Yes, although not in the same sense as, say, an air-to-air missile. They're programmed prior to launch.
Technically, a ballistic missile is, by definition, unguided, as it follows a trajectory dictated by pure physics (hence, the name "ballistic").
However, the vast majority of modern ballistic missiles are equipped with a warhead which does have a guidance package. So, the ballistic missile is launched, and follows a predictable flightpath. At some point, the warhead deploys, and then, the warhead can steer itself onto target. In some cases, (such as nuclear ICBMs), the warhead is actual a subassembly (called a "bus") which contains multiple actual warheads, and the bus itself is guided. In other cases, the warhead is a single package with guidance and steering integrated into it. The key here is that the missile itself is unguided, and follows a standard path, while the warhead package may or may not contain guidance.
An anti-ballistic missile is a based missile system made to shoot down ballistic missiles. Usually ABM consists of a missile system guided by heat (more primitive), or by laser guided systems. When these missiles egnite, they send a cloud of cluster munitions in front of the target projectile in order to shread the warhead to peices.

Pure aggression/threat. There is far more risk to the human race from atomic weapons/ballistic missiles than potential benefit.
He did not. The missiles he got were sent from Russia.

A volley. If guided, a swarm.

A ballistic missile is a term that defines a missile's flight path. There are two types of flight paths as far as missiles are concerned: approach angle control and ballistic. A ballistic flight path describes a missile that is launched to a high altitude and adjusts itself to "fall" onto the target. That is how ballistic missiles are capable of such long attack distances. They fly high into the air and, depending how far the target is, either drop on top of it or simply glide to it. Approach angle control describes a missile that reaches it's target under it's own power. Meaning, it's fuel is pushing the missile all the way until detonation. This differs from a ballistic flight path because, generally speaking, a ballistic missiles booster fuel is used up completely by the time it reaches it's apex of it's flight. Hope that answers your question.
