AT-90 RDM Mount

For dispersal into enemy territory, HIA Chemical Weapons Research and Development has produced a launch system that can be fired from the listed vehicle as a quick and first strike against hostile forces.

The HIA AT-90 RMD is a missile variant of the armored personnel carrier and is armed with Raptor Dispersal Missiles -RDM- The weapons main payload is CK, cyanogen chloride. This chemical is a highly toxic blood agent. It causes immediate injury upon contact with the eyes or respiratory organs. Symptoms of exposure are loss of consciousness, convulsions, paralysis, and death. It is especially dangerous because it is capable of penetrating the filters in gas masks.

Fire control utilizes multiple sensors with passive optics and radar working alongside electronic countermeasure systems. The target detection and acquisition systems are completely automated to achieve the fastest response time by the crew. The highly adaptable system can be ported onto a variety of chassis requirements, some of which have been the MLRS chassis, a 6-wheeled towed versio, and a 6x6 self-propelled vehicle version in service with Haru legions.

The Payload
Cyanogen Chloride has properties similar to riot control agents and it can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and airways resulting in lacrimation (tearing), rhinorrhea (runny nose), and increased fluid production in the lungs.

Inhalation
* Runny nose (rhinorrhea).
* Sore throat.
* Drowsiness.
* Confusion.
* Nausea.
* Vomiting.
* Cough.
* Unconsciousness.
* Edema with symptoms which may be delayed

Skin
Cyanogen Chloride is readily absorbed through intact skin causing systemic effects without irritant effects on the skin.

On contact with liquid, frostbite may occur.
The liquid may be absorbed.
Redness.
Pain.

PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
Colorless compressed liquefied gas, with pungent odor.

PHYSICAL DANGERS:
The gas is heavier than air.

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes (hydrogen cyanide, hydrochloric acid, nitrogen oxides). Reacts slowly with water or water vapor to form hydrogen chloride.

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation.

INHALATION RISK:
A harmful concentration of this gas in the air will be reached very quickly on loss of containment.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance severely irritates the eyes with excessive tearing (lacrimation), the skin and the respiratory tract causing runny nose (rhinorrhea) and edema (fluid buildup in the lungs). Cyanides poison the vital organs of the body (for example the lungs and heart) including areas of the brain that regulates proper functioning of those organs. Exposure may result in convulsions, unconsciousness and in death. (See Notes.) Inhalation of the substance may cause lung edema (see Notes). The effects may be delayed. Rapid evaporation of the liquid may cause frostbite. Medical observation is indicated.
