aircraft:

get a radar fix on the target. the computer projects a funnel of invisible photons centred on the target from the missiles launch place. the computer will keep this 'funnel' centred on the target. fire the missile. the missile can detect the photons and will alter fin positions to move towords the center of the photon funal. the missile stays on a direct corse fot the target. time from launch to impact: less than one second

land:

program the missile with a course to follow to reach its target. fire it

ship/submarine:

place a metal detector into the torpedo and program it to move towords the strongest signal in a paticuler direction

What is the difference in an AIM-7 sparrow and an AMRAM?

The AIM-7 Sparrow is a semi-active radar guided missile. This means that the missile needs a radar lock on from the plane to guide it. The Aim-120 AMRAM is an active radar guided missile which means the radar is in the missile itself. The plane that fired it could explode into a million pieces and the missile will still track the target. Not only that, but the closer an AMRAM gets, the stronger the signal and the more likely it will hit. It's called "Fire and Forget" and every major nation is switching to that type of missile.

What must be the minimum velocity of a missile if it is to strike a target 100 meters away?

Do 3rd and 4th generation IR surface to air missile require lead and elevation if yes then why?

Yes, 3rd and 4th generation IR surface to air missiles do require lead and elevation because these parameters are necessary for the missile to accurately intercept a target. Lead accounts for the target's movement, adjusting the missile's trajectory to intercept the target at the right point. Elevation ensures that the missile is launched at the correct angle to reach the target at a specific altitude.
