Designed in part with the realizations and advancements of the CAPER project ATI fresh with cash from both local and international customers set about improving the CAPER concept even further. Knowing that the 70cm round that had been developed for the Epion concept had been turned down a 100cm round was produced and provided as a competitor for the Epions‘ main battery. When this too was rejected in favor of the much more accurate and longer ranged 55cm round the hundreds of 100cm rounds developed for the Epion bid were left without home or a purpose, but were none the less frighteningly effective weapons.

When a contract for a Super large Anti-Shipping Missile were released by Kora Inlet Shipyards as part of a wider bid for the Epion and Flight III Archon project, ATI seized the chance to recoup lost development costs from the Initial Epion bid by converting the prototype rounds.

Adding a redesigned rocket stage to the existing test stock of 100cm RAPs (Rocket Assisted Projectiles) they added four tubes of stacked countermeasure grenades to help protect the round from any attempted counter to the one meter diameter the incoming round on its terminal flight. They also added a set of sturdy and fixed fins to stabilize the now non spin stabilized projectile to increase its overall accuracy. The designers then repurposed the rocket motor on the round, instead of using it to propel the round forward they would take advantage of the near vertical impact vector available and assist gravity by burning the rocket during the rounds terminal phase of flight. At 15000kg carrying 800kg of Fox-7 insensitive explosive in a stacked Explosive Energetic Deflection style warhead moving at 3.2 km/s the new warhead was to be rightly feared by any vessel of any navy the world over…

The question now came of delivery; with the rocket motor on the round itself being used to increase its penetrating velocity, and the fins preventing its use in a gun of any sort, they were left with only one reasonable propulsion method; another rocket.

Stealing the main booster from a TSSM-3 land based Ballistic Missile they removed the second stage and fitted a linking section between the two motors. The larger diameter tube fitting over the main penetrator and protecting its terminal rocket engine from the hazards of high velocity flight. Between the two stages they fitted one of the most advanced Integrated guidance system available at the time. Using a triple set of ATAPS (Advanced Tactical Positioning System) receivers the system is capable of keeping itself on course with only one of three systems active, and with extreme accuracy available under ideal situations. Coupled with the ATAPS system is fifth generation inertial guidance system using a laser-ring gyroscope and a multitude of both back up and somewhat fragile very accurate accelerometers and whatnot. These all are fed to the rear control fins of the booster allowing the now ten meters long missile to stick firmly to its shallow ballistic course.

The major difference between the Broadside Missile was not that it was a converted Naval round, but that on its terminal phase it is completely unguided. This makes its jamming impossible and immunizes it against any sort of extreme ECM/ECCM cluttered environment. The missile is launched out of a tube like a conventional ballistic missile, though the Broadside never pierces the upper atmosphere it gains height merely to increase its range. When it reaches the Apex of its flight the two stages separate and the firs stage then arcs towards the target area upon confirmation of the correct path the round ignites its rocket and speeds towards its target at amazing speeds. Though this does somewhat decrease its overall accuracy, for the size of targets the missile was designed for the missile was still found to be lethally effective at maximum range.

Unlike the former Sledgehammer Missile, the Broadside Missile is immune to the seemingly widely available THEL system, the hardened steel skin being far to thick to be effected significantly during its flight time, the resulting KE being more or less of equal value after penetration. Also unlike tis comeptitor the Broadside is not limited to a near vertical impact, any strike will bare fruit even if as low as 30 degrees to 85 degrees (with of course ideal being at 90 degrees)

Riding on the success and capabilities of the Kazeha Intermediate Range Kinetic Antitank Missile ( or IRKAT) the Energetic Materials Science team at ATI were tasked with the development of a capable anti-shipping missile that could be fired from fixed wing aircraft, shore mounted batteries, submerged torpedo tubes, as well as tube launched via an equivalent of the Mk 41 VLS system in wide use with most of the worlds navies. Though initial trials of up scaling the IRKAT concept were of disappointing effect against armored target hulls the team was not without a number of ideas to improve the effect against a contemporarily armored vessel beyond a simple ?needle hole? as was being encountered by a long rod penetrator. After months of investigation and experimentation the crew finally outfitted the first prototype of what would become the Cutlass Anti-shipping missile.

Focused around a massive 450kg high explosive charge the cutlass packs a un ignorable punch to any but the largest of vessels. This penetrator is quite unique from many modern anti shipping missiles in that it is equivalent to putting the barrel of a 12 inch naval cannon to the waterline (or superstructure) of a vessel and firing at point blank range. This is due to the fact that essentially IS the penetrating concept behind the Cutlass.

A reinforced section behind the seeker contains a tungsten encased high explosive penetrator which itself is resting on a small propelling charge at the rear of the warhead section. Though separately fused from the propelling charge (delayed) the missile detonates the propelling charge on impact with the target forcing the penetrator into the target before the primary detonation of the warhead. Though the concept is similar to that of the US Navies Harpoon AShM the effect is much more devastating as it uses more than just the velocity of the missile to obtain penetration, as well as a larger warhead and therefore provides a higher kill ratio than that of the harpoon while still being of similar range, and launch characteristics.

The Cutlass' true keen edge however is its trinity millimetric wave multi-beam radar seeker operating at 94GHz. Using three independently adjustable hexagonal arrays at the front of the missile allows for wide angle searches each with a small beam width and therefore very high angular resolution with reduced clutter for the given antenna size, which is limited significantly by the diameter of the missile. The seeker operates in low visibility, contaminated battlefield conditions and is not susceptible to obscurants such as smoke, dust, sea spray, flares and chaff. With all three arrays focused on a single target or all three arrays focused on separate targets; the seeker of the cutlass has nearly unlimited high resolution tracking capability up to its maximum terminal range. This arrangement gives the Cutlass the capability to operate in all weathers and by day and night without distraction.

The primary propulsion of the Cutlass is a dual stage solid booster/ramjet that allows for long range sustained high subsonic travel with few moving parts meaning an high reliability, and lighter weight. The first stage is a solid consumable solid fuel rocket booster that accelerates the missile up to cruise speed before fully consuming the booster this action creates a vacuum within the rear section of the missile which draws air in through the intakes and ignites under pressure propelling the craft onward. The fuel for the Ramjet is stored in a long pressurized tube that spirals around the rear section of the booster acting as a psuedo-heat exchanger. This method lowers the temperature of emerging exhaust which in turn lowers its IR signature, and pre-warms the liquid fuel prior to combustion meaning that the ramjet motor achieves a higher efficiency with less fuel than most similarly powered systems.

In conclusion the Cutlass Missile is a flexible, highly lethal system that can out perform almost every medium range anti-shipping missile currently available today with superior results.

After only six months the Mekugian Republican Navy had begun to realize the shortcomings of the CAPEX project, though both innovative and ingenious the project had been rushed and was not exactly what could be called a finished concept any more than it could be called a prototype. A year later the CAPEX rounds were nowhere to be found in the magazines of RN vessels, replaced entirely by the longer but much more effective CAPER series of rounds. A product improved and now finally fully tested version of the original CAPEX round with several improvements.

Long, pointed windscreens, which are good for minimum drag in air, are poison under water as they add considerable surface area to the sideways forces on the nose and move the forces much farther from the rounds center of gravity, giving the forces acting on the round added leverage. Both of these effects means that a long, pointed projectile will very rarely be able to continue nose-first for any distance underwater. The resultant tumbling effect will slow it down almost immediately, so it will not go far horizontally before sinking downward. A very blunt or near-flat nose eliminates most of the sideways area that the drag forces of the water can act on and also shortens the distance to the center of gravity, making rotation more difficult. This is why many air-dropped torpedoes have flat noses (with beveled or rounded edges to reduce drag somewhat).

The CAPER series of Rounds have steel windscreens for long range accuracy, but they also have pop-out plugs ringing the lower nose just above where they jointed the AP cap edge. These allow water (not air) to ram through and snap off the ballistic windscreen on water impact, resulting in the Sake-cup shaped forward face of their AP caps to penetrate the waters surface efficiently and strike at an angle into the ships side which was designed primarily to defend against compression effect from HE packed torpedoes, not penetrating strikes as so few have been recorded in modern or in the past. This is made possible by the super-long delay fuse which if set to normal (0.025 British nominal standard) would barely have enough time to reach the hull let alone penetrate to any reasonable depth.

The Armor Piercing or ‘Biting’ cap of the CAPER series is unique among naval rounds, offering both a semi-meplat shape comprising of 30% of the shells diameter for excellent but also a recessed center which allows the other ring to bite deeply into any vessels armor for superb round stabilization during penetration regardless of obliquity. The Sake-cup shape also increase both lateral and vertical stresses to the outer and subsequent plates of armor that the round is penetrating generating an uneven stress that allows for better overall penetration. Due to the long penetrating nose of the shell body the round is extremely difficult to de-cap a feature not lost on naval commanders who look to the CAPER not for occasional ‘large target’ threats but for every-day anti-shipping needs.

The Shell body is Boat-tailed for better stability at penetration velocities (or ‘on target’ velocities) behind the rear of Three driving bands. The round is supported in the gun barrel by a pair of Driving bands and a Bourrelet. Besides allowing for less aerodynamic disturbance of the round on exiting the gun barrel these driving bands are designed to trap as much gas as possible behind the round allowing for higher muzzle velocities and better gas efficiency upon exit the driving bands are forced flat against the shell body to decrease drag. The Driving bands and Bourrelet are of a soft cupo-nickel alloy that is soft enough to decrease overall barrel wear but strong enough to not bite too deep into the rifling that might cause unwanted nutation or balloting in the gun barrel.

The Bursting charge begins at central point of balance and expands outward to from two cavities with an overall ovoid form. The Bursting charge is comprised of Diamino-Dinitroethylene a new insensitive high power explosive compound. Nicknamed Fox-7 is generically somewhat similar to the insensitive chemical compound TATB, which is a Benzene ring compound with three amino and three nitro groups. Fox-7 is a linear two-carbon backbone rather than a benzene ring, but the added amino and nitro groups have similar effects in both cases according to published reports on sensitivity and chemical decay processes of Fox-7. With a velocity at detonation of 8870 m/s at 1885 kg.m-3 is one of the most powerful insensitive high-explosives used today.

The Improved Delayed Impact Fuse is situated at the rear of the shell and its dual tube igniter running though the center. Of both charges in order for proper detonation sequence to promote the proper concentration of explosive force. Its this arrangement that makes the CAPER such an effective round. Using a concept called Explosive Energetic Deflection the round operates normally at impact, and penetration, however once the fuse ignites the base charge the rear charge the round explodes outwards causing massive collateral damage and tearing open the wound on the vessel spectacularly. Picoseconds later igniting the main charge. With the rear of the charge buffered by the expansion of the rear charge the main charge is projected forwards creating grievous wounds to any vessel and allowing for penetration and damage to armored vessels comparable to guns several inches wider in bore.

A Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP) and Rocket Assisted Projectile Penetrator (RAP2) are both available upgrades to this round (M89 and M90 respectively) though the basic arrangement is the same they serve radically different purposes. The M89 RAP is physically longer than the M87 but fits in five AA class rocket motors in order to provide a substantial increase in range over a non assisted round, this does decrease the muzzle velocity of the projectile, this however is recouped in turn at ignition and both rounds have equivalent penetration figures at their maximum range. The M90 RAP2 is merely a modified form of the M89 containing the same five AA class motors with an additional three CA class motors that increase the velocity before penetration increasing their overall potential penetration figures dramatically. Even though this again decreases their overall velocity the projectiles gain another 200 m/s in speed before impact making them some of the most lethal and long ranged projectiles in the naval world.

The REAPER project was initiated only weeks after the successful test firing of a CAPEX round, but the technical limitations and lack of off the shelf technology lead to its delayed release lagging behind all but the CAPER series of anti-ship shells. Developed in the wake of many other nations using sub-munition launching naval rounds as a counter to the growing armor on naval vessel not to destroy the ship itself but to not only render the vessels blind, but defenseless the MoD set about a requirement for an effective Submunition capable round unlike anything the world had ever seen.

The General principle is simple fill a shell with 1000 armor piercing sub projectiles (each one themselves a projectile) and fire them in a massive volley once close to an enemy ship. Though Each projectile would have its own fuse, bursting charge and case even the ambitious designers at ATI knew that they would never be able to penetrate the thick hide of today’s battleships. This however was not the Idea of the round. Knowing that in order for Radar and other sensors to be effective they cannot be fully armored, likewise CIWS mounts must remain light and agile enough to respond limiting their ability to be practically armored. It is these platforms that the REAPER was designed to take out. To render her enemies blind and nearly defenseless.

Constructed of High Quality steel the REAPER begins life as a cast hollow shell very similar to most Heavy HE rounds. Her skin is then drilled with 45mm diameter holes about a third of the way along her body behind the nose, giving her the appearance similar to that of a cheese grater. Tubes are fitted to the holes and welded in place leaving three hundred and fifty 40mm tubes sticking out from the center of the round. The Shells only real guidance comes in the form of a Radar detector, With the proliferation of MMW and other forms of Radio-frequency ranging this it was felt would be a fairly effective means of determining if it was close to a naval vessel. With the Radio-Frequency detector, and guidance secured in the nose of the round the tubes are welded to a light metal sheeting that runs from the rear of the payload section to just in front of the nose. The space between the tubes and the shell is then filled with expansion foam in order to support and buffer the tubes themselves. The Shells main bursting charge is then added and wired (with safeties installed). The rear section of the round is then installed.

Known as the ‘petals’ the payload section of the round is covered by five Cast steel air brakes these not only protect the sub-projectiles but also to slow down the projectile and its spin rate upon reaching the target area. Now it should be noted that ‘slow’ is a relative term as the round would still be moving several hundred meters a second on its final approach, but the petals primary purpose is the align the round in the direction in which would be most dangerous to such platforms, parallel. Once falling vertically the round takes a reading from its sensor and if a signal is found it detonates upon reaching the highest signal, or if no signal is found (radars turned off) detonates a after a variable timed fuse dictates that it should do so.

The individual projectiles the round releases are hardened steel penetrators some 13 inches long comprised of a steel body that is pre-fragmented and filled with High Explosive. The rounds are either Delayed Impact or Proximity fused, and are of rear fused type. Penetration varies according to where it strikes but it has been recorded to penetrate the decks of some carriers and may penetrate some light superstructure, though its primary purpose is the destruction of equipment on deck.

Simple, Lethal, Efficient. The REAPER round can cause devastating losses against enemy vessels ability to defend themselves leaving little option other than to pack in redundancy, cost and weight into defending what is a vicious cycle that is ultimately futile on the behalf of the defender.

Seeking a high tech complimentary weapon for high profile Land and Naval targets to accompany the CAPEX round the ARCHER project was begun hoping to bring extreme long ranges and high precision to a high explosive round. The primary external difference between the two rounds is that the M23 is a full bored round, and is 70cm shorter than its Armor Piercing cousin.

Available in both Rocket assisted and Standard models both are capable of extending their range by adjusting their flight path in course, essentially ‘gliding’ to their target as far as 150km away. With both the Inertial Navigation Unit and ATAPS (Advanced Tactical Positioning System) active the system is capable of striking within three meters of a designated co-ordinate and deliver a 250kg payload with little chance of interception. The standard model is capable of striking land and naval targets up to 115km away with no warning, relying on either satellite imagery or Special Forces on the ground to relay target co-ordinates.

When used in the naval role the ARCHER is capable of severely crippling an armored ships sensors and exposed systems and the destruction of enemy aircraft on aircraft bearing vessels with seeming ease. The relatively low cost per round compared to a dedicated strike craft, or a cruise missile allows for large scale accurate strikes in a much more economical fashion. When used in conjunction with CAPEX round a Paragon or Obelisk class vessel is capable of providing lethally accurate and crippling long range fire power against almost any and all comers.

The variants are fairly straight forward with the standard model carrying a 250kg High Explosive payload that is lofted only by the main gun, the second model boasts extended range and is rocket assisted. Sub-variants of both offer Sub-Munition capability to allow for a wide range of tasks to be completed accurately, lethally, and economically.
