A loitering munition, also known as a suicide drone, kamikaze drone, or exploding drone, is a weapon with a warhead that is typically designed to loiter until a target is located, then crash into it. They enable attacks against hidden targets that emerge for short periods without placing high-value platforms near the target area; unlike many other types of munitions, their attacks can be changed mid-flight or aborted. Loitering munitions are typically aerial platforms; however some autonomous unmanned undersea vehicles are classified as loitering munitions, with similar capabilities but in the subsea domain.
