The concept's success or failure requires the components of the chain to work both collectively and successively and not independently or individually. Until there is demonstration that the product can deliver its end result you don't have a product - just components of a product.
That statement is a contradiction. By working in a chain, components are not working collectively but sequentially.
C4ISR for support of ASBM was completed in 2007.
Methods for detection, localization and tracking of ships were developed, enabling space space surveillance system in direct support of long distance strike systems. The text stresses the importance of the resulting system in monitoring movements of 19 capital ships.
The text in this diagram mentions two means of locating ships. One is through triangulation of EM emission. The other is through the stitching and processing of multiple satellite images. Both methods are completely automated, as in no human intervention. The latter method achieved 98% accuracy in automatically identification of 19 capital ships. Most importantly, ASBM has already gone through a full scale test as a result.
In addition to ELINT and optical imaging platforms, the system also incorporates the use of Radar Satellites. The system is already in use, with applications in monitoring of world wide hot spots, Diaoyudao, and natural disasters.
