GSM.38 Jupiter Heavy Anti-Shipping Missile
Design and Testing
The GSM.38 is known to have been requested as early as 1997, as a competitor to the Khan Class Missile developed by ZMI. The missile is quite similar in specifications, with the GSM.38 being slightly larger, only to match Artitsan VLS standards. The missile is designed for the same role; To devestate enemy capital and super capital vessels in a single shot. The ability to directly compare it to the Khan has allowed improvements in several aspects including range, survivability, killing power, and Intelligence.
Propulsion
The GSM.38 uses several seperate propulsion systems built by the renowned Nolan-Petyav Aerospace Propulsion Industries. These engines are incredibly advanced in comparison, allowing for better Fuel Effeciency and performance, increasing both range and velocity.
Stage 1: This cold launch system allows for rapid deployment, and prevents any thermal damage to surrounding structures. Designed to simply push the missile up and away from its launch platform.
Stage 2: Used to propel the missle to an altitude which would allow the RAMjet to perform effectively.
Stage 3: The rocket uses a pulse-detonation system to achieve an appropriate speed for the RAMjet to kick in. This stage is used for the majority of the flight time.
Stage 4: The terminal phase, the SCRAMjet achieves an incredibly high-speed before dropping too low to the surface, when the Pulse-Detonation system kicks in.
Survivability
Survivability comes in the form of two different packages. The first is the Physical Package. This package revolves around the missiles fantastic agility. This agility comes in the form of its Mission Adaptive Skin and Active Aeroelastic Wings which reduce and resolve any G-Force strains along the body and control surfaces. What gives the missile its agility, are the rotating canards, forward thrust nozzles, and 3D Thrust Vectoring giving the GSM.38 the ability to dodge, jink, and perform hairpin maneuvers to avoid CIWS and Defensive-Missile Fire at incredibly high-speeds. The missile is capable of sustaining over 15G's and -7g's.
