A ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) is an unmanned aircraft for military attack (e.g., "pilotless bomber"/"surface-to-surface missile") which uses aerodynamic Lift (force) in flight after being launched (usually by firing) from a surface (ground or sea) launcher or site. GLCMs generally used automatic flight control, some GLCMs used air burst nuclear detonations to damage the surface target, and GLCMs include the following: * Kettering Bug, a pre-WWII manned aircraft tested with remote control in the United States * V-1 flying bomb, "the first true operational GLCM" used in 1944 for the WWII Robot Blitz * Republic-Ford JB-2, a US Army Air Forces variant of the V-1 * Operation Aphrodite and Anvil aircraft, USAAF B-17 or US Navy B-24 bombers flown to targets by remote control after bailout of take-off crews * Fieseler Fi 103R Reichenberg, a planned V-1 with cockpit that became a missile when the German pilot bailed out (cf. Japanese manned V-1 models used for kamikaze) * KGW-1 Loon, a post-war US Navy variant of the V-1 * MGM-1 Matador, a USAF jet-propelled missile with JATO-guided by MARC and preceded by 15 SSM variants * Martin MGM-13 Mace, a variant of the Matador * SSM-N-8 Regulus I & II, USN cruise missiles * Snark, a USAF cruise missile * SM-64 Navaho, a USAF GLCM program carried "AN/APW-11 radar transponder" avionics for tracking by a ground control radar to allow—during the autopilot's "automatic stable flight"--command guidance by radio control via an AN/ARW-56 airborne receiver processing commands from the AN/ARW-55 transmitter at the radar station.〔 (cites: ''James N.
