Think of it as the ship that fired the missiles to have done it some time before. The distance between the ships will decide the capacity in jamming, targeting and using all types of ECMs against the incoming missiles. Not writen in the given rules, but already writen down in my test games is the following rule:

"All friendly ships that are near the target ships and with PD range of it can use its PD weapons to target enemy missiles, torpedoes and squadrons."
