missile technology
Weapons delivery systems
Missile technology refers to the engineering and scientific knowledge required to design, build, and deploy guided projectiles—particularly ballistic missiles and cruise missiles capable of carrying conventional or nuclear warheads.
The term appears frequently in discussions of arms control and nonproliferation: the Missile Technology Control Regime, concerns about missile technology transfers to rogue states.
Countries guard missile technology closely, as it represents both military capability and geopolitical leverage.
