If required it may be a design goal. It is designed to use one stage to either break atmosphere or travel to the target at an economic rate and the second stage to engage the target at best speed. However, as it is originally built to engage vessels, a completely new series is advised. B&K lacks the necessary capital to produce both at the same time. Space operation is also an excellent idea, but B&K envisions dropping really big highly aerodynamic kinetic rounds instead.

This missile can actually defeat defensive fire from capital ships to ensure impact. Even if it is defeated the AP cap will ensure great destruction, even if it is primarily constructed of composites.

Yea rth, but they weren't planned to make such impressive velocities. This rocket propelled projectile does.
