    Huh, hadn’t thought about that capability, but it does make a ton of sense if the first target was successfully serviced (or no longer needs servicing). No need to waste an interceptor by launching another for target #2.

      Or if the radar and guidance system decides another incoming threat is more important to take out. Like if the tracking system calculates the probable hit location of the new target to be a school/hospital/commandopost etc.

      Still impressive to see in action.
