Tungsten Rod Missiles are designed for stationary targets such as large installations, heavy equipment, or stationary platforms.

The missile features a tungsten rod core with a ceramic shield at the front to deflect kinetic energy, and weighs approximately 1 metric ton.

Equipped with a GPS sensor in its cental core and a mini gas rocket at the rear, that can propel it to change its orbit to enter the atmosphere at 30 kilometers of altitude.

The missile can be launched from an altitude of 100 kilometers, maintaining a geostationary position and traveling at low orbit velocity. 

It passes over the target at low orbit speed, maintaining the same orbit velocity until its fired.

During the atmosphere reentry, the ceramic cover in the front will act as a heat deflector while the core will raise its temperature below melting point therefore increasing its kinetic force.

By the time it hits its target, it will be traveling a 1,800 kilometers per hour which is the same velocity of a high power rifle projectile.

Unlike other methods, where missiles need to be fired first, this type of missile is already traveling at high velocity before being fired and decelerating to Mack 1.4 until hitting its target.

This type of missile does not employ explosives of any kind.
