'''Guidance Locks''', also known as '''guidance packages''', are [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] missile components designed to guide missiles to their intended targets. The lock is projected through the launcher, be it a shoulder-mounted missile launcher, or a capital ship.

== Overview ==

Most UNSC missile systems possess guidance locks, including the [[M19 surface-to-surface missile|M19 missile]]<ref name="h2">'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref>, [[Anaconda surface-to-air missile|Anaconda Surface-to-Air Missiles]]<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 20''</ref>, the [[Lancet micro-missile|Lancet Micro-missile]], [[Argent V missile|Argent V Missiles]]<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 70''</ref>, the ordnance of the [[LAU-65D/SGM-151]], and ordnance launched from starships such as [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shiva-class Nuclear Warheads]]<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 139''</ref> and [[Archer missile|Archer Missiles]]<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 106''</ref>. Some mine-type explosives such as [[Moray space mine|Moray Space Mines]] also possess guidance locks.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 54''</ref>

Some [[~~Covenant Empire|~~Covenant]] weapons also possess a sort of built-in automatic guidance lock, such as the [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon]] and the [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher]].<ref name="h2"/>
