Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Guardian Angel TMD

The EAL-3 Guardian Angel TMD (Tactical Missile Defense) is an anti-air counter available to Aquila as a support power.

Overview
The EAL-3 Guardian Angel entered service as part of the touted Tactical Missile Defense initiative in the early 2000s V.C., which aimed to eliminate the risk of enemy missile systems including ATGMs, SAMs and even ballistic missiles in close coordination with Aquilan ground forces. After an extensive series of tests and evaluations, the Department of Defense signaled its approval for a plane whose distinct triple engine setup made it less susceptible to ground-based anti-aircraft fire than its more conventional competitors. The airframe went into serial production with a pinpoint accurate 150kW laser installed on its nose and an advanced sensor radome on its back. The Guardian Angel is also equipped with a sophisticated AI that can detect, identify, prioritise and neutralise missiles more quickly than a team of human operators as well as a large supply of infrared and radar countermeasures to protect itself. Due to its hefty pricetag of roughly 700 million dollars apiece, the EAL-3 can only be called into action by battlefield commanders with a full level 5 clearance.
