Surface - to - surface missile A surface - to - surface missile ( SSM ) or ground - to - ground missile ( GGM ) is a missile designed to be launched from the ground or the sea and strike targets on land or at sea . They may be fired from hand - held or vehicle mounted devices , from fixed installations , or from a ship . They are often powered by a rocket motor or sometimes fired by an explosive charge , since the launching platform is typically stationary or moving slowly . They usually have fins and / or wings for lift and stability , although hyper - velocity or short - ranged missiles may utilise body lift or fly a ballistic trajectory . The V - 1 flying bomb was the first operational surface - to - surface missile . Contemporary surface - to - surface missiles are usually guided . An unguided surface - to - surface missile is usually referred to as a rocket ( for example , an RPG - 7 or M72 LAW is an anti - tank rocket whereas a BGM - 71 TOW or AT - 2 Swatter is an anti - tank guided missile ) . Types . Surface - to - surface missiles are usually broken down into a number of categories : Different parties break down missile type by the range differently . For example , the United States Department of Defense has no definition for LRBM , and thus defines an ICBM as those missiles with ranges greater than 5 , 500 km ( 3500 mi ) . The International Institute for Strategic Studies also does not define a range for LRBMs , and defines SRBMs as having somewhat shorter ranges than the definition of the Department of Defense .
Uesugi Harunori He was brought at age 16 to the Yonezawa area from a small fief in southern Kyshū as an adopted son of the Uesugi clan . Today , he is best remembered for his financial reforms , and he is often cited as an example of a good governor of a domain . Yonezawa had been in debt for roughly a hundred years when Harunori took over ; Shigesada even considered returning the domain to the shogun ate as a last resort . However , he was convinced by his father - in - law , the daimyo of Owari province , to instead resign as daimyo . It was under these conditions that Harunori came to be daimyo of Yonezawa . He introduced strict disciplinary measures , and ordered the execution of several " karō " ( advisors ) who opposed his plans . As a result of various measures he took , Yonezawa became fairly prosperous , and did not suffer much from the famine which swept Japan in the Tenmei era ( 1781 - 9 ) . For instance the Uesugis chose to keep all their retainers but cut all salaries to one - sixth of their former level . Yozan also cut his own living expenses , wearing cotton clothes instead of silk and having his meals consist of one bowl of soup and one vegetable . He reduced his living allowance from 1500 ryo per year to 209 ryo and the number of maidservants from 50 to nine . He also set policies encouraging new industry such as weaving , pottery and papermaking and encouraged existing enterprises such as paraffin , raw silk and linen . Education was necessary to create the brilliant men required to enrich the country , and he reopened the clan school which had closed down due to financial constraints and invited scholars from Edo to teach . He also established a medical school to teach the latest medical knowledge from Holland . Another policy change ensured adequate water from the mountains for the rice fields by enlisting retainers and samurai to dig irrigation ditches and to repair dikes . Administrative reform and personnel promotion based on merit , not class , eliminated waste and simplified public offices . When Yozan came to power , the total debt of the fief had reached the level of 200 , 000 ryo ; by 1823 the entire amount of the debt had been repaid . In 1830 , less than a decade after Harunori ' s death , Yonezawa was officially declared by the shogunate to be a paragon of a well - governed domain . He revealed his views on governance and the role of a feudal lord in a letter to his son Haruhiro : Additionally , his views on self - discipline are well known in Japanese culture :
Multifunction Advanced Data Link Multifunction Advanced Data Link ( MADL ) is a future data waveform to provide secure data - linking technology between stealth aircraft . It began as a method to coordinate between F - 35 aircraft ( the Joint Strike Fighter ) , but HQ Air Combat Command wants to expand the capabiltiy to coordinate future USAF strike forces of all AF stealth aircraft , including the B - 2 , F - 22 , and unmanned systems . MADL is expected to provide needed throughput , latency , frequency - hopping and anti - jamming capability with phased Array Antenna Assemblies ( AAAs ) that send and receive tightly directed radio signals . MADL uses the Ku band . The Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition , Technology and Logistics directed the Air Force and Navy to integrate MADL among the F - 22 , F - 35 and B - 2 , to one another and to the rest of network . As of 2010 , the Air Force has canceled upgrade plans for the F - 22 to receive MADL citing technology maturity risks . Critics contend that since Link - 16 is the standard by which U . S . and Allied aircraft communicate , upgrades to Link - 16 radios should be supported that can provide the same capabilities as MADL while maintaining interoperability . MADL ' s line of sight nature and limited range restrict the scenarios where it can be used to connect beyond a four aircraft flight .

BILL 2 Anti - tank guided weapon The BILL 2 Anti - Tank Guided Weapon is a man - portable or vehicle - mounted guided anti - tank missile using the overfly top attack method to attack the weaker parts of an armoured vehicle . The weapon is currently in service with the Swedish Army . System . Design . The BILL 2 was designed upon the original BILL 1 Anti - tank guided weapon that has been in the service of the Swedish Army since 1988 . The BILL 2 is currently produced by Saab Bofors Dynamics , who are located in Karlskoga , Sweden . The BILL 2 comes with one 10 . 5 kg missile , a launching tube , tripod with x7 magnification day sight , and one thermal imaging sight . Operation . The BILL 2 uses OTA or Overfly Top Attack to attack its target . The missile flies towards the target on a standard horizontal trajectory , but rather than directly hitting the target head on , it overflies it , detonating its warhead on top of an armored vehicle , where the armour is usually lighter . It also utilizes additional guidance accuracy via the installed rate gyro , which monitors the tracking movement of the launcher . It is designed primarily to attack armoured or unarmoured vehicles , but can also be used to attack helicopter s or soft ground targets , such as light buildings . The BILL 2 can be mounted onto a variety of vehicles and then fired remotely from inside the vehicle . Firing Modes . The BILL 2 has three firing modes that the launcher ' s operator can select , before launching the missile . Missile . The BILL 2 Missile uses a SACLOS or semi - automatic command to line - of - sight guidance system , and is controlled via a communications wire that trails behind the missile from the launch tube . The BILL 2 warhead has an optical and magnetic sensor . The optical sensor serves to find the target ’ s range , while the magnetic sensor detects metallic targets to determine the best point for the missile to detonate . The BILL 2 contains both a proximity fuse and an inertial impact fuse . The BILL 2 is armed with a pair of vertically striking Explosively formed penetrator warheads , which each direct a self - forging slug of metal downwards at extreme velocities using a high explosive blast . The 40mm frontal " precursor " warhead destroys any reactive armour protecting the target and leaves the 110mm rear warhead to penetrate the armour . Total penetration capabilities are classified , but are known to be at least 550mm in rolled homogeneous armor .
