Just tested it, I placed a ship of race A with large passive EM and TH sensors out in space, and 50m km away I placed a ship of race B with active sensors with 50K signature, and another ship at 40m km with a missile fire control with 50k signature as well. The ship of race A could detect the active sensors, and could not detect the missile fire controls. Even after firing the missiles and guiding them in on target, at no point did the ship from race A detect the missile fire control, despite it being closer than the active sensor.
In the class display tab as well, the missile fire controls don't list a value for GPS, which is the signature strength. Fairly certain it's included on the component summary by error.
Tested again at point blank range, close enough to detect the strength 3 thermals of the ship from race B and there was no detection of the missile fire control, during launch or guidance.
