This is not that unusual because a normal Pantsir battery can operate with only one or a couple of vehicles scanning for targets and passing target data on to the other platforms and the command unit... the command unit then allocates targets based on position of the units, direction and range of targets and numbers of rounds and missiles left in each unit.

In this case the command role would be taken by the ship, so the mount would operate as a pantsir vehicle that does not need to scan for targets.

This makes a lot of sense for the reasons already given without reducing or limiting the performance of the system.
