Description:
The HELRAAM is a beyond visual range missile intended to allow starfighter pilots to fire and forget. It is equipped with its own active radar that will be activated moments after being fired from the starcraft and will carry the information provided by the firing starcraft in order to intercept its target. It also is equipped with software that can detect when it is being jammed. If it detects that it is being jammed it will switch from active radar to passive homing and home in on the jamming signal of the offending starcraft.

It is intended to engage starfighters, bombers, small shuttles and gunships. Anything larger would require a bigger missile.

Classification: Starfighter Missile
Length: 3.2 meters
Weight: 132 Kilograms
Ordnance Type: Baradium Warhead

[member="Ryan Korr"] - Approved as a standard warhead (i.e. equivalent to a standard proton torpedo in blast yield), with the extra length meaning it requires specialized launchers/hardpoints and can't be crammed into existing ships with vanilla 'warhead launchers.'

Approved.
