👉 A missile, or ballistic missile, is a complex system comprising several critical components designed for precision-guided or unguided delivery of payloads, typically weapons. The primary components include the launch vehicle, which provides the necessary propulsion and thrust to propel the missile into space; the guidance system, responsible for accurately directing the missile towards its target using various sensors and navigation technologies; the warhead or payload, which contains the actual weapon or explosive device; the control system, which manages and coordinates the functions of the missile; and the communication module, enabling real-time data exchange between the missile and its ground control station. Together, these components enable missiles to deliver their payloads with high accuracy and efficiency over long distances.
