As new clearances and declassified documents are becoming available, the Omzian aerospace company OMASC is keen on releasing some of the statistics of the newer Omzian intercontinental cruise missiles. These missiles, a series of large unmanned aircraft designed for intercontinental travel, is the backbone of the Omzian "conventional deterrence" policy (to respond to CBW attacks and mass bomber raids against Omzian soil), already with thousands in service in the Omzian Air Force's Strategic Bomber Command.
It should be noted that current information released are rough specifications only, to prevent any disclosing of sensitive data.
RF-102B (Red Flag-102B) Intercontinental Cruise Missile
Length: 24m
Diameter: 2m
Wingspan: 9m
Weight: 45,000kg (without rocket booster)
Range: 9000km high altitude profile
Altitude: >100,000ft
Speed: Mach 5 max, Mach 4.6 standard cruise
Warhead: up to 3700kg in payload bay
Guidance: Inertial with GPS and datalink
Propulsion: Booster - Solid fueled rocket
Sustainer - Two Omzian Air Force Rocket Labs Scramjet engine
Platforms: Ground Silos, TELs, possibly SSGNs
The RF-102 sports a streamlined airframe, with a "clean" aerodynamic configuration, and two "semi-delta" wings strongly resembling the F-125C Rapier's wings. The airframe is made of various heat-resistant composite materials, along with high grade titanium and aluminum alloys, plus ceramic plates in key areas to reduce the effect of heat on the missile. Because of the "one-way flight" nature of the missile, it was decided that special RAM materials were to be put on the missile, along with a special heat-resistant non-reflective white paint coating. Because of the nature of the missile, light armoured layers, composing of various composites and buckyball-based materials, are used to protect the fuel tanks and warhead from small shrapnel.
The missile is armed with a specialized "Modular Warhead Bay", which can handle a load of up to 3700kg warhead. The bay, which houses special pylons and connections instead, would accept a number of payloads (including a 3500kg HE warhead, VX and Sarin agent dispensers, submunition dispensers, and penetrators) to be mounted in various positions that are optimal for the attack profile.
A computer system coordinates the onboard fly-by-wire system to ensure that the missile strikes at high accuracy. Because of this, the missile is able to achieve a CEP of "much less than 40m". The missile is also equipped with an elaborate countermeasures system, with a RWR, a LADAR warning system, and various means of IR countermeasures, along with radio jammers and an unspecified radar countermeasure system*.
RF-105 Intercontinental Cruise Missile
Length: 24m
Diameter: 2m
Wingspan: 8.5m (swept configuration - switchblade wings)
Weight: 43,000kg
Range: 10,000km (high altitude profile), 6000km (low altitude profile)
Altitude: >75,000ft (high altitude profile), low altitude in low altitude profile
Speed: Mach 3.4 max, Mach 3 standard cruise (high altitude profile), Mach >2 at terminal (can be adjusted)
Warhead: 5400kg HE
Guidance: Inertial with GPS and optionally TERCOMP (TERCOM-Plus) in low altitude profile
Propulsion: Booster - Solid fueled rocket
Sustainer - Two Honjak Electrics PDE-turbofan hybrid engine
Platforms: Ground Silos, TELs, possibly SSGNs
This is basically a heavily modified version of the RF-102, which has rearranged internal spaces. The changes includes a pair of new and powerful Honjak Electrics PDE-turbofan hybrid jet engines, which powers the missile towards a maximum speed of about Mach 3.5 at high altitudes. The missile's wings are also changed with a pair of retractable switchblade wings (like the JASSM), which are modified for high speed operations. Because of the use of a pair of cooler jet engines, some of the cooling features are removed, and the missile is also lengthened in order to accomdate a larger warhead and a larger fuel tank, allowing the missile to achieve a range of 11,000km at an altitude of about 86,000ft.
OOC Note(s):
* - The mentioned system is in actuality an active radar cancellation system, designed to defeat active radar homing AAMs and SAMs, although the information is pretty much classified, aside from the mention of a "radar-defeating" system.
