    If we are talking realistically, star trackers in space are just good for orientation data, not position. Modern ring-laser gyros have low very drift rates. ICBM flight times are short.

    Assuming the military cares to retrofit a modern IMU, I doubt a star tracker is the least bit necessary for a good navigational fix.
