The '''Anti-Ship Missile (AS)''' was an [[Arrow IV]] variant developed by the [[Federated Suns]].  Development of this missile began in [[3069]], spurred on by the [[Blakist]] blockade of [[New Avalon]], with limited production started in [[3071]].  Though based on the Arrow system, the ASM incorporates [[Tandem-Charge Warhead]] technology and is fitted with powerful booster engines to give it greater velocity.  Armor penetration is achieved as much through kinetic energy as the dual warhead, and while devastating against large vessels the increased speeds and limited guidance system means the weapon has a harder time hitting fast, agile targets.<ref name="TOp358">''Tactical Operations'', p. 358, "Anti-Ship (AS) Missiles"</ref>
