surface-to-surface
Between two planes
Surface-to-surface describes weapons designed to be launched from ground or sea level at targets also on the ground or water: surface-to-surface missiles, surface-to-surface artillery.
The term distinguishes these weapons from surface-to-air or air-to-surface systems.
Military shorthand often uses the format to specify launch origin and target type.
