A thermonuclear missile was an advanced nuclear missile which utilized a thermonuclear warhead.
In 2268, the USS Enterprise was attacked by an Ekosian missile launched from the planet Ekos, an oddity since that technology was considered too advanced for the Ekosians at the time. The Enterprise crew destroyed the missile with the ship's phasers. (TOS: "Patterns of Force")
