Hunter Killer Missiles with pod for a Vulture gunship

The Hunter-Killer Missile is used by the Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters and is a common upgrade for vehicles. They are effectively krak missiles with massively extended range, although only one can be mounted on a vehicle due to the vast increase in size. They are also unique in that they are guided weapons with an on-board artificial intelligence, known as a "logis-engine."[1] Sensors in the missile's nose transmit information on the target and surrounding environment to the logis-engine, which guides the missile in flight by manipulating its stabilising fins, allowing the missile to match the target's movements and avoid obstacles.[1] The missile's warhead is an impact fused shaped charge, designed for maximum armour penetration.[1] Other instruments include an internal gyroscope for stable flight and a small battery to power the sensor and logis-engine.[1]
A variety of different Hunter-killer missiles exist, including the MkX 'Deliverance', MkVIII 'Avenger' and MkIX 'Voss' patterns.[1]
