rdfs:comment	The Image Recognition Missile memorizes the targeted ship in a pilot's sights and once locking, it tracks the targeted ship. Kilrathi ships that sport the missile are the Gratha. AIM-42 "Spiculum" IR is an all-aspect guided missile used on Terran Confederation starfighters such as the Rapiers. It requires a several-second lock period, during which it "memorizes" the electromagnetic silhouette, infrared signature, etc. of the target. If it overshoots, it will circle around and continue to attempt impact, however it can run out of fuel and self-destruct, or be thrown off by ECM decoys. Image recognition is the process through which a computer can identify an image. Image Recognition (IR) is a computer-aided capability of missiles to identify and memorize a targeted ship. Once a fighter gains a lock and launches the IR missile, electronic and visual signatures specific to that target are copied to the missile's AI program. It's difficult to evade. Image recognition missiles are not to be confused with heat seeking missiles using an infrared camera to find any heat-emitting target.
