AGM-1000 Xa Thunderbolt HSLAM

A simple build I made. This is missile is intended to be the successor of the massive AGM-666 Ballista X HSLAM. I don't think this one is to scale; it would be around 5.5 meters to 6 meters in length. It has a range of 750 nautical miles and a cruising speed of about Mach 6.2. It can carry a conventional warhead as large as 850lbs or a nuclear or antimatter warhead of an equivalent size. It could also be equipped with a depleted uranium or a tungsten armor-piercing nose in place of a warhead. It is equipped with advanced radar systems, and it is extremely accurate. It has the capability of striking specific parts of ships or other enemy units as small as a Humvee. The Thunderbolt is also capable of autonomous targeting, and it has the ability to coordinate strikes with other AGM-1000s on enemy forces, somewhat similar to the P700 Granit, although it is more sophisticated in this missile. The controls are simple; throttle for throttle, etc.


The AGM-1000 Mod. 2 is equipped with an upgraded software that causes it to make random in-flight course changes to throw off interceptors, whether the missile is on a linear or ballistic trajectory.


Unit cost is approximately $4.2 million.
