Why long-range weapons still need a complete targeting chain

A naval gun or hypersonic weapon needs an effective targeting system to turn its performance into combat value.

Notes

A gun, mounting, and fire-control system need to work together. Modern hypersonic weapons also require a way to find and aim at the intended target. An impressive weapon alone cannot establish its combat value. The targeting arrangements must allow its performance to be used.
