SGM-series Burst Missile

The SGM-series ballistic burst missile is a burst missile designed to be housed and launched from space-based naval vessels. They are currently located on AcDragonian Missile Destroyers, Battleships and the Hyperion. The Hyperion carries a more advanced version of the SGM-series. The SGM-series of burst missiles has lower range than land-based variants but due to the nature of them are far more prevalent and can be deployed far more readily. There isn't much difference in terms of fire power between the SGM and the LGM-series of missiles because unlike nuclear weapons they serve a different role.
The SGM-series of ballistic missiles currently has 3 variants.
== SGM-110A variant ==
The SGM-110A variant of the burst missile is the first version of the burst missile to see actual production and use. The original burst missile concept was to keep it as a ship launched weapon for use against planetbound targets however it's effectiveness spurred the creation of the LGM-series of missiles for use as the designated AcDragonian super weapon. The 110A uses a Mk.14 Dionyses-Alberta solid-fueled rocket to reach out and touch targets at about 13,600 miles. This missile is also equipped with an Astro-intertial guidance system in order to keep it on target as the launch platforms are not fixed. The 110A's payload consists of 12 warheads each detonating with 2kt of TNT. It is comparable in power to a very small tactical nuclear weapon. The limited number of warheads limit the distance with which the weapon can be detonated above ground as it runs the risk of creating deadzones in the coverage meaning some targets may either survive an initial blast or not be affected altogether. This weapon was solely used on the Hyperion as AcDragonia had no ships capable of fielding these missiles until later.
== SGM-112A variant ==
== SGM-142B variant ==
The SGM-142B variant of the burst missile is a missile developed in 2635 that is slated to replace the SGM-112A variants in the AcDragonian space navy. Currently only the Hyperion is armed with the 142B. The 142B variant has several marked improvements over the previous models, mainly it's of a completely redesigned missile body. The 142B variant of the missile is sleeker, weighs less and is more durable which allows it to make use of the standard rocket engines without putting intolerable stress on the body of the missile. This reduction in weight is also key to the main change of the missile which is the mounting 60% more hardpoints for warheads as the 112A variant. The combined weight of the additional warheads themselves added on to the increased weight of the individual warheads as a whole means the missile actually weigh close to the 112A model but has a vastly more lethal killzone. The increase in warheads allow the missile to be, if needed, detonated higher above the ground which would allow the warheads to spread out over a larger area while still saturating the area with far less dead zones.
The total explosive yield of just one 142B missile is 240kt of TNT, which is actually on par or just slightly lower than some fielded nuclear weapons. Although it has surpassed the yields of some nuclear weapons it will never be able to bring forth the sheer destructive force of city devastators. While there have been drawn up plans for burst missiles with up to 128 warheads for the LGM series, such a suggestion hasn't been considered for the SGM series.
