Armageddon Based off the Original Hellfire AGM-114 missile system The Armageddon system is essentially the Hellfire AGM-114 missile with it's direct missile replaced and instead a thermoberic explosive. The system uses the the hellfire targeting system, body, and even the same compenants of the Hellfire with the exception of the internal bomb mechanism and components, as well as chemicals. Statistics-
Engine Solid-fuel rocket
Wingspan 13 in (33 cm)
Operational range 546 yd – 5 mi (500 m – 8 km)
Speed Mach 1.3 (950 mph; 425 m/s)
Guidance system Semi-active laser homing
millimeter wave radar seeker
Launch platform Rotary- and fixed-wing platforms, and ground vehicles

Details On The Enhanced Explosive The System replaces the HE 20 pound shaped charge with a thermobaric weapon systems, that essentially launches high powered solid fuel and disperses it over a wide area and then ignites it with an explosion, creating a much wider area of effect and and three explosive shock waves, one from the initial explosive, another from the air fuel mixture, and a third from a vacuum effect achieved by consuming all the oxygen in a given area so rapidly that the surrounding area rushes in and literally slams against each other so hard that the reaction caused from this generates a shock wave powerful enough to destroy things with sometimes greater strength than the air fuel mixture itself. This Thermoberic effect is achieved by combing two variations of nano particles of Aluminum powders, in laymans term a "large" granule and a "small" granule, mixed with liquid Ethylene oxide. This surrounds an RDX inside charge, which is roughly 10 pounds, and is set off by a quartz mechanic system running through the mechanism activated by an electrical charged being signaled through the quartz, activated both electronically by impact and physically be crushing the quartz, both releasing a charge powerful enough to set off the RDX. The RDX then explodes, and sends out the air fuel mixture which does not ignite due to the lack of oxygen, and the actively ignites when spread out far enough and the heat from the explosion is capable of igniting the material. Although the fuel-air mixture is less explosive than most modern explosives, it covers a large expanse of area, and burns at an extremely hot temperature and last for an extended period of time, close to 20 seconds, and close to incarcerates anything inside the initial area (roughly a 20 meter radius from the center) and the resulting shock wave has a similar effect of ammonium nitrate exploding for nearly 100 meters around the initial area of explosive. The Weapon can either be electrically set off before it hits a target, or upon impact of the target. The entire explosive materials weighs roughly 30 pounds, and is capable of destroying things within a 45 yard radius, nearly completely burning anything in a 60 yard radius, and cuasing a powerful destructive shock wave in a 100 yard radius. The entire event takes roughly 10 seconds to occur.
