descriptioon of an anti-aircraft defence system
I need some help with this phrase. I have found that РЛС is радиолокационная станция but I am not quite sure how to best translate наводиться in this case.
Here's the context:
"У Витязя пункт боевого управления находится отдельно от радиолокационной установки. Это означает, что если противник применит ракету, которая наводиться именно на излучение РЛС, боевой расчет выживет."
So far I have:
This means that if the enemy uses a rocket/missile which is attracted by radar emissions, the combat unit will survive.
How does this sound? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

radar-seeking missile
Can be named HARM, for "high-speed anti-radiation missile", but if you're speaking descriptively, as in your context, you can call it a "radar-seeking missile" (by analogy with, and as a opposed to, a heat-seeking missile).
Example:
"A U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter flying over Iraq's southern no-fly zone fired a radar-seeking missile at an Iraqi radar site Tuesday morning, Pentagon officials said. Pentagon officials said the HARM missile was fired near Basra..."

it is precisely within the range of the X station radar beams
The sentence means that Vitaliy's command position or attack position is separate from the station, and if the enemy attacks the radar station, his position will survive because the missile won't find them. They will not be the target.

In this context, the phrase should read: the racket is aimed exactly at the area within the rage of the X station radar beams.

: This almost reads like some kind of Russian mafia crime fiction: Vitaliy's command position, this rAcket. And of course it misses the actual point altogether.

: "homes in on" is correct. / not necessarily "enemy" (radar) / Adding "precisely" for "именно" might be a good idea, b/c the Vityaz’s Command Post is also a source of heat, but the en missile in question is programmed to acquire radar beams only.

anti-radiation missile (ARM)
or smart/precisely guided anti-radiation missile
An anti-radiation missile (ARM) is a missile which is designed to detect and home on an enemy radio emission source. Typically these are designed for use against an enemy radar, although jammers and even radios used for communication can also be targeted in this manner.

: No vote, because it's not your suggestion. The Misha posted this option under Discussion and I also mentioned it with my answer. Earlier you posted a different, convoluted version, then after Misha and I mentioned this one, you deleted yours & posted it.

we all are in the way to find the exact military termonology. it's the term "anti-radiation missile" is the most commonly used ones in defense.
