The Terran Knowledge Bank
The Image Recognition Missile was a projectile weapon used by the Terran Confederation and Kilrathi fleets. The missile locked on a visual source, allowing it to track a single ship without risk of hitting anything else. Locking took several seconds. The Spiculum IR was a Terran Confederation version of the missile. Image Recognition missiles were found on the Rapier II, Raptor and Gratha.
