| A guided missile system built to the scale of most common 40 to 50mm grenade launching systems, the V100N 'Voz' is of the 'micro' missile class and sees use in a variety of roles. From secondary anti-material weapon for infantry, to a point defense hard kill missile system for vehicles. Primarily however it is employed as a primary guided munition by power armor and exo-suit equipped infantry. | A guided missile system built to the scale of most common 40 to 50mm grenade launching systems, the V100N 'Voz' is of the 'micro' missile class and sees use in a variety of roles.

| ==== Storage State and Use ==== | ==== Storage State and Use ==== | ||
| - | As stated above the Gabon missile system is a 'sealed round' weapon system in which the missile is sealed in a kylar polymer tube which is filled with nitrogen an inert non-reactive gas to allow for long term storage. As a result this 'round' is the primary munition for the Gabon system, be it used in a single shot CLU for man portable employment or on various vehicles. To be employed the user removes a cover a foot below the front end of the missile which uncovers the linkages for the missile inside the tube. This linkage is slotted specifically to allow for the tube to be inserted in the launcher only in a way which lines it up with the launcher system's contact link. | + | The missile is typically issued in a caseless container which can either be inserted into a single shot launcher or packed into a multi-shot launcher. These containers are shed on launch, typically in a manner akin to a cartridge type sabot. |

| - | The present primary and most common warhead option on the Gabon missile is a primary anti-tank solid fuel direction plasma warhead with a anti-personnel fragmentation sleeve. Effective against both infantry out in the open and against armored vehicles (or both if the targeted platform has infantry in close attendance) it allows the user to engage these targets without the need to switch ordinance. | + | The missile employs four primary warhead types, these are listed below and their designations are stenciled on the side of the missile or its container. |
| - | ***Primary Warhead** | + | === High Explosive Dual Purpose Anti-Material (HEDP-AM) === |
| - | ***Type -** Directional Solid Fuel Plasma, Narrow Jet, Typically Top or Side Attack | + | The most common type of warhead employed, the HEDP-AM is both an anti-material and anti-personnel weapon system utilizing a metallic hydrogen laser initiated fusion type explosive to produce a powerful blast. This warhead can employ either a proximity detonation using laser sensors, a contact detonation fuse, or a command detonation in which the launching platform sets it off on command. |
| - | ***Purpose -** Anti-Ship, Anti-Installation, and Surface Attack | + | === Directional Plasma Dual Purpose Thermobaric (DPDP-T) === |
| - | ***Area of Effect -** Point of Impact | + | A dual purpose light anti-tank weapon with a secondary thermobaric effects sleeve, the DPDP-T employs a directional plasma warhead. The primary warhead generates a short lived fusion reaction and employs a compression capacitor to produce a jet of hypervelocity high density plasma capable of penetrating up to 40mm of unshielded steel analogue. A secondary effect is a solid explosive fuel liner around the primary warhead and missile body which is vaporized by the primary detonation and will rapidly form a cloud around the detonation point, a few milliseconds after the primary explosion a specific electrical impulse is generated detonating this cloud in a thermobaric manner with roughly the yield of a 120mm HE mortar shell. |
