Have you looked up "Tactical and Strategic Missile Guidance" by Zarchan

each square click be organized? How quickly can this organization get
information and collate it? How will that information be sent to the
launch sites? How will the launch sites input it into the missile?
*How accurate and timely will it be?*

Note that at the end of Desert Storm, Swartzkopf designated a spot for
ceasefire talks with the Iraqis that he thought was held by the US. But
it wasn't. The units that he thought were there were several kilometers
away.
