📖 TERMS ON THIS PAGE8terms
Capability of launching an anti-tank guided missile from an airborne platform, such as a helicopter or aircraft.
Fire-and-forget refers to a missile guidance system where the missile guides itself to its target after launch, requiring no further input from the operator.
A guidance system in ATGMs that uses infrared sensors to create a thermal image of the target for precise homing.
Guidance system combining inertial navigation (self-contained motion tracking) with GPS (satellite-based positioning) for precise trajectory correction in ballistic missiles.
A guidance method that uses inertial navigation sensors together with satellite‑based GPS signals to determine a missile’s position and steer it toward a target.
Launched from naval platforms, such as ships or submarines.
Sea‑skimming is a low‑altitude flight profile in which a missile or projectile flies close to the sea surface to minimize radar detection and increase survivability.
Enables real-time sharing of position, targeting, and sensor data among aircraft and platforms for coordinated combat operations.
