HISTORY AND ORIGIN
The first missiles to be used operationally were a series of missiles
developed by Nazi Germany in World War II.

Most famous of these are the V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rocket,
both of which used a simple mechanical autopilot to keep the
missile flying along a pre-chosen route.

Less well known were a series of anti-shipping and anti-aircraft

missiles, typically based on a simple radio control (command
guidance) system directed by the operator.

Kinds of Missiles
ANTI BALLISTIC MISSILE
An anti-ballistic missile (ABM) is a surface-to-air missile designed to counter ballistic missiles.
AIR TO AIR MISSILE
An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of destroying
another aircraft.
AAMs are typically powered by one or more rocket motors, usually solid fueled
AIR TO SURFACE MISSILE
An air-to-surface missile (ASM) or air-to-ground missile (AGM or ATGM) is a missile designed
to be launched from military aircraft at targets on land or sea.
Guidance for air-to-surface missiles is typically via laser guidance, infrared guidance, optical
guidance or via satellite guidance signals.
WHAT IS A MISSILE?
A missile is a self-propelled precision-guided munition
system, as opposed to an unguided self-propelled
munition, referred to as a rocket .
Missiles are composed of a:
FLIGHT SYSTEM
ENGINE
WARHEAD
GUIDANCE SYSTEM
TARGETING SYSTEM
FLIGHT SYSTEM
Whether a guided missile uses a targeting system, a guidance system or both, it needs a flight
system. The flight system uses the data from the targeting or guidance system to maneuver the
missile in flight, allowing it to counter inaccuracies in the missile or to follow a moving target.

two main systems:

vectored thrust
aerodynamic maneuvering
ENGINE
Jet engines are generally used in cruised missiles, most commonly
of the turbo jet type, due to its relative simplicity and low frontal
area.
Missiles often have multiple engine stages, particularly in those
launched from the surface. These stages may all be of similar
types or may include a mix of engine types-for example, surface-
launched cruise missiles often have a rocket booster for launching
and a jet engine for sustained flight.

Some missiles may have additional propulsion from another

source at launch; for example, the V1 was launched by a catapult,
and the MGM-51 Shillelagh was fired out of a tank gun.
WARHEAD
Warheads are most
commonly of the high
explosive type, often
employing shaped changes
to exploit the accuracy of a
guided weapon to destroy
hardened targets.
Other warhead types
Missiles generally have one or more explosive include nuclear weapons,

also be used. radiological weapons or

board).
Guidance System - HOMING
- The guidance computers are in the missile and in the
target tracker.

Guidance System CONTROL GUIDANCE
Control guidance missiles are those that are guided on the basis of direct
electromagnetic radiation contact with friendly control points.
Control guidance generally depends on the use of radar (radar control) or
radio (radio control) links between a control point and the missile.
