| - Unlike most missiles featured in the Ace Combat series, ICBMs cannot be launched by a typical aircraft or surface-to-air missile launcher. They are usually fired from missile silos, which protect the missiles from enemy attack by storing and fueling them underground until they are ready to be used. Once primed, the ICBM can be fired vertical through the silo. Other methods of launching ICBMs include submarines, heavy trucks, and mobile rail launchers, but the added cost of mobility make these launch platforms less common. When an ICBM is fired, it goes through three phases of flight:
* Boost phase: The missile is launched and its engines begin operation. The missile remains in an almost-vertical flight path until it reaches peak velocity, at which point the engines cease to function, break off, and fall back to the surface.
* Midcourse phase: The warheads enter low Earth orbit and continue to use the provided momentum from boost phase on an elliptical flight path as they approach their target. At the start of this phase, some missiles will also launch countermeasures or penetration aids, and may commence MIRV separation.
* Reentry phase: The warheads begin atmospheric re-entry. At this stage, they will fall to the surface and attempt to make impact with their intended targets.

- An Intercontinental Ballistic Missile or ICBM is a long-range ballistic missile typically with a range exceeding 5,500 Kilometers, typically designed for Nuclear weapons delivery. The UNSC maintains at least one ICBM base equipped with 11-B1 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. Historically, ICBM's have been able to be launched from land-based missile silo's, mobile missile trucks, or sea-based Ballistic Submarines. Stationary bases allow easy maintenance and refueling, as well as protecting from military attack and (designers hope) a nuclear first strike. Submarine or truck-launched missiles have the advantage of quick mobility and, in the formers case, stealth, making them difficult for enemy forces to detect and counter quickly enough.

This evolution in capability has pushed the manned bomber from the front-line deterrent forces, and land-based ICBMs have similarly given way largely to SLBMs. ICBMs are differentiated by having greater range and speed than other ballistic missiles: intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs), medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs), short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs)—these shorter range ballistic missiles are known collectively as theatre ballistic missiles. There is no single, standardized definition of what ranges would be categorized as intercontinental, intermediate, medium, or short.
