The triple ripple was a tactic used by the Havenite Navy against the Royal Manticoran Navy to degrade the Manticoran LAC/missile effectivness.

It consisted of the Havenite LACs launching their missile loads in three waves. The first and second waves used standard nukes, to create a wall of radiation and electromagnetic pulses to disorient the sensors and fire control of the targets. It also had the effect of damaging any electronic warfare platforms, such as decoys, the enemy LACs had deployed. The final wave consisted of laser heads, to destroy the now-blinded LACs. (HH10)

The Royal Manticoran Navy later developed tactics to evade the triple ripple. ("At All Costs")
