Guidance lock

Guidance locks, also known as guidance packages, are UNSC missile components designed to guide missiles to their intended targets. The lock is projected through the launcher, be it a shoulder-mounted missile launcher, or a capital ship.
Most UNSC missile systems possess Guidance locks, including the M41 missile,Halo 2 Anaconda surface-to-air missiles,Halo: First Strike - page 20 the Lancet micro-missile, Argent V missiles,Halo: The Fall of Reach - page 70 the ordnance of the LAU-65D/SGM-151, and ordnance launched from starships such as Shiva-class Nuclear MissilesHalo: The Fall of Reach - page 139 and Archer Missiles.Halo: The Fall of Reach - page 106 Some mine-type explosives such as Moray space mines also possess Guidance locks.Halo: First Strike - page 54
Some Covenant weapons also possess a sort of built-in automatic Guidance lock, such as the Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon and the Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher.
Smaller Covenant ships, such as the DAV-class light corvette , sometimes use electronic countermeasure to counter Guidance locks, as was the case in the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV. However, larger Covenant warships usually use Pulse laser turrets instead.
