    When it comes to guidance systems, I suggest something like this:

    IR guidance: Passive system, locks onto heat sources (aircraft exhausts) and homes in on them. Short range. Fire and forget.

    Semi active radar guidance: Useful for medium range engagements. Target must be illuminated by radar at all times in order to work.

    Active radar guidance: long range missile. Fire and forget.

    Inertial guidance. Useful for long range cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.
