ASBM refers to Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile. It is a Medium or Intermediate range ballistic missile, fitted with a homing head to allow the missile to hit enemy ships far out to sea. Due to their long range and great speed, ASBMs are currently almost totally invulnerable to existing ship anti-missile defences.
