EA-70 Battlefield reconnaissance aircraft.

For years the prohibitively high cost of purchasing and operating E8 J-STAR type aircraft have made it difficult or impossible for nations to operate them. Now the EA-70 Aircraft brings this revolutionary technology into the range of small to medium size nations or even large nations who are reluctant to spend so much on one plane, the design based on a standard G-V/G550 airframe is in some ways more capable while being a fraction of the price.

Key to the design is the EMS-112 Airborne Stand-Off Radar. It is a ground surveillance system designed to provide information about the deployment and movement of enemy forces. It uses state-of-the-art radar technology to obtain high resolution imagery of static features and, operating in an alternate mode, it is capable of identifying and tracking moving vehicles. Imagery gathered is transmitted in near-real-time to a network of distributed Ground Stations deployed with the front-line forces or central command centers often thousands of miles away. Facilities within the Ground Stations permit the display and analysis of imagery, thus ensuring that the tactical commanders are aware of the latest developments on the ground. EMS-112 consists of a dual-mode Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) similar to those used on the American J-STARS surveillance system and allows near-real time monitoring of static and moving ground targets in all weather conditions. It can image targets up to 185 miles away, leaving the aircraft out of harms way, although a chaff/flare dispenser is added to the aircraft just in case. The Gulfstream V/550 aircraft is capable of operating at an altitude in excess of 51,000 ft (almost twice that of J-STARS), has a range of up to 7,500miles and a mission endurance of up to 14 and a half hours. The Aircraft is operated by a flight crew of two although a relief pilot is normally carried and four systems operators although only three are required to operate the systems at any one time.

Therefore this system brings unique perspective and unparalleled information to the army commanders on the ground, who by knowing the enemies precise movements in intricate detail can easily plan for an unfolding situation and therefore gives greater flexibility to the entire battle force.

BUMP

We shall take 1 of the aircraft for 46 mil and a ground station for .5 mill
the 26.5 mil is being wired to you. a phonecian freighter in the area is coming to your port city to pick up the truck.

minister of defense

The money has been recieved but we recomend that you buy at least two ground stations as otherwise you are not making full use of the capabilities of the aircraft.

alright then tack on another 2 trucks with the 1 mil. being wired.

We are interested in buying two of these aircraft but you must bring the price down a touch

The Rogue Nation of Kellun wishes to purchase the following:

10 x EA-70 aircraft @ $46 mil/each
25 x Ground Station @ $0.5 mil/each

Our accountants have calcutated the costs to be:

Aircraft: $460 mil

We will take 20 planes and 40 ground stations. Payment wired upon confirmation.

We'd like 10 EA-70s, with 25 of the corresponding ground support vehicles. Take the $472.5 million off our credit.

Can we get 2 planes and 5 vehicles within the next 48 (NS) hours? We know it's a rush, but we'd appreciate it a lot. They'll be for use in the Nimbatan conflict, and we'd like to be able to deploy at least some with the main Air Force group. The remaining ones would be appreciated in the next (NS) week or so.

Thank you.

All Confirmed.

Ferrussia: Three aircraft would be perfect for use in jungle warfare areas and we can get 2 planes and 5 vehicles delivered by Manatee to Rangoon (under escort, judging by what happened to yours :shock: ) port in abot a day (RL) and the rest winthin about ifved ays (RL)

We hope this is satisfactory and we wish your nation luck in the conflict:
