The BIM-24 Vindicator is a medium range surface to air missile developed by Irontian Aerospace in conjunction with Port Roanoke Shipyards in order to replaced aging missile designs of the Federalemarine. It is part of the current BIM-2X project.
Development
The missile was developed as part of the BIM-2x Missile Project as a part of the modernization of the Federalemarine's ships and armaments. The missile shares some similarities with the BIM-23 Valkyrie, such as the boosters and engine. as well as the active seeker that guides the missile. The Vindicator was first tested in late 2008 against target drones outside Hozhy, Oseato. And has since seen trials at sea and against cruise missiles.
