Able to deliver conventional warheads via ICBM.

A depressed-trajectory refers to a suborbital ICBM flight path with a lower than normal apogee, reducing warning times and allowing for a surprise attack.

Guidance system combining inertial navigation (self-contained motion tracking) with GPS (satellite-based positioning) for precise trajectory correction in ballistic missiles.

A Maneuverable Re-Entry Vehicle (MaRV) is a re-entry vehicle used in ICBMs that can adjust its trajectory during atmospheric re-entry to enhance accuracy and survivability.

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.

Silo-based: a launch configuration in which an intercontinental ballistic missile is stored and launched from a hardened underground silo.

Propellant consisting of a solid mixture of fuel and oxidizer, enabling long-term storage and immediate launch readiness.
