According to CEA, the CEA Mount systems goal by the manufacture when fully functioning can provide multi-track, lock, engage and guide the ships intercepting SAMS on multiple targets at the direction the array mount is pointed at. At present very few ship and land based Stand-alone Fire control radar systems can't do or achieve that includes SPS-62. In allot of ways it seems it functions the same way as the fighter based Pulse-Doppler and phased array radars fitted to the current upgraded 3rd generation and all 4th generation fighters onwards which can track and engage on more then 1/2 a dozen targets.
