Nobody knows. I strongly strongly suspect that we're NOT getting any ATA upgrade. 

 

The differences between the baseline H and K are probably very minor. Like software or minor performance enhancements. All references refer to the H/K as basically one type. The ATA upgrade came later AFAIK, and K doesn't specifically refer to ATA.

Wags mentions several times in the SLAM-ER video that it can function in a "fire and forget" mode which to me suggests ATA capability. 

 

No I don't think so, he's just referring to guiding to an accurate static GPS location like JDAM.

 

ATA is the ability to perform scene image matching and target recognition to guide to a specific point on a target, without MITL intervention, including moving targets (ships most likely).
