Difference between Infrared homing and Missile

Infrared homing vs. Missile

Infrared homing is a passive weapon guidance system which uses the infrared (IR) light emission from a target to track and follow it. In modern language, a missile is a guided self-propelled system, as opposed to an unguided self-propelled munition, referred to as a rocket (although these too can also be guided).
