It's a very interesting talk but from what I saw that's not a terminal guidance package by any means. The antennas would need to be too big to fit into a missile. Also it doesn't work very well in an urban environment as the end of the talk shows.

There's a huge difference between targeting the radar of an aircraft or a ship or a mobile SAM site and targeting a cell phone.


You don't need a complex guidance package when traditional direction finding and triangulation will produce coordinates that can be used to direct artillery, air strikes, IED, etc. Sigint targeting is quite common.
