Missiles are powered by an engine, generally either a type of rocket or jet engine.

Missiles are generally categorized by their launch platform and intended target.

* The Nazi occupation of Poland and the Allied bombing of Peenemünde are depicted in the British feature film Battle of the V-1 ( 1958 ) ( called Missiles From Hell in the United States and some other countries ), which starred the actor Michael Rennie.

There should be 33 Static Titan 1 Strategic Missiles and two ( plus five possible ) Research and Development Missiles to account for ( of these 22 have been positively identified by Serial Number, eight known but need to be identified ) and three are unaccounted for, missing.

* Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles ( ICBM ) are identical to Tactical Nukes but have unlimited range to hit any target on the globe.

They cannot be moved from the city they are built in unlike Tactical Nukes and Cruise Missiles.

Missiles are divided into five primary systems ( moving forward to aft ): 1 ) Seeker 2 ) Guidance 3 ) Warhead 4 ) Rocket Motor 5 ) Control Actuation

Missiles are often cited with their maximum engagement range, which is very misleading.

Missiles are explosives-laden rockets equipped with guidance systems and normally fired in flights.

Missiles and guided bombs generally use similar types of guidance system, the difference between the two being that missiles are powered by an onboard engine, whereas guided bombs rely on the speed and height of the launch aircraft for propulsion.

* Missiles are dropped from an airplane for the first time, when United States Army Lieutenant Paul W. Beck drops sandbags simulating bombs over Los Angeles, California.

Missiles are launched vertically by a Cadiz booster motor and turnover pack, to clear the ship's super-structure and rapidly flipped onto their flight path by thrust vector control.

Missiles are able to differentiate targets, detect groups and prioritize targets automatically using information gathered during flight and types of ships and battle formations pre-programmed in an onboard computer.

In robot mode his attack of choice are his " Screamwinder Missiles " which are strong enough to vaporize most opponents.

Missiles are capable of doing the above as well as setting buildings on fire.

Missiles that use infrared seeking are often referred to as " heat-seekers ", since infrared is just below the visible spectrum of light in frequency and is radiated strongly by hot bodies.

The Ideon's overall performance increases to incredible heights of speed, durability, and power ; even its most basic weapons increase their potency dramatically such as the cinematic " All Missiles " attack where all of the Ideon's now Ide-powered missiles are launched simultaneously at great speeds destroying literally fleets of ships in one attack.

Anti-Tank Guided Missiles ( ATGMs ) are guided to the target by multiple means, such as Semi-Automatic Command to Line of Sight SACLOS and Manual Command to Line of Sight MCLOS.

These Medium range, modular, highly reliable, countermeasures-resistant, 3D, C-band, self-contained, mobile radar systems are extremely capable in detecting areal target with a small RCS ( Radar Cross Section ) like Cruise Missiles and U ( C ) AV's ( Unmanned Aerial ( Combat ) Vehicle's ), even at low attitudes.

Missiles are also more rapid and accurate in many cases than helicopters or aircraft for dropping torpedoes and depth charges, with a typical interval of 1 to 1. 5 minutes from a launch decision to torpedo splashdown.

Test centres are distributed across France to carry out studies in advanced technologies, in aeronautics and missiles ( the flight test centre bases of Istres, Bretigny, Cazaux and Toulouse, Centre of Tests of Launching of Missiles Biscarosse site, island of raising and Gâvres, and the centre of expertise LRBA in Vernon ), electronics, data processing and information system security ( CELAr in Rennes, and CTSN in Toulon ).

Missiles which use infrared seeking are often referred to as " heat-seekers ", since infrared ( IR ) is just below the visible spectrum of light in frequency and is radiated strongly by hot bodies.

Missiles typically have a very high chance of hitting a target in a tail-chase engagement because of the much reduced closure rate.

Missiles typically have a lower chance of hitting a target in a head-on engagement because of the very fast closure rate.

Festival facilities now utilize the very bunkers that were once home to 64 Ground-Launch Cruise Missiles ( GLCM ) ( BGM-109 ), Tactical Nuclear Missiles, under the operational control of the 38th Tactical Missile Wing of the United States Air Force.

The player can fire four types of weapons: Cannon, Phoenix Air Intercept Missiles, Maverick air-to-ground missiles, and Hawk bombs.

The strategic weapons included 1, 490 ICBM warheads, 2, 736 submarine launched ballistic missile warheads, 1, 660 bomber weapons ( strategic B61 and B83 gravity bombs, AGM-86 ALCM, and AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles ), and several hundred spare warheads.

Other kinds of offensive weapons include Pulse Torpedoes, Needle Beams ( which can target a specific system on an enemy ship and disable it ), Submunition Packs, Missiles, Minelayers and " mega-damage " weapons, such as the Nova Cannon and Wave Gun.

Missiles can be destroyed by the player's weapons.

Products: Missiles, hypersonic reentry vehicles, kill vehicles, battle management software, and directed energy weapons

The Sea Fox also has several of its own equippable weapons, including a Machine Gun, homing Torpedoes, Surface-Air Missiles, Force Field Generators, and eventually, Rocket Boosters that allow it to fly as a makeshift aircraft with which to pursue the Battle Kukku Army as they take off into the air.

Missiles are used to destroy ground enemies, while laser-like weapons are used for aerial opponents.

Missiles, on the other hand, could progressively tune their approach while they were flying toward the target, and their proximity fuses meant they only needed to get " close enough ".

On The West Wing, Devane appeared in several scenes with Martin Sheen ; they also appeared together as President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy, respectively, 30 years earlier in The Missiles of October ( 1974 ).

Missiles were normally to be held under cover until a few minutes before launch, whereupon they would be moved to their launch position and the stabilising jacks beneath the lorry placed in position.

McCone's suspicions of the inaccuracy of this assessment proved to be correct, as it was later found out the Soviet Union had followed up its conventional military build up with the installation of MRBMs ( Medium Range Ballistic Missiles ) and IRBMs ( Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles ), sparking off the crisis in October when they were later spotted by CIA's Lockheed U-2 surveillance flights.

The game also has the standard bomb button, which causes Tomahawk Missiles to fly up the screen doing major damage to any enemies they hit.

Stine saw the potential in Carlisle's invention as a safe hobby, and together they formed the first model rocket company, Model Missiles, Inc., in Denver, Colorado.

He offered the Crime Syndicate an escape if they would help him in 1962 to take Cuba's Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles.

The truck-launched versions, and also the Pershing II and SS-20 Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles, were later destroyed under the bilateral INF ( Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces ) treaty with the USSR.

Missiles generally have one or more explosive warheads, although other weapon types may also be used.

* United States of America ( also known as Fleet Ballistic Missiles )

* Missiles deliver warheads, normally explosives, but also things like leaflets.

He was also played by James Olson in the 1974, made for TV film, The Missiles of October.

Martin also designed and manufactured the huge and heavily-armed Titan I and LGM-25C Titan II Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles ( ICBMs ).

McCoy also worked with Nasty Suicide under the moniker " The Suicide Twins " and released the album Silver Missiles And Nightingales ( which was the original working tile for Two Steps from the Move ) in 1986, which also featured a guest appearance by René Berg.

Egypt has also been reported to have deployed Anti-Air Missiles on the Israeli Border, a move which clearly targets Israel, as the Bedouin groups in the Sinai have no aircraft.

The Rolisican government was also going to be the ones to deploy the Frontier Missiles against Godzilla, as opposed to the US forces as it occurred in the International version of Mothra vs. Godzilla ( 1964 ).

Another version dubbed " Giant Saturn Missiles ” is also available in a 20-shot pack, which contains larger sized shells which leave a visible sparkling trail, which also crackles as well as reports.

* GTR-18A, also DGTR-18A and Smokey Sam, an inert training rocket, developed at the U. S. Naval Weapons Center, for simulating Surface to Air Missiles launches

" Morrow also supplied drawings for chapters in Classics Illustrated Special Issue # 159A, Rockets, Jets and Missiles ( Dec. 1960 ), and in 13 World Around Us issues ranging from Prehistoric Animals ( Nov. 1959 ) to Famous Teens ( May 1961 ).

To protect Corneria the player would have to intercept fighters and incoming missiles, called IPBMs ( Inter-Planetary Ballistic Missiles ) in the game, while also dealing with the sources of these attacks: battleships, which will deploy more fighter squadrons, and planetary bases which would fire more missiles towards Corneria.

He can also use Skywarp's Missiles.

* Syria also may pose a threat for Short Range Ballistic Missiles as it acquires equipment from North Korea and Iran.

Missiles can also be fired against surface targets.

The Soviets also have superior defensive capabilities against both ground attacks ( Tesla coil ) and air attacks ( Surface to Air Missiles ), but are at a disadvantage on the sea.

* Mobile Missiles: The report also complained that the NIE did not adequately address the issues surrounding the planned Soviet deployment of the SS-X-16 mobile missile system.
