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

Able to deliver conventional warheads via ICBM.

Guidance system combining inertial navigation (self-contained motion tracking) with GPS (satellite-based positioning) for precise trajectory correction in ballistic missiles.

A Maneuverable Re-Entry Vehicle (MaRV) is a re-entry vehicle used in ICBMs that can adjust its trajectory during atmospheric re-entry to enhance accuracy and survivability.

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

Countermeasures deployed by ballistic missiles to evade interception, including decoys, chaff, or other systems to confuse missile defense radars.

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.
