👉 Coordinator missiles, also known as ground-launched cruise missiles (GLCM) or surface-to-air missile (SAM) launchers, are advanced weapon systems designed to engage and destroy enemy ground targets, particularly surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). These missiles are typically launched from mobile platforms like tanks, ships, or land-based vehicles, offering a flexible and mobile platform for missile defense. They operate by following a predetermined trajectory to intercept and neutralize incoming SAMs, utilizing advanced guidance systems that can adjust their course mid-flight to counteract the maneuverability of SAMs. This makes them a critical component in modern air defense strategies, enhancing the survivability of ground forces by mitigating the threat posed by SAMs.
