The OCE-1 Chaos (Ordinance Contre- Emision) is an anti-radiation missile (ARM) in widespread use with the Inyurstan Armed Forces. Finding use in multiple branches of service, it can be launched from aircraft, ground launchers and ships. Secondary targets include small warships and certain aircraft.
History
Following the 1986 Guerroca War, wherein North Guerrocan forces were able to deplete existing Inyurstan stockpiles of foreign-supplied anti-radiation missiles, the Inyurstan military realized the need for an indigenously-produced, readily available weapon to target enemy surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). An open contract was placed between competing firms, open to both indigenous designs and Inyurstan-based production of foreign missiles. However, due to the political climate of the late 1980's and early 1990's - mainly the easing of tensions with formerly hostile Gran Cuscatlan, an increase in cartel violence & renewed Marcon de Rouge offensive, and budget strains - the program was caught in "development hell".
In 1995, the program resumed and a then-simplistic design by Martel Arms was adopted. The missile, dubbed OCE-1, was a 3.8m long missile with a passive-radar homing warhead. It was adopted for service on Inyursta's aging A-4 and F-5 fleet. When the (amerifighter)...
During the Lolloh-Ruolnik Conflict, the missile would see prolific combat as the Inyurstan Air Force frequently engaged in repeated games of cat-and-mouse with the air defenses of the Lollohian Army. During this time, several lessons would be learned. The first of which was the need for incorporation of alternate guidance, mainly stationary guidance such as GPS and DSMAC units which would
