Weapon systems used by the Imperial Cottish Armed Forces (ICAF)

‘Lance’ Standard anti-Ship Missile
Length: 5.8m
Diameter: 32cm
Weight: 1,286kg
Speed: Mach 2.4 Supercruise, Mach 3.7 Terminal
Range: 268km
Warhead: 428kg High-Explosive Delayed/Contact Fuse
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile remotely guided by ship radar; ‘Simplex’ Guidance radar for course adjustments, redundancy and ordinance avoidance; 'Biplex' IR Guidance System; 'Juniper' GPS Guidance System; ECCM (Electronic Counter Counter Measure) system.
The Lance missile carriers an explosive warhead larger than that of a Harpoon missile, a greater distance in a shorter time, but more importantly it carriers advanced electronics systems making the missile more accurate and less likely to be shot down by CIWS fire. This, of course, means a bigger price tag, but money will be saved in the long run as a ship that would previously required four Harpoon missiles to sink can be destroyed with only one or two Lance missiles. The upgraded Lance is equipped with a RAMjet engine, making the missile capable of much faster speeds, andtherefore making it much harder to shoot down.
‘Javelin’ Standard anti-Aircraft Missile
Length: 3.16m
Diameter: 21cm
Weight: 625kg
Speed: Mach 3.2 Supercruise, Mach 4.4 Terminal
Range: 128km
Warhead: 128kg High-Explosive Fragmentation
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile remotely guided by ship radar; ‘Simplex’ Guidance radar for course adjustments and redundancy; 'Biplex' IR Guidance System
The Javelin anti-aircraft missile is designed to be able to destroy enemy aircraft before they can threaten the ship itself, or, if acting as an anti-air picket, the fleet it is with. Although the missile carries the same advanced guidance systems as the Lance anti-ship missile, today’s aircraft can move at speeds up to mach 2 and can carry advanced countermeasure systems and so a hit cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the missile carries a large HE fragmentation warhead that can assure a kill on any aircraft within 100m. The new and upgraded Javelin missile features RAMjet technology, propelling the missile to immence speeds, increasing the likelyhood of a hit.
‘Pole-axe’ Standard Land Attack Missile
Length: 6.76m
Diameter: 55cm
Weight: 2,025kg
Speed: Mach 1.8 Supercruise, Mach 2.6 Terminal
Range: 1,800km
Warhead: 720kg High-Explosive
Guidance and Countermeasures: GPS Guided
The Pole-axe Land Attack Missile is based on the Tomahawk cruise missile, but carries a larger warhead at a faster speed. The missile is long ranged and powerful, but unsuited to ship combat dues to it’s relative slowness and lack of high accuracy and countermeasure avoidance systems needed to hit modern warships. Don’t get us wrong, the Pole-axe is great at what it does, just do try and make it do anything else.
‘Spear’ Standard anti-Ship / anti-Submarine Torpedo
Length: 7.54m
Diameter: 53.5cm
Weight: 2081kg
Speed: Mach 0.38
Range: 52km
Warhead: 624kg High-Explosive Shaped Charge
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile remotely guided by ship sonar; DETAR Guidance sonar for course adjustments, redundancy and countermeasure detection; Acaustic Guidance advanced computer for countermeasure avoidance
The Spear torpedo is propelled by a gas turbine engine which gives it top-notch endurance at a high speed. This, coupled with advanced electronics and guidance hardware, makes this a hard torpedo to fool with countermeasures. Even if the torpedo does fail to hit it’s target, it’s large warhead will seriously damage any vessel within 150m. The upgraded Spear is supercavicating, leading to a high speed with no decrease in range.
‘Halberd’ anti-Battleship Missile
Length: 14.28m
Diameter: 98cm
Weight: 5,281kg
Speed: Mach 1.8 Supercruise, Mach 2.6 Terminal
Range: 386km
Warhead: 2,872kg High-Explosive Fragmentation
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile remotely guided by ship radar; ‘Simplex’ Guidance radar for course adjustments, redundancy and countermeasure avoidance; advanced computer for countermeasure avoidance; ECCM systems
The huge Halberd anti-Battleship missile is our answer to the BBGs that shrug off Harpoons like small arms fire. The Halberd is big and expensive, but it gets the job done. It is equipped with the most powerful solid fuel engine we can fit into a missile and the most advanced countermeasure avoidance technology we have. However, the main difference between this and any other missile is its massive 2,872kg Penetrative Explosive warhead which forms a shaped charge on impact, channeling the full force of the explosion directly into the armoured plate. The Halberd is also the most expensive missile we have, but if you see it take down a multi-billion dollar battleship, I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s worth every penny. Even more so, the upgraded Halberd features RAMjet technology, making even this 5 ton behemoth faster than a Harpoon missile.
‘Discus’ anti-Missile Defense System
Length: 1.56m
Diameter: 16cm
Weight: 365kg
Speed: Mach 6.6 Hypercruise, Mach 7.5 Terminal
Range: 36km
Warhead: 86kg High-Explosive Fragmentation
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile Internally Guided by 'Simplex MkIII' Internal Radar; Advance Computer Systems and Course Adjustment Hardware for Pinpoint Targetting
The small, incredibly fast Discus Missile was developed to provide a fleet-wide anti-missile defense system. With a powerful SCRAMjet assisted solid fuel rocket, advanced course adjustment and targetting systems and a small, powerful fragmentation warhead the Discus has an excellent chance of destroying even the most advanced of missiles.
