All projectiles (including missiles) are ballistic in nature. There is a reason they're called "Ballistic Missles".
A railgun projectile, acting as a cruise missile would, would simply be the same cruise missile without the propulsion system. The guidance system would be the same, the warhead would be the same, only the manner of providing the impulse would change.

Here is a snippet...
But how much work the software does is not what makes it remarkable. What makes it remarkable is how well the software works. This software never crashes. It never needs to be re-booted. This software is bug-free. It is perfect, as perfect as human beings have achieved. Consider these stats : the last three versions of the program -- each 420,000 lines long-had just one error each. The last 11 versions of this software had a total of 17 errors. Commercial programs of equivalent complexity would have 5,000 errors.
This software is the work of 260 women and men based in an anonymous office building across the street from the Johnson Space Center in Clear Lake, Texas, southeast of Houston. They work for the "on-board shuttle group," a branch of Lockheed Martin Corps space mission systems division
Now, I have a software project, that has been in the works for five years, has had 2900 bugs, and has had a sum-total of 5 developers on it, on a budget 1/100th the size, that changes enourmously weekly...and it's true; the user's have no idea what they want...and my users are engineers (!) who don't want to pay for 'engineered' software.

With SA gone, do I still need differential GPS (DGPS)?
It depends on your specific user requirements. If you are using GPS for safety-critical navigation, you will still need to use the Coast Guard DGPS or Nationwide DGPS to get the higher accuracy (1-3 meter) and the integrity monitoring/warning service. If you are a surveyor requiring sub-meter positioning, you will still need some form of DGPS to achieve that level of precision.
On the other hand, if you are a trucking company using GPS to track and manage assets, the
