Quasiballistic missile

Quasiballistic missile

A semiballistic missile (also quasiballistic missile) is a recent term for a missile capable of using a 'depressed trajectory'. It would follow a lower trajectory than a ballistic missile, at high speed (denying the target of valuable reaction time); but at the cost of range and CEP.
