Launched from a ground-based platform, such as a vehicle or tripod, rather than an aircraft or other airborne system.
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.
