usually the mission commander is fairly experienced in terms of operation of and target identification.
usually in these systems theirs a dial ignore setting igitang will probably have a better term, where you can filter out things like commercial airliners, or radar signatures that might be attributed to things like birds to help clear out your screen so you can focus on actual military targets.

Its called a QR-Function (Quick Reaction) It can be set to Auto-initiate, auto select weapon(if different variance of missile on the platform),auto-lock,
Manual fire. For a certain range threat it can auto fire, but it is certainly not 30K ft+ auto fire.
In most cases, it is a confirmation of the person tracking the target and the person firing. They are not the same person. It is setup this way to avoid these types of issues.
EDIT: MB, misread post what I could elaborate on.
Yes, there is a filter setting on most tactical radars. Very much like what you described. It is exactly as you said "filtering" or "Tuning" . There are many settings but unfortunately I cant discuss that...
