'''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.

Most UNSC missile systems possess guidance locks, including [[102mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank]] missiles fired from the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]]<ref>'''[[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>'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref>

Smaller Covenant ships, such as the [[Covenant stealth corvette|Stealth Corvette]], sometimes use [[Electronic countermeasures|Electronic Countermeasures]] to counter guidance locks, as was the case in the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. However, larger Covenant warships usually use [[Pulse laser turret|Point Defense Lasers]] instead.
