👉 Adjustment missiles, also known as reentry vehicles (REVs), are a type of missile designed to return to Earth's atmosphere and land safely, typically for reconnaissance purposes. Unlike traditional ballistic missiles that follow a predetermined trajectory, adjustment missiles use onboard systems to adjust their flight path midcourse, allowing them to target specific locations. This is achieved through small thrusters or other propulsion mechanisms that enable the missile to correct its course based on real-time data, such as GPS or inertial navigation, ensuring a precise landing. These missiles are crucial for intelligence gathering, as they can fly over hostile territories without being detected by enemy radar systems, providing valuable information to military and intelligence agencies.
