That's right, one of NS's most successful stores is back and better than ever. The last Cyberdyne store sold over 23 trillion in goods to many dozens of nations. (OOC: Sadly, alot of my product threads were purged. That means no more Porcupines, HOUNDS, etc. :cry: )

Here are the products we are offering, and remember: we update our product list, so check back every once in awhile!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Scorpion" Missile (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69910)

In the next step in wide area-of-effect weapons, Cyberdyne Systems has done it again, taking the larger "Porcupine" dummy bomb, and taken it a step further.

As most of you know, the Porcupine falls from a transport plane or vessel, then, at a predesignated altitude, it detonates, spraying over a million ball bearings, destroying anything in the area of effect.

Well, Cyberdyne has developed a scamjet based missile that is basically a mini-Porcupine. It contains a few hundred 9 inch long needles, razor sharp, and soaked in either cyanide, arsenic, or other poisons. Same thing happens as the Porcupine: when it's detonated, the flechettes fly towards their target, skewering them. Now, if the victims happen to survive, the presense of poisons lessens their chance of survival.

The Scorpion is also fitted with magnetic anomaly detection devices, allowing the weapon to be detonated before an ojbect can shut it down, IE: interceptor missiles, AA fire, whatever.

We see the Scorpion as another excellent anti-personnel weapon, although it's effects against armored vehicles is not as deadly. However, aircraft engines make excellent targets. :)

For optimal performance, we suggest that the missile be fired from a large gun prior to take off (similar to the SM-2's). Simply place it in the barrel of an artillery piece, load a special round (similar to how the M1's in WW2 could fire grenades using a special bullet. ), then fire. The missile gains alot of speed, then the scramjet kicks in.

Price: $1 million per unit

"Prowler" combat system (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24044)

Are you tired of the bulkiness of the "Land Warrior" system? Are your dainty, noodle sized arms too weak to lug that beast around? Well, fear not! Cyberdyne Systems announces a revolutionary new product that will outdate the Land Warrior system. How does it work? Simple.


http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/land-warrior-lwc.jpg

See all that bulky equipment? Well, the Prowler system removes the camera and inaging equipment on the rifle an replaces it with smaller, lighter equipment. A small digital camera sits on top of the rifle. It has a full digital compound lense with high zoom capability. The compound lense allows the uses to zoom in very far, in fact, farther than most conventional cameras. The camera can easily be outfitted with infrared, or night vision, whatever the occasion calls for. Now, do you see that massive eye-piece? Again, Prowler to the rescue. Instead of a bulky eyepiece, a special pair of glasses are used. They work very similar to a teleprompter, which allows the uses to have both eyes available in case of sudden attack. The glasses are wireless, and a small reciever on the soldier's belt recieves the signal from the camera, transmits the image to the reciever, and then transmits the signal to the glasses, where a small antenna in the bow picks up the signal, with no image lag. A small earpiece fits in the soldiers ear, and it has a small microphone that stems out and picks up the soldier's voice. A small wire runs from the soldier's earpiece to the image reciever on the belt, although a wireless system can be easily implemented, if the soldier so desires. What if HQ wants to see the action? Well, a satellite transmiter sits next to the image reciever on the soldiers belt. It can broadcast the signal to a friendly satellite, and then transmit the signal to HQ, however, some lag may be experienced. And just how do these neat toys get this kind of power? Simple. Small plutonium cells power the 2 transmiters on the soldiers belt, and also the camera, giving the soldier almost endless power, or until the cells die, which we all know is unlikely. An even smaller cell in the second bow of the glasses safely gives the eyewear power, and tests have shown that the materials used in the construction of the glasses are actually very radiation proof, they emit about as much radiation as a cell phone, so the user need not fear sudden tumor growth.
Testing on the Beta version of this equipment has been completed, and the first production models are rolling off the line. While a bit more expensive than Land Warrior, the Prowler gets the job done while giving the soldier maximum comfort. Prowler is compatible with any rifle, as long as it has a sight rail so it can be mounted.

Price: $80,000 per total package

(OOC: Alot of this equipment actually exists, and the GenII that the US army is releasing will probably us the same camera systems and such. The whole glasses thing is based off of teleprompter technology, so it is entirely possible.)


Skynet Missile Defense (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48897)

http://www.domino.com/images/logos/skynet.gif

Several decades ago (months in RL), we developed a missile defense program named Skynet. We were unsure of the consequences of such a system would be, but after careful deliberation, we have decided to launch Skynet. It works like this: if Country A decides he's going to launch a ballistic missile at Country B (linked to Skynet). Skynet automatically detects the launch and target area. Interceptor missiles are scrambled to attempt to knock out the incoming warhead in self defense. But, due to low success rates of interceptors, Skynet will also instantly launch a barrage of thermonuclear warheads at Country A. Any and all countries that are linked to Skynet get this sort of protection. If any sort of nuclear launch is detected against you, Skynet will automatically act, making your chances of surviving/ retalliating before you are destroyed even greater.

Skynet is in no way an offensive system, but it is more of a deterrent. If the countries of the world know that if they were to launch a nuclear strike against a Skynet wired nation, they too will be destroyed.

Skynet's purpose is to ultimatly deter nuclear war. Skynet also incorporates state of the art firewalls and hacker/virus alert systems, just in case. Also, Skynet can be manually shut down in case anything undesired happens.

We encourage all nations to link up to Skynet, for the mutual defense of all nations against nuclear war. Also, if you launch a nuclear weapons at anybody without good reason (which there almost is none) , you will be disconnected from Skynet.

(Skynet has changed since the thread has started. It is a sentient AI system, and also incorporates more advanced ballistic missile detection and interception methods. Dark Terror should post more about it soon.)

Consider it done. Just don't go around launching nukes, and you'll be fine.

actually sir, i only got 1 nuke....i got rid of most of the others i had(4 to be exact). now all i use that tech for is power not weapons. i prefer conventional weapons as they do not cross into the WMD arena which i would surely loose in.

I've been restraintful but no longer. AMF I must ask how...do you sell something that is obviously future tech when you so openly admitted to ignoring it? Skynet run by a fully sentinent AI...do you see any sentinent AI in the modern world?

Sorry but you've just made yourself out to be the biggest hypocrite.

Your sentinels are they not genemodded warriors? how do you have this future tech existing in your i gnoring of future tech? Is your motto "AMF Were we sell things that we dont recognise as existing?!" or "AMF. The land where our best people are figments of our imagination!"?

Seriously dude.....I'd reconsider your wordings an stuff.......

OOC: Yeah, I gotta wonder the same thing. How can you sell future tech if you ignore future tech? That's like saying you sell spellbooks even though magic doesn't work in your nation, or FTL drives after calling them wanky, or something like that.

First off, this is not the palce for such a discussion. Secondly, I have stated more times than I can keep track of that AMF is a slightly post modern society. We do not have space fighters, uber satellites or any other nano wankage. For the billionth time my Sentinels are NOT modified, simply pure of genetic defects. It is their life-long training that sets them apart.

Also, what is so highly futuristic about a sentient AI? It may be sentient, but it won't cry if you hurt it's feelings for Christ's sake. It is there to run protocols, and execute them as best as it can. This is the sort of thing the US will probably have in a few years.

I will not explain this again, I'm damn tired of it. Refer to the this thread for a breakdown of tech levels. You will see that I am in no way future tech, and neither is the stuff I'm using.

uh, sorry AMF but.... Sentinent AI running a system in hundreds of other countries with nuclear weapons consantly ready to fire and capable of identifying and targetting nations where nuclear warheads originated from is kinda future tech.

You dont need to have space ships to be in the future. Sentinent AI are decidedly far off since if it was just running sub routines and preprogrammed things it wouldnt be snetinent would it? You contradict and this is why you suffer lack of respect. Kiddo, I dont even want to go into how your skynet would bankrupt you in just setting it up but if you insist I will.

Actually no I wont, you'd still find a way to try and argue out of it, so I'm not wasting my breath. Hence forth your 'skynet' that's not quite futuristic with sentinent AI's that cant think for themselves which is the basis for being sentinent is ignored. Enjoy your altered world AMf cuz I'm washing my hands of wanting to read your threads. Good bye.

I agree to a large extent; putting things into orbit is prohibitively expensive, and is likely to remain so for decades, possibly centuries, if we continue to rely on conventional fuel sources. Given that warheads are extremely heavy, I would think Skynet is certainly future techish.
