A winged missile, designed for a guided flight at low altitudes, as opposed to a ballistic missile
A guided missile, the major portion of whose flight path to its target is conducted at approximately constant velocity; that depends on the dynamic reaction of air for lift and upon propulsion forces to balance drag [71]
A cruise missile is a missile which carries a nuclear warhead and which is guided by a computer. A guided missile that is launched from a ship or aircraft and serves as a self-contained precision bomb. a large explosive weapon that flies close to the ground and can be aimed at something hundreds of kilometres away. Type of low-flying strategic guided missile developed by the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the 1960s and '70s. The V-1 missile was a precursor. Powered by jet engines, cruise missiles may carry either a nuclear or a conventional warhead. They are designed to hug the ground, which makes them hard to detect by radar. They are launched from ships, submarines, airplanes, and the ground
a guided missile that flies to its target close to the earth's surface They can be launched from aircraft, ships, submarines or land sites
An unmanned self-propelled guided vehicle that sustains flight through aerodynamic lift for most of its flight path A cruise missile may deliver a conventional or nuclear warhead
