ballistic
Ballistic refers to anything related to the study and design of projectiles, their movement, dynamics, angular movement, and the effects of forces such as deflection or drag forces, or stabilization. Initially, it was used to refer to the science of metal projectiles launched by weapons, but can also refer to any object that is launched into the air and follows a curved trajectory under the influence of gravity and other forces. It can extend to the launching and movement of missiles, bullets, rockets, space vehicles, and satellites. Additionally, it can imply an uncontrolled or recklessly determined course or behavior.

Military Dictionary and Gazetteer
ballistic
Is a machine designed to determine by electricity the initial velocity of a projectile. The West Point ballistic machine, devised for use at the Military Academy by Col. Benton, of the ordnance department, and since adopted by that department, consists of a bed-plate of metal supporting an arc placed in a perpendicular position, and graduated. Suspended perpendicular to the plane of this arc are two pendulums, having a common axis of motion passing through the centre. Two electro-magnets are attached to the horizontal limb of the arc to hold up the pendulums when they are deflected through angles of 90°. There is also an apparatus which records the point at which the pendulums pass each other, when they fall by the breaking of the currents which excite the magnets, two targets being placed so as to support the wires in a position to be cut by the projectile. The velocity of the electric currents being considered instantaneous, and the loss of the power of the magnets simultaneous with the rupture of the currents, it follows that each pendulum begins to move at the instant that the projectile cuts the wire, and that the interval of time corresponds to the difference of the arcs described by the pendulums up to the time of meeting.

Examples of Ballistic in a Sentence
As the president himself has acknowledged, Iran is likely to use this cash infusion -- more than $100 billion in total -- to finance terrorists, this comes just weeks after Tehran's most recent illegal ballistic missile test, and just days after the (Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps) detained 10 American sailors. A bipartisan majority in the House voted to reject this deal in the first place, and we will continue to do everything possible to prevent a nuclear Iran.
The ballistic missiles flight went from 500 kilometers to 600 kilometers, which is a distance far enough to strike all of South Korea including Busan.
The only thing we need to hear from North Korea is that they are ending and ultimately dismantling their nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program.
Our development of the latest systems and weapons that are really unparalleled in the world was caused -- and, it can be said, provoked -- by the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, we were simply forced and were obliged, of course, to ensure the security of our people and our country.
British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond:
I strongly condemn North Korea's ballistic missile technology test. This is a clear and deliberate violation of a number of U.N. Security Council Resolutions. North Korea's actions continue to present a threat to regional and international security, the U.N. Security Council unanimously agreed to take significant measures against any further launches or nuclear tests. We will now meet with our partners in New York to agree a collective response.
