Spike, are there purely optically guided missiles out there? I could think that it would be difficult for subradar missiles (would require some descendant of the silicon retina technology to recognize anything in all the blur), but for those coming right out of the blue (ballistic) it would be difficult to jam the CCD, but by very powerful lasers or nuke flares, and there would still be GPS and/or inertial navigation available.
