long-range and jet-propelled winged bomb that is guided by remote control
A cruise missile is a
guided missile which uses a lifting wing and most often a
jet propulsion system to allow sustained flight. A cruise missile is, in essence, a
flying bomb. They are generally designed to carry a large conventional or
nuclear warhead many hundreds of miles with excellent accuracy. Modern cruise missiles normally travel at
supersonic or at high
subsonic speeds, are self-navigating, and fly in a non-ballistic very low altitude trajectory in order to avoid
radar detection. In general (and for the purposes of this article), cruise missiles are differentiated from
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in that the weapon is integrated into the vehicle, and the vehicle is intended to be sacrificed in the mission.
