ballistic missile A ballistic missile is a type of missile that uses projectile motion to deliver warheads on a target. These weapons are guided only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered. Short-range ballistic missiles stay within the ...

warhead A warhead is the forward section of a device that contains the explosive agent or toxic (biological, chemical, or nuclear) material that is delivered by a missile, rocket, torpedo, or bomb. Classification Types of warheads include: * Expl ...

s, AES and ADC, passing through the observation zone; classification of accompanied targets according to the signs of “BR”, “AES” (artificial earth satellites), “ADC” (aerodynamic targets). These are detection, tracking, determination of radiation characteristics, parameters of the trajectory and areas of incidence of active interference sources emitting in the working radar range of the Vitim radar, as well as the formation of typical messages and giving the consumer information about detected and accompanied targets and sources of interference.
