loitering munition
A loitering munition is a type of weapon that is launched and can remain in the target area for an extended period of time, allowing operators to control its flight path and engage targets as needed before self-destructing. It combines the capabilities of a drone and a missile, providing precision strike capabilities with increased flexibility and loitering time.
