The S-850TU 'Atrop' is a short range (by Pact space combat standards) missile originally intended as a 'dogfighting' weapon for Pact fighters and strikecraft. However its smaller size and continuously upgraded guidance system and sensors systems have led its role to expand into everything from missile based point defense to surface to air roles. | The S-850TU 'Atrop' is a short range (by Pact space combat standards) missile originally intended as a 'dogfighting' weapon for Pact fighters and strikecraft.

Principly a passively guided missile system employing electro-optical, multi-spectrum, EM tracking, and exotic energy signature tracking. These systems paired with an advanced guidance control computer with a pre-loaded set of targets capable of differentiating between countermeasures and the target craft 50 to 60 percent of the time depending on ambient conditions. | Principly a passively guided missile system employing electro-optical, multi-spectrum, EM tracking, and exotic energy signature tracking.

==== Storage State and Use ==== | ==== Storage State and Use ==== | ||
- | As stated in the opening paragraph the Strela is a sealed round type munition, meaning upon manufacture the missile system is sealed in a lightweight polymer tube which is then filled with an inert gas often nitrogen. This effectively reduces the issues of environmental degradation and most mishandling damage to the missile to a great degree. Like most canister systems there is a covered external linkage that can be used to both link the system to a launcher (a cover must be removed during loading) or another linkage that can be used to test and check the missile for damage issues. | + | The missile once manufactured is typically stored in a polymer casing until use, generally rectangular and designed to stack with munitions of its type. When opened the missile is revealed which is typically the main hull with the six fins detached to reduce the missiles overall size in storage. These are attached before the missile is loaded and can be configured into either a folded setup for launch tubes or left hanging free for standard hardpoint use. The primary linkage is covered by a throw away panel and must be uncovered and hard linked into the launch vehicle during installation. |
