This system is electrically initiated by the launch weapon or platform when the missile is fired. || |
- | | **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. || | + | |

==== Storage State and Use ==== | ==== 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. | + | The missile is typically issued in a caseless container which can either be inserted into a single shot launcher or packed into a multi-shot launcher. These containers are shed on launch, typically in a manner akin to a cartridge type sabot. |
- | ==== 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 ==== | ==== 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 and Control System ==== |
- | === Guidance Modes === | + | The computer 'brain' of the missile is located just at the mid point of body, housed inside of a insulated and shielded case (which protects it against various electromagnetic and scalar threats) is a control processor of small but powerful capabilities. It is capable of switching between four standard guidance modes and has programmed routines that when pared with its optical sensors can alloy it to differentiate between various decoy and electronic warfare measures. This processor is also linked to a radio receiver antenna and optical receiving laser communications node allowing the launching platform to directly guide or influence the missiles flight path. |
- | *Semi-Active Command Line of Sight Optical | + | |
- | *Semi-Active Command Line of Sight Laser | + | *//SALH (Semi-Active Laser Homing)// |
- | *Silhouette Lock Fire and Forget | + | *A semi-active form of guidance in which the launching platform employs a laser to paint the target, the optical systems of the missile will then seek this laser point and track in on it until the target is hit. However this method requires the launching platform to keep the target painted with its targeting laser. |
- | *Optic Lock Fire and Forget with Mid Point Active Guidance | + | *//IR/UV/VL Semi-Active Guidance// |
- | *'Launch on Data' Fire and Forget with Optical and LIDAR Targeting | + | *A method in which the launching platform's sensors and fire control system serve as the the guidance system, using its sensors to designate a target and then launch the missile, tracking the weapon and using its own sensors to correct its course until impact. These course corrections are generally issued via directional communications. This method however requires the launching platform to have a continous line of sight on the target either directly or by proxy. |
+ | *//IR/UV/VL Active Guidance// | ||
+ | *This method involves the launching platform selecting a target using its optical systems and firing the missile, the missile then activates its own optical system using an electro-optical system to find the target. Then it employs three spectrums, consistently cross referencing these sensor images to reduce the effectiveness of active and passive electronic warfare methods. | ||
==== Warhead ==== | ==== 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. | + | The missile employs four primary warhead types, these are listed below and their designations are stenciled on the side of the missile or its container. |
- | ***Primary Warhead** | + | === High Explosive Dual Purpose Anti-Material (HEDP-AM) === |
- | ***Type -** Directional Solid Fuel Plasma, Narrow Jet, Typically Top or Side Attack | + | The most common type of warhead employed, the HEDP-AM is both an anti-material and anti-personnel weapon system utilizing a metallic hydrogen laser initiated fusion type explosive to produce a powerful blast. This warhead can employ either a proximity detonation using laser sensors, a contact detonation fuse, or a command detonation in which the launching platform sets it off on command. |
- | ***Purpose -** Anti-Ship, Anti-Installation, and Surface Attack | + | === Directional Plasma Dual Purpose Thermobaric (DPDP-T) === |
- | ***Area of Effect -** Point of Impact | + | A dual purpose light anti-tank weapon with a secondary thermobaric effects sleeve, the DPDP-T employs a directional plasma warhead. The primary warhead generates a short lived fusion reaction and employs a compression capacitor to produce a jet of hypervelocity high density plasma capable of penetrating up to 40mm of unshielded steel analogue. A secondary effect is a solid explosive fuel liner around the primary warhead and missile body which is vaporized by the primary detonation and will rapidly form a cloud around the detonation point, a few milliseconds after the primary explosion a specific electrical impulse is generated detonating this cloud in a thermobaric manner with roughly the yield of a 120mm HE mortar shell. |

- | ***Type -** Fusion-type Explosive Propelled Fragmentation Sleeve | + | |
- | ***Purpose -** Light Anti-Ship, Area Surface Attack, Anti-Strikecraft | + | |
- | ***Area of Effect -** Ovoid Fragmentation Pattern | + |
