Missiles

Missiles are a self-propelled guided weapon system. Missiles have four system components: targeting and/or guidance, flight system, engine, and warhead. Missiles come in types adapted for different purposes: surface-to-surface and air-to-surface (ballistic, cruise, anti-ship, anti-tank), surface-to-air (anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic), air-to-air, and anti-satellite missiles.

You must know how to host infections. If you know someone, and they put a map on with words, not a picture, but words, then you must back out, go to split screen, click create new account, make anything, doesn't matter, and then you go to settings, and on the "Online Profile" option, click "on" then start your match. stay in your match for 10 secs. do not end the match, now you must get an invite from ANYONE online in MW2, or you must join someone, DO NOT END YOUR GAME you will be sucked out, and put into whatever other game. now, as long as you don't turn off your ps3/xbox, and you don't take out the game, you will have this real-time UAV hack.

In the 1200s to 1400s, China has been using unguided missiles in warfare, making them the first to use the self-propelled missile. The missile they used today has (normally) the same amount of power as, an example, AIM-9 Sidewinder.

What is the part of a rocket called that falls off at blastoff?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually nothing deliberately falls off a rocket right at liftoff. However most rockets are attached to the launchpad by metal tie down brackets, when the engines have reached full power explosive bolts separate the rocket from these brackets allowing it to leave the launchpad.

Multistage rockets allow expended boosters and/or stages to fall off, but this does not happen at liftoff, it typically happens several minutes after liftoff.

What is a minuteman missile?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The LGM-30 Minuteman is a US land based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). It is the first solid fuel instant response ballistic missile in the US arsenal, meaning it could be launched instantly at any time (unlike the liquid fueled ballistic missiles already in use when it was originally made that took 30 minutes or longer to fill with liquid fuel and oxidizer before they could be launched). It has three rocket stages and carried nuclear warhead(s).

President Kennedy decided in early 1962 that we would field 1000 Minuteman missiles (an overwhelmingly large force considering that the previous Titan liquid fueled ICBM was only fielded 52 missiles) in clusters of underground silos, due to political pressure based on the incorrect perception that there was a "missile gap" where the USSR was believed to have more ICBMs than we did (Kennedy knew from CIA spy photos they did not but could not reveal this information to refute the "missile gap")

It came in three different versions over time:

  1. 1962 (Minuteman-I) carrying a single W56 thermonuclear warhead having a 1.2 megaton yield
  2. 1965 (Minuteman-II) carrying a single W56 thermonuclear warhead having a 1.2 megaton yield
  3. 1970 (Minuteman-III) carrying three W62 thermonuclear warheads each having a 170 kiloton yield

The first Minuteman-I installation based at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, MT was almost ready at the beginning of the Cuban Missile Crisis and was rushed to completion in case it was necessary to attack the USSR at that time. This frantic rush was found later to have produced so many errors that the entire facility had to be completely redone and it is questionable if it could have even been used had the Cuban Missile Crisis turned the cold war into a hot war.

Later on the Minuteman-III the three W62 warheads were replaced with three W78 warheads each having a 335-350 kiloton yield then with a single W87 warhead having a 300 kiloton yield. The single W87 warhead itself was eventually improved to have a 475 kiloton yield.

What is a stage two rocket?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That's a rocket with two stages- when the first stage (or section) runs out of fuel, it separates from the top half (second stage) and falls away, leaving that second stage to fire up, and drive the rocket higher.
