The latest version of the prime NS space weapon the TPM-3B has entered production and will replace the A3 at all production sites by the end of the year. 3B has a new cluster warhead with a variety of kinetic and penetration aiding elements designed to overcome some of the latest shield advancements such as the Tarbotian cellular shield.
3B also has a modified motor which has the same thrust but 40% reduced IR emissions which, added to sensor spoofing and other ECM technologies will make it harder for an enemy to defend against a TPM attack. 3B also has a number of updates to its guidance and communication systems.
