That's a really good question. I'd say yes. The only effects I've seen in a quick scan of the FAQ that skip declaring target are the 2nd shot of multi-attacks (like cluster missiles and TLT). Despite Dengar existing at the time, the FAQ entry (including for R3-A2) only mentions multi-attack weapons. Though Dengar cannot equip it, so maybe that's why the combo hasn't been addressed yet.

The steps of the Declare Target step are pretty important (e.g. measure range and arc, pay cost if applicable, and target becomes defender), so I imagine they're always followed unless it's a mulit-attack. Though it's entirely possible a future FAQ will contradict this, I'd assume R3-A2 works great with Snap Shot, as do other "when you declare a target" effects.

An ARC could combine that with Tactician to really shut the target down, especially if another ship further gifts it an ion token...
