Drone missile?

Isn't that what guided missiles... Do?

Guided missiles are usually guided by laser or gps, this missile sounds like it's more of a fly by wire remote control situation, like a fpv drone.

Dang yo, flying a drone at 90mph is wicked hard, flying a missile the same way at mach speeds is insane.

So basically, instead of the programming to direct the missile to the programmed target (gps location, laser, intertidal, ballistic, whatever) the operator has direct input to the missile. Meaning they could fire it, have it fly around a mountain and hit the enemy position from behind

Most fancy missiles do that already. You could teach it the map of the area and tell it to follow a river bed for such and such time then head to target, for example.
