radar-guided
Beam-steered to target
Radar-guided describes weapons, missiles, or systems that use radar to track and home in on targets.
The radar may be onboard the weapon itself or transmitted from a launching platform: radar-guided missiles, radar-guided anti-aircraft systems.
The term distinguishes these from heat-seeking, laser-guided, or manually aimed alternatives.
