Yeah, just like the BAT...oh, wait, that can be pitched into an attack
area then autonomously identify and kill targets based on SONAR and IR
imaging. So the technology for post-launch autonomous target location
and designation not only exists but has been fielded. And it's not
hard to zero in on an emitting radar even if you don't have its exact
location fixed before you're airborne. Wild Weasels figured out how to
attack pop-up SAM threats 35 years ago. With a stealthy platform, you
can tease radars into coming up with even more finess than relying on
terrain masking.
