Upon detection the Vandal was assigned to the ESSM, which was fired using inertial mid-course guidance. The missile acquired the target, switched to terminal guidance, and intercepted the target. The missile's proximity fuze detected the target and detonated the ESSM's warhead. 6 march of what year ? AFAICT the last Vandal (former Talon missiles) was expended sometime in the 2004-5 timeframe... Best regards from Italy, Dott. Piergiorgio. It's a 2002 article from Sea Power http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...05/ai_n9021027
