The Smart Rocket was a powerful rocket/missile hybrid[1] used by both the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War,[3] and later by the Resistance and First Order in their conflict decades later. The Smart Rocket was also used by the Galactic Republic prior to the formation of the Empire.[2]
Despite its launcher being equipped with an electric targeting scope to help acquire targets, the explosive projectile automatically targeted the nearest turret or vehicle, though it could also be dumb-fired against infantry. Only a single Smart Rocket could be fired before the launcher needed reloading.[3] It detonated upon impact and had a blast radius of three meters, though maximum damage was inflicted within two.[1] Imperial Demolition Troopers wielded modified Smart Rockets that required the user to lock onto a hostile target for several seconds before the explosive projectile would seek out and destroy its target.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
