CMD is a terminal defence system. It can only protect your own location and a little bit around you. And it can be fully automated, depending on the target. Tomahawk will give you enough time to launch interceptors in waves, while also having a man in the loop, Brahmos and Zircon won't. That's why CMDs are generally fully automatic.
BMD is entirely different and requires a lengthy process with a man in the loop, like in the video. But the technology for what they attempted to do in the video doesn't exist yet. And when such a tech does come into existence, then BMs will become obsolete. So it's pointless to talk about.
oh lord.
The video is to show you how the C&C related to the Interception of Cruise Missile (notice the video also showing the sub launching Tomahawk) the video is completely untrue, however, the procedure is close to reality albeit, a shorten one. Since ship's and land base CIC are very sensitive area, I cannot show or tell you how exactly work from a command chain to the actual interception.
There are a few stages to intercept a missile. And those stages are time consuming, the kills chain of a missile interception is like this
Stage 1 : Identify (ID where the location the missile is launching from, their speed, target heading)
Stage 2 : Verify (Verify the Target, what type of missile, decoy, booster they are using)
Stage 3 : Calculate the Trajectory (ie where they are heading, possible target location)
Stage 4 : Solution (Form an intercept solution, kill tracks and the best intercepting route, include altitude and heading)
Stage 5 : Launch (Launches missile to intercept, Prime the missile, put in the target solution)
Stage 6 : intercept (Actual intercepting the missile, the missile travel to where the Cruise Missile heading)
The video show on the TV skipped Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4 and Stage 6. What they basically do is identify a launch, then the commander ask for a target solution and they knew where the missile is heading, and although he asked for a intercept solution, they fired without actually putting it in and have not been mentioned since.
Even an extremely shorten kill chain, it still take about 1 minutes 10 second to launch and intercept the missile, another 20 or so second to see if they can chase down the missile. In reality, the missile intercept window is only about 2 to 3 minutes (Judging from the fact that missile travelling at 9 mile per minutes) at a range of 60 miles (100 km) Which give you 5 minutes from launch to target for you to intercept. Which is impossible to do for all 59 targets.
Can't tell you much about this, but in actual event, given you know where to launch, it will take at least 15 minutes to perform all 6 stages and intercept all the missile. If Russia have AWACS on suit, maybe, if Russia know where the missile came from, maybe, if US launch the missile at tandem (so one by one not a salvo) maybe.
