Abstract

Modern long-range, land-attack cruise missiles have been in development for almost two decades and deployed for almost one. They are weapons, like the U.S. TOMAHAWK-class sea-launched cruise missiles (SLCMs) and the Soviet AS-15 air-launched cruise missiles (ALCMs), that have emerged from technologies for smaller engines, warheads, and guidance systems. Their small sizes contribute to their survivability, for they are largely invisible to many air defense radars.KeywordsNuclear WeaponBallistic MissileSurface ShipVerification MeasureCruise MissileThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
