📖 TERMS ON THIS PAGE7terms
Able to deliver conventional warheads via ICBM.
Guidance system combining inertial navigation (self-contained motion tracking) with GPS (satellite-based positioning) for precise trajectory correction in ballistic missiles.
Relating to or using nuclear energy, typically fission, for propulsion or power generation in military vessels.
Capable of being transported and launched from rail platforms.
Road-mobile: a deployment mode for ICBMs where the missile is mounted on a wheeled or tracked transporter‑erector‑launcher that can travel on public roads, enabling movement and concealment.
Propellant consisting of a solid mixture of fuel and oxidizer, enabling long-term storage and immediate launch readiness.
Terminal guidance is the final phase of a missile’s flight in which onboard sensors (e.g., radar, infrared) actively steer the weapon to its target.
