I could be mistaken, but I think intelligent (fire and forget) missiles
just have their Intelligence rating that they use to maintain a lock ...
but that's it.
Hmmm ... see page 101 of Cannon Compaion (under Missile Combat) ... I'm
not sure if what I was saying is correct or not. (it says apply ECM
modifiers if the missile passes through an ECM field, but doesn't say
what those modifiers are :/)

So you give the NPCs the advantage? The players don't have a number of
rerolls equal to their professional rating ...

Net successes on ECM tests raise the vehicle's sig. It's possible that
you counter all of the missiles sigs with two successes (I think every 2
successes raise the sig by 1). Also, every success you negate is one less
success you need to negate via combat pool ...

I said FROM the Caribbean. Unless your players are stupid and/or
suicidal, they probably won't face worse than security grade opposition;
even from the above.
