I’ve never heard of a mode in the Aegis software that allows for the generation of a CCIP (Continuously Computed Impact Point) to give the missile the correct deflection to hit target.

I think the only change in the engagement sequence is the loss of SPG guidance in the terminal phase. It doesn’t seem like any change in the data-transfer load is necessary. What is known is that the SPY arrays are already accurate enough at range to bring the missile close enough to the target that only illuminators are needed for end game guidance. ie the SPG-62s only illuminate, unlike other FCRs like the Orekhs which need to re-acquire the target. With the SPY radar getting more accurate at closer ranges that might compensate a little for the lack of SPG guidance, though a loss in terms of accuracy and thus a drop in Pk is inevitable.

Yep my mistake. I’d heard that the Burkes were scheduled to be fitted with SSDS.

Thats news to me. Didn’t know they ever wanted to overlay SSDS over AEGIS.
