Streak Short Range Missiles

From MechWarrior: Living Legends Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Streak SRMs, or SSRMs, are SRMs that have been upgraded with a guidance system.

Overview

Streak_SRM-2_Launcher

Streak SRMs can lock onto a target and autonomously follow it, while still allowing dumbfiring without a lock. However the spread of the dumbfired missile barrage is wider than with SRMs, easily causing the overall damage to spread out to multiple parts.

SSRM launchers with a D prefix denote a Dual launcher, which fire twice as much ordinance per volley as a comparable regular SSRM launcher. Only notable difference between Inner Sphere and Clan SSRMs is that Clan SSRMs have 100m more range.

Originally developed in 2647 by the Star League, the Streak SRM Launcher is relatively similar to the standard SRM launcher but incorporates a unique Targa-7 fire control system. This system consists of a multi-lens sensor linked to a microwave targeting laser and battle computer built in to the launcher. When activated the system fires multiple light pulses at the target, and if the sensor detects a positive return signal from 90% or more of the pulses the battle computer authorizes missile launch; once airborne the missiles receive constant telemetry updates from the system to ensure they hit their target. In contrast if the system does not receive sufficient feedback before firing to guarantee a hit it will prevent the missiles from launching. This special feature of the system prevents the weapon from firing at a target when there is no lock-on, saving ammunition by preventing shots that would otherwise miss.

Era Report 3062: Despite the nomenclature, both the long and short-range missile launchers in use on modern battlefields are wildly inaccurate. Because of this, they are noted ammunition hogs, and most missile boats, as support-oriented combat craft are called, are loaded down with ammunition. The Streak short-range missile of the Star League was a quantum-leap forward in SRM technology, despite being limited only to the smallest, two-tube launcher. The Clans, as with so much else, were finally able to adapt the Streak technology to the standard four- and six-tube models, and the Inner Sphere was quick to follow suit. First available from Guided Technologies in the Draconis Combine, the Streak SRM 4 and Streak SRM 6 launchers allow every flight of missiles fired to hit the target with every round, although the launchers are fifty percent heavier than standard short-range missile launchers.
