MRM successfully launched in full field test

A MRM development build (MRM R3-012) has been successfully launched from Pulsar cruiser C101 North America and hit a target 2.4 light years away. The missile had it's course and target information updated twice during it's flight by a Starsystem training frigate. The DDS used decoys both physical and electronic to try and put the missile off but it still achieved a "hit" and in practice it's warhead would have easily destroyed the target.

Accuracy wasn't quite as good as hoped though and the DDS will aim to improve it further before the MRM enters service next year.
