−	Like its sister missiles, the primitive guidance packages the post–[[BattleTech eras|Succession Wars]] era [[Successor States]] could manufacture limited the Killer Whale's effectiveness. To overcome this, weapons manufacturers under contract to the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]]<ref name="TMp292"/> created the '''Killer Whale-T''' by removing the bulky guidance system and replacing it with communications links that let gunners guide the missile like a remote-controlled aerospace fighter. The ability to manually guide the missile and change targets more than made up for the Killer Whale-T's inability to target small craft.<ref name="AT2p41">''AeroTech 2'', p. 41, "Teleoperated Missiles"</ref>	+	Like its sister missiles, the primitive guidance packages the post [[Succession Wars]] era [[Successor States]] could manufacture limited the Killer Whale's effectiveness.

As it is functionally identical to the Killer Whale, a Santa Ana missile can be fired from any launcher that can handle the Killer Whale. It can also be fired from a launcher on a planet's surface to hit a target elsewhere on the planet's surface.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', p. 134</ref>
