 The S-500KM 'Asper' is a medium range (by Pact air and space combat standards) missile intended as a mid-range stand off fire and forget missile launched from strikecraft. However its size and weight have seen it pressed into the surface to air, surface to space, point defense, and light ship to ship roles.

+=== Armor and Structure ===
+  ***Structure**\\ The Asper's construction is effectively a stretched version of the S-850TU 'Atrop' Short Range Surface/Air to Air Missile (SRSAAM)'s construction using a Valadyne casing combined with an interior Kylar Polymer webbing to increase strength and keep weight down. It also employs the same Cerrosteel thermal ablative coating to combat thermal stresses on the missile during flight. As with the Atrop the Asper also employs a preformed Decasteel fragmentation warhead in the forward section of the missile.

+  ***Active Protection**\\ The missile employs an active [[colonial_pact:technologies:cfa_type_shield|CFA-Type]] shield system for general protection against interception and battlefield conditions, it has a failure point of 85.84 Gj and comes online once the missile has been launched.

+  ***Propulsion**\\ The missile employs a single cylindrical [[colonial_pact:technologies:listm|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 [[colonial_pact:technologies:colonial_pact_common_callenite_energy_capacitor_ccec|CCEC type]] capacitors linked to a small 'beer' can sized [[colonial_pact:technologies:colonial_pact_common_fission_thermal_battery_cftb|CFTB Type]] fission system, effectively giving the MRSAAM 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 ====
 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 eight 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.

     *An indirect attack method in which the launching platform fires the weapon on a data set from another platform's sensors, the weapon being uploaded with a specific threat target and a set of coordinates where the target will be. Once launched the weapon is 'fire and forget' using its own onboard sensor systems and data-links to find its way to the target.

+**(1.127 Gigatons Nominal Yield for direct KKV Impact - Vacuum Velocity Only)**\\
 The Asper employs a kinetic kill methodology with three primary impact options depending on both the launching vehicles setting parameters as well as the missiles own adaptive programming. The first and primary method is the simple 'skin skin' kinetic kill in which the missile directly impacts the target using its own mass and speed to destroy it. Typically fantastic in result in both the size of the vapor cloud and the resulting fragmentation it is often used against larger targets. The second and third method are fragmentation based with one employing a forward oriented conical pattern and the other simply reducing the entire missile body into a cloud of fragments. While lower in mass and resulting damage it dramatically increases the hit chance against small and or fast moving targets.
