Starstreak HVM

Developed by Thales Group, the STARStreak High Velocity Missile is designed to provide close air defence against conventional air threats such as fixed wing fighters and late unmasking helicopter targets.

Thales has addressed the needs of military users around the world and introduced major improvements to provide increased range beyond 7 km, increased coverage and altitude and improved guidance precision against small targets.

The STARStreak configuration is based on the proven principles of high velocity to defeat targets with short unmasking times. The three dart payload maximises levels of lethality and accurate line of sight; laser beam riding guidance enables engagement of the smallest signature targets, which are extremely difficult to defeat and lock onto by traditional fire and forget missiles. The STARStreak missile is capable of being launched from lightweight land, sea and air platforms, from either automatic fire control systems such as the RAPIDRanger or the STARStreak Lightweight Multiple Launcher, Next Generation (LML NG). STARStreak can therefore be deployed quickly into operations and is easy to integrate into a force structure.

Lawman’s STARStreak mod for Arma 3 currently includes only the man-portable system; a semi-active munition with no target locking or fire-and-forget capability.

This system is available in four colour schemes for use in a wide variety of environments.

Considerations for next update:

– Custom reload animation
– Animated weapon sight (LTA/armed warning lights)
– Custom positioning/design of zeroing,azimuth and view mode display on weapon sight
– Re-mastering of models (optimisations and corrections)
– Better texturing and materials

Possible long-term goals:

– Static Lightweight Multiple Launcher
– Pylon mounted Starstreak (for helicopter mounting)
– Armoured Vehicle System (AVS) [Very long-term!]

Known issues:

– LOD popping
– AI potentially too accurate against helicopters
