Propellant Weapons
Effi cient in all environments, combustible
propellant is used in everything from pistols to
large artillery. Named after the engineer and
the lab that developed the fi rst deployable
propellant system, the Harkon-Lucet Propellant
system (HLP) is today’s battlefi eld standard.
The HLP system is a disposable magazine that
contains three components: a case-less projectile,
unmixed gel in two separate chambers, and a
battery. When the weapon is fi red, a piston in
the magazine mixes the two-stage propellant.
Once mixed, an electrical current ignites the
mixture creating an explosive chemical reaction
that ejects the round. HLP weapons also do well
in the rate of fi re category. Single barrel systems
are capable of maintaining rates of fi re around
500-650 rounds per minute. Multiple rotary
barrel and multiple fi ring chamber systems can
reach rates of fi re upwards of 5000 rounds per
minute.

Missile Systems
Modern day missile systems fall into three
general categories: direct, indirect, and cruise.
Direct-fi re missiles, such as the systems found
on most CAVs, are small but deadly. They
sacrifi ce a large warhead in exchange for
speed and targeting capabilities. When a wizzo
gives the missile its launch order, he simply
designates the target and deploys the missile.
The missile’s internal targeting system evaluates
terrain and other threats to determine the best
path to the target and the point where the target
is most vulnerable.
Indirect-fi re missiles are much larger than their
direct-fi re brothers and require constant control
by their wizzo to ensure an accurate on-target
delivery. Their size allows for multi-warhead
delivery systems to rain shrapnel and concussive
force down on everything in their blast radius.
Cruise missiles are easily the biggest threat facing
any force on the modern battlefi eld. Capable of
delivering a wide array of munitions including
atomic bombs, cruise missiles are a very high
priority target. Cruise missiles are capable of
sustained nap of the Earth fl ight and are agile
enough to take advantage of most terrain to
cover their approach. Their targeting systems are
on par with those of any CAV and allow them
to avoid enemy units until they have acquired
their target.
