Description
The M6 Topper is a vehicle designed to carry 24 missiles and use them to engage and destroy a number of different targets including tanks, aircraft, and other enemy units. The 24 missiles are vertically launched from a armored box in the rear of the vehicle, much like on a naval craft. The missile box can be removed from the vehicle and fired independently by another vehicle or infantry.
Lethality
The 24 missiles stored in the armored box are the Common Modular Missile System. The CMM system is a interchangeable family of warheads, guidance packages, and booster engines. The standard warheads is triple HEAT warhead that attacks top down to defeat tanks. There are also FRAG and WP warheads. There are laser, thermal, visual, and radar guidance packages. There are booster engines that can shoot the missiles over a artillery arcing profile or shoot them out and to targets close by.
The missiles can each be independently targeted using info from a UAV, forward observer, or direct and fire all 24 missiles onto individual targets.
Also included is a 25mm grenade launcher that fires airbursting programmable HE grenades and a 7.62mm machine gun.
The M6 is linked across the AKIS (Ass Kicking Information System). Every unit on the AKIS shows up on a GPS map and automatically shares target and location data. It allows instant text or voice communication.
The vehicle has a thermal and night vision sight with a x15 zoom.
-Maximum effective range is 30km
Survivability
The crew compartment is armored by high-strength ceramics and composites that provide protection from 30mm slugs all around.
The WFWS(We're Fucked Warning System). The system uses radar and laser warning receivers along with a instant scan radar that launches grenades at ATGMs. The system pops smoke, flares, chaff, and jams radar when necessary.
Mobility
The M6 is powered by a 800 horsepower hydrogen turbine. At 18 tons the M6 is C-130 transportable and air-droppable. It has a road speed on 60 miles per hour and a cross country speed of 45 miles per hour. The system can either have wheels or tracks, your choice.
Cost: 1 million USD
