TPM improved

The key DDS weapon the transphasic missile (TPM) has been improved to the TPM-1C-2 standard which is now entering production. The latest version has enhanced software for countermeasures evasion and the transphasic field has also been improved.

The next generation TPM-2 is also nearing production. Recently the latest development version (XTPM-2 M2) was test fired successfully by SS Isometric. M3 will debut later in the year and will include transphasic spoofing in which a spoof field is generated away from the missile to fool enemy defences. TPM-2 is expected to enter service late next year.
