PRODUCTION INFORMATION​

• Manufacturer: Breshig War Forge Consolidated.
• Affiliation: Breshig War Forge Consolidated and Strill Securities.
• Material: Duranium frame, reflec laced fiberplast, duraplast reinforcements and missile parts.

SPECIAL FEATURES​

• Explosive Type:
  • 8x AM-02 Anti-personnel Mine or
  • 2x G/EM-01 Gravity/Electromagnetic Mine or
  • 2x ASM-01 Anti-vehicle Seismic Mine or
  • 4x 'Haa'yam'ika' Deployable Sensor Beacon or
  • 1z MM-01R Micro-missile Mine or
  • Equivalent numbers of similar devices.
• Baradium Self-destruct Micro-charge.
• Targeting Mode(s):
  • Surface-to-Surface: Surface-to-surface targeting mode covers engaging of targets on the ground by ground-based launch platforms.
• Guidance Mode(s):
  • Smart Mining:
    • Pre-launch: The missile downloads terrain information and positional data of both friendly and hostile forces from the launch platform.
    • Launch: The missile acquires a sensor lock on target and begins accelerating toward the target.
    • Midcourse: Using active sensor and scanner data from its own sensors he missile ascertains where and over what distance to disperse its payload to cause maximum damage to hostiles present. If the missile has no mines loaded that can damage targets present or if none are present, it will instead calculate a solution that will disperse the mines in a manner that could cause maximum damage to the mines' intended targets.
    • Terminal: The missile will release the mines evenly over the dispersal distance at the dispersal position and then self destruct.
  • Pre-programmed Mining:
    • Pre-launch: The missile downloads terrain information, positional data of both friendly and hostile forces, dispersal position and distance from the launch platform.
    • Launch: The missile accelerates toward the dispersal position.
    • Midcourse: Using active sensor and scanner data from its own sensors, the missile will ascertain how best to disperse the mines based on the parameters given.
    • Terminal: The missile will release the mines evenly over the dispersal distance at the dispersal position and then self destruct.
  • Waypoint Smart Mining: The missile follows a set of waypoints and then carries out the smart mining protocol from the midcourse phase on.
  • Waypoint Pre-programmed Mining: The missile follows a set of waypoints to the pre-programmed dispersal position and then carries out the pre-programmed mining protocol from the midcourse phase on.
  • Sensor Beacon Dispersal: The sensor beacon dispersal protocol is a subfunction of the other protocols. When loaded with a sensor beacon, smart mining protocol will instead calculate to scatter the pods where they have the maximum coverage without any gaps.
• Propulsion and Maneuvering:
  • TibannaX burning IR suppressed thrust trace dampened vectral equipped ion-atmospheric hybrid drive w/ scramjet booster
  • Etheric rudder(s)
• Security:
  • Tamper Detection: Any attempt to reprogram the missile including through the use of Mechu Deru and similar abilities will result in the missile either triggering a micro-ion charge to fry its own circuits.
• Defenses:
  • Combat De-ionizer
• Communications Suite:
  • Encryption/Decryption Suite
    • Comm Unit Scrambler
    • Communication Wave Descrambler
    • Encryption Module
  • Location Spoofing/Scrambling:
    • Ion Scrambler
  • Communications Suite: When connected to compatible systems, the communication suite is an auto-negotiating, frequency hopping system with a self-modulating encryption key, making it extremely resistant to jamming and interception. The comm-lasers can mimic this by rapidly shifting their broadcast spectrum.
    • Comm Unit
    • Comm Laser

STRENGTHS​

• Modular Payload: The mines come from the factory pre-loaded with various mines manufactured by the company, but they can be replaced with other mines manufactured by the company or its affiliates.
• Jammer/Countermeasure Resistant: The missile uses a composite sensor picture generated by cross checking data from its array of advanced sensors, scanners and tracking systems. This, combined with the countermeasures compensation computer drastically reduces the missiles vulnerability to jammers and countermeasures.
• Missile Deactivation Transmitter Immune: Once armed and active, there is no way to shut off the missile. Missile deactivation transmitters therefore cannot shut off the missile once it has been launched.
• Low Profile: With a reflec laced fiberplast exterior, etheric rudders and an IR suppressed thrust trace dampened vectral-equipped ion-atmospheric hybrid drive burning TibannaX, the missile has a very low sensor signature, especially when performing a magnetically accelerated cold launch.
• Excellent Sensors, Scanners and Tracking: The missile possesses a wide variety of sensors, scanners and tracking systems, giving it a fantastic ability to detect and track targets.
• Fast and Nimble: The missile has both the speed and maneuverability to effectively engage nimble ground targets, such as repulsor craft.
• Resilient: The missile's frame allows it to weather light point-defense fire and direct-attack countermeasures.

WEAKNESSES​

• Operator Error: It is on the operator's onus to load mines appropriate for engaging the targets present in the dispersal area, should any be present.
• EMP/Ion: Though well protected against EMP and Ion damage, should any damage bypass its defenses, the missile's electronics would likely be fried.
• Range: The variant of dust used in these missiles has maximum transmission range of 3 kilometers, past that point, it is only useful if the user has an optical system with the correct EM filter that can distinguish objects at that range.
• Big Target: While difficult to detect and target, the missile is large making it that much easier to neutralize with AoE weapons such as flak batteries.

DESCRIPTION​

The Vhey Birikad-class Brilliant Mine Dispersal Missile or mine carrier in basic was designed to be able to give troops remote mining capability. The missile makes use of the newer missile framework, making it resilient, fast, agile, low profile, resistant to jamming and countermeasures and immune to missile deactivation transmitters. While these qualities didn't quite aid it in its task of laying mines or sensor beacons, it did make such maneuvers carried out less likely to be noticed while under the observation of hostile troops. The missile has two modes to let the operator have as much or as little control about the placement pattern of the mines as they would like. That said, loading mines appropriate for engaging the operator's intended target is on their onus. The missile is unremarkable compared to other missiles using the newer framework by comparison in other regards. The market is not saturated with remote mining capabilities and so the company is confident this missile will see plenty of sales as well as prove to be useful to Strill Securities.​
