I think you'll probably find that this feature is in fact an ION cannon.  
In the Covert Ops the computer actually uses them.  Bummer really.

Yeah, I actually found that out the day after I posted.  I was playing and was 
actually able to see the ion cannon fire.  I was pretty surprised, since I 
can't recall the computer ever using it during the regular missions.

	Better than the ion-nuke combo I usually get in mutliplayer

No.  My fiancee and I were playing against each other once and all the crates 
kept showing up near her.
I found myself at the victim end of:
Airstrike on constriction yard.
Ion cannon to finish off CY.
Nuke to kill the weapons factory.

All within about five seconds of each other.
If she had waited another ten seconds or so I would have finished my MCY 
first...
