Summary/Abstract: The cruise missile represents a typical exhibit of the contemporary technological progress, incorporating revolutionary innovations and offering capabilities to match. The performances reached by these weapon systems place them in the spotlight of all the military powers of the world and made them the object of some very large development programs. The last evolutions in this field aimed at consistently improving several features of the cruise missiles transforms them into a major challenge for the current missile defense systems, dedicated, mainly, for the countering of some more or less classical threats such as the fighters and the ballistic missiles.
