Weapons Direction Console

The Torpedo System console allows tactical specialists to manage firing solutions, launch and tracking of torpedoes.

Panels

The conole consists of two panels:

Firing Solutions TL-WDR01

This console provides firing solution calculators that allow operators to analyse the optimal conditions for torpedo launch and allows torpedo search parameters to be configured.

Torpedo Launch Procedure

Torpedo launch procedure consists of two phases. First a torpedo must be configured, assembled and fueled, then it must be loaded into a launch tube and launch parameters set.

TL-WDR02 Torpedo System Panel

 This panel allows torpedoes to be loaded into firing tubes, launched and tracked until prosecution. It includes two modules: torpedo load and torpedo flight status.

Torpedo Load

The status of two firing tubes can be displayed on the panel at once. Additional tubes are selectable from the monitor buttons (9) at the right of the tube status modules.

Weapons Direction

Weapons direction involves the management of torpedo flight from launch through to successful prosecution (a hit on the target). 

Torpedo System

The torpedo system manages the vessel’s primary weapons system.

Weapons Direction

Management of a torpedo’s flight, including selecting the optimal launch conditions (velocity, range, heading) for successful prosecution.

Torpedo Firing Solutions

A firing solution is a set of conditions that represent the best chance of successfully prosecuting a torpedo launch.

Torpedo Launch and Velocity

The launch system planned for torpedoes is railgun based, which relies on a magnetic field to amplify initial velocity from an explosive launch. This should give us launch velocities of at least 10K km/sec, depending on the length of the railgun.

Weapons System, An MVP Approach

So this is a post I have wanted to do for a while, basically for the MVP we have to simplify the weapons system to see what works and what does not. We can build up from there in each iteration.

I have boiled down my weapons system into core points:

torpedo system

The vessel's primary armament is based around a system of railgun-launched self-guided missiles referred to as torpedoes.
