Group

Cruise Missiles

This group collects the Missiles And Guided Munitions subcategory's cruise missiles: air-launched, ground-launched and sea-launched powered missiles that fly a sustained, largely level guided trajectory to their target, including nuclear-armed and conventionally armed variants, supersonic and subsonic designs, and low-cost and decoy cruise missile programs. Its 41 members are distinguished from the subcategory's ballistic missiles by their powered, guided flight throughout, rather than a largely unpowered post-boost trajectory, though a cruise missile whose primary stated role is anti-ship is classified instead under the sibling Anti-Ship and Anti-Submarine Missiles group.
