The word missile comes from the Latin
verb mittere, literally meaning "to
send".
Missiles are often used in warfare as a
means of delivering destructive force
(usually in the form of an explosive
warhead) upon a target.

3. Rockets were invented in medieval China
(1044 AD) but its first practical use for
serious purpose took place in 1232 AD by
the Chinese against the Mongols.
 There after Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan.
At the Battle of Seringapatanam in 1792.
HISTORY OF MISSILES

4. •Unlike contemporary rockets
whose combustion chamber was
made of wood (bamboo).
• Tipu's rockets (weighing
between 2.2 to 5.5 kg) used iron
cylinder casings.
• The British were greatly
impressed by the Mysorean
rockets using iron tubes.

5.  After regaining independence in
1947, India focused on space
technology
 Indian rocketry was reborn,
thanks to the farsighted
technological vision of Prime
Minister Pundit Jawaharlal
Nehru.
 Professor Vikram Sarabhai took
the challenge of realizing this
dream.
MISSILES IN MODERN INDIA

6. Guided missiles are made up of a series of subassemblies. The
major sections are carefully joined and connected to each other.
They form the complete missile assembly.
The major components of a missile are:
 WARHEAD
 FUSING
 GUIDANCE SYSTEM
 PROPULSIONSYSTEM

7. WARHEAD
A warhead is an explosive device used in
military conflicts, used to destroy enemy
vehicles or buildings.
Types of warhead
Explosive
Chemical
Biological
Nuclear

8. FUSING
It includes those devices and arrangements
that cause the missile's payload to function
in proper relation to the target.
Methods of fusing
Radio frequency sensing
Optical sensing
Magnetic sensing

Missiles may be targeted in a
number of ways. The most
common method is to use
some form of radiation .
There are two types of
guidance system.
GUIDANCE SYSTEM

GPS was designed by the US military. GPS
transmits 2 signal types: military and a
commercial.

11.  Propulsion is the means of providing power to accelerate the
missile body and sustain, if necessary, to reach the required
target.
 The propulsion of a missile is achieved with the help of a rocket
engine. It produces thrust by ejecting very hot gaseous matter,
called propellant.
PROPELLANT= FUEL + OXIDIZER , WHICH PRODUCES “THRUST”
 The propellant is exhausted through a nozzle at a high speed. This
exhaust causes the rocket to move in the opposite direction (Newton's
third law).

12. TYPES OF MISSILES ON THE BASIS OF MODE OF FIRE
An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the
purpose of destroying another aircraft.

13. An air-to-surface missile (ASM) or air-to-ground
missile (AGM or ATGM) is a missile designed to be launched
from military aircraft and strike ground targets on land, at sea, or
both.

14. An anti-ballistic missile (ABM) is
a missile designed to counter ballistic missiles. T
However, the term is used more commonly for
systems designed to counter intercontinental
ballistic missiles (ICBM).s

designed to incapacitate or
destroy satellites for strategic military
purposes.

17. Anti-ship missiles are guided missiles that
are designed for use against ships and large
boats.

18. An anti-submarine missile is a standoff weapon including
a rocket designed to rapidly deliver an explosive warhead or
homing torpedo from the launch platform to the vicinity of
a submarine.

19. An anti-tank missile (ATM), anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), anti-
tank guided weapon (ATGW) or anti-armor guided weapon, is
a guided missile primarily designed to hit and destroy heavily-
armored military vehicles.

20. A land-attack missile is a naval surface-to-surface missile that is
capable of effectively attacking targets ashore, unlike
specialized anti-ship missiles, which are optimized for striking other
ships.

21. A surface-to-air missile (SAM), or ground-
to-air missile (GTAM), is a missile designed
to be launched from the ground to
destroy aircraft or other missiles.

missile (GGM) is a missile designed to be launched from the ground
or the sea and strike targets on land or at sea.

23. A wire-guided missile is a missile that is guided by signals sent to it
via thin wires connected between the missile and its guidance
mechanism, which is located somewhere near the launch site.

24. A ballistic missile is a missile that follows
a ballistic flight path with the objective of
delivering one or more warheads to a
predetermined target.

25. A cruise missile is a guided missile, the major portion of whose
flight path to its target is conducted at approximately constant
velocity; that relies on the dynamic reaction of air for lift, and upon
propulsion forces to balance drag.
