QPM begins testing

The Quad Phase Missile, the cut-down version of TPM-1 for export, has begun testing with the DDS Weapon Proving Ground near Proxima 5. QPM-1 is based on the TPM-1D platform with a new quad-phase warhead. It also has a new countermeasure system based on the one used on the TPM-2 (which will be rolled into the TPM-1 at the next update) though said to be not as advanced.

QPM has been ordered by Molab, Helinox and Sear N7. The testing is being carried out on a Starsystem frigate with Molab space navy officers present. QPM is due to enter service next year. The missile is load compatible with TPM-1.
