2. Introduction
 A Weapon delivery system is a type of process which includes the ability to launch the weapon
from the origin to get the maximum outcome.
 Weapon delivery includes bombing, air-to-air, and air-to-ground (or surface) gunnery(heavy
guns), and it has also improved both survivability and delivery accuracy. It’ all about the strategy.
 It’s Depends upon the accuracy of delivery system. Based on specific purposes different types can
be defined.
 India has developed and tested nuclear weapons that could be delivered on the Prithvi and Agni
missiles.

3. Nuclear weapon
 A nuclear weapon (atomic bomb) is an explosive device that derives its destructive force
from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or from a combination of fission
and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb). Both bomb types release large quantities of energy
from relatively small amounts of matter.
 An atomic bomb uses either uranium or plutonium and relies on fission, a nuclear reaction in
which a nucleus of an atom breaks apart into two pieces. The hydrogen bomb relies on fusion,
taking two separate atoms and putting them together to form a third atom.

4. Nuclear weapons delivery
 Nuclear weapons delivery is the technology and systems used to place a nuclear weapon at
the position of detonation, on or near its target.
 Strategic nuclear weapons are used primarily as part of a deterrence doctrine by
threatening large targets, such as cities.
 Weapons meant for use in limited military maneuvers, such as destroying specific military,
communications, or infrastructure targets, are known as tactical nuclear weapons.
 In terms of explosive yields, the former has a much larger yield nowadays than the latter,
even though it is not a rule. The bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945
(with TNT equivalents between 15 and 22 kilotons) were weaker than many of today's
tactical weapons, yet they achieved the desired effect when used strategically.

5. Nuclear triad
 A nuclear triad refers to a strategic nuclear arsenal which consists of three components,
traditionally strategic bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and submarine-
launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs).
 The purpose of having a three-branched nuclear capability is to significantly reduce the
possibility that an enemy could destroy all a nation's nuclear forces in a first-strike attack;
this, in turn, ensures a credible threat of a second strike, and thus increases a
nation's nuclear deterrence.

7. Main delivery mechanisms

8. Gravity bomb
 Historically, the first method of delivery, and the method used in the only two nuclear
weapons used in warfare, was a gravity bomb dropped by a plane.
 Gravity bombs are designed to be dropped from planes, which requires that the weapon be
able to withstand vibrations and changes in air temperature and pressure during a flight.
 Early weapons often had a removable core for safety, known as in-flight insertion (IFI) cores,
inserted or assembled by the aircrew during flight. They had to meet safety conditions to
prevent accidental detonation or dropping. A variety of types also had to have a fuse to
initiate detonation.
 Various air-dropping techniques exist, including toss bombing, parachute-retarded delivery,
and laydown modes, intended to give the dropping aircraft time to escape the ensuing
blast.

16. Ballistic missile
 a missile with a high arching trajectory, which is initially powered and guided but falls under
gravity on to its target. Ballistic missiles can carry conventional high explosives as well as
chemical, biological, or nuclear munitions.
 Missiles using a ballistic trajectory usually deliver a warhead over the horizon, at distances of
thousands of kilometers, as in the case of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and
submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). Most ballistic missiles exit the Earth's
atmosphere and re-enter it in their sub-orbital spaceflight.

17. Intercontinental ballistic missile
 An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is a missile with a minimum range of 5,500
kilometers primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery (delivering one or
more thermonuclear warheads).
 Most modern designs support multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs),
allowing a single missile to carry several warheads, each of which can strike a different
target.

18. submarine-launched ballistic missiles
 A submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) is a ballistic missile capable of being launched
from submarines. Modern variants usually deliver multiple independently targetable reentry
vehicles (MIRVs) each of which carries a nuclear warhead and allows a single launched
missile to strike several targets.
 Modern submarine-launched ballistic missiles are closely related to intercontinental ballistic
missiles, with ranges of over 5,500 kilometers.

19. Ballistic missile
 An ICBM is more than 20 times as fast as a bomber and more than 10 times as fast as
a fighter plane, and flying at a much higher altitude, and therefore more difficult to
defend against. ICBMs can also be fired quickly in the event of a surprise attack.
 Early ballistic missiles carried a single warhead, often of megaton-range yield.
Because of the limited accuracy of the missiles, this kind of high yield was considered
necessary in order to ensure a particular target's destruction. Since the 1970s
modern ballistic weapons have seen the development of far more accurate targeting
technologies, mainly due to improvements in inertial guidance systems, this set the
stage for smaller warheads in the hundreds-of-kilotons-range yield, and consequently
for ICBMs having multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV).
 Advances in technology have enabled a single missile to launch a payload containing
several warheads. The number of independent warheads capable of deployment
from ballistic missiles depends on the weapons platform the missile is launched from.
For example, one D5 Trident missile carried by an Ohio-class submarine can launch
eight independent warheads.

20. Cruise missiles
 A cruise missile is a guided missile used against terrestrial targets, that remains in the
atmosphere and flies the major portion of its flight path at approximately constant
speed.
 Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large warhead over long distances with high
precision. Modern cruise missiles can travel at supersonic or high subsonic speeds, are
self-navigating, and are able to fly on a non-ballistic, extremely low-altitude trajectory.

21. Multiple independently targetable reentry
vehicles (MIRVs)
 A multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) is a missile payload containing
several warheads, each capable of being aimed to hit a different target.
 The concept is almost invariably associated with intercontinental ballistic
missiles carrying thermonuclear warheads, even if not strictly being limited to them.
 By contrast, a unitary warhead is a single warhead on a single missile. An intermediate case is
the multiple reentry vehicle (MRV) missile which carries several warheads which are dispersed
but not individually aimed. Only China, Pakistan, Russia, United Kingdom, United
States and France are currently confirmed to possess functional MIRV missile systems

vehicles (MIRVs)

23. Cruise missiles
 A cruise missile is a jet engine or rocket-propelled missile that flies at low altitude using
an automated guidance system (usually inertial navigation, sometimes supplemented by
either GPS or mid-course updates from friendly forces) to make them harder to detect or
intercept. Cruise missiles can carry a nuclear warhead. They have a shorter range and
smaller payloads than ballistic missiles, so their warheads are smaller and less powerful.
 Cruise missiles may also be launched from mobile launchers on the ground, and from
naval ships.
 Cruise missiles, even with their lower payload, have several advantages over ballistic
missiles for the purposes of delivering nuclear strikes:
1. Launch of a cruise missile is difficult to detect early from satellites and other long-range
means, contributing to a surprise factor of attack.
2. That, coupled with the ability to actively maneuver in flight, allows for penetration of
strategic anti-missile systems aimed at intercepting ballistic missiles on calculated
trajectory of flight.

24. Nuclear artillery
 Nuclear artillery is a subset of limited-yield tactical nuclear weapons, in particular those
weapons that are launched from the ground at battlefield targets. Nuclear artillery is
commonly associated with shells delivered by a cannon, but in a technical sense short-
range artillery rockets or tactical ballistic missiles are also included.

26. Land mine
 A land mine is an explosive device concealed under or on the ground and designed to
destroy or disable enemy targets, ranging from combatants to vehicles and tanks, as they
pass over or near it. Such a device is typically detonated automatically by way of
pressure when a target steps on it or drives over it, although other detonation
mechanisms are also sometimes used. A land mine may cause damage by direct blast
effect, by fragments that are thrown by the blast, or by both.

27. Nuclear depth bomb
 A nuclear depth bomb is the nuclear equivalent of the conventional depth charge and can
be used in anti-submarine warfare for attacking submerged submarines.
 Due to the use of a nuclear warhead of much greater explosive power than that of
the conventional depth charge, the nuclear depth bomb considerably increases the point
of near certainty of the destruction of the attacked submarine, Because of this much
greater power some nuclear depth bombs feature a variable yield, whereby the explosive
energy of the device may be varied between a low setting for use in shallow or coastal
waters, and a high yield for deep water open-sea use. This is intended to minimize
damage to peripheral areas and merchant shipping.

28. Nuclear torpedo
 A cigar-shaped self-propelled underwater missile designed to be fired from a ship or
submarine or dropped into the water from an aircraft and to explode on reaching a
target.
 The idea behind the nuclear warheads in a torpedo was to create a much bigger and
more explosive blast. Later analysis suggested that smaller, more accurate, and faster
torpedoes were more efficient and effective.

29. Atomic Bazooka
 The M-28 or M-29 Davy Crockett Weapon System was the tactical nuclear recoilless
gun (smoothbore) for firing the M-388 nuclear projectile that was deployed by the United
States during the Cold War. It was one of the smallest nuclear weapon systems ever built,
with a yield between 10- and 20-tons TNT equivalent (40–80 gigajoules).
