· Infrared seeking warhead
Description:
The A-16B Mk1 ‘Solar Flash’ Ion Pulse Missile is remarkably similar to the earlier model, the A-15A Surface-to-air Missile in terms of its launching and flight systems. For instance, the same small launch rocket engine is used to propel the missile from the launcher / tube until the point where it is a safe distance away and the primary solid rocket engine can take over.
Once the small launch rocket has detached from the main body of the missile and the solid rocket engines propel the package to the set target. This missile is capable of travelling at speeds of 3,000 kilometres per hour and at ranges of over 12 kilometres. This range is an improvement over the A-15A missile because of the reduced weight. The reasoning behind this reduced weight is because the missile has no need of the heavy tungsten rods of the A-15A variant.
The warhead of the A-16B missile is designed to release an Ion Pulse with an effective radius of roughly 15 meters when activated. Outside of the 15 meter radius may still be effected by the ion pulse, but it is unlikely to do any serious or long term damage to the system or equipment. The warhead is only one time use because when activated the included power pack is entirely used up in the singular pulse. The ion pulse is also likely to disable the missile’s own targeting mechanism, reducing its overall usefulness during combat. Like the A-15A missile, the A-16B uses an infrared seeking guidance system to detect and follow the targeted vehicle / aircraft. This makes the missile susceptible being tricked by simple countermeasures, such as flares.
An array of sensors surrounding the tip of the missile attempts to position the missile above the vehicle. Being atop of the targeted vehicle when the warhead is detonated and the ion pulse is activated allows for the highest amount of possible damage. This positioning of the missile will allow the ion pulse to have maximum efficiency as it is likely to disrupt / disable a higher amount of the vehicle’s systems (this will be dependent on the size of the targeted vehicle and any ion resistance included). With the potentially major systems disabled it is likely that the vehicle will be unresponsive, rendering it useless until repaired.
