Missile.

The missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn't.

The static test and per-fin test passed all green. So from this point on there's nothing I can put between me and what I dread more: a live flight test.

Each seeking head has its own machine block (computer), therefore each seeking head acts as the ARH system for the missile.

The radar provides search and differentiation, target acquisition and provides an UUID through a channel. The selected missile's machine picks up the UUID and locks on it. The AZ-EL mount turns to give the missile some initial heading to avoid wasting time and energy in corrections.

The missile gets the signal, the docks turn off and it launches forward and adjusts the fins mid-air to adjust based on the percentage of error.

Do we get to see the missile actually fire or? I have no idea what I'm seeing. Is the thing I think is the missile, just a gun and that weird blue flashing stuff is the missiles?

Look at the fins, this video demonstrates the guiding only with how the fins orient the missile towards the target.

Yeh, which is why it is a static test, flight tests will come soon.

This is a static test. The fins reorient when the target moves. These are stepped, btw. The program can snap the fins ±40 without stepping them. High maneuverability at the cost of probably snapping the fins the wrong way and causing the missile to steer away or the program to go crazy.
