Aircraft That Use This FCS
This FCS was created for and deployed on aircraft created in and used during the later part of the 2040's. For more information on FCS, refer to the Missiles Resource.

Aircraft: SB-10 Starwing, QF-4000 Ghost
Variable Vehicles: VF-1X, VA-3, VB-6, VF-171, VF-19, VF-22, VF-25, VF-27, VF-31, Sv-262, Variable Guraaji

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: micro-missiles are never hardpoint mounted UNLESS if in some type of armoured launcher
COMBAT: +4 strike
- High-maneuverability Missiles: 3 actions, +6 to strike, +5 to dodge

Mark 77 Incendiary Bomb 1D6x100 SDC / melee 5~10 km 3 1 An air-dropped incendiary bomb 416 L of a fuel gel mix which is the direct successor to napalm. Burns for 4D4 melees. 1D3x100 outside of an atmosphere (the gel contains an oxidizing agent).

CBU-52 Cluster Bomb 1D6x10 MD per 10 m by 10 m area 5~10 km 3 3 Is loaded with 220 antimaterial, antipersonnel bomblets, that are spread over a 200 m by 400 m area.

CBU-71 Cluster Bomb Combined Effect Munitions 1D4x10 MD per 10 m by 10 m area 5~10 km 3 3 The CBU-71 is loaded with 650 BLU-68/B incendiary submunitions. The bomblet has two separate kill mechanisms, one fragmentation, the other incendiary. Both incorporate a time delay fuze, which detonates at random times after impact. The bomblets are spread over a 300 m by 500 m area.

CBU-72 Thermobaric (Fuel/Air Explosive) Bomb 1D4x100 MD to 100 m. 5~10 km 3 1 Very effective against armored vehicles, aircraft parked in the open, bunkers, and minefields. Flattens the entire area of its blast radius. If bomb cannot properly mix explosive with air (due to high winds, etc.) or is used in low air environments, the blast is only 1D10% of the normal amount. Ineffective outside of an atmosphere.

CBU-87 Cluster Bomb Combined Effect Munitions 1D4x10 MD per 10 m x 10 m area 5~10 km 1 3 It is for attacking soft target areas with detonating bomblets - the BLU-97/B Combined Effects Bomb (CEB) -effective against armor, personnel and material- contains a shaped charge, scored steel casing and zirconium ring for anti-armor, fragmentation and incendiary capability. Its 202 bomblets over a 200 m by 400 m area.

CBU-89/B Gator 1D4x10 SD to 3 m (AP) or 1D6x10 MD to 10 m (AT) per mine 5~10 km 5 1 The GATOR system provides a means to emplace minefields on the ground rapidly using high-speed tactical aircraft. The minefields are used for area denial, diversion of moving ground forces, or to immobilize targets to supplement other direct attack weapons. It drops 72 anti-tank mines and 22 anti-personnel over a 200 m by 650 m area. When it is used in conjunction with the Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser guidance tail kit, it become a precision-guided munition designated as CBU-104.

AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon A: 1D4x10 MD per 10 m x 10 m
C: 8D12x10 to 120 m 22 (low release) to 130 km (high release) 5 1 A standardized medium range precision guided weapon, especially for engagement of defended targets from outside the range of standard anti-aircraft defenses.
AGM-154A - launches 145 BLU-97/B Combined Effects Bomb submunitions. See CBU-87.
AGM-154C - uses an Imaging Infrared (IIR) terminal seeker with autonomous guidance. Designed to attack hardened targets.

Reaction Warhead Bomb see RMS-7 Anti-Ship Reaction Missile 22 (low release) to 130 km (high release) 20 1 Approximately half the size of an RMS-7 Large Anti-ship Missile. They can be remotely detonated or set with a time delay (maximum 60 minutes) to detonate after the launch vehicle has retreated. Note: variable yield - lower yeilds are possible down to 10% of maximum by reducing the multiplier correspondingly; blast radius is also reduced by the same factor.

Special
LGB (40K)

External Fuel Tank

The tanks are used to extend the cruising range, and are dropped when the vehicle enters combat.
With thermonuclear turbine engine equipped vehicles, each external tank carries half the reactant fuel needed to reach orbit. The vehicle runs off of its external fuel tanks until entering combat, thereby enabling the craft to retreat to orbit after combat has concluded.

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

The following ECM and ECCM equipment can be mounted on hardpoints. Refer to Airborne Control and ECM/ECCM Devices for details.

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