AIR TO AIR MISSILES

AIM-140 Advanced Defensive Air-to-Air Missile
(ADAAM)

Specifications
Primary Function Advanced Outer-Air-Battle Missile
Secondary Function Air-Defense Penetration Weapon
Contractor
Viking Military Technologies
Vega Aerospace Consortium
Power Plant Solid propellant rocket motor built by VAC
Length 13 ft 1 in (4.0 m)
Weight 1,000 lbs (453.59 kg)
Diameter 15 inches (38.1 cm)
Range 100 nautical miles (115 statute miles, 184 km)
Guidance System Semi-Active/Active Radar
Warhead Proximity-Fused High Explosive
Warhead Weight 100 lbs (45.35 kg)
Unit Cost $551,000

Notes
An expansion on the AIM-54 Phoenix and AAAM concepts put forth by the United States, the Advanced Defensive Air-to-Air Missile was concieved as an Outer-Air-Battle weapon to engage and destroy incoming enemy bombers at long range. Designed to be a cross-platform weapons system, unlike the AIM-54, the ADAAM can be carried on any fighter capable of mounting the Mk 83 1,000lb bomb. It can be fired using guidance from the carrying aircraft's radar, or from AWACS aircraft, and even incorporates a Guide-on-Jamming mode in which it engages a jamming aircraft in passive mode, using the jamming for guidance. It is especially lethal in this mode as the jamming aircraft won't even recieve warning from its threat receptors as there is no active radar targeting it.

Designed to compliment the AMRAAM already in service, the ADAAM fills a hole in the air that the AMRAAM cannot reach. With more than three times the range and two and a half times the warhead, the ADAAM is designed to take out enemy bombers before they can close with their targets.

AIM-142 Advanced Intermediate Range Air-to-Air Missile
(AIRAAM)

Specifications
Primary Function Air-to-air Tactical Missile
Contractor Vega Aerospace Consortium
Power Plant Solid propellant rocket motor
Length 9 ft, 5 in (2.87 m)
Weight 200 lbs (90.71 kg)
Diameter 5 inches (13 cm)
Range 25 miles (40.23 km)
Speed Mach 3.5
Guidance System Infrared
Warhead Annular Blast Fragmentation Warhead
Unit Cost $90,000

Notes
The AIM-142 AIRAAM is a high-speed, intermediate range weapon similar in size to the AIM-9X Sidewinder with superior range and maneuverability. This is provided through the use of advanced solid propellants and thrust-vectoring paddles. Much like the R-73M version of the AA-11 Archer missile, the AIM-142 is even capable of being mounted backwards and fired at pursuing aircraft.

AIM-145 Diamondback

Specifications
Primary Function Air-to-air Tactical Missile
Contractor Vega Aerospace Consortium
Power Plant Solid propellant rocket motor
Length 11 ft 10 in (3.6 m)
Weight 350 lbs (158.75 kg)
Diameter 8 inches (20.32 cm)
Range 95 kilometers (59 statute miles)
Speed Mach 4
Guidance System Command, Semi-Active/Active Radar
Warhead Proximity-Fused High Explosive
Unit Cost $400,000

Notes
The AIM-145 Diamondback was designed to give NATO-standard aircraft an air-to-air missile equal to the Eastern Bloc AA-12 Adder radar guided missile. In fact, it is superior in range to the AA-12, while maintaining the speed and maneuverability of the AMRAAM. It can be fired using guidance from the carrying aircraft's radar, or from AWACS aircraft, and even incorporates a Guide-on-Jamming mode in which it engages a jamming aircraft in passive mode, using the jamming for guidance. It is especially lethal in this mode as the jamming aircraft won't even recieve warning from its threat receptors as there is no active radar targeting it.

FIM-92V Stinger Active Defense Aerial Missile
(SADAM)

Specifications
Primary Function Advanced Anti-Missile Weapon
Secondary Function Defensive Missile
Contractor
Viking Military Technologies
Vega Aerospace Consortium
Power Plant Solid propellant rocket motor with thrust vectoring built by VAC
Length 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m)
Weight 13 lbs (5.9 kg)
Range 8 Kilometers (4.97 statute miles)
Guidance System Fire-and-forget passive infrared seeker
Warhead Proximity-Fused High Explosive
Unit Cost $600,000

Notes
Designed primarily for the EB-52C Megafortress project, the FIM-92V SADAM is designed to be fired into the path of an inbound missile and detonate it. It is carried in great numbers by the EB-52C in its special turret, but is capable of being mounted backwards on standard missile pylons.

As it must accelerate through zero-air speed, there is a period of time during which conventional maneuvering surfaces would be utterly useless. As a result, thrust vectoring paddles have been attached to the missile. A proximity fuse has been mounted to allow it to shower the inbound missile with shrapnel and destroy it.

ANTI-TANK GUIDED MISSILES

ATG-1 Mjolnir Anti-Tank Guided Missile
(ATGM)

Specifications
Primary Function Anti-Tank Guided Missile
Secondary Function Short Range Surface-to-Air MIssile
Contractor Vega Aerospace Consortium
Power Plant Single-stage solid fuel rocket
Length 1 meter
Range 6.5 kilometers
Guidance System Imaging Infrared (I2R)
Warhead HEAT Tandem Charge
Unit Cost $521,000

Notes
Known as the "Kermit" by the test crews for the odd "frog-hop" it executes in its anti-tank mode to attack the weaker top armour, the ATG-1 was developed to be used specifically by the second generation Werewolf, although it is available in portable launchers. Lethal out to its maximum range of 6.5 kilometers, the ATG-1 is a dual-mode weapon, capable of engaging low-flying air targets such as helicopters as well as other armoured vehicles. Equipped with a stand-off probe to defeat wire mesh and chain skirt defensive systems, the ATG-1 also employs a tandem charge with which to counter Explosive Reactive Armour.

Thunderbolt Anti-Tank Guided Missile
(ATGM)

Specifications
Primary Function Anti-Tank Guided Missile
Secondary Function Short Range Surface-to-Air MIssile
Contractor Vega Aerospace Consortium
Power Plant Single-stage solid fuel rocket
Length 1.5 meters
Range 3 kilometers
Guidance System Imaging Infrared (I2R)/Laser Guided
Warhead HEAT Tandem Charge
Unit Cost $401,000

Notes
The Thunderbolt, like the ATG-1, is a dual mode weapon with a tandem charge and a stand off probe. It can engage both tanks and low flying aircraft in either Laser or passive infrared mode. While the ATG-1 would be selected for attacking helicopters, to engage a low-flying strike aircraft such as the Warthog or the Frogfoot the Thunderbolt in IR tracking mode would be the weapon of choice. Not as sophisticated as the ATG-1, the Thunderbolt is a direct attack weapon without a pop-up top attack mode like that on the ATG-1, and as such is often considered a secondary weapon.

TORPEDOES

Silverfish Supercavitating Self-Guided Torpedo
(SCSG Torpedo)

Specifications
Primary Function Heavyweight torpedo for submarines
Secondary Function Defensive ("Revenge") Snapshot Weapon
Contractor Viking Military Technologies
Power Plant Solid Rocket
Length 5.79 meters
Weight 1,766.74 kilograms
Diameter 53.34 centimeters
Range 12 kilometers
Speed 360 kilometers per hour
Depth 1,000 meters
Guidance System Passive/Active Acoustic Homing
Warhead 362.87 kg (800 lbs) high explosive
Unit Cost $3.5 million

Notes
The Silverfish is the final product of an extensive design project jointly run by DOKNRD and Viking Military Technologies, parent company of Viking Firearms. The purpose of this project was to improve the capabilities of the DKN's submarine force by providing them with a new high-speed torpedo.

Self-Guided and supremely lethal, the Silverfish is what is known as a supercavitating weapon. It operates using a solid rocket motor to propel it at speeds of three hundred and sixty kilometers an hour. Based off of concepts used in the construction of the Russian Shkval-series of torpedoes, the Silverfish was developed to give Kotterite submarines similar capabilites.

The Silverfish utilizes the principle of supercavitation in its operation. Fast moving objects in water, generally ones with sharp edges, such as propellers can, through their passage, lower the pressure of the water around them until it reaches a point so low that the water becomes vapour, forming little bubbles, much like when you boil water. Unlike heat-formed bubbles, however, these ones are unstable, and when they encounter more normal water pressures, they implode violently. This is called cavitation.

Supercavitating projectiles utilize this effect to create a renewable bubble of vapour around themselves through which they travel, greatly reducing the friction acting upon the device in question. Generally, the size and length of this bubble is dictated by speed. The Silverfish, however, like the Shkval before it uses a process called ventilated supercavitation by which a portion of the torpedo's exhaust gasses are released through outlets near the nose of the torpedo, providing it with a bubble large enough for the weapon.

This allows the Silverfish to travel faster and deeper than the weapons that have come before, resulting in damage from kinetic energy exchange on impact as well as simply from the detonation of the warhead, as with previous torpedoes. Although the speed, guidance system, impact, and increased warhead size almost guarantees a kill, the MK48 ADCAP torpedo remains in service with the DKN as well as the Silverfish due to the increased cost of the latter.

Swordfish Light Supercavitating Self Guided Torpedo
(Light SCSG Torpedo)

Specifications
Primary Function Air and ship-launched lightweight supercavitating torpedo
Contractor Viking Military Technologies
Power Plant Solid Rocket
Length 2.79 m (110 in)
Weight 340 kg (750 lbs)
Diameter 32.39 cm (12.75 in)
Range 6 kilometers
Speed 360 kilometers per hour
Depth 1,100 meters
Guidance System Passive/Active Acoustic Homing
Warhead 45.36 kg (100 lbs) high explosive shaped charge
Unit Cost $3 million

Notes
An evolution of the Silverfish SCSG torpedo, the Swordfish is a lightweight torpedo designed to be launched from aircraft and surface ships already employing the Mk-50 Advanced Lightweight Torpedo. Almost identical in dimensions and weight, the Swordfish incorporates a number of advancements over the original SCSG that are expected to be incorporated into the next generation of heavy SCSG torpedoes. Only marginally more expensive than the Mk-50, the Swordfish is expected to utterly replace the latter weapon in DAF arsenals.

Flying Fish Anti-Submarine Rocket
(ASROC)

Specifications
Primary Function Anti-Submarine Rocket
Contractor Viking Military Technologies
Power Plant Two-Stage Solid Rocket
Length 5.08 m (200 in)
Weight 744 kg (1,640.35 lbs)
Diameter 35.81 cm (14.1 in)
Range
Booster 1.37 km min to 11 km max
Torpedo 6 kilometers
Speed
Booster 850 km/h
Torpedo 360 km/h
Depth 1,100 meters
Guidance System Passive/Active Acoustic Homing
Warhead 45.36 kg (100 lbs) high explosive shaped charge
Unit Cost $3.6 million

Notes
Essentially a Swordfish LSCSG torpedo mounted on an ASROC booster, this is expected to become the standard Anti-submarine rocket in the DAF inventory.

CRUISE MISSILES

Crossbow Stealth Land Attack Missile

Specifications
Primary Function Long-Range Subsonic Cruise Missile For Attacking Surface Targets
Contractor Vega Aerospace Consortium
Power Plant Kielly-Caesar M211-KC-12 cruise missile turbofan with IR Trough
Length 5.73 meters; with booster - 6.1 meters
Weight 1092.5 kg; with booster 1340 kg
Diameter 52.3 centimeters
Wing Span 2.76 meters
Range 600 nautical miles (1110.45 kilometers)
Guidance System Inertial, GPS, and TERCOM
Warhead 1,000 pounds high-explosive, Conventional submunitions dispenser with combined effect bomblets, or W-80 nuclear device
Unit Cost $570,000

Notes
The Crossbow Stealth Land Attack Missile is the latest addition to the Dominion of Kotterdam's arsenal. Designed using new light-weight materials, a more efficient turbofan than on the Tomahawk, and improved targeting systems, the C-SLAM can be carried aboard and fired from any vessel or launcher capable of holding its predecessor. In addition, it is equally capable of being fired from aircraft, granting it further versatility.

Capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear payloads to a target with a margin of error of approximately two feet, the Crossbow is a first class precision weapon. Low-observability hull geometry and radar absorbant materials allow the weapon to avoid radar detection under most circumstances, and a specially designed trough behind the jet engine causes jet exhaust to mix with cool air, thus lessening the missile's IR signature.

SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILES

Hammerhead Submarine-Launched Anti-Air Missile
(SLAAM)

Specifications
Primary Function Surface-to-Air Missile for submarines
Secondary Function Battlegroup Defense Weapon
Contractor Vega Aerospace Consortium
Power Plant Single-stage, Dual thrust solid fuel rocket
Length 4.62 meters
Weight 761 kilograms
Diameter 34.3 centimeters
Range 90 nautical miles
Guidance System Semi-Active/Active Radar
Warhead Proximity-Fused High Explosive
Unit Cost $521,000

Notes
The result of the Dominion of Kotterdam's recent interest in naval weaponry, the Hammerhead SLAAM project was originally designed to grant submarines the ability to swat pesky ASW helicopters from the skies, but it has expanded to give them a broader range of capabilities similar to those of the SM-2-MR. The Hammerhead offers both semi- and fully-active radar homing modes, allowing submarines equipped with this weapon to raise their radar mast, fire a missile, and submerge once more to evade the aircraft while the missile engages on its own.

ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILES

http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/systems/images/mm-pic-c-s.jpg

ABM-30G Minuteman III Anti-Ballistic Missile
(ABM)

Specifications
Primary Function Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle Delivery System
Contractor Vega Aerospace Consortium, Viking Military Industries
Power Plant Three stage solid-propellant
Length 59.9 feet (18 meters)
Weight 79,432 pounds (32,158 kilograms)
Diameter 5.5 feet (1.67 meters)
Speed Approximately 15,000 miles per hour at burnout (Mach 20 at sea level)
Guidance System Inertial/Electro-Optical Infrared
Warheads 1 Kinetic Kill Vehicle
Unit Cost $50 Million

Notes
Thanks to the instability of the world at large, the Dominion of Kotterdam, never having signed the ABM treaty, has developed exactly such a system. Capable of intercepting inbound reentry vehicles and destroying them beyond the atmosphere, the ABM-30G is simply a Minuteman III ICBM with a modified guidance system and an Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle for a payload. The Minuteman booster lifts the EKV into orbit where it intercepts and destroys the inbound reentry vehicle by slamming into it at high speeds. Fundamental changes have been made to the payload bus to prevent this missile from ever being converted to its nuclear-armed counterpart.

Notes
Thanks to the instability of the world at large, the Dominion of Kotterdam, never having signed the ABM treaty, has developed exactly such a system. Capable of intercepting inbound reentry vehicles and destroying them beyond the atmosphere, the ABM-118A is simply a Peacekeeper ICBM with a modified guidance system and a payload of ten Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicles. The Peacekeeper booster lifts the EKVs into orbit where they intercept and destroy the inbound reentry vehicles by slamming into them at high speeds. Fundamental changes have been made to the payload bus to prevent this missile from ever being converted to its nuclear-armed counterpart.

TANK ROUNDS

Rocket Assisted Kinetic Energy - Anti Tank Round
(RAKE-AT)

Specifications
Primary Function Anti-Armour Round
Secondary Function Anti-Material Round
Contractor Viking Military Technologies
Propellant Liquid, Solid, or Advanced Solid with terminal solid rocket assist
Available Calibres 80mm SP, 105mm SP, 105mm ASP, 105mm ETC, 120mm SP, 120mm ASP, 120mm ETC, 130mm ETC
Warhead Impact-fused Rocket Assisted Kinetic Energy
Unit Cost $125

Notes
Essentially an armour-piercing, fin-stabilized, discarding sabot round (APFSDS), the RAKE-AT round contains a small solid-fuel rocket motor inside the sabot that triggers not on launch, but on impact, granting the round even greater penetrating capabilities. In tests, the RAKE-AT showed remarkable capabilities against even explosive-reactive armour, or ERA.

Smart Top Attack Kinetic Energy Round
(STAKE)

Specifications
Primary Function Anti-Armour Round
Contractor Viking Military Technologies
Propellant Liquid, or Advanced Solid with terminal solid rocket assist
Available Calibres 105mm ASP, 105mm ETC, 120mm ASP, 120mm ETC, 130mm ETC
Warhead Radar-fused Rocket Assisted Kinetic Energy
Unit Cost $250

Notes
One of the newest offerings from VMT, the Smart Top Attack Kinetic Energy, or STAKE round is a semi-guided tank round designed for top attack anti-armour operations. Equipped with a miniaturized, very short range milimeter-wave radar, the round is fired by targeting the enemy tank and firing at a point above it. The STAKE round uses its radar to tell when it is approaching the tank, orients itself to face down towards the turret through the use of maneuvering fins, and fires its solid rocket booster to drive itself through the thin top armour of the tank.
