The HCS have carried out a test firing of a CSM with a dramatic improvement in capability. The missile launched from a silo on Cloneworld travelled 2 lightyears towards an asteroid on a HCS test range then received a targeting update from a Kelsan KS bomber and travelled 1.3 light years towards a separate target before being "hitting" it.
The HCS said that the Kelsans are now able to integrate CSM into their full attack profiles and thus will be able to use CSMs as well as their own weapons during a mission. A Kelsan launched version of CSM (CSM-S) is also in development and could enter service next year.
