Some important aspects of mission planning are briefly outlined. More detailed discussions concern the missile's ability to avoid enemy air defenses and to resist point defense. Both the option of using low observables technology and the option of using terrain masking at low altitude are found to be viable techniques to avoid enemy air defenses. It is argued that it is useful for the missile to employ countermeasures, such as maneuvers, in the final kilometers. The new threats to missiles posed by GPS jamming and anti-sensor lasers are briefly outlined. A short discussion on the possibilities for mission planning opened up by the progress in information technology is included.
