The product that is a homogeneous fluid solution has different components to perform various functional roles. The product designer has available more design variables to manipulate, and needs to balance their proportions to achieve the desired customer performance and company profit. Let us consider the design of a guided-missile fuel intended for the Tomahawk, which was used prominently in the opening phase of the invasion of Iraq in 2002.

Missile. Any object that is, or designed to be thrown, dropped, projected or propelled, for the purpose of making it strike a target (Ref 40a, p 102). See also Ballistic Missile and Guided Missile... 

Payload. Generally that part of the load which is expandable, deliverable, or ready for use in direct accomplishment of the mission. In a projectile the explosive or other filler. In a guided missile or rocket, the warhead compartment and that which is carried in it (Ref 40a, p 108-L)... 

Projectile. A missile for use in any type of gun. In a general sense the term is sometimes applied to rockets and guided missiles, although they may not fall within the stated definition. The term projectile is preferred over "shell" "shot", and the like, in official nomenclature (Ref 40a, p 113). Principal parts of projectiles and their types are described in Section 4, Part B of this Vol)... 

Rocket. An unmanned self-propelled vehicle, with or without warhead, designed to travel above the surface of the earth and whose trajectory or course, while in flight, cannot be controlled. Excludes Guided Missiles and other vehicles whose trajectory or course, while in flight, can be controlled remotely (Ref 40a, p 122)... 

Warhead. That portion of a rocket, guided missile or torpedo designated to contain the load which the vehicle is to deliver. The load may consist of HE s, atomic bomb, chemicals, instruments or inert materials, as well as booster, fuze(s), adaption kits, and/or burster. Excludes items which contain atomic weapon components (Ref 40a, p 143)... 

As this is a comparatively new subject and many US items are classified, we are not describing them now, but expect to describe guided missiles and rockets in one of the future volumes... 

Due to the fact that some US guided missiles and rockets developed after WWII, are modifications and improvements of missiles and rockets developed in Germany before and during WWII, there follows a list of such missiles, as described in PATR 2510(1958)...
