👉 Artificial missiles, also known as unmanned or remotely piloted missiles (UPMs), are advanced weapon systems designed and operated without direct human intervention during their flight phase. These missiles use sophisticated guidance systems, often incorporating technologies like GPS, infrared sensors, and radar, to autonomously navigate from launch to target. They can be launched from various platforms, including ships, aircraft, and even ground-based systems, offering strategic flexibility and reducing the risk to human operators. Artificial missiles are typically categorized into different types based on their range, payload, and mission profile, ranging from short-range precision-guided munitions to long-range cruise missiles. Their development and deployment have significantly altered modern warfare by enhancing precision, reducing collateral damage, and providing tactical advantages in both conventional and asymmetric conflicts.
