What Wikipedia says

An air-launched ballistic missile (ALBM) is a ballistic missile that is launched from an aircraft. An ALBM allows the launch aircraft to stand off at long distances from its target, keeping it well outside the range of defensive weapons like anti-aircraft missiles and interceptor aircraft.
