Thiocal Defense Systems has completed its contract with the Dodekistan Army in the development of the National Artillery Distribution Command(NADC). This is the cornerstone of Dodekistani internal defense. The system consists of 3 gun batteries and a central command center buried deep beneath a granite mountain in central Dodekistan.
Each gun battery is a 5 story reinforced concrete cylinder with 3 X542 main guns and 3 90mm dual barreled anti aircraft guns to defend each main gun. The building and each gun is also protected by the EMFECM system.
The X542 is a 120mm, 4 barreled fully automatic gattling mortar. The rate of fire of this gun can be adjusted between 100 and 250 rounds per minute sustained. For short bursts, the rate of fire can go as high as 350 rounds per minute. Each barrel is 20 feet long. Each gun can be independently targeted, and is turned at 60 degrees per second by gears embedded 100 feet below ground.
Power for the facility is provided by a pebble bed nuclear reactor 150 feet below ground at the base of the building. The magazine lies beneath a 12 inch chobam armored plate at a classified depth below the facility, and stores a large selection of ammunition for the guns, including incindiary, armor piercing, high explosive, and fragmentation. There is enough ammunition in the magazine and in reserve at an isolated facility to keep up 100 rounds per minute rate of fire for each gun for 10 hours.
The three facilities are positioned in a triangle approximately equilateral with sides of 10 miles, and each gun is within range of any point within Dodekistan.

OOC: Nah, not really a superweapon I don't think. It's for defensive purposes only.
IIC: I can negotiate sales of individual X542 guns to allied nations if desired. Sales will include construction, installation, and integration of the guns into the internal defense forces.

All units in the Dodekistani Army and field operatives in the Internal Intelligence Agency are now being issued equipment that links them with the NADC system. The device is approximately the size of a handheld computer, and is equipped with a laser rangefinder, which based on the distance from the user and GPS data, computes the coordinates of the target. It also has a very small, very high resolution digital camera with a very powerful digital zooming capability. This takes a picture of the target, which, along with the GPS coordinates of the target and a priority assessment, are sent via encrypted high frequency satellite link to the NADC computers. This information is fed into a priority algorithm which detirmines (based on the movement of the target, the threat of the target to the unit and to any current or pending operations) where the fire mission should be placed in the list of pending missions. The picture of the target is also used to select the type of ammunition (and in some cases the order different ammunition should be fired to get the most expedient destruction of the target).
If proper authorization is granted by higher level commanders, it is possible for an entire battery, or even the entire system, to be tasked one target. This was demonstrated by a field test conducted 2 weeks ago...
"Ok sir, all you need to do now is scan your thumb, and double click on the yellow square here, and grant that unit whichever level of authorization you wish."
"So, I can task all three batteries to this unit then right?"
"Yes Colonel." The technition smiled, and Col. Heinz Amos joined the sadistic grin. He double clicked the unit, and granted them 3 battery authorization.
30 miles away, Hendricks Proving Grounds...
A sniper team; the shooter and spotter, lay camoflauged in the forest, 1300 meters from a brick building. The sniper had a specially designed designator which fed through his scope, and was actuated by pulling the trigger on his M-24 rifle. The spotter had a handheld unit that was tied via infrared data stream to the scope, so he could see what the sniper saw, and transmitted the fire support request to the NADC.
As the sniper moved his crosshairs over the building, and held them for 3 seconds. On the screen of the spotters handheld unit, the crosshairs turned green, indicating its readiness to send the fire request.
"Green," the spotter said with the coolness brought by years of highly rehersed actions. The sniper pulled the trigger back, and the bolt hit a rubber "bullet" placed in the chamber. The bullet had a sensor in it, which triggered the rangefinder and camera. The screen on the handheld unit blinked, and an orange bar showed the status of the data uplink. The bar rapidly turned green as the data was completely sent to the NADC.
The silence of the morning in three different parts of the country was interrupted by the deafening sound of fully automatic mortar fire. On each battery, all three guns were trained on the building, with the ballistic trajectory of the rounds timed such that the rounds would be impacting at the exact same instant. The batteries let loose a 5 second barrage of 120mm mortar fire. First was the armor piercing rounds; tipped with depleted uranium and with a shaped charge inside. Following those was a salvo of incindiary, fragmentation and high explosive rounds.
The sniper team set their equipment down to watch the fireworks. The shreak of incoming mortar rounds was terrifying, even to the ones who called in the strike! A shadow fell over the building as the mortars came in, and, like an unholy rain of steel, struck the building. The armor piercing rounds cut through the measly brick building like butter, with the other rounds completelely demolishing the building, and setting the rubble ablaze.
The snipers walked to inspect the damage. A crater 30 feet deep was created by the massive salvo of ammunition expended on the house.
"I'd really hate to invade us!"
