Anyone know some information about this SAM system? I’ve read some impressive claims for this weapon, like 60 G end game manuevers etc. I am also curious as to how this system will deal with multiple targets. I realize that each missile has its own active radar, but how will the launching vessel keep each missile pointed at a seperate target. I would think that during a saturation missile attack, this system would experience problems with missiles locking on to targets they weren’t intended to lock-on to or multiple missiles inadvertantly seeking the same target once they have gone “autonomous.”
Are these missiles controlled in some way by the launching vessel, perhaps by an Aegis type radar?
