A Surface-to-Air MissIle, often abbreviated as SAM, also known as a Ground-to-Air-Missile (GTAM) is a military Anti-Aircraft system or series of systems who's purpose is the destruction of aircraft or other missles (ALBMs, Tact. BMs, TBMs, SRBMs, MRBMs, IRBMs, ICBMs, and SLBMs.) Longer-Range SAMs usually use Radar detection to track Aircraft, while shorter-ranged are often referred to as "Fire-And-Forget" because they use Infared technology instead of Radar, so will easily track aircraft.
