Unveiled: The Weapon That Experts Warn Could Rewrite the Future of Warfare Forever

So here’s a question for you: what do you get when a brand-new defense tech startup decides the future battlefield needs a little more oomph—and unveils a missile that sounds like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie? Meet Tiberius Aerospace, a company born in 2022 with a mission to shake things up for the UK and US militaries. Just this week, at the Future Artillery Conference in London, they pulled back the curtain on their first big bang—the Sceptre TRBM 155HG. Now, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill missile. It’s literally the world’s first supersonic ramjet artillery round, screaming toward targets a hundred miles away at a mind-blowing 2,700 mph, with AI and GPS making sure it hits the bullseye—even dodging the usual GPS jammers. It’s faster, smarter, and apparently ten times more accurate than the typical stuff out there. Oh, and did I mention it costs less than 10% of those other pricey guided missiles? So, is this the game changer we’ve been waiting for… or just a terrifying glimpse at how warfare might look in the near future? Buckle up; it’s about to get intense.

A defence technology company ‘built to empower the UK and US’ has unveiled their first defence product, and it’s pretty terrifying.

Tiberius Aerospace unveiled its first defence product, the Sceptre TRBM 155HG, at the Future Artillery Conference in London on Monday (19 May).

The modern defense technology company was founded in 2022 by Chad Steelberg ‘in response to a new era of conflict where speed, adaptability, cost-effective capability and supply chain assurance are essential to national security’.

And CEO Steelberg has insisted that this new, first of it’s kind weapon has been ‘designed for the future battlefield’.

What is the Sceptre TRBM 155HG?

The Sceptre TRBM 155HG is the world’s first supersonic ramjet, capable of hitting targets 100 miles away.

Sceptre not only has accuracy, but it can blast away targets at an eye-watering 2,700mph.

With the combination of artificial intelligence and GPS, it seems the system is capable of correcting errors in real time, reaching up to an altitude of 65,000.

The state-of-the-art missile is also able to bypass traditional systems to hit targets with full force and accuracy.

Steelberg claims the rocket is ’10X’ more accurate in range position than typical missiles, saying: “This is a weapon designed for the future battlefield: fast, precise, and resilient in a denied environment.”

What is a ramjet?

Army Recognition explains that Sceptre is technically known as a ‘precision-guided ramjet artillery munition’.

“A ramjet is an air-breathing engine that compresses incoming air without moving parts, using the munition’s high speed to sustain combustion and generate continuous thrust throughout its flight,” it added.

“This high-altitude trajectory limits susceptibility to GPS jamming and electronic warfare.

“Featuring a circular error probability (CEP) of under 5 meters, even in GPS-contested environments, Sceptre incorporates a hybrid GPS/inertial guidance package, AI-enhanced targeting correction, and an in-flight data-link for swarm coordination.”

Sceptre also happens to be a lot cheaper and more accurate than the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS), considered as the ‘go-to guided missile for precision strikes’.

Army Recognition says that ‘strategically, Sceptre positions itself as a credible alternative to more costly and logistically burdensome systems such as the ER GMLRS or the Long-Range Manoeuvring Projectile (LRMP) from General Atomics’.

So not only has will it smoke out targets, it appears to have smoked out the competition.

“From budgetary perspective, the cost differential is stark: Sceptre is priced at less than 10 percent of a standard GMLRS round,” they added.
