air-to-surface
From plane earthward
Air-to-surface describes weapons, missiles, or attacks launched from an aircraft toward a target on the ground or water.
The term appears in military contexts to classify munitions by their trajectory: The fighter jet carried air-to-surface missiles for the strike mission.
It contrasts with air-to-air (targeting other aircraft) and surface-to-air (ground-launched against aircraft).
