Abstract:

A missile is a self-propelled precision-guided munition system, as opposed to an unguided self- propelled munition, referred to as a rocket. Missiles have four system components: targeting and/or missile guidance, flight system, engine, and warhead. Missilescomeintypesadaptedfordifferentpurposes: surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missiles, surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, and anti- satellite weapons. All known existing missiles are designed to be propelled during powered flight by chemical reactions inside the engine. Missiles are sturdy, well-constructed machines. But, because of their size, weight, and bulk, they are not that easy to handle nor are missiles indestructible. Most missile damage is, unfortunately, a result of carelessness and poor handling practices. To reduce the possibility of damage, missiles are shipped, stored and handled with special equipments. Approved containers, canisters, and handling equipments provide maximum missile safety with mi
