I should have been a little clearer. I mean could incoming missiles show up through a link? For example, I'm flying the helo and my base is the FFG 10 Nm away and his radar would pick up incoming missiles directed at me and send the info by link. I prefer to launch my own CM so it would help with that. I did some research on the seahawk's radar and it wouldn't be able to pick up missiles, but I assume through a link you could get the info.
Although it doesn't happen often, friendly AI ships can link missiles. However, I've never seen one link an AA missile, so your only warning would be the launcher's FCR and or the "Enemy Missile Lock" warning, which by then it is too late to respond.

On that note, I really wish the ECM systems in the game gave out some kind of warning when something paints you with an FCR, and not when the missile itself has locked on to you.
