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.

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.

Silo-based: a launch configuration in which an intercontinental ballistic missile is stored and launched from a hardened underground silo.

Propellant consisting of a solid mixture of fuel and oxidizer, enabling long-term storage and immediate launch readiness.
