| 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. | 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.

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. | ||

| *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. | *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.

| 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. | 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.
