It starts by knowing its position (Not GPS weapon. Could be value = zero, zero & zero), and of course it knows where it needs to go.
It knows its velocity, in say North, East & Down movements, therefore can calculate where is was, then where its been, and can use that to know where it needs to go...

Developed a special "search and re-acquire track" mode for such difficult cases! :ok:
