Specifications – LY4031 SAM/AAM/ABM system
Length: 5.1 m
Diameter: 0.31 m
Wing span: 0.46
Weight: 355 kg
Propulsion: solid propellant boost and sustain
Guidance: inertial with command updates. Active radar terminal homing from AGAT. Alternate home-on-jamming modes.
Warhead: KE hit-to-kill
Speed: 3600 km/h
Range: 210 km
Altitude: 65,000 m
Background and conceptualisation
The LY4031 was initially developed for use by Lyran Protectorate Aerospace and air defence units in the surface-to-air and air-to-air engagement envelopes. The developmental direction of the LY4030 quickly emphasised the further requirement that the LY4031 be capable of engaging evasive, high-agility and/or high-speed targets, and the system was developed accordingly.
Based in large part upon the Russo-Soviet 9M96M, a component of the S-400, the LY4031 can can be accomodated on the existing SAM system launchers of the S-400 family, but are extensively redesigned to be compatible with a multitude of platforms.
Synopsis
The LY4031 missile is a medium range, high-acceleration, endoatmospheric interceptor missile, capable against a wide range of targets. The LY4031 is more than able to engage aircraft and air-launched weapons at ranges in excess of 210 km. The missile is small - similar in size to the 9M96M missile of the S-400, on which the LY4031 is based, and uses a hit-to-kill attack profile. The missile is equipped with an active homing head and has an estimated single shot kill probability of 0.98 for manned aircraft and 0.92 for unmanned maneuvering aircraft. A gas-dynamic control system enables the LY4031 missile to maneuver at altitudes of up to 65 km at positive g forces over 30, which permits engagment of non-strategic ballistic missiles. The LY4031 (modified) is expected to become the basic long-range weapon of Lyran Protectorate Air Force's combat aircraft, and may become the standardised missile for medium-to-long range air defense SAM systems, ship-launched air defense missile systems, and fighter aircraft.
A container with four LY4031 will fit in the same launcher that held the four 9M96Ms of the S-400, or the single-launch container of the LY4030, 5V55 or 48N6 missiles, and thus the the standard launcher intended for four S-300 serires 48N6Ye missiles can accommodate up to four LY4030 or sixteen LY4031 missiles. All elements that provide for the greatest possible continuity with systems of the S-300/S-400 family, making it possible to smoothly change over to the production of the new generation system for those nations fielding Russian or Soviet theatre-defence systems.
Export
The LY4031 is available at NS$45,000 each, with ten selling for NS$400,000. Domestic production rights are available to approved purchasers at NS$15bn. Orders and enquiries through Lyran Arms (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=541320).
