It does
not.
In A's, we're told the Arc totally destroys everything within 100km of the detonation point.
The Cradle is nowhere near that large, yet it took
six blasts from XV-class ships to blow it up! That's like saying a 100lb is the same thing as a nuke.
Lastly, the Arc isn't equipment that can be installed on short notice. It takes days minimum. Heck, I think it takes longer than the week they had between the attack on Ground HQ and the Cradle launch. Before you try to argue they might have begun installation work earlier, I want to point out that nobody had any evidence that they were dealing with anything that required that level of firepower. It wasn't until after the GFHQ attack that Yuuno narrowed down the possible threat to the Cradle. Even then, Main HQ might not have allowed the deployment of the Arc on mere suspicions. Recall in A's that, they didn't install the Arc on the Asura until the Book and the Knights had been confirmed to be active again.
