Missiles and missile technology are a major component of the heavy weapon market. Missiles are self-propelled weapons that are guided by an internal system or an external guidance system. They are typically used for long-range strikes and can be used to deliver conventional or nuclear payloads. Missiles are typically divided into two categories: ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Ballistic missiles are powered by rocket engines and travel in a high arc trajectory, while cruise missiles are powered by jet engines and travel in a low, level trajectory. Missiles and missile technology have been used in warfare for centuries, and the heavy weapon market has seen significant advances in recent years. Advances in technology have enabled missiles to become more accurate and have increased their range and payload capacity. This has allowed them to be used in a variety of roles, from precision strikes to area denial. The heavy weapon market is highly competitive, with many companies offering a range of missiles and missile technology. Some of the major players in the market include Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and MBDA. Show Less Read more
