Designation for an ICBM equipped with a canister launcher, enabling rapid deployment and reduced exposure during launch.

A missile launch method where the missile is ejected from its launch tube by gas pressure before the rocket motor ignites, typically used in submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

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.

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

Designation for intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) deployed and launched from submerged submarines.

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.
