The N62E1 SONIC (Stand-Off Non-linear Intelligent Cartridge) is a "smart" tank-shell developed in Inyursta. It is designed for the Entengo 120mm "Marauder" cannon and planned to be deployed on both the YT-3 Crocodile MBT and YT-2 Gavial Tank Destroyer.
As a top-attack munition, the N62E1 targets the vulnerable upper section of enemy MBT's with an Explosively formed penetrator (EFP). Using a combination of infrared-imaging guidance with millimeter microwave target profiling and active tracking, the munition selects for the top of the turret or rear engine compartment and fires its EFP apprxximately 15-25cm above the intended impact point.
