What is a “firing solution”?

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?

Modern weapon systems do often have computers doing the math, but they still have to figure out where to point and when to shoot.

For air defense, missiles and CIWS ammo (a large caliber gatling gun for close in air defense most navies use in one form or another) are limited and they’re ineffective at certain ranges and angles, so the computer might decide waiting a few seconds to engage is the best move.

Depending on the situation, you (or a computer) also have to decide what weapon is best to use, and how much/ many to expend.
