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.

A guidance method where a missile uses radar reflections from an external illuminator, typically a ground or airborne radar, to track and intercept a target.

A two-stage ATGM propulsion system where a booster stage initially accelerates the missile before a sustainer stage maintains flight velocity.
