List of cruise missiles by type
Cruise missiles can be categorized by payload/warhead size, speed, range, and launch platform. Often variants of the same missile are produced for different launch platforms (for instance, air- and submarine-launched versions). Guidance systems vary across missiles. Cruise missiles can be fitted with any of a variety of navigation systems (inertial navigation, TERCOM, or satellite navigation). Larger cruise missiles can carry either a conventional or a Nuclear warhead, while smaller ones carry only conventional warheads.
