• stationary or folding fins
• may be deployed: air to surface, surface to air, surface to surface
• can be guided by: infrared, radar, TV, radio and wire
• may use internal terrain following and GPS

Question 2

What are the guided missile fuses?

Answer 2

• variable time (VT)/impact (long and skinny)

- PIBD (short and fat)

Question 3

What are the guided missile safeties?

Answer 3

Projected->guided missile->
VT/impact-HE, frag, move, EMR, static, eject, VT, PE/lucky, jet, 3hr WT (guided missile 10)
PIBD-HE, frag, move, EMR, static, eject, VT, PE/lucky, jet, 3hr WT (guided missile 10)
