👉 Automatic missiles, also known as guided missiles or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in some contexts, are advanced weapon systems that can independently navigate and target their intended destinations without human intervention. They typically consist of a guidance system, a payload (such as a warhead), and a delivery platform. The guidance system uses various technologies, including inertial navigation, radar, GPS, and sometimes visual or electronic sensors, to accurately determine the missile's trajectory and adjust its course mid-flight. This capability allows for precise targeting, increased range, and reduced risk to human operators, making automatic missiles a critical component of modern military arsenals.
