📖 TERMS ON THIS PAGE9terms
Capability of launching an anti-tank guided missile from an airborne platform, such as a helicopter or aircraft.
The initial propulsion phase where a high-thrust motor accelerates the missile to operational velocity.
Launched from a ground-based platform, such as a vehicle or tripod, rather than an aircraft or other airborne system.
Characterized by a flight speed exceeding Mach 5, or approximately 6,150 km/h (3,800 mph) or higher.
Guidance system combining inertial navigation (self-contained motion tracking) with GPS (satellite-based positioning) for precise trajectory correction in ballistic missiles.
Launched from naval platforms, such as ships or submarines.
Relating to or using nuclear energy, typically fission, for propulsion or power generation in military vessels.
Sea‑skimming is a low‑altitude flight profile in which a missile or projectile flies close to the sea surface to minimize radar detection and increase survivability.
A two-stage ATGM propulsion system where a booster stage initially accelerates the missile before a sustainer stage maintains flight velocity.
