English term or phrase: tethered weapon
The weapons function much the same as our tethered weapons except they use a radio link to communicate with the system.

The weapon’s dongle is plugged into the Primary Simulation Computer (PSC) weapon port in the same way as the umbilical of a tethered system–controlled weapon.

drahtgelenkte Waffe
Explanation:
Drahtgelenkt is wire-guided - tethered is mit Draht verbunden.

A wire-guided missile is a missile guided by signals sent to it via thin wires reeled out during flight. This guidance system is most common for anti-tank missiles, where its ability to be used in areas of limited line-of-sight make it useful, while the range limit imposed by the length of the wire is not a serious concern.
http://www.answers.com/topic/wire-guided-missile

A tethered vehicle such as a missile system comprises a tethered vehicle body having a control system and propulsion system therein, a control station for the tethered vehicle located outside of the tethered vehicle body, and an optical fiber data link extending from the tethered vehicle control system to the control station.
