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

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