AGM-86 ALCM

The AGM-86 ALCM is an American subsonic air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) built by Boeing and operated by the United States Air Force. ASALM and AGM-86 ALCM are Cold War air-to-surface missiles of the United States.

See ASALM and AGM-86 ALCM

Air-launched cruise missile

An air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) is a cruise missile that is launched from a military aircraft.

See ASALM and Air-launched cruise missile

Air-to-air missile

Python family of AAM for comparisons, Python-5 (displayed lower-front) and Shafrir-1 (upper-back) An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft (including unmanned aircraft such as cruise missiles).

See ASALM and Air-to-air missile

Air-to-surface missile

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

See ASALM and Air-to-surface missile

Airborne early warning and control

An airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system is an airborne radar early warning system designed to detect aircraft, ships, vehicles, missiles and other incoming projectiles at long ranges, as well as performing command and control of the battlespace in aerial engagements by informing and directing friendly fighter and attack aircraft.

See ASALM and Airborne early warning and control

AQM-127 SLAT

The AQM-127 Supersonic Low-Altitude Target (SLAT) was a target drone developed during the 1980s by Martin Marietta for use by the United States Navy. ASALM and AQM-127 SLAT are Abandoned military rocket and missile projects of the United States.

Inertial navigation system

An inertial navigation system (INS; also inertial guidance system, inertial instrument) is a navigation device that uses motion sensors (accelerometers), rotation sensors (gyroscopes) and a computer to continuously calculate by dead reckoning the position, the orientation, and the velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the need for external references.

See ASALM and Inertial navigation system

Mach number

The Mach number (M or Ma), often only Mach, is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.

See ASALM and Mach number

Marquardt Corporation

Marquardt Corporation was an aeronautical engineering firm started in 1944 as Marquardt Aircraft Company and initially dedicated almost entirely to the development of the ramjet engine.

Payload fairing

A payload fairing is a nose cone used to protect a spacecraft payload against the impact of dynamic pressure and aerodynamic heating during launch through an atmosphere.

See ASALM and Payload fairing

Ramjet

A ramjet is a form of airbreathing jet engine that requires forward motion of the engine to provide air for combustion.

See ASALM and Ramjet
