Homing missile

Homing missile is a special type of missile, that when launched, locks in on a target using heat seeking technology.

Many types of gunships and transports utilize this type of missile as a strong form of defense against enemy snub fighters and turrets. Boba Fett's Slave I is equipped with homing missiles. CIS droid starfighters are equipped with a large amount of explosive homing missiles, that can easily penetrate steel plating on Republic LAAT Gunships. Some types of homing missile can be launched and then controlled manually from the cockpit of a starfighter, or from a small computer panel if deployed from a portable rocket launcher.
