Background

Federation

The M166 Nomad HKKM (Hypersonic Kinetic Kill Missile) is a Federation anti-tank missile system designed by Imparis to defeat tanks and other individual targets. Instead of using a High Explosive Anti-Tank warhead like other anti-tank missiles, the Nomad deployed a kinetic energy penetrator to punch through armor. The HKKM is fairly light and was designed to be mounted onto a Humvee while allowing the vehicle to remain air-portable.

Several vehicles were studied to mount the system, including the front-runner M3 Terrier as well as the M8A4 Mastiff. However, in order to reduce costs and improve air mobility, HKKM eventually emerged on an Humvee with a hard-top containing four HKKMs ready to fire, along with a trailer containing another eight rounds in two-round packs. The new guidance system could keep two missiles in flight to separate targets, allowing the vehicle to salvo fire its weapons against a tank squadron in a few seconds. Reaching speeds of Mach 6.8, HKKM was in the air from launch to maximum range in less than 3 seconds, making counter-fire extremely difficult. The range was beyond that of existing main tank guns (11km), allowing the HKKM to fire and move before tanks could maneuver into a position to return fire.
