The game-changing Sceptre missile is here. Tiberius Aerospace just unveiled this low-cost, high-tech artillery missile. It’s equipped with a statorreator and can hit targets 150 kilometers away with surgical precision – just 5 meters off.
This isn’t your typical artillery. The Sceptre looks more like a small missile than a traditional shell. But it can be fired from any standard NATO 155mm artillery gun.
Its secret? A jet engine with no moving parts. It kicks in after launch and runs on diesel or jet fuel. This gets the Sceptre to supersonic speeds of Mach 3.5 – that’s over 4,200 kilometers per hour.
The Sceptre soars to heights over 20,000 meters, out of range of electronic interference. From up there, it can travel 150 kilometers – three times farther than a conventional shell. Its guidance system uses GPS, inertial navigation, and artificial intelligence to ensure pinpoint accuracy.
What really sets the Sceptre apart is its price tag: under 50,000 euros per unit. That’s a fraction of the cost of comparable missiles. This could change military doctrine and make long-range precision attacks more accessible.
Tiberius Aerospace took a page from Silicon Valley’s playbook. They applied rapid civilian tech development cycles to defense. The result is a modular, evolving system with just 25 unique components. It can be stored for up to 20 years and refueled in the field.
The first real-world tests in the US validated the concept. The company expects operational certification by the end of 2025. According to founder and CEO Chad Steelberg, their mission is to provide “next-generation weapon systems with exceptional capability, precision, scale, and efficiency.”
This could mark the beginning of a new era for artillery. One where precision and power come at a lower cost. The Sceptre is a wake-up call for the defense industry.
How it works
The Sceptre’s guidance module combines navigation, autopilot, and control in one unit. This module controls four fins that provide steering and control during flight. The system is activated at launch, and GPS antennas quickly acquire the necessary satellites for navigation.
