All missiles, regardless of design, have these main components – warhead, body, propellant, steering surfaces, and communications hardware/software.

Whichever “released” the missile, communicated it instructions to follow, usually coordinates, to which the missile follows.

The more sophisticated the method of communication, the more accurate the missile is; hence why there are so many…

Infrared, radar, laser, GPS, “timing” components, etc…

And along with missile control surfaces, help make this missile “guided”.
