📖 TERMS ON THIS PAGE9terms
Guidance system using onboard radar to actively emit and receive signals for target tracking and missile course correction.
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.
Fire-and-forget refers to a missile guidance system where the missile guides itself to its target after launch, requiring no further input from the operator.
Characterized by a flight speed exceeding Mach 5, or approximately 6,150 km/h (3,800 mph) or higher.
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.
Relating to or using nuclear energy, typically fission, for propulsion or power generation in military vessels.
A proximity fuze is a detonation mechanism in ATGMs that triggers when the missile approaches within a set distance of a target, using sensors like radar or laser to detect proximity.
Enables real-time sharing of position, targeting, and sensor data among aircraft and platforms for coordinated combat operations.
