So I'm sure you all know about the "Wild Weasals" in Vietnam. They'd fly dangerous missions to destroy Vietnamese Surface-to-Air missile installations. They did this usually by using anti-radiation missiles. They'd home in on the SAM site's radar station, using their own radar against them.
I propose an on-board sensor for missiles that works similarly. Instead of using an on-board active sensor, it'd home in on the enemy's own active sensor.
It might have to be pretty expensive or large though, as I could easily see this kind of thing dominating missile combat.
