laser guided
Light-beam steered weaponry
Laser guided describes weapons or systems that use a laser beam to direct themselves toward a target.
A laser designator illuminates the target, and the missile or bomb follows the reflected light to its destination: laser guided missiles, laser guided bombs.
The term extends loosely to any precisely directed action: a laser guided focus on quarterly earnings.
