A company has announced a dystopian weapon which could be used in World War III and that is unlike anything we've ever seen before.
The defense technology firm has revealed its first product that has left people feeling terrified.
The product was unveiled at the Future Artillery Conference last Monday (May 19) by Tiberius Aerospace, who claim the company is ‘built to empower the UK and US’.
The product in question is known as the Sceptre TRBM 155HG and is the world’s first supersonic ramjet, which is capable of hitting targets 100 miles away.

The company was founded just three years ago in 2022 by Chad Steelberg, and was apparently formed in response ‘to a new era of conflict where speed, adaptability, cost-effective capability and supply chain assurance are essential to national security’.
Steelberg has also spoken out to say that this product is the first of its kind and has been ‘designed for the future battlefield’.
What is the Sceptre TRBM 155HG?
The ramjet not only has accuracy, but it can blast away targets at an insane speed of 2,700 mph.
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 ft.
The state-of-the-art missile is also able to bypass traditional systems to hit targets with full force and accuracy.
Steelberg claims that the rocket is ‘10X’ more accurate in range position than typical missiles, adding: “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 the Sceptre is technically known as a ‘precision-guided ramjet artillery munition’.
It added: “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.
“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.”
According to Army Recognition, the ramjet ‘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’.
It added: “From a budgetary perspective, the cost differential is stark: Sceptre is priced at less than 10 percent of a standard GMLRS round.”
