Falklands - cruise missiles strike.

Container NSM
The IIR seeker and target rejection capability of the weapon means that a target profile, general position, course and speed would be all that would be needed. The missile wouldnt attack a target not matching the profile...where an active radar missile would oblige us, under normal OTH missile RoE's, to ensure that the target environment was clear. Realistically a modest paramilitary/civvy optronic turret on a FIGAS fisheries Islander and a laptop would be enough to target the NSM-in-a-box.
A commercial GPRS/EDGE 2G-and-a-bit GSM connection, such as that provided on the islands, could do the rest and would be sufficient to transfer that data at practical rates. Near-zero signature commercial fuel cell UPS systems are available that could power the receiver, for many months at a time, without out needing to be touched as well. Very doable at face value.
