Looks like an Enhanced Radar Cross-section Target Amplifier to me.

Stasrted reading a book by Victor Davis Hanson. He writes about the naval battle at Salamis. 40,000 persian sailors DROWNED in that battle. If you’re going to shoot from the sea, why, I’ll bet the people on land will be able to shoot back. They don’t have to blow your boat up, they just have to put the sailors in the sea.

The bigger question is why would you want to guide a 76mm round. That is a lot of expense for not a whole lot of hitting power. A 155 can smash a bunker or a tank so being able to put them exactly where you want them is worth the expense. But 76mm is going to bounce off a modern tank. And any sort of reinforced bunker is going shrug them off as well. Then you take out most of the explosives in the 76mm to fit in the electronics needed for guidance and you have a very expensive truck buster.

If your bullet costs more than the target you are waging economic warfare against yourself every time you pull the trigger.
