I gather that it's some sort of homing beacon for missiles so it gives 100% hits? I came across a NARC vehicle in a convoy ambush mission.
How does it work? Does it allow all missiles from the entire lance to guide to target, or just the launching mech? Do SRMs also benefit?

Here's the sarna.net entry for Narc Missile Beacon, that's how it works in TT.
In this game, as @Jade_Rook said, it gives a to-hit bonus for all missiles fired at the Narc'd target - no matter what launcher fires.

NARCs can work well if you're going for the "Missile Boat" style of combat, such as fielding Catapults or Archers. (Note, really good for Archers with their 'Missilery Suite'.)
