USED TO HIT AND DESTROY HEAVY-ARMOURED VEHICLES

An anti-ballistic missile (ABM) is a missile designed to counter intercontinental ballistic missiles

Anti-satellite weapons (ASATs) are weapons designed to be used against artificial satellites.

NUCLEAR MISSILE

GUIDANCE SYSTEMS

The most common method is to use radiation infrared lasers radio waves

REMOTE OR COMPUTER CONTROL

IN THIS TYPE OF GUIDANCE SYSTEM, WE SIMPLY USE A REMOTE CONTROL TO GIVE THE INSTRUCTION TO THE FINS OF THE MISSILE TO MOVE TOWARD THE TARGET

INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM

EMPLOYS ACCELEROMETERS TO CALCULATE DISTANCE FROM TARGET AND LAUNCH POINT SIMULTANEOUSLY
