Part of a series on TritonAerospace's lore. | designed to work with the ANNA Datalink Network.

Lore, use cases, and missile specifications are listed here!

Semi-Experimental, Semi-combat capable

Changelog

• Updated to AAM-33B-1 "Skybolt-R"
• Guidance Tuning
  
  
  
  • follows a shallower loft compared to Skybolt C-1 for the acceleration the RAMJet brings
  
  
• Integrated into ANNA
• Initial solid motor boost phase followed by RAMJet sustainer phase
  
  
  
  • Sustains at mach 4 when locked onto a target, and mach 1.75 when no targets are available (IOG)
  
  

Roadmap

AAM-33B-2

• more optimized guidance tuning
• depends on how everything plays out

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

1. DO NOT CLONE MISSILES. This causes an error inside Fire-Control that causes either multiple missiles to fire at once or none to fire at all.
2. WATCH OUT AFTER THE MISSILE FIRES. if it comes into contact with your aircraft after separation, it may detonate prematurely if fusing is activated while still in contact. This is a known issue on all weapons in the network, and is primarily user error.
