Guidance system using onboard radar to actively emit and receive signals for target tracking and missile course correction.
The initial propulsion phase where a high-thrust motor accelerates the missile to operational velocity.
Launched from naval platforms, such as ships or submarines.
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.
