A guidance system where a missile receives mid-flight course corrections from an external source, such as ground control or satellite.

Able to deliver conventional warheads via ICBM.

Relating to or using nuclear energy, typically fission, for propulsion or power generation in military vessels.

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.
