I just threw it in, just in case. Otherwise, I am well aware that CFR is capable of beamforming, ie APAR illumination mode. Nevertheless, CAFRAD has a dedicated illumination radar (AYR) to beamform to illuminate or serve as a data link, which I believe was thought to take the burden off CFR so that CFR can allocate more resources to tracking,updating and classification while AYR is on guidance and data links. It is also worth bearing in mind that active radar seeker equipped missiles do not have the seeker on from the go (as the power output is limited) and rely on the data link, GPS - INS correction in mid-course. Illumination could make it easier for a missile in semi-active mode to plot a better course during mid-course, or to be guided precisely to the target in the presence of clutter, decoys, jamming or object separation (bombs, missiles etc. that may separate from the target and pose a bigger threat). These are all my assumptions by the way.
