Anti-Ship Electronic Warfare Missile

Anti-Ship Electronic Warfare Missiles, also called ASEW Missiles, were a type of Arrow IV missile mounted on Aerospace Fighters' external hardpoints. The Lyran Alliance began development of the ASEW missile to make up for their small fleet size, however prototypes of these weapons were still undergoing testing at the breakout of the Jihad and never entered into mass production. Unable to be used in an atmosphere or launched from a standard Arrow IV platform, these missiles do not damage a ship directly but instead cripple weapons accuracy, render Naval C3 and Naval Comm-Scanner Suite systems ineffective, and jam a Kearny-Fuchida Drive with electronic static to delay its ability to jump. Despite the missile's rarity, the resistance movement within the Word of Blake-controlled Free Worlds League did procure a number of ASEW missiles for use in their raids on larger ships.
