In regards to missiles and torpedoes, what exactly do they mean when they are working on a firing solution. Especially when most modern missiles and torpedoes seem to have automatic homing / target funding technology?

The are several major elements to firing any kind of heavy ordinance ….. in older parlance firing solution spoke of a solution to the math problem of calculating trajectory to ensure you hit a moving target….. with modern smart ordinance the “firing solution” accounts for clear path to the target, trajectory solution, and collateral damage ….. know your target and what’s beyond/around it ….. a calculated trajectory might make a poor firing solution if it would result in unacceptable secondary damage ….
