Hicks Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 FedCom 'Firestorm' MK1 Multi-Purpose Missile System A concept rendering of the FedCom 'Firestorm' MK1 Multi-Purpose Missile System General Information Name: FedCom® 'Firestorm'™ MK1 Multi-Purpose Missile System Role: Multi-role missile battery Manufacturer: FedCom Introduced: 5th January 2298 Status: In service Number built: 13,702 launchers as of 1st April 2299 Unit cost: Launchers: £34.6 million (2299) Technical Specifications Dimensions of launcher: Length - 9.2 m (30.1 ft) Width - 1.9 m (6.2 ft) Launcher height - 3.6m (11.8 ft) Mount plus launcher height - 6.4 m (20.9 ft) Weight - 23.4 metric tons (51,588.1 lbs) Dimensions of base: Length - 9.6 m (31.4 ft) Width - 7.4 m (24.2 ft) Height - 1.8 m (5.9 ft) including safety railings Dimensions of missiles: Length: 3 m (9.8 ft) Diameter: 292.1mm (11.5 in) Firing Specifications Ammunition: 13 missile tubes per launcher; 3 missiles per tube - 39 missiles in total Firing speed: 10,405 m/s (34,137.1 ft/s) Acceleration of missile: 2,498 m/s² for a maximum of 120 seconds Maximum effective range: 19,234.2 km (11,951.5 miles) Recommended maximum effective range: Approximately 15,000 km Reloading time: 7 seconds per missile by auto-loader Missile Specifications Name: 'Squall' MultI-Spectral 'Smoke Screen' MissilE (MISSME) Purpose: Generates a temporary area of sensor disturbance via the distribution of a large amount of tiny limited-life signal jammers Effect: Blocks and confuses many types of sensors, giving false readings and, in some cases, halting their function in the affected area entirely. Area of effect: Sphere centralized on detonation point, 42 km (26 miles) diameter Life of signal jammers: 180 seconds Name: 'Paralyzer' Electromagnetic Pulse Missile (EMPM) Purpose: Generates a localised electromagnetic pulse upon detonation via an explosively pumped flux compression generator (EPFCG) Effect: Damages and destroys unprotected electrically powered equipment. Area of effect: 49.5 m (162.4 ft) Note: All human-constructed vessels are protected from harmful electromagnetic radiation by a Faraday cage. For a Paralyzer missile to have an effect, the Faraday cage must first be punctured, then the missile fired into the breach. Name: 'Wildfire' High Explosive Cluster Warhead Missile (HECWM) Purpose: Deploys 108 cluster warheads prior to reaching the target and disperses them across a set area Effect: Wide area destruction from high explosive warheads - 108 total (52 large warheads, 52 small warheads) - very effective during orbital bombardments Area of effect: Up 318,600 m² (1,045,275.5 ft²) - circle of 636 .9 m (2,086.6 ft) diameter Size of warheads: Large warhead length - 1,016 mm (40 in) Large warhead diameter - 50.8 mm (2 in) Small warhead length - 1,016 mm (40 in) Small warhead diameter - 25.4 mm (1 in) Warhead payload: Large warhead payload of HMX explosive - 2.3 kg (5.2 lbs) Small warhead payload of HMX explosive - 0.59 kg (1.3 lbs) Explosive yield: HMX is approximately 2.4 times more powerful than TNT Large warhead yield - 5.52 kg (12.1 lbs) of TNT Small warhead yield - 1.4 kg (3 lbs) of TNT Total yield per missile - 359.8 kg (793.2 lbs) of TNT Name: 'Reaper' Anti-Ship Armour Piercing Missile (ASAP) Purpose: To pierce and breach heavily armoured targets to allow more destructive munitions inside Effect: Destroys large sections of hull armour on enemy vessels and acts as a 'bunker buster' during orbital bombardments Warhead payload: 4x 5.5 kg (12.1 lbs) HE tandem warheads to defeat explosive reactive armour (ERA) panels 4x 23.6 kg (52 lbs) HEAT charges on the tip of the missile - approximately 3.6m (11.8 ft) of penetration each 16x 200 kg (440.9 lbs) HMX HE charges deployed after HEAT charges breach initial armour. 3,200kg (7,054.7 lbs) total. Explosive yield: 7,680 kg (16,931.5 lbs) of TNT Name: 'Sunburst' Thermonuclear Warhead Missile (TWM) Purpose: To deliver a single thermonuclear warhead (same warhead in the 'Retaliator' torpedo) Effect: Widespread destruction caused by a nuclear explosion after warhead is injected into the target via HEAT charge penetration. Secondary EMP effect from the detonation. Almost certain target destruction. Warhead payload: 1x 23.6 kg (52 lbs) HEAT charge on the tip of the missile - approximately 3.6m (11.8 ft) of penetration 1x 475 kiloton warhead Explosive yield: 475 kiloton warhead Typical Launcher Loadout 13 tubes - 3 missiles per tube - 39 missiles in total Tube 1 - TWM, TWM, TWM Tube 2 - TWM, TWM, TWM Tube 3 - TWM, TWM, TWM Tube 4 - HECWM, HECWM, HECWM Tube 5 - HECWM, HECWM, HECWM Tube 6 - HECWM, HECWM, HECWM Tube 7 - ASAP, ASAP, ASAP Tube 8 - ASAP, ASAP, ASAP Tube 9 - ASAP, ASAP, ASAP Tube 10 - ASAP, ASAP, ASAP Tube 11 - ASAP, ASAP, ASAP Tube 12 - EMPM, EMPM, EMPM Tube 13 - MISSME, MISSME, MISSME Link to comment
