Within three years of the first launch, over three thousand ballistic missiles were created and fired. The first kind of missile, using metal tubes and explosive powder, was created in the 18th Century, by Tippu Sultan.
As a ballistic missile is one that is only powered on the upward portion of its flight and relies on a sub-orbital arc to then reach its target, it logically follows that a non-ballistic missile is one that is powered throughout its flight: An example of a non-ballistic missile would be the cruise missile which travels horizontally, hugging the terrain, until reaching its target. Both types can be armed with a variety of weapons. This is why, when talking about guns, you hear the term ballistic, as the bullet is only powered for a short time (while traveling through the barrel of the gun) and continues un-powered to its target. A bullet is a ballistic "missile" (of sorts). -gm A non ballistic missile is an area where missiles are fired at the enemy. If it is a non ballistic missle, it means that it can harm no one. - jg
