 The PWAC-A weapon array is built around a [[MASC_drive|MASC]]-based linear accelerator that encases the missile in a distortion field as it is fired out, allowing it to compress the distance between itself and the target. Because the missile lacks its own drive system, it begins to decelerate as the distortion normalizes it, generally within the span of 5 seconds, and continues towards the target using a conventional particle drive. No additional acceleration is necessary as the cruise missile has already achieved its optimal in-flight velocity. The PWAC-A weapon array is built around a [[MASC_drive|MASC]]-based linear accelerator that encases the missile in a distortion field as it is fired out, allowing it to compress the distance between itself and the target.

 The PWAC-V is a vertical and broadside missile launcher designed to fire the PWA-type Cruise Missile. It is a no-frills system that launches the missile at STL speeds, and is primarily designed to be equipped to vessels as close-in-weapons systems against vessels in the effective ranges of sublight weaponry. The PWAC-V is a vertical and broadside missile launcher designed to fire the PWA-type Cruise Missile.
