As implied by its name, the LSWM has a high lock-on radius and, upon impact, it damages the area around it with a massive shock wave. Its destructive power can annihilate almost all targets in a single hit. The LSWM is a downsized version of the Shock Wave Ballistic Missile used by the airborne fortress Gleipnir. Compared to the SWBM, the LSWM has a much slimmer design, and its area of effect is reduced as a result.
