Some military weapons use rockets to propel [[warhead]]s to their targets. A rocket and its payload together are generally referred to as a ''[[missile]]'' when the weapon has a [[guidance system]] (not all missiles use rocket engines, some use other engines such as [[jet engine|jets]]) or as a ''[[rocket (weapon)|rocket]]'' if it is unguided. Anti-tank and [[Surface-to-air missile|anti-aircraft missiles]] use rocket engines to engage targets at high speed at a range of several miles, while [[intercontinental ballistic missiles]] can be used to deliver multiple [[nuclear warheads]] from thousands of miles, and [[anti-ballistic missile]]s try to stop them. Rockets have also been tested for [[reconnaissance]], such as the [[Ping-Pong (rocket)|Ping-Pong rocket]], which was launched to surveil enemy targets, however, recon rockets have never come into wide use in the military.
