Figuring out where and when to launch a weapon to hit a moving target involves a lot of really complicated math so it’s really like solving a bunch of equations to get all the answers you need, so the solution to all the firing equations is known as a Firing Solution.

All weapons, even guided ones, need some kind of firing solution to get into position to either hit the target or so the guidance system can work.
