If other vehicles of the system are mobile and change location periodically the most vulnurable part is the radar vehicle. Both search and tracking radars are vulnurable after their positions are revealed by elint.
One difficulty is detecting the arm launch but the longer range - faster variants are generally having higher signatures and can be detected easier. hypersonic air breathing missiles also generally fly high in a quasi ballistic trajectory and can be detected by radars as well. When an attack is detected best course of action rather than trying to take down all incoming missiles is to close the radar change location because of missile gps tracking and then disappear from iir,optical,radar as well because of secondary tracking on incoming anti radar missiles. Closing and going somewhere else is easy if the system is mobile enough. The problem of disappearing can be solved by using camouflage nets, folding down the radar and the vehicle hiding under the camouflage net in my opinion. It claims to cover both iir,rf,optical wavelengths. It is still a good option to change the position of the net periodically as well because of intel leaks or extensive search by spy satellites-sar systems etc. The net should be multispectral coverage of iir-rf bands since satellites operate in multispectral bands and compare the pictures on different frequencies to detect concealed targets.
A secondary radar vehicle far away can pop out from its camouflage net bunker fold up the radar and activate taking the hidden vehicles job and it can repeat the close-run-hide option giving its job to the other vehicle when attacked repeatedly.
