^  Propulsion and Powerplant  ^^
|  **Propulsion**\\ The missile employs a single cylindrical LISTM type solid fuel fusion drive system with plasma bleed ducting to provide steerage in thin or non-existent atmospheric conditions. When active it is also the primary power source for the missiles systems.  ||
|  **Powerplant**\\ The missile's primary power source when under storage conditions is a set of CCEC type capacitors linked to a small 'beer' can sized CFTB Type fission system, effectively giving the ATGM a decades long shelf life when stored under proper conditions. These systems are intended to have enough energy to ignite the drive motor when the missile is fired and are usually a secondary source of power once the motor is supplying the needed energy while in flight.  ||

===== General Information =====
This section covers the more general information of the Gabon ATGM missile. 
==== Storage State and Use ====
As stated above the Gabon missile system is a 'sealed round' weapon system in which the missile is sealed in a kylar polymer tube which is filled with nitrogen an inert non-reactive gas to allow for long term storage. As a result this 'round' is the primary munition for the Gabon system, be it used in a single shot CLU for man portable employment or on various vehicles. To be employed the user removes a cover a foot below the front end of the missile which uncovers the linkages for the missile inside the tube. This linkage is slotted specifically to allow for the tube to be inserted in the launcher only in a way which lines it up with the launcher system's contact link. 
==== Command Launch Unit (CLU) ====
A reusable device powered by a [[colonial_pact:technologies:bzm-89_cmpc_common_micro_power_cell]], it consists of a wrap around mounting for a Gabon missile tube with an attached optical sight and laser designator with controls for launching and controlling the missile. The user can see the system status and displays from a display optic on the left side of the launcher.\\

==== Guidance and Control Options ====
The weapon has various adaptable firing and control options depending on its warhead and the situation in which the operator finds themselves in. These can effect both how the missile detonates and the angle from which the missile attacks the target, the primary modes are listed below. Like most weapons with data link capability its attacking mode can be changed mid flight. 
=== Guidance Modes ===
  *Semi-Active Command Line of Sight Optical
  *Semi-Active Command Line of Sight Laser
  *Silhouette Lock Fire and Forget
  *Optic Lock Fire and Forget with Mid Point Active Guidance
  *'Launch on Data' Fire and Forget with Optical and LIDAR Targeting 

==== Warhead ====
The present primary and most common warhead option on the Gabon missile is a primary anti-tank solid fuel direction plasma warhead with a anti-personnel fragmentation sleeve. Effective against both infantry out in the open and against armored vehicles (or both if the targeted platform has infantry in close attendance) it allows the user to engage these targets without the need to switch ordinance. 
  ***Primary Warhead**
    ***Type -** Directional Solid Fuel Plasma, Narrow Jet, Typically Top or Side Attack
    ***Purpose -** Anti-Ship, Anti-Installation, and Surface Attack
    ***Area of Effect -** Point of Impact
  ***Secondary Warhead**
    ***Type -** Fusion-type Explosive Propelled Fragmentation Sleeve
    ***Purpose -** Light Anti-Ship, Area Surface Attack, Anti-Strikecraft
    ***Area of Effect -** Ovoid Fragmentation Pattern
