The Tactical Rocket System 'Fromme Faust' (Devout Fist) Rocket Series is a multi-variant heavy artillery/ballistic rocket that are advanced spin and fin-stabilized; they were designed and are manufactured by Wolf Armaments for the TECT Imperial Army and Armed Forces. The TRS is a seven-hundred millimeter heavy artillery rocket designed for high precision bombardments of beyond long-range strategic targets; It has four distinct variants: the High-Explosive Fragmentation, Incendiary, Bunker Buster, and Sub-Munition Dispenser. Against heavy concentrations of enemy forces, defenses, and strategic targets - TRS' are very lethal.
Built for the 21st century battlefield, TRS rockets were designed with battle tested munitions designs and new innovative technology for guided munitions. Starting in early 2000, Imperial Army commanders repeatedly asked for a series of multipurpose long range artillery systems that could use variant specific munitions against a wide variety of threats. Chief among these requests were strategic weapons that could target enemy positions beyond long range. Old field guns were considered for modernization before missiles were soon discussed as the solution - all parties involved, however, came to the conclusion that rockets were probably the best and cheapest option for long range artillery. Rockets were proven for centuries now of being able to conduct devastating long and close range bombardments - many countries around the world still use rockets based on many world designs. So in the same year, the TECT Government put in a bid for Wolf Armaments to design a series of rocket that could fill a variety of long range artillery needs; in the same order, however, they asked for a strategic rocket capable of destroying larger targets at longer distances. Both the government and Imperial Army especially wanted a set of native rocket designs for the Heiliger Blitz MRLS. This rocket program was paired with the more common artillery munitions in development - a sort of standard and strategic assortment of rocket artillery designs. After evaluations of similar systems, designers developed a prototype around the same time as the Pfeil Rocket Program had. It would take three more attempts until a final prototype would advance to modifications and be finalized for testing. In mid 2001, along with Pfeil rockets, the multi-variant TRS was approved for production and large orders were made by the TECT government.
Built from a refined steel alloy - TRS rockets are cheaper to produce and make adding on newer technology less costly. TRS rockets are notably longer and heavier then the [url]Pfeil rocket Series'[/url] and their warheads reflect that. TRS rockets focus on high accuracy and firepower to destroy defended positions and wide spread enemy forces; the large guided munition is super accurate along with packing large potential for damage against enemy forces. To increase the rocket's characteristics, Wolf Armaments focused on improving the shape, design, and technology of the rocket - accuracy and firepower were the primary focal points of the rocket's design. The TRS' extensive height and width give it a unique payload capacity as well as warhead design and the ability to travel longer distances with its larger engine compartment; its folded deploying rear fins provide excellent stabilization during flight - they also help maneuver and adjust trajectory for improved terminal approach. Two guidance systems guide the TRS onto target, they are the laser and GPS guidance systems. The rocket posses a laser tracking device or SALH, Semi-Active Laser Homing, that tracks and guides the munition to a 'lit up' target; this allows aircraft to guide munitions onto target or ground forces to paint enemy targets. As the main guidance system, a GPS guidance allows a TRS rocket to be accurately guided onto targets no matter the weather condition using satellite guidance; in the event the GPS signal is blocked or disrupted, Inertial guidance takes control, which will guide the rocket onto target. TRS rockets use a liquid fuel booster for propulsion and IMX-101 explosive mixture for its warhead's filler. Depending on the variant, a TRS rocket can be armed with a warhead or storage space full of sub-munitions up to two-hundred and fifty kilograms. The smart warheads can be programmed to explode or detonate based on timers, allowing warheads to explode close to the ground, high above the ground, or upon impact.
TRS-HE-Frag: The High-Explosive Fragmentation Tactical Rocket System is the standard variant of the series; it uses a two-hundred and fifty kilogram warhead using IMX-101 explosives. HE-Frag's typically are used against infantry, anti-defense/structure, and against light skinned vehicles like aircraft and light armored vehicles. With a lethal range of sixty-two meters (one-hundred if detonated at highest point), shrapnel can travel up to a dozen or more meters in the blast.
TRS-DSM: The Dual Sub-Munition variant of the TRS is a dual-purpose anti-infantry and vehicle sub-munition dispensing rocket; it uses a two-hundred and fifty kilogram storage space to house three-hundred bomblets, each using IMX-101 explosives that produce shaped charge shrapnel in all directions. DSM's typically target formations of enemy forces over a wide area using a number of smaller bomblets that deploy over a wide distance (approximately one-hundred and twenty meters) to destroy infantry and armored vehicles from multiple directions; such examples are enemy ground formations and airfields full of aircraft. Each piece of shrapnel is capable of penetrating one-hundred millimeters of armor from two-hundred millimeters away.
TRS-Incendiary: The Incendiary TRS is a high explosive incendiary rocket intended to create a sea of flames when launched during full barrages; the two-hundred and fifty kilogram warhead features a IMX-101 explosive device that ignites the incendiary warhead, spreading it over a wide area. The warhead itself is built with a kerosene-based fuel mixture, an oxidizing agent, and contains large amounts of white phosphorous. The Incendiary variant is used to defeat defenses, infantry, and destroying a large variety of structures and equipment; burning structures, suffocating defenses, and eliminating ground forces are chief among these uses. Incendiary TRS rockets have a lethality range of about sixty to one-hundred meters.
TRS-BBR: The bunker Buster Rocket is a penetrating high-explosive incendiary rocket designed to defeat structures built underground and/or heavily fortified. The two-hundred and fifty kilogram warhead features a penetration style warhead - a solid coating of dense ARMOX ADVANCE Steel designed to smash through ground and bunkers, and a high-explosive incendiary bomb that explodes after significant penetration. Laser and GPS guidance ensures the rocket hits its target accurately without miss. The BBR is capable of significant damage and penetration against enemy bunkers and other strategic defended sites; once penetrated, the incendiary based explosion (kerosene-based fuel mixture, an oxidizing agent, and contains large amounts of white phosphorous) either burns targets to ash or eats up all the air, suffocating targets trapped inside.
TRS-Spatz: The 'Spatz' variant of the TRS Rocket Series is a modified DSM variant intended for special use as a delivery system for Sptaz submunitions. Stacked together in a tight layer of the munition, thirty Spatz submunitions are carried in a bus inside the rocket that deploys the munitions at optimal altitude high above intended targets; the smart munitions will then perform their autonomous engagement of targeted enemies.
