* Laser guided shells require laser target designators, usually with observation teams on the ground but UAV installations are possible.

This is vital when a target is within range of many fire units and the number of fire units needed depends on the nature of the target, and the circumstances and purpose of its engagement.

Targeting is concerned with selecting the right weapons in the right quantities to achieve the required effects on the target.

Bodyguards act as a shield for the potential target, keeping lookout for potential attackers ( sometimes in advance, for example on a parade route ), and putting themselves in harm's way — both by simple presence, showing that physical force is available to protect the target, and by shielding the target during any attack.

The limitations of beam-riding guidance ( which was slaved to an optical sight on single seater fighters and a radar with night fighters ) restricted the missile to attacks against targets flying a straight course and made it essentially useless against a maneuvering target.
