"Helldart" General Purpose Missile
Type: Stand-off air to air/air to ground missile
Max Speed: Mach 4.8
Range: 68 km
Warhead: Tactical nuclear device
Sensors: AtA holographic active radar, AtG GPS guidance with visual NV/IR/or Millimetric Radar Identification, laser guidance, home-on-emission
Unit Cost: $6.3 million
A lower-cost version of the Caladcholg missile, the Helldart missile is an air-to-air missile armed with a small variable-yield nuclear warhead (from 10 to 250 tons-- yes, that's TONS). It brings to the table an impressive speed, a reasonable amount of maneuverability, and a warhead capable of eliminating most targets it's used against.
The missile has been designed with it's use in multiple different situations in mind and thus is equally useful in both an ground attack and air attack role.
Due to the miniscule size of the nuclear warhead, contamination is not an issue except for equipment or troops caught within the blast radius. There are no long-term contamination issues whatsoever.
