I believe the Hellfire homes in on a laser spot projected by a forward
observer or the launching vehicle. By the way, I've seen an AH-64 with
16 Hellfires mounted (no FFAR's or other ordnance except for the
cannon).  I remember reading somewhere that the weight limit for
ordnance depends on the air temperature.
