They are often powered by a rocket engine or sometimes fired by an explosive charge, since the launching platform is typically stationary or moving slowly. They usually have fins and/or wings for [[lift (force)|lift]] and stability, although hyper-velocity or short-ranged missiles may use body lift or fly a ballistic trajectory.<ref name="Wragg"/> Most anti-tank and anti-ship missiles are part of surface-to-surface missile systems.<ref name="Tact"/>
