👉 Beam missiles are a type of guided missile that use a laser or other forms of light to track and lock onto their target, unlike traditional radar-guided missiles that rely on radio signals. These missiles are typically launched from surface vessels, aircraft, or land-based platforms and are designed for precision strikes over long distances, often exceeding 200 kilometers. The laser or light-based guidance system allows for highly accurate targeting, making beam missiles effective against high-value targets such as military installations, command centers, and strategic infrastructure. Their ability to operate in various environments and their stealthy nature, due to smaller size and lower radar cross-section, make them a versatile and potent component of modern naval and air defense systems.
