Joint Analysis System

If a cruise missile (CM) attempts to adjudicate against a BSE which has already been adjudicated (by SEAD, perhaps) and the CM finds no resource items of value remaining against which it can adjudicate (ex. it lacks appropriate SSPDs), then it will adjudicate against…nothing. It can’t revector, and it will retain its munitions as if it indeed struck a target which was already destroyed and could kill nothing more. This situation is most likely to be seen when the target planning process plans a CM to attack a target in order to meet a required damage level, but a mission (like SEAD or TCT) which hasn’t calculated an expected attrition level against the BSE actually strikes it first.
