>Do missiles have signatures?
yes, if by signature you mean ways to tell one type missile from another. the way you have profile recognition for boats & planes.
you have:
how much visible light reflects from it (albedo)
how much and what frequencies of radar reflect from it.
speed of missile
exhaust spectra (light emitted by the burning rocket fuel) + possible additional elements added by ablation of the rocket nozzle
shape of exhaust plume
all of these factors can help determine what type of missile was fired.
