'''Anti-Ship Electronic Warfare Missiles''', also called '''ASEW Missiles''', were a type of [[Arrow IV]] missile mounted on [[aerospace fighter]]s' [[External Stores Hardpoint|external hardpoints]].  The [[Lyran Alliance]] began development of the ASEW missile to make up for their small fleet size, however prototypes of these weapons were still undergoing testing at the outbreak of the [[Jihad]] and never entered into mass production.  Unable to be used in an atmosphere or launched from a standard Arrow IV platform, these missiles do not damage a ship directly but instead cripple weapons accuracy, render [[Naval C3]] and [[Naval Comm-Scanner Suite]] systems ineffective, and jam a [[Kearny-Fuchida Drive]] with electronic static to delay its ability to jump.  Despite the missile's rarity, the resistance movement within the [[Word of Blake]]-controlled [[Free Worlds League]] did procure a number of ASEW missiles for use in their raids on larger ships.<ref name="TOp358"/>
