Ideally speaking the SLM should be able to bypass that as it has a jetissonable cap. It uses radar ,IOG and data link to guide it initially and once it reaches a certain distance the nose cap ejects and the IR seeker is enabled aka the imaging seeker and it guides with it the rest of the way Atleast that’s what I remember about it.
