ballistic missile
ballistic missilen. A projectile that assumes a free-falling trajectory after an internally guided, self-powered ascent.ballistic missile n (Firearms, Gunnery, Ordnance & Artillery) a missile that has no wings or fins and that follows a ballistic trajectory when its propulsive power is discontinued ballis′tic mis′sile
n. a missile that travels to its target unpowered and unguided after being launched. [1950–55] ballistic missileAny missile which does not rely upon aerodynamic surfaces to produce lift and consequently follows a ballistic trajectory when thrust is terminated. See also aerodynamic missile; guided missile.Thesaurus| Noun | 1. |  ballistic missile - a missile that is guided in the first part of its flight but falls freely as it approaches targetICBM, intercontinental ballistic missile - a ballistic missile that is capable of traveling from one continent to anothermissile - a rocket carrying a warhead of conventional or nuclear explosives; may be ballistic or directed by remote control |
Translationsballistic missile (bəˈlistik ˈmisail) a missile guided for part of its course but falling like an ordinary bomb. 彈道飛彈 弹道导弹ballistic missile
ballistic missile: see guided missileguided missile,
self-propelled, unmanned space or air vehicle carrying an explosive warhead. Its path can be adjusted during flight, either by automatic self-contained controls or remote human control. Guided missiles are powered either by rocket engines or by jet propulsion.

A ballistic missile, in contrast to a winged missile, does not have support surfaces intended to create aerodynamic lift during flight in the atmosphere. In some cases ballistic missiles are supplied with stabilizers to ensure aerodynamic stability in flight. Ballistic missiles consist of military missiles of various types (including intercontinental), carrier rockets, and space rockets. ballistic missile[bə′lis·tik ′mis·əl] (ordnance) A missile capable of guiding and propelling itself in a direction and to a velocity such that it will follow a ballistic trajectory to a desired point. ballistic missileAny missile that does not rely upon aerodynamic surfaces to produce lift and, consequently, follows a ballistic trajectory when thrust is terminated. It is initially guided during the upward portion of its flight but drops under the force of gravity, following a trajectory similar to that of an artillery shell.AcronymsSeeBMballistic missile
