Guidance method where a target is illuminated by a laser, and a weapon's seeker homes in on the reflected beam to achieve precision strikes.
A stand-off capability refers to the ability of a weapon to be deployed at a distance from the target, typically to enhance aircraft or launch platform survivability.
