OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create an anti-lock jammer that counters missile tracking and targeting technology.
- Image Source: N/A
- Canon Link: N/A
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Roble Manufacturing
- Affiliation: Closed-Market
- Model: RAAM-M3 Tactical Anti-Ordnance Jammer.
- Modularity: The power and range of the RAAM can be enhanced depending on a ship's sensor array system.
Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Electronics, Code, Standard Sensor Array Systems
- The RAAM creates a null-lock void around a ship in a rough bubble shape, which has a variety of effects on enemy targeting systems.
- The RAAM null-lock area tricks missile targeting systems into thinking they've contacted the ship's hull, causing the missile to detonate early.
- For missiles and other tracking ordnances that do not have computer-assisted detonation, the anti-targeting field created by the RAAM acts in a way similar to a magnetic field, repelling missile tracking systems.
- The null-lock bubble projected around the ship makes it harder for missile targeting systems to acquire a lock on target the further they are away from the ship.
- Try to Hit This: The RAAM-M3 Tactical Ordnance Jammer inhibits a missile lock-on from either starfighters or starships the further the attacking ship is away from the defending ship.
- Not Missile Attractive: The RAAM creates a null-lock bubble around the ship. Missiles that use targeting technology to detonate it's warhead are confused into thinking they've hit the hull when in reality they've only projected the jammer 'bubble' causing the missile to detonate early with little effect.
- Repulsive: The null-lock bubble created around the ship by the RAAM will actually, to an extent, 'repel' inbuilt targeting systems of a missile in a similar way to magnetic repulsion.
- Dumb-Fired: The RAAM offers no protection against dumb-fired missiles or ordnance.
- They're Closer: It is easier for enemy targeting systems to lock onto a ship the closer that the two ships are. This lowers the effectiveness of the RAAM at closer distances.
- Overwhelmed: The null lock bubble can be overwhelmed by a large amount of missiles in a short amount of time. This means that a ship with the RAAM-M3 is not effectively impervious to all types of missile delivery systems.
Designed to be a more in-depth anti-missile system than their initial shielding creation, Roble Manufacturing created the RAAM-M3 Tactical Ordnance Jammer as an electronic means of distorting and interrupting common means of targeting systems, both inbuilt into a missile delivery system and in a missile launcher. More viable the further away the attacking ship is from the defender, it's primary function is creating a 'bubble' around the ship that interferes with any targeting system trying to lock onto the ship's signature.
