Armor and Structure
Structure
The micro missile casing consists of a spun Kylar Polymer shell reinforced by rings of Valadyne. Its outer shell is also coated in a thin lacquer of Cerrosteel composite primarily as a atmospheric ablative material.
Propulsion and Powerplant
Propulsion and Powerplant
The V100N employs a LISTM of a small diameter as its drive system, a thermal/radio conversion sleeve along the motor's length as serves as the primary powersource of the missile converting the fusion's waste heat and stray rads into electrical power. This system is electrically initiated by the launch weapon or platform when the missile is fired.

V100N 'Voz' Micro Missile

A guided missile system built to the scale of most common 40 to 50mm grenade launching systems, the V100N 'Voz' is of the 'micro' missile class and sees use in a variety of roles. From secondary anti-material weapon for infantry, to a point defense hard kill missile system for vehicles. Primarily however it is employed as a primary guided munition by power armor and exo-suit equipped infantry.

The appearance of the missile is a lot like the grenade systems it was made to emulate, consisting of a fat cylindrical body. At the front is the primary optical seeker head, at the back is the maneuvering nozzle capable of magnetically steering the missile exhaust. For atmospheric steering the missile features eight pop out dagger like fins.

General Information

This section covers the more general information of the Voz micro missile.

Storage State and Use

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.

Guidance and Control Options

Guidance and Control System

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.

  • SALH (Semi-Active Laser Homing)
    • 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.
  • IR/UV/VL Semi-Active Guidance
    • 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

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.

High Explosive Dual Purpose Anti-Material (HEDP-AM)

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.

Directional Plasma Dual Purpose Thermobaric (DPDP-T)

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.
