It is not likely to see service until 2019-2020. It can use existing VLS that use the S-500-E.

Space to Space / Space to Ground Missiles[]

SGM-1 Ladybird[]

This deceptively innocent-sounding weapon is in fact a 1,800kg space-to-ground missile. Using a highly advanced inertial guidance system enhanced with LIDAR terrain contour matching and a digital scene-mapping area correlator system the missile will eventually have an accuracy of less than 10 meters circular area probable. Its accuracy can further be augmented through the addition of a GLONASS system. It is designed to carry a single unitary nuclear warhead.


SGM-2 Aphid[]

Development from the SGM-1. The SGM-2 Aphid is a slightly heavier missile which upon entering the atmosphere breaks apart to release five independently targeting submunitions, each with its own propulsion, seeker and warhead. This way a single Aphid missile can strike at five targets within a single weapons box simultaneously.


SGM-3 Leafhopper[]

Missile with radar-defeating characteristics. Under development.


SIM-120 Weevil[]

At 160kg and with a length of 3.9 meters the Weevil is a light missile intended for point defense in space. It carries a 25kg high explosive blast fragmentation warhead and is guided toward its target by active radar. Its delta-V is limited by its relatively small supply of rocketfuel, and it is therefore considered a point-defence weapon for orbiting spacecraft. The SIM-120 can be used against both satellites, orbiters and incoming projectiles.


SIM-147 Fiddler[]

Developed from the AIM-54 Phoenix missile once carried by the F-111, the SIM-147 is a 480kg heavy space intercept missile. Launched by spacecraft in orbit, it is designed to swat enemy satellites or orbiters out of the skies. The Fiddler is armed with a 60kg high explosive blast fragmentation warhead and like its atmospheric counterpart has an extremely prodigious reach. It is equipped with active homing radar and a passive LWIR seeker for target acquisition.


SIM-151 Whitefly[]

The SIM-151 Whitefly hard-impact point-defense missile is an integral part of the Starshark orbiter defense system, a small diameter missile that can be carried by orbiters in standardized racks independent from the main bomb bay. The SIM-151 is designed explicitly to engage and defeat or deflect incoming missiles that target the orbiter in low earth orbit. It has little to no aerodynamic properties, but is highly manoeuverable in a relative vacuum.

Naval Munitions[]

Naval Gun Systems[]

Kontos Munitions/Byzantine Heavy Industries Electro-Thermal Chemical dual 30mm gun with BRAM-1 missiles[]

New shipbourne defence system that uses high kinetic energy 30mm rounds to defend a ship from a variety of threats, from anti-ship missiles, to small craft. Equipped with a small AESA radar similar to that used for the gun/missile system that utilizes the S-500-A missiles, the system fires a variety of rounds that is pre-selected by a controller. Rounds include armor piercing rounds, high fragmentation rounds that release a cloud of shrapnel to destroy missiles, and high explosive rounds. The gun has an electro-optic sensor to allow for manual targeting.

BRAM-1 missiles used are a derivative of the S-500-A missiles with slightly different aerodynamics to allow it to roll. The missile does not use the same seeker, but rather instead an dual nitrogen cooled IR seeker and active radar seeker instead. The missile can receive further guidance from the radar while in flight.

Byzantine Heavy Industries Dual Electrothermal-Chemical 152mm Gun[]

Based on the Koalition-SV gun concept, the dual gun Electrothermal-Chemical 152mm gun is water-cooled and uses ETC liquid propellant technology together with rocket propelled rounds to allow the gun to hit targets more than 100km range away.

Torpedoes[]

UGST II [mainstay heavy torpedo family of several calibers][]

A newer torpedo with an updated dual mode passive/active sonar and wake following seeker, the use of new processing technologies increased the resolution of the dual mode seeker. Further improvements to the torpedo shape and engines make this already deadly torpedo even more deadly thanks to increased silencing and stealth characteristics. There are 3 versions available, with 3 different diameters.

Gun Systems[]

125/120/140mm Byzantine Electro-Thermal Chemical Guns[]

Developed through the 90s, the guns were developed to keep up with the armor race against Japanistan. With Explosive Reactive Armor capable of stopping most 120mm rounds, it was imperative to develop a new more powerful gun to deliver high Kinetic Energy Rounds. The Electro-Thermal Chemical Guns were a product of that development. Utlizing liquid propellants and a plasma igniter, the 120mm gun delivers at least 17MJ of energy. Newer guns are expected to use more powerful liquid propellants and a more efficient plasma igniter to deliver a stronger impulse.  The 140mm gun was designed specifically for the B-3 Black Tiger tank, and it can fire both 120/125mm and 140mm rounds. Newer rounds to take full advantage of the ETC guns have begun entering service, and these can fire the 8km long range rocket propelled ammunition, or LRRP guided ammunition. Newer LRRPs will feature 12-16km range to take full advantage of the radars mounted on the tanks.

Rocket Artillery Systems[]

SMERCH 300mm Guided Rocket Precision System[]

It is proposed that instead of introducing a new rocket caliber, we instead improve the guidance systems of the existing SMERCH 300mm rockets. Proposed improvements include a new high precision inertial guidance system and GLONASS guidance system. Wide variety of warheads will be available, including densed inert metal explosive. Recommendation to mount the system onto two platforms, one with 12 rounds, and the other 6. More recent updates include an chip scale atomic gyroscope that offers unprecedented long range precision.

BM-30 Smerch family of rockets:


  • 9M55K 300mm guided rocket projectile with frag warhead
  • 9M55F 300mm guided rocket projectile with HE-frag warhead
  • 9M528 300mm guided rocket projectile with HE-frag warhead (90 km range)
  • 9M55K1 300mm guided rocket projectile with 5 separating active guided HEAT RVs, each RV carrying 15kg of explosives
  • 9M55K4 300mm guided rocket projectile for setting up minefields; each rocket carries 25 anti-tank mines, a barrage - 300 anti-tank mines. For operative minefield deployment.
  • 9M55K5 300mm guided rocket projectile with cumulative armor-piercing cluster munitions; 646 per rocket and 10336 per salvo. Against lightly armored vehicles and infantry on march.
  • 9M55S 300mm guided rocket with thermobaric warhead. Each warhead creates a 25m square, 1000 degree C fireball for 1,4 seconds
  • UAV 300mm guided rocket; each rocket deploys a flying UAV for recon purposes, the UAV has an autonomy for 20 minutes
