Aircraft That Use This FCS

This FCS was created for and deployed on aircraft created in and used during the 2000's and the first part of the 2010's. For more information on FCS, refer to the Missiles Resource.

Armaments for Russian aircraft is indicated with an R in the following, and is presumed to be incompatible with the armaments for the Unified Forces (and vice versa).

Micro-missiles

These are little more then a heat or infrared guided warhead, rocket motor, and vernier jets. They are always carried inside of some type of internal launcher or external container, and fired in volleys. They are launched only within visual range, and usually run out of fuel if their attack fails.

• ATTACKS: 3 (missiles travel approximately 2 to 2.5 km per attack)
• PAYLOAD: varies (micro-missiles are never hardpoint mounted UNLESS if in some type of armoured launcher)
• COMBAT: +4 strike (+6 high-maneuverability missiles)

Mk 11 Depth Charge	1D4x100 to 3 m	5~10 km; 8 km depth	1	3	Used in conjunction with an ASW helicopter's dipping sonar to locate enemy submersibles. Using helicopters for ASW operations saves putting the more vulnerable warships into the line of fire.
Mk 36 Destructor Mine	1D6x10 to 30 m	5~10 km	1	3	When dropped on land, they bury themselves in the ground on impact, ready to be actuated by military equipment, motor vehicles and personnel. When dropped in rivers, canals, channels, and harbors, they lie on the bottom ready to be actuated by a variety of vessels including war ships, freighters, coastal ships, and small craft.
Mk 62 Quick Strike Mine	1D6x10 to 30 m	5~10 km	1	3	An aircraft-laid bottom mines for use against submarines and surface targets. All mines have the capability of making arming-delay, sterilization, self-destruct, and other operational settings.
Mk 41 Destructor Mine	8D12x10 to 120 m	5~10 km	1	3	See Mk 36 Destructor Mine description.
Mk 64/Mk 65 Quickstrike Mine	8D12x10 to 120 m	5~10 km	1	3	See Mk 62 Quick Strike Mine description.
Mk 46 Torpedo	1D4x10 to 25 m	11 km to max 365.8 m depth	1	1	A lightweight anti-submarine warfare torpedo. These aerial torpedoes are designed to attack high-performance submarines. Speed: 74.1 kmph.
Mk 50 Advanced Lightweight Torpedo	1D4x10 to 25 m	15 km, max 580 m depth	1	3	For use against fast, deep-diving submarines. It can be launched from all anti-submarine aircraft and from torpedo tubes aboard surface combatant ships. Speed: 46 kmph.
Sting Ray Lightweight Torpedo	1D4x10 to 5 m	11 km, max 800 m depth	1	3	An acoustic homing (fire-and-forget) light-weight torpedo capable of being carried and launched from either a helicopter or a ship. Speed: 83 kmph.
Mk 52 Mine	4D6x10 to 60 m	5~10 km	1	3	An aircraft-laid bottom mine. It is an influence mine specifically designed to actuate on submarine signatures, although it is also equally effective against most surface ship signatures.
Mk 55 Mine	8D12x10 to 120 m	5~10 km	5	1	An aircraft-laid bottom mine. It is an influence mine specifically designed to actuate on submarine signatures, although it is also equally effective against most surface ship signatures.
Mk 56/57 Mine	2D6x10 to 30 m	5~10 km	1	3	An aircraft-laid moored mine, designed specifically for effectiveness against high-speed and deep-operating submarines. The MK 57 is similar to the MK 56 in its mission, however, it is a submarine laid moored mine.
Mk 60 CAPTOR (EnCAPsulated TORpedo Mine)	See Mk 46 torpedo	5~10 km	3	1	This deep-water mine is laid by ship, aircraft or submarine, and is anchored to the ocean floor. When its sonar detects a hostile submarine, the CAPTOR launches a Mark 46 torpedo.

Special

External Fuel Tank

• LOCATION: innermost hardpoints
• ADDITIONAL RANGE:
  • non-thermonuclear turbine equipped vehicles: approximately 500 km additional cruising range per tank
  • thermonuclear turbine equipped vehicles: half the reactant fuel needed to reach orbit

ECM and ECCM Pods

Note: non-Electronic Warfare designated craft (E.g.: VF-1) can only operate 2 ECM and/or ECCM pods at the same time. The FCS of these non-EW craft simply cannot handle more than 2 at the same time.

• AN/ALE-55 FOTD (Fiber-optic Towed Decoy)
• AN/ALQ-220 A OASIS (Organic Airborne and Surface Influence Sweep)

• AN/ALQ-167 EW Training Pods
• Frequency Band Device
• ALQ-199 Tactical Noise Jamming Device
• ALQ-200 Multi-Band Track Breaker
• AN/ALQ-218 Tactical Jamming Receiver

Optional

Multi-warhead Self-Directing Cruise Missile

It is also used on reconnaissance-in-force missions.

Based on a non-official setting design rejected during the production of Macross Zero.
