AM-1 ALRAIM Advanced Long Range Air Intercept Missile
We are making our first foray into the world of arms dealing and would like to present our first weapon system, the AM-1 ALRAIM (Advanced Long-Range Air Intercept Missile). We have created this missile with the purpose of countering the increasingly dangerous advances in air-to-surface capabilities of today's Air Forces.

The AM-1 is designed to be launched from air, sea or land to defend the subject. With it's own inertial/active multi-spectrum milimeter-wave radar, the missile can accurately track targets moving in excess of mach 6 and move to intercept accordingly. The air-link controller works on a multiple frequency high speed data link using encrypted side-band frequencies to prevent jamming or link compromise. An identical system is utilized by ground controllers to accurately guide the missile in case of primary guidance failure.

The twin-stage solid propellant motor is designed to launch the AM-1 from the canister in excess of mach 3 or from an aircraft at just under mach 1 to then accelerate to mach 4+. The first stage handles launch and initial course correction at which time the missile (if not having already impacted on the target) deploys two swept wing surfaces and redirects course to its target. The second motor engages and the wings shear off, fins deploying for terminal engagement while the attitude control mechanism uses vectored thrust to further ensure target interception.

Though a relatively large missile, the missile's speed and anechoic coating and composite frame make it difficult to track by radar as the solid fuel is also relatively smokelss in comparison to other missile of this size (which still means it leaves one hell of a smoke trail).

In light of our initial sales, we are going ahead with the announcement of our second product, the Agnos AM-2 MAW (Maritime Assault Weapon).

AM-2 MAW (Maritime Attack Weapon)

The AM-2 MAW is the culmination of years of development and reverse engineering of the Russian SS-N-22 Sunburn anti ship missile. She body was elongated and made a bit wider to accomodate the unique features of the MAW which make it a deadly anti-ship missile.

The MAW, is in fact, not just a missile, but as it's acronym implies, a weapon. For in reality, when used in its most lethal role, it is a two stage device. The initial is that of the common anti-ship missile. It fires from a canister or VLS tube and engages it's solid propellant ramjet, accelerating to mach 3+. In the terminal phase it can do one of two maneuvers to be selected by the command guidance prior to launch.

The first is your common, pop-up maneuver which actually drives the weapon down into the top of the ship where the warhead explodes either with a proximity fuze or after penetration, depending on the target. Carriers are usually targeted for proximity fuze to spread the fragmenting warhead across the deck.

The second , not-so-common terminal attack phase dives the missile into the ocean approximately 1500 to 2000 meters from the target where the first stage outer shell breaks away, allowing the second stage motor to kick in. This solid propellant liquid ramjet accelerates the now torpedo in excess of 80 knots, executing a down-and-up manevuer which is the exact opposite of the pop-up maneuver, sending the torpedo straight up and into the bottom of hte target vessel where the warhead penetrates and then explodes, effectively gutting the target from beneath.

Single-shot percentages on range targets are 95% fatal with the remaining 5% of the vessels sinking within half an hour.

We shall continually improve the AM-2 MAW and offer free upgrades to our customers.

Specifications:
Type: Long Range Maritime Attack Weapon
Length: 10m
Diameter: .80m
Wingspan: 2.1m
Fins: Six rear delta-shaped fins, six forward smaller fins

AMF-1 Phoenix Interceptor

The Phoenix is designed to fulfill a role as naval interceptor and fleet defender while at the same time being an excellent air superiority fighter. Based very loosely upon forward swept wing aircraft, the AMF-1 is capable of incredible acrobatic maneuvers while still retaining high supersonic capabilities.

Available in both land and carrier-based configurations, it is the first fighter designed purely by Agnosticium. The most significant improvement over earlier aircraft is the use of pulse-doppler multi-spectrum wave propagation radar. The millimeter scan imaging system allows point-to-point intercept and accurate data flow for weapons firing. The most beneficial feature, however is the multiple-targeting and fire system allowing the Phoenix to simultaneously launch all weapons at different targets. While in flight, the weapons targeting system also uses encrypted data burst links to allied aircraft to ensure separate targeting of inbound targets. This system can also be programmed to allocate multiple weapons to a certain target for ensured destruction.

The helmet uses fiberoptics to transmit HUD data straight to the visor as a primary with the HUD being secondary and the panel instruments being tertiary. Fly-by-wire systems allow unmatched maneuverability.

Wingspan: 17m
Length: 23m
Height: 6.2m
Powerplant: 2x Godhammer AS-19B turbofans producing 18,690kgf of thrust with afterburning

AM-4 Shameless long range air intercept missile

The shameless is our second response to a long-range air intercept missile, designed to be carried in multiple numbers by your interceptor fighters. The milimeter-wave radar and Specter passive tracking system allow the Shameless to be fired from extreme distances and strike its target with excellent one-shot, one-kill capabilities. The two stage hellstorm rocket engine allows the missile to enact a final radical change of course if need be to home in on a maneuvering target.

Specifications
Length: 4.27m
Diameter: .41m
Wingspan: .97m
Launch Weight: 477kg

Powerplant: Hellstorm Mk IV solid fuel long-burn rocket motor
Speed: Mach 5.1
Maximum Range: 135 mi

Guidance: Millimeter-wave doppler active seeker, Specter passive guidance array, command guided
Warhead: 68kg directional fragmentation

Unit Cost: 525,000 dollars or equivalent

AM-5 Scimitar anti-radiation missile
The Scimitar is designed to fufill the need for an advanced air-to-ground anti-tracking system weapon. Much like the US HARM in shape, it is slightly larger with better range and a larger warhead. Can be modified to fire from internal launch bays as well as its standard hardpoint configuration.

Primary Function: Air-to-surface anti-radiation missile; attack and destroy hostile radar installations

Length: 4.3m
Diameter: .28m
Wing Span: 1.1m
Launch Weight: 380kg

Propulsion: Hellstorm MkI dual-thrust, solid propellent, rocket motor
Range: 95mi
Speed: Mach 2.1

Guidance: ISPY radiation detectin suite, groundpan active radar array, command guided
Warhead: 75kg Blast fragmentation or 75kg thermite penetrator

Unit Cost: 315,000 dollars or equivalent

AM-6 Sandman short-range air intercept missile
The Sandman has four main components: an infrared guidance system, an optical target detector, a rocket motor and a high explosive warhead. The heat-seeking guidance system of the Sandman tracks a target by homing in on the engine exhaust of the targeted aircraft and is therefore inherently more accurate than a radar guided system which are often more susceptable to radar jamming, decoy deployment and other evasive maneuvers. Furthermore, the Sandman can be used in all weather and flight conditions, and by not relying on radar targeting, allows the pilot launching the missile to immediately take evasive action ("fire and forget").

The ISPY-II seeker array is also designed to detect the friction of the aircrat skin versus the air enabling a true all-aspect capability. The relative smokelessness and small cross-section make the Sandman inherently more dangerous than your standard AIM.

Specifications
Primary function: Air-to-air missile

Length: 2.9m
Diameter: .14m
Wingspan: .6m

Propulsion: SWAT-IX solid-propellant rocket motor
Launch Weight: 91kg
Speed: Mach 3.1

Warhead: Annular blast fragmentation warhead
Guidance System: ISPY-II advanced IR seeker array

Unit Cost: 90,000 dollars or equivalent

AMR-5 ACR infantry assault weapon
The AMR-5 is loosely based off of the Heckler & Koch G11 K2 rifle that was successfully tested throughout the 1980s and 1990s. By utilizing caseless ammunition (round is surrounded by explosive matrix) we have relieved soldiers of the thankless task of collecting brass after firing and we have also minimized metal wastage. In addition, the absence of casings prevent enemy foragers from policing our brass for later use against us.

The current rifle fires a larger 7.62mm (versus a 4.7mm round G11) round and has an effective combat range of 300-600m. The integrated sight has both a low-light amplifier and thermal sight settings as well as up to 10x zoom.

The cartridge is fed by means of positive control from the magazine into the chamber within the cylinder. At this point the cartridge is perpendicular to the firing direction. The cylinder then turns clockwise 90°; the cartridge is now in line with the barrel and can be mechanically ignited and fired. The cylinder and chamber are again turned 90° by gas pressure and brought back into the feeding position. When firing bursts and during sustained fire this action is repeated continuously. The main advantages of this system are:

Simple design with few components
Very short overall length of the weapon with a long barrel
Elimination of the rearward travel of the bolt
Shortest possible and absolutely straight cartridge feeding
High rates of fire due to extremely short bolt movements.

The entire mechanical part of the weapon, excluding the trigger, safety and fire selector mechanism is mounted in a floating manner within the sealed receiver. After mechanical ignition of the first cartridge and after the bullet has left the muzzle, the entire mounted part of the weapon moves to the rear and compresses the mount spring.

When firing a 3-round burst, the hammer ignites the second and third cartridge as soon as they are in firing position upon completion of the cylinder rotation. During all three rotation or firing cycles, the mounted part of the weapon moves to the rear at an increased velocity, though it transfers only minimal recoil to the shooter's shoulder. The weapon remains steady in the aimed position; no conventional weapon can achieve these same firing results.

During sustained fire, the hammer remains cocked after the first rotation or firing cycle until the rearward motion of the mounted part of the weapon is completed and the mount spring has driven the mounted part into its forward initial position. Thus, the rate of fire is not determined by the rotation cycle of the bolt, but by the cycle of the mounted part of the weapon. Again, there is no notable recoiI on the shooter's shoulder. As mentioned above, the weapon can be easily controlled in the aiming position to track moving targets, i.e. aimed sustained fire is possible.

Caliber: 7.62 mm
Type: of cartridge caseless
Length of weapon: .82m
Width of weapon: .06m
Height of weapon: .29m
Weight of weapon empty/loaded: 3.6 kg/4.4 kg

AMR-9 long rifle

The AMR-9 satisfies our requirement for a long rifle capable of packing a punch while retaining accuracy. Modeled after the many .50 caliber weapons used int he world today, the AMR-9 is slightly lighter, being made almost toally out of lightweight alloys and composite materials. As a result, it breaks down easily and well not show up in an ordinary metal detector or baggage scan as anything other than a few assorted parts.

The accompanying sighting device is a three-spectrum normal/IR/low-light scope capable of up to 25x magnification. Multiple crosshairs are available and are programmed into the scope via an input channel underneath the rear seating to prevent contamination of the socket.

AMB-1 Halo long range supersonic bomber

With the lessons learned by so many other countries, we have decided to invest in a long-range supersonic bomber with first strike capabilities. using composite materials we have reduced the radar signature of our aircraft to that comparable of an American Rockwell B-1 Lancer, bomber. With external bays closed, the Halo has the radar cross-section of a hummingbird. With the bays open, however, they reveal themselves as small countries on your radar screen. At that point, however (and only if you are range of their radars), it will be too late. Precision munitions will be launched or dropped and the plane is able to make its escape at max burn.

Unlike the B-1 and Tu-160 Blackjack, the Halo does not have a variable-wing geometry. Instead we have decided upon a trapezoidal surface comparable to that of the F-22. In doing so, we have cut the width of the plane in half and yet maintained superb aerodynamics and stealthy capabilities.

The three internal bays allow for up to 80,000lbs of munitions and may be fitted with rack, rotary or nuclear launch platforms. On six external hardpoints, the Halo can carry an additional 54,000 lbs. Each of these are fitted with the requisite electronics to allow for the use of AM-X missiles. Perhaps the greatest feature of the aircrat is its mobility when not in flight. The modular design allows for quick disassembly of the wing and tail surfaces and the aircraft can be transported in our AMC-99 cargo aircraft. Turnaround time for a disassembled aircraft is approximately three hours.

AMF-2 Chimera Air Superiorty Fighter

The AMF-2 is the second in a highly successful line of forward swept wing fighters. Only slightly smaller than the AMF-1 Phoenix, it retains excellent air-to-air capabilities but is designed more as a pure fighter than interceptor. Based on the same body style, the Chimera boasts numerous differences that distinguish it as an air superiorty platform. While the role of this aircrat is somewhat relegated to air-to-air engagements, it still has considerable ground and sea attack capabilities.

it must be understood, however that the Chimera is most deadly in dogfights. Harkening back to the days of yore, the AMF-2 is constructed as a gunfighter with missile capabilities rather than a missile fighter with guns thrown in as an after thought. The two 20mm rotary cannons, capable of up to 5800 rounds per minute, flank the cockpit and lend additional protection from incoming fire if nothing else.

Wingspan: 16m

AMF-5 Hydra Fighter-bomber

Once again the main body of the AMF-1 has been used and modified to create the AMF-5 Hydra. The Hydra differs from the original in more ways than just electronics suite, however. Increased support allows it to carry up to 3,000 lbs of bombs on each hard point. The Godhammer AS-19B turbofans have been replaced with the AS-25A model, providing less overall thrust but increasing mileage and initial acceleration speeds/

The twin-tail configuration of the Phoenix has been altered to give the AMF-5 a triple-fin configuration, substantially increasing lateral mobility at slower speeds. A fourth, smaller fin protrudes from the aircraft while in flight for yet more lateral movement.

The ISPY VI millimeter-wave doppler pan-scan radar is effective out to 500 miles and allows for target designation for other aircraft though its high speed encrypted data-link. The frequency hopping of ths ssytem prevents data corruption or spoofing.

One of the main advantages of the AMF-5 is its ability to carry two AM-2 MAW missiles and fire them simultaneously at separate targets. The AM-2 is one of the most feared anti-ship missiles in the world, likened by many to be superior to the formidable SS-N-22 Sunburn missile sold by the Russian Confederation.

AMG-105 Saint Towed Howitzer

The AMG-105 is a light artillery piece designed for raid deployment and use by forward landing troops. Easily air transportable and parachute deployable, the Saint is exactly that to those it supports. With a composite, lightweight construction, the Saint is easily moved by three individuals. Thsi however does not affect accuracy as numerous field test have shown. Designed for ease of use, the onboard computer calculates its own trjectory based upon the information entered. With the SATLINK IV system, it can communicate with GPS and target acquisition satelites and derive the correct information without factoring in wind shear and atmospheric effects. These are input by the user and the weapon is ready to fire.

AMG-135a Redeemer Self Propelled Artillery

The AMG-135a is the inital model of a line of self-propelled 105mm howitzers desinged to place maximum firepower down range and onto its target. Unique among artillery pieces, the Redeemer is a twin-barrelled artillery piece. Both barrels can be independently vertically aimed to allow maximum lattitude when "walking-in" rounds onto a target.

Based on an AMG-100 chassis, the Redeemer also has direct-fire capabilities and could be considered a hybrid between tank and artillery piece.

The 135mm shells used by the Redeemer come laser-guided, conventional or as RAPs (Rocket Assisted Projectiles). The ETE-7 Fellhand guidance/target acquisition system uses the SATLINK communications array to accurately acquire targets and factors in wind velocites and weather effects. The back-up dynamic prism is identical to that on the Excelsior MBT and allow for deadly accurate fire in the manual mode.

AMS-2 Revenant class battlecruiser

Although the term battlecruiser usually refers to WWII and Cold War era vessels, the Revenant class of ships brethes new life into a dying category of naval vessels. The Revenant is the answer to the question of a feasible nuclear warship capable of high speeds and both missile and gun offensive capabilities. The Poseidon II series multi-mode tracking system improves upon common sonar types and provides the operator with three separate views of the surrounding area, surface, below surface and above surface objects. The aqua-scan resonance mapper provides an accurate 3-d map of subsurface areas of up to 75nm radius around the vessel. The millimeter-wave doppler clean sweep radar array gives an accurate picture of aerial objects in 3-d space up to 500nm away while the ground pan acuisition system can track surface contacts up to 450nm in distance.

With the advent of missile systems, vessels had been turning away from the deck gun systems of the 20th century. The Revenant and sister ships revive that very weapon with two three-barrelled 15-inch turrets, one located to the fore and the other to the aft of the vessel. In addition, the forward magazine holds 48 AM-2 MAW anti-ship missiles. Additional armament include 36 AM-12 CHAOS (Coastal/Harbor Attack & Obliteration System) missiles located in the rear magazine of the ship, four Mk-1B 8-cannister AM-1 ALRAIM launchers with 16 missiles apiece in the midships magazines, six Mk-67 20mm rotary cannon point defense systems and 2 Mk-113 ASROC (anti submarine rocket) systems.

AM-12 CHAOS (Coastal & Harbor Attack & Obliteration System) cruise missile

The AM-12 CHAOS is a brand new, coastal cruise missile with exceptional shoreline capabilities. We have restricted this weapon to coastal attack simply because it allows us to create a specialized guidance system unmatched by any other system in the world.

The Foehammer S-1C guidance system is unlike any other. The first difference is the computer database within the seeker that contains the profile of all commercial naval vessels and their specifications and composition to allow for accurate identification. This database allows the advanced detection suite to analyze any vessel thought to be normal and check it for construction anomalies which could give away a vessel disguised to hide its intent.

In addition, the Foehammer system maintains a satellite multi-spectral data burst link to one) ensure proper navigation to the target and two) return survey and observation data from in-flight operations. This gives many advantages. One, the 360 degree high-speed digital recorders map a visual 3-D picture of the corridor of flight, delivering up-to-date information on the area. Two, the seeker head assesses its own target and relays data on it back to the defense network of the parent nation. Using standard calculations, the on-board system calculates length, width, height, tonnage and displacement. The digital recorders also capture multiple images of the target to add to national databases for future operations.

Like the AM-2 MAW, the CHAOS is exceptionally fast, but it also has increased range over its predecessor and can be used on targets up to one mile inland.

AMG-45 Emminence Light Tank

The Emminence was designed on a smaller version of the AMG-100 Excelsior MBT and with the mindset of a smaller, faster, lighter tank to support the advance echelons of the ground commander's armored spearhead. With speed in mind, the Emminence loses a bit in terms of armor, but retains a high probability of survival under a direct hit from most other nations' main battle tanks.

With speed in mind, the AMG-45 retains the same turbine engine of the Excelsior; the lighter chassis allowing the Emminence to attain higher speeds and greater accelleration, enabling it to effectively run circles around the Excelsior. The 120mm smooth bore main gun gives the AMG-45 excellent direct fire capability with a projectile matching most main battle tanks. The Emminence also retains the same target acquisition system of the AMG-100 although firing on the move is slightly less accurate due to the inferior counter weight of the light tank.

AMF-10 Manticore Close Air Support Aircraft

The AMF-10 is, simply, the finest ground attack aircraft in this region of the world. Like the plane from which many concepts were borrowed, it was designed for survivability, agility and high payload capacity, not speed and high-tech gadgetry. Where the A-10 Thunderbolt II left off, the Manticore picks up and delivers beautifully, the end result being a faster, equally accurate and survivable jet with a larger payload.

The fly-by-wire system delivers unparalleled agility and its triple redundancy mean that unless it takes three critical hits, the Manticore will be making it home. Of note is the new AES-EagleEye I ground attack radar which uses millimeter wave spectral analysis to sweep the ground, delivering a 3-dimensional image of targets and assigning them designations. The system has the ability to read the profile of the vehicles and compare them with its own database (software upgrades available to customize friend/foe profiles) and declare them hostile or not without IFF. If the target is identified as friendly, the computer will refuse to acknowledge it as a target. The pilot must then actively designate the target himself, taking on the responsibility of potential fratricide.

Other systems of note are the digital terapixel and low-light cameras that are positioned to give the pilot a full sphere of visual accuracy in all conditions. The image is transmitted into the helmet via the radio feed and displayed across the visor allowing the pilot to turn his/her head in all directions and see with increased accuracy. A tongue switch activates the zoom, giving hte pilot the ability to see beyond his/her own eyesight to accurately engage targets.

Also, the AWG-9 system of the F-14 Tomcat has been adapted, shrunk and installed to give the Manticore limited air-to-air capabilities. The wintip missile rails can hold up to medium-sized mid-range air intercept missiles and are fully wired for program interface should that be necessary in flight.

AM-22 Stalker Air-to-Ground Anti-Armor Missile

The AM-22 Stalker is the Agnos Arms equivalent to the US Maverick. With similar profiels and capabilities, these two missiles spell certain doom for the vehicles they target. Slightly larger and longer, the AM-22 has a longer range and packs more of a punch in the anticipation of more heavily armored vehicles in the future.

Like the Maverick, the Stalker is available in multiple models to reduce the costs of each weapon. A larger, more sophisitcated system (AM-23 Sickle) combines most of these models into one larger, more flexible. The Stalker's specialized roles, however, do not detract from its potency, simply a slight restriction of use.

Stalker I: has an digital-optical television guidance system. After the protective dome cover is automatically removed from the nose of the missile and its video circuitry activated, the scene viewed by the guidance system appears on a cockpit television screen as well as a pilot-optional visor view. The pilot selects the target, centers cross hairs on it, locks on, then launches the missile. The digital picture is capable of 15x zoom.

Stalker II: has an imaging infrared guidance system, operated much like that of the I model, except that infrared video overcomes the daylight-only, adverse weather limitations of the other system. The infrared Stalker II can track heat generated by a target and provide the pilot a pictorial display of the target during darkness and hazy or inclement weather. The sensor suite of the Stalker is accurate enough to detect 2 degree differences in the target area.

Stalker III: used in conjunction with ground or airborne laser designators, the missile seeker, searches a sector 9 miles across and over 15 miles ahead. If the missile loses laser spot, the scondary GPS receiver guides the missile onto last known location of the target.

Stalker IV: essentially has the same guidance system as the II, with some software modifications that track larger targets. The IV model's major difference is its heavyweight penetrator warhead, while Stalker I, II and III models employ the shaped-charge warhead.

AMG-24 Harvester Multiple Launch Rocket/Missile System

With the success of modern MLRSs the Agnostican government has made it clear that a domestic version of that same equipment be produced for the military and for sale to foreign countries. Based, loosely, upon the US ATACMs unit, the Harvester provides the ground commander with a long-range, accurate and devestaing weapon, perfect for saturation artillery, supresion of enemy artillery batteries and simply just blasting the hell out of the opposition.

Mounted in two 6-missile/rocket cannisters, the AM-18 Scythe is the preferred weapon for the Harvester. With its large payload, the AM-18 can deliver a huge amount of conventional destrustion, disperse biological agents, carry a tactical nuclear warhead of 12kT or be used to disperse anti-personnel or armor mines. The cannisters are mounted on a swivel mount tracked and armored chassis to allow increased survivability. An amphibious vehicle, their is almost nowhere the AMG-24 cannot go.

AM-101 Flash Rocket System

The AM-101 rocket system is designed to provide commanders with a larger payload rocket with range and accuracy but easily mounted on multiple platforms. Most common is integration with the AMG-24 Harvester MLRMS where 24 rockets can be used in concert to rain destruction upon an enemy. The AM-101 is conventional, tactical nuclear or bio/chemical capable, the conventional either high explosive air burst, anti-personnel or anti-armor cluster munitions.

The AM-101 can also be found in a four rocket cannister mounted on the AMG-98 Series light assault vehicles.

Guidance for the AM-101 can come from multiple sources, the primary being the launching computer's high speed multi-spectral data link. The onboard system also has a GPS navigation suite and will trace to last known co-ordiantes of the target should the data link be severed. Gyroscopic stabilization insures straight flight of the weapon as well.

AM-18 Scythe Ground-to-Ground Missile

The AM-18 is an extremely effective ground-to-groud missile capable of incredible destruction. Adapted from the US Army ATACMs missile, the AM-18 improves vastly over its predecessor in range, payload and accuracy. Usually fired from the AMG-24 MLRMS, the AM-18 is then even more effectie as it can be used to saturate a target with multiple warhead effects.

At first glance, the Scythe looks like any othe rmissile, but it is on the inside that the changes are most evident. First off, the payload compartment is triple sealed to prevent biohazard leaks. The guidance system consists of a SATCOM data-link and interface input from the controlling firing platform. With these two guidance systems, Scythe sccuracy has been observed at 96%.

AMH-1 Crusader Attack Helicopter
The AMH-1 Crusader fills the role of armored attack helicopter exceptionally well, able to absorb rounds of up to 25mm in size and still bear it's crew home safely. Designed as a shock-tactic helicopter, the layout is reminescent of a hammerhead shark, with the advanced radar and detection systms in a substantially armored front swiveling "hammer". The purpose of this swivel is for the Hunterer-III ground-scan radar to provide the pilot and weapons officer with accurate and constant 3-D battlefield imaging in a 270 degree arc around the helicopter. The rear 90 degrees is covered by a Backdrop-I rear scan radar mounted in the tail rotor assembly. The Ocelot-I air-to-air radar provides the pilot with accurate navigation data and airborne information to increase his situational awareness. The detection suite is located within the blades of the main rotor and allow for a seamless 3-d image of airspace within a 35 mile radius of the helicopter.

The Crusader varies from most helicopters by having the tail rotor encased within the framework of the tail. By using variable angled blades, the Crusader is more agile than every other helicopter save the US Comanche. Like the Comanche, however, the Crusader has full lateral movement and can, thus, move at almost 100mph side to side. This tail configuration also enables barrell rolls and split-s maneuvers usually reserved for fixed-wing aircraft. The wings of the Crusader are heavily laden with munitions and there are five common configurations: Anti-armor, Anti-personnel, Recon, Escort and Anti-facility.

AMS-3 Sentinel Class Battleship

The Sentinel class of ship is a formidable weapons platform for any navy, capable of surface-to-surface engagement (long and close range), surface-to-air engagement and sea-to-shore engagement. Larger than the Revenant by almost two-hundred feet, the Sentinel is a massive vessel.

Constructed of composite materials and plated with chobham-style armor instead of the usual steel and titanium belts, the Sentinel is actually lighter than most other capital ships of similar size and purpose. The hull is separated into 200 different watertight compartments to minimize the damage of anti-ship missiles and the composite materials make for effective heat sinks in the event of a fire.

One stand-out system aboard the Sentinel is the FABS (Foam Anti-Breach System) breach-management system that lines all portions of the vessel where water might breach the hull in the event of attack or collision. When activated or after the compartment has been filled halfway with water, the auto-reactive foam particles are ejected into the water and instantly swell and harden, plugging the breach and filling the afflicted compartment with a light composite foam with excellent buoyancy capabilities. In the event that the breach damages the FABS console in a compartment, the foam automatically fires and fills the area.

The Sentinel also has an extremely advanced electronics suite designed to maximize survivability and information flow, as well as disrupt enemy detection efforts. The Goliath II SATDATA imaging system is the primary system for the Sentinel warships, linking in high-speed, multi-spectrum, encrypted data bursts to global satellites to provide an accurate worldwide picture with a zoom enabling the tracking and viewing of objects up to .5m in size. The David IIIS tracking computer works alongside the Goliath and uses the incoming data to create an accurate targeting display and reduces the strain upon the Goliath system. With one simply providing the picture and the other using the data to identify, track and co-ordinate targets, this array is compositely known as the Hercules IV. Each vessel has three Hercules IV tracking systems.

Weapons are not as issue when it comes to the Sentinel as it boasts four four-gun 16” turrets with gyroscopic stabilization, two forward missile magazines, one containing 30 AM-2 MAW and the other containing 30 AM-12 CHAOS missiles. The two rear missile magazines contain the same armament. Amidships, there are eight magazines, four on each side of the vessel, the forward two containing 24 AM-1 ALRAIM missiles, the next armed with 24 AM-4 Shameless and the last with AM-5 Scimitar missiles. Point air defense weapons include six 20mm Mk-67 rotary cannons (5,800rpm) and six 30mm Mk-68 rotary cannons for close-in anti-boarding craft defense.

AMS-4 Heretic Class Missile Frigate

The Heretic class of ships was developed to complement the already substantial firepower of the AMS-3 Sentinel and AMS-2 Revenant classes of vessels. Unlike these other two classes, the Heretic is a specialised vessel designed as a missile platform, both offensive and defensive. The magazines of the ship are replete with five different types of missiles as well as the rounds for the twin 8" ship-to-target engagement cannon.

Able to sustain speeds of up to 45 knots, the AMS-4 is a fast and agile ship, making it an excellent escort to the larger vessels in anyone's fleet. The Godseye VII tracking system allows the ships in this class to track up to 1,000 targets and the Hercules II system for 3-d worldwide imaging is also present.

AMS-5 Kraken Class Escort Destroyer

The Kraken class of vessels was designed with the express purpose of defending the fleet from incoming aerial and submerged attacks. Through use of the Hercules II radar system, the Kraken has worldwide visibility and the ability to track up to 1,000 different targets. The limited weapons capacity only allows the destroyer to engage a smaller portion of that number, but aircraft and missiles from other launch sources can utilize the system as their own guidance as well.

The Poseidon IIB sonar suite uses a millimeter-wave propagation device to allow for accurate depth sounding as well as to provide an accurate three-dimensional picture within a 50-mile radius of the vessel. The fiberglass of the hull is also dotted with sweeping targeting lasers that enable the vessel to get pinpoint range on a target out to 1,500m. Past that, the refractive qualities of the water make the weapon ineffective. Reliance on the Poseidon array is suggested and the laser targeting system is best utilized as a back-up system or a reinforcement suite to complement the Poseidon.

The Kraken class of ships, while average in size to other escort destroyers is much lighter and faster, the hull being constructed out of high strength fiberglass composites, then layered with an anechoic coating to reduce sonar signature. This extremely light hull is further reinforced with the FABS (Foam Anti-Breach System) device and allows for much higher speeds than normal for a vessel of this size.

Armament consists of a single 5” deck gun, four Mk-67 20mm rotary cannon point defense systems, the Inferno dynamic swivel missile launch system in the rear and fore of the ship, a two magazine forward VLS system, two AM-30 MAST systems to the rear and six side launching torpedo tubes (three on each side of the vessel and located amidships.

AMS-6 Repressor Class Aircraft Carrier

The Repressor class of aircraft carriers meets the modern standard of naval supremacy through delivery of airpower. Large, fast, maneuverable and able to survive in the most hostile of environments, the Repressor is a floating city as well as flight line.

Slightly larger than the US Nimitz class of aircraft carriers, the Repressor dwarfs most other ships in its presence. At 1,205 feet long, this carrier is four times as long as a football field. At 300 feet wide, she is as wide as a football field is long across the flight deck. Able to carry 96 fighter aircraft as well as an additional 10 helicopters, the AMS-6 can deliver an inordinate amount of firepower to its target(s).

With four nuclear reactors powering the ship, the range is unlimited and the near-unlimited power source also allows for innovation to abound with the vessel. Heat from the reactors is collected and dispersed throughout the ship during the colder months and is also used to heat the water for showers, the swimming pool and three hot-tubs. Also, the power is used in flight operations as the four aircraft catapults are all magnetically accelerated instead of the older steam powered systems. By using electromagnetic acceleration, there are fewer maintenance issues and the reliability of the mechanism is increased by over 500%.

A full hospital is available on board the vessel with facilities to include childbirth and neurosurgery. The entire medical facility is located within a gyroscopic stabilization sphere to allow for perfect balance even while the rest of the ship moves slightly during squalls. Four large athletic facilities are available for crew usage and a fifth available for the use of the officers of the ship.

Berthing space is not a problem and for the first time in carrier history, a bunk is available for all hands. Hydroponic farms in the lower hull allow the ship to grow its own produce and the composite construction of the hull allow for plentiful windows and retractable surfaces to improve the overall quality of life. The library of each vessel is delivered to the buyer complete with classical, modern and popular literature as well as “stress relief” sections. This is optional and may be removed per each purchasers request.

Four aircraft elevators grace the sides of the ship and allow for rapid deployment of aircraft during flight operations. The rear two elevators are also large enough to accommodate two aircraft each, allowing for the rapid deployment of half of a squadron.

AMS-7 Vanguard Class Escort Frigate

The Vanguard class of frigate forms a capable undersea warfare platform with the AMH-9 Krait helicopter onboard. The Mk-22 MOD II missile launcher provides secondary anti-air capabilities with the AM-4 Shameless missile. It’s primary role is as support, however, each vessel is easily capable of holding its own against most threats.

Frigates fulfill a Protection of Shipping (POS) mission as Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) combatants for amphibious expeditionary forces, underway replenishment groups and merchant convoys. Vanguard-class frigates are primarily Undersea Warfare ships intended to provide open-ocean escort of amphibious ships and convoys in low to moderate threat environments in a global war. They could also provide excellent defense against anti-ship missiles. The ships are equipped to escort and protect carrier battle groups, amphibious landing groups, underway replenishment groups and convoys. They can also conduct independent operations to perform such tasks as counter-drug surveillance, maritime interception operations, and exercises with other nations.

Once again the Hercules IV system proves its worth and the tracking system has been upgraded specifically for this class of vessel to the David IV, enabling the targeting of up to 1,700 separate targets. Once again, a composite hull lowers sonar signature while increasing tensile strength to improve armor and the FABS device is also implemented.

AMS-80 Hammerhead Class Nuclear Attack Submarine

The Hammerhead is the Agnostican government's first domestic attack submarine class and it is loosely based off of the Russian Akula (Bars) class of submarine. Being a third generation nuclear powered boat, this class of submarine is extremely silent and hard to detect through passive sonar. The titanium double hull is covered with a thick layer of anechoic coating to further cut down vessel noice as are the interior walkways, galleys and compartments. Her single shaft has two propellers on it that turn in opposing directions which significantly reduces cavitation noises. The torpedo and VLS tubes use a new syncronous open/fire mechanism to partially eliminate the noise created with each step of the launch system (flood tubes, open doors, fire). Now,t he water is injected into the tubes and the weapon fires with the doors shut, the pressure of the weapon being fired then slamming opening the tube for use. This system can be disabled and the usual fire sequence observed, however. One newer feature is also the re-introduction of rear-firing torpedo tubes of which the AMS-80 series have two to facilitate firing should the submarine be under rear pursuit.

The Angler IIIS sonar suite gives the Hammerhead a digital three-dimensional view of the surrounding ocean for 100 miles in every direction, backed by a sweeping laser array that further pinpoints targets out to 20 miles. The towed scanner allows the submarine to procure surface data via high speed SATCOM data bursts to add to the submerged picture, resulting in excellent battlefield awareness.

AMS-84 Tigershark Class Nuclear Attack Submarine

The Tigershark is Agnosticium's second class of nuclear attack submarines designed behind a more complicated and diverse mission than the AMS-80 series. Larger, equally fast but with many modifications to include lesser sound signature and increased weapons capacity make the Tigershark a more formidable foe. With an additional 20 meters in length, the weapons and storage capacity of the Tigershark are 30% and 100% greater, respectively, than that of the Hammerhead. One the deck, a deployable AM-3 Silence launcher with 8 missiles provides protection from aircraft when surfaced as well as the AM-30 Silverfish MANPADS.

Once again, the twinscrew, single shaft propulsion ssytem is used, however the screws are surounded with an anechoic barrier to direct all cavitation noises diretly aft. Their variable pitch and the inclusion of a rudder directly aft of the screws allow the Tigershark excellent agility while maintaining flank speeds of just over 45 knots. For surface threats, the AM-2 anti-ship missile is used while the AM-12 CHOAS is used for coastal targeting. The introduction of the AM-13 Scalpel cruise missile will provide the AMS-84 series with deadly accurate inland targeting with cluster, high-explosive, chemical/biological or high-yield nuclear warheads.

AMS-86 Apocalypse Class Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarine
The Apocalypse class of vessel was built to meet Agnosticium's need for a long range, nuclear deterrent that only the ballistic missile submarine can provide. Able to hide in the world's oceans and then strike anywhere it pleases, the ballistic missile submarine has long been a mainstay of any major world power. The Apocalypse simply adds itself to that class of fleet missile submarines.

Built with a triple-hull configuration, this class of submersible can attain depths previously uncharted by fleet ballistic submarines. At 250 meters in length, the Apocalypse is just over 800 feet... almost three football fields long. The titanium hull is extremely flexible and strong to allow the submarine to go to depths in excess of 700 meters. The triple screws, each powered by its own reactor can drive the Apocalypse through the water at a maximum speed of 37 knots, submerged.

The destructive capability of the Apocalypse class of ships is considerable, whether nuclear or conventional. Able to carry forty AM-667 Scourge ballistic missiles, these submarines can lay waste to any nation. Each AM-667 is capped with a 6 250kT-warhead bus with independent targeting, shielding and terminal guidance, enabling a single missile to destroy four cities within a 300 mile radius. Each Satan missile can be replaced by its conventional counterpart, the AM-668 Shade which uses the same body, rocket and guidance package but only carries a single 15,000lb fuel-air-explosive warhead. The forward VLS system can also carry up to 16 AM-2 MAW or AM-12 CHAOS missiles for anti-shipping or coastal assault. Six forward torpedo tubes with a basic load-out of 36 Mk-44 torpedoes rounds out the armament.

AMH-2 Valkyrie Multi-purpose Helicopter

The AMH-2 was designed with the intent of providing the military with a multi-purpose platform adaptable to any situation where rotary-wing aircraft are required. Based around the concept of a medium chassis capable of transporting up to twelve troops, the Valkyrie has a large twin-turbine propulsion system capable of propelling the craft to 193 mph. The tail rotor is contained within the framework of the tail itself, much like the Crusader, which enables exceptional lateral mobility and faster pivots as well as barrel rolls in either direction.

The cockpit is made of ultra-tempered glass, inlaid with transparent composites to prevent shattering. The high-tensile fibers allow the transparent surface to absorb the blast of an RPG-7 direct hit with only severe spider-webbing. This allows the pilot time enough to settle the aircraft and either withdraw or to use the All-Seeing-Eye 3-D observation system to continue the mission. The surface has been tested and will remain intact, although no longer transparent up to 12 direct hits with an RPG-7. Unfortunately, upon impact of the final round, the surface will shatter violently and potentially cause serious injury.

The Valkyrie is most commonly used as a troop transport and is exceptional in this quality. Able to deliver a full squad of troops wherever needed with supporting fire as they disembark make this aircraft an air-assault essential. Descent cables can either be affixed to the upper edge of the troop doors or above each seat. The unique TEC(Troop Evacuation and Cable) system allows the floors beneath the troops seats to hinge, staggering the release of personnel for safe and expedient debarkation of the helicopter. If configured for gunship missions, the Valkyrie can support up to four wing surfaces, two on the upper fuselage and two along the lower fuselage. The upper wing surface can support substantially more weapons than the lower but is also able to support external fuel tanks. If the upper wing surface does not have weapons on it, mini-guns may be mounted in the crew chief positions.

AM-30 Silverfish Man-Portable Air Defense System

The AM-30 Silverfish is designed as a low altitude MANPAD. Cheap, effective and simple to use, it allows ground commanders a measure of relief when anticipating rotary-wing or ground attack aircraft. Based upon the FIM-92 Stinger missile system, the warhead uses a passive IR seeker chip that is able to distinguish temperature differences in skin friction of the aircraft, making it a true all-aspect missile. It also has a designator chip that acquires the target visually and locks onto it, disregarding flares or other countermeasures.

AMS-75 Thresher Class Diesel Electric Attack Submarine

The AMS-75 is the low-economy brother of the AMS-80 Hammerhead class of submarine. Designed with the same overall specifications, the only true difference is in the propulsion system. Unlike the nuclear reactors that the Hammerhead is powered by, the Thresher uses a highyl efficient diesel system. Unfortunately this also means that the noise signature is significantly larger and the weapons capacity is slightly less due to the requirement to store fuel. Also, the AMS-75 only has an endurance of half the Hammerhead at 90 days.

The one advantage that the Thresher holds over the Hammerhead and other nuclear powered submarines is the lead-acid battery bank. While the submarine engages its diesels, these batteries charge up and, once fully charged, offer the submarine up to 90 hours of operation at 1/3 speed, 36 hours at maximum speed and all systems go.

AM-31 Starling Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile

The Starling is the first in a series of SAMs designed to protect the airspace of its parent country. Based loosely upon the AM-1 ALRAIM, it is a devastatingly effective weapon against aerial targets of all types. Unlike the ALRAIM, the Starling has a slightly improved guidance package as well as high tech atmospheric sensors.

The Hermes II atmospheric sensing package uses a SATCOM/ground guidance/air guidance encrypted hyperlink to download information on the surrounding atmosphere and detect changes in pressure, temperature and airflow. By doing so, the missile is capable of determining if something is moving through the air that it cannot actively see with its infrared, visual, or ultraviolet sensors. If the missile comes to the conclusion that there is something it cannot detect, it will relay the location to guidance computers and then initiate terminal guidance, shooting for the calculated source of the disturbance. The shaped directional high explosive charge will then detonate to damage the craft.

The twin-stage solid propellant motor is designed to launch the AM-31 from the canister in excess of mach 3 to then accelerate to mach 5+. The first stage handles launch and initial course correction at which time the missile (if not having already impacted on the target) deploys two swept wing surfaces and redirects course to its target. The second motor engages and the wings shear off, fins deploying for terminal engagement while the attitude control mechanism uses vectored thrust to further ensure target interception.

Though a relatively large missile, the missile's speed and anechoic coating and composite frame make it difficult to track by radar as the solid fuel is also relatively smokelss in comparison to other missile of this size (which still means it leaves one hell of a smoke trail).

Specifications:
Type: Medium Range Point Defense Surface-to-Air Missile
Length: 5.8m
Diameter: .5m
Wingspan: .75m/2m
Fins: Four Trapezoidal fins/ two swept wings
[b]Launch Weight: 925 kg

AMS-77 Whitetip Class Diesel Electric Ballistic Missile Submarine

The AMS-77 was designed to provide the Agnostican Navy with an efficient yet deadly nuclear weapons platform without the cost of a nuclear reactor. Running on batteries, the Whitetip is quieter than even the quietest nuclear submarine and its ability to dive further than most other ballistic missile submarines gives it an advantage while evading detection.

Able to carry up to twenty ballistic missiles in her dorsal bay, the AMS-77 has the potential to rain death upon 60 different targets. Each AM-666 Satan ballistic missile has a bus of three 200kiloton nuclear warheads that can independently target objectives within a 200 mile radius of the central target.

As with all diesel-electric submarines made by Agnos Arms, the battery operated back-up systems are more efficient than that of the primary diesel system, giving the vessel superior handling and control while using its most silent propulsion means.

Specifications
Primary Function: Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine

AM-666 Satan Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile

The AM-666 is the first submarine launched ballistic missile built by the Agnos Arms corporation. With a three warhead bus, each with a 200kt yield, each missile has the capability to attack three separate targets within a 200 mile radius. As Agnosticium has moved into the status of a moderate world power, the concept of nuclear deterrent has been accepted as larger nations or even some smaller may seek to undermine the sovereignty of the country.

The AM-666 is only found on the AMS-77 class ballistic missile submarine. Each submarine has the capacity to carry twenty of these missiles thus giving one vessel the ability to decimate up to sixty targets. The missile itself is a three-stage rocket with a range of approximately 4500 miles. Guidance is inertial upon launch, followed by GPS, direct SATCOM link and command guidance. The warhead bus re-enters the atmosphere where it sheds its re-entry heat shield and disperses the warheads along the desired trajectories. Each warhead then guides itself, uses the satellite link or command guidance to its final target.

The AM-666 is the same dimensions as the American Trident II and is therefore interchangeable as long as the firing computers are compatible.

Specifications
Primary Function: Strategic Nuclear Deterrence
Power Plant: Three-stage solid-propellant rocket
Length: 44 feet (13.41 meters)
Weight: 130,000 pounds (58,500 kg)

AM-667 Scourge Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile

The AM-667 Scourge is the next step in the evolution of the Agnostican Ballistic missile program. Slightly larger than the AM-666 Satan, the Scourge has a larger bus with increased warhead capacity as well as warhead yield. The AM-666 mounts a triple 200kT warhead set while the AM-667 carries six 250kT warheads. Typically deployed from AMS-86 Apocalypse class vessels, these missiles give any nation a deadly attack range and nuclear deterrent.

The AM-667 is a three stage ballistic missile with multiple guidance including GPS, SATCOM datalink and command guidance. The outer skin of the missile is a “burn away” material that peels off as the missile exits the atmosphere, the friction caused allowing this skin to be removed, revealing a glassy reflective surface (in actuality, glass prisms) designed to counter SDI initiatives by simply deflecting incoming light away from the body of the missile.

Upon re-entry and disposal of the heat shield, the bus releases its payload within a radius of 300 miles from the actual target. Time in flight allowing the warheads to detach and initiate terminal guidance packages.

Specifications
Primary Function: Strategic Nuclear Deterrence
Power Plant: Three-stage solid-propellant rocket
Length: 45 feet (13.72 m)
Weight: 140,000 pounds (63,636 kg)

Range: Greater than 5,300 miles (8,480 km)
Guidance System: Inertial, GPS, SATCOM datalink, Command Guidance
Warheads: 6x Thermonuclear MIRV (Multiple Independently Targetable re-entry Vehicle); Maneuverable Re-entry Vehicle – 250kT each
Platform: Ballistic Missile Submarine

Unit Cost: 29 million dollars or equivalent

AM-668 Shade Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile

The AM-668 Shade is the conventional equivalent of the AM-667 Scourge missile in all respects. Using the same fuselage, propulsion system, guidance package and re-entry vehicle, it is designed to provide commanders with the ability to launch a non-nuclear first strike. Substantially cheaper than its nuclear relative, the Shade still has the ability to lay waste to an area of approximately 1000 square meters. Blast effects extend another 2000 meters.

The 18,000lb fuel air explosive uses an extremely volatile liquid that disperses via extreme pressure from within the missile. Upon detonation, the forward pressure wave expands the fuel outwards before it can all ignite resulting in the significant blast radius. The ignition of the fuel causes a tremendous overpressure in the local area, the heat and blast effects felt for an additional 2000 meters. Within the actual 1000 meter blast, most structures are destroyed and personnel incinerated. With the initial blast complete, the resulting negative pressure area, caused by the consumption of oxygen and hydrogen, induces the explosion of over-pressured objects such as human bodies due to the vacuum.

While conventional in design and implementation, the AM-668 Shade is still a devastating weapon with particular effectiveness against open air targets such as an encamped military force.

Specifications
Primary Function: Strategic Conventional First Strike
Power Plant: Three-stage solid-propellant rocket
Length: 45 feet (13.72 m)
Weight: 140,000 pounds (63,636 kg)

AM-35 Silverhawk Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Missile

The AM-35 is a ground or aircraft launched missile designed with the express purpose of terminating enemy satellites. Using a twin-stage solid fuel rocket motor, the AM-35 achieves extra-terrestrial intercept orbit and then shuts itself off, becoming that much more of a piece of space junk. Coated with a dull composite ceramic, the Silverhawk is extremely difficult to acquire visually.

Not a very large missile, hardly larger than the AIM-54 Phoenix missile the body is based on, it simply flies along an intercept orbit. Once the seekerhead acquires the target via its own sensors, the AM-35 makes minor corrections via vectored thrust rockets in the aft section of the missile. Still relatively passive, the missile closes in on its target, sending out its first ranging laser within 500 meters. This action is brief and gives the missile final information on the target satellite and the terminal sequence is initiated. The weapon simply fires its primary thrust once again, now peeling back the composite skin to reveal the multi-facet prisms designed to defeat laser weapons and drives into the target before detonating its 150lb warhead.

Early tests have shown the AM-35 to be extremely successful at satellite interception and termination. A newer model, the AM-35a is being designed for use against extra-atmospheric craft.

Specifications
Primary Function: Anti-Satellite Missile
Power Plant: Twin stage solid propellant rocket motor

AMH-9 Krait Anti-Submarine Warfare Helicopter

The AMH-9 Krait is a multi-mission helicopter featuring dual Agnos Electric AE2023 engines, which give the aircraft true single engine capability throughout any mission configuration and profile. Standard mission equipment in the Agnostican Holy Navy configuration includes: the AN/HM-536 acoustic data processor and a state-of-the-art sonobuoy processor that incorporates the best features of any Undersea Warfare (USW) equipment in the world today.

Tactical data from the radar, Electronic Support Measures (ESM), acoustic processors, and Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD) are integrated through the AIT-MRC 159b mk1 data bus and displayed on the AN/ASW-2 tactical navigation set. This allows the crew to function simultaneously in a multi-mission battle space scenario including USW, Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), Anti-Ship Surveillance and Targeting (ASST), as well as utility functions such as search and rescue, vertical replenishment, and medical evacuation.

The maximum gross weight of the aircraft—13,500 pounds—gives this medium weight helicopter the unique ability to operate from the smallest combatants yet carry payloads that enable diverse mission loads and extended times on station. Options include: a dipping sonar, Forward Looking Infra-Red (FLIR), missile systems, and helicopter self-protection equipment such as jammers, laser-based mine detection suites, missile warning equipment, and chaff systems.

Primary missions of the AMH-9 are anti-submarine warfare (ASW)and anti-ship surveillance and targeting (ASST). Secondary missions include search and rescue, vertical replenishment, medical evacuation, communications relay, personnel transfer, surveillance and reconnaissance, post-attack damage assessment, and naval gunfire spotting. Armament systems consist of two search stores systems (sonobuoy's and marine location marker's), an external weapons/stores system for external fuel tanks or torpedoes, and a countermeasures dispensing system.

AMH-16 Copperhead Ship Borne Multi-Purpose Helicopter

The Copperhead is based upon the basic design of the MH-53 Pavelow. A large helicopter capable of carrying up to 60 troops, its primary function is ship-to-shore troop transport as well as ASW duties. In both of these missions, this aircraft excels.

During troop transport, the crew chief positions mount 7.62mm rotary chainguns capable of 4800 rounds per minute. The ramp may also be fitted with a twin .50cal weapon for rear defense. An inner row of seats may be added, doubling the troop carrying capacity of 30 to 60. Egress points are crew doors just behind the crew chief positions and the armament sponsons, as well as two troop doors that open underneath the aircraft. Also, the rear ramp may be used for both embarkation and disembarkation.

When configured in an anti-sub/ship configuration, the AMH-16 is decidedly lethal, able to carry up to four torpedoes as well as two cruise or anti-ship missiles. Also capable of carrying the AM-1 Advanced Long Range Air Intercept Missile, the Copperhead can add to the anti-air capability of its launching platform. When fully configured for submarine hunting duties, the AMH-16 has two rear-ejection devices for depth charges and can hold up to 16 depth charges.

Sophisticated electronics include the AES-12H Beagle submarine detection device. Equipped with a dipping instrument, the Beagle has a magnetic anomaly detector, laser range finder, passive and active sonar and a thermal imaging scanner. In addition, the turbidity sensor on board the aircraft maps the thermal imaging scans and produces a chart of sub-surface activity, enabling it to see the wake of a vessel it can’t detect by other means.

Actually Glodark, you probably want to check that those weapons are in his inventory (which they aren't) :D . When buying weapons, you need to read the thread for clues as to what is being sold. In this case, the first post has Agnosticium's entire inventory, the price and where in his thread it can be found. Then you submit your order according to what he is selling for th price he has listed (or you can try and barter) and then you indicate that you money has been wired (all role-play) and he indicates that he has delivered or he will outline the delivery plan for you.

AMT-1 Hermes Shuttle Tanker

The AMT-1 is a specialized vessel designed for quick replenishment of military and civilian seafaring vessels. It is also designed as a production ship and thus includes a medium sized refinery for oil processing. At 253 meters (830 ft), each vessel is nearly the length of three football fields. Mostly automated systems reduce the crew to two shifts of relaxed work and the ships are designed with many amenities for the crews to enjoy. With a transport capacity of 2.6 million refined/usable gallons and the ability to process oil, the Hermes is indispensable to any country.

There is a three-room surgical/medical facility with all the necessary tools for childbirth, surgery and other complicated procedures. The ship’s library contains 10,000 volumes of classical, modern and popular literature as well as 5,000 DVD movies. Each cabin is furnished with its own bathroom, bunk, desk, walk-in closet, two chairs and an entertainment system. The combination stereo/TV/VCR/DVD/computer allows crew members to access the internet, enjoy movies and listen to music in their free time. The bathrooms all have small hot tubs to help the crew ease sore muscles after shift or simply relieve stress.

Powered by two nuclear reactors, the Hermes class ships have abundant power to further fuel their other amenities such as the heated pool and Jacuzzi, the ball room with its sound system and the ship theater/arcade. It also helps to power the fitness centers which are equipped with state of the art exercise equipment upon delivery of each ship.

The vessel also carries civilian versions of the AMH-9 Krait helicopter for ship-to-shore transport, self defense and rescue operations.

The military version of the Hermes places two crewmen to each room with bunk-beds, computer, two desks and chairs and separate showers instead of a hot tub. There is a communal Jacuzzi as well as two fitness facilities.

AMT-2 Hephaestus Supertanker

The Hephaestus class of oil tanker is classified as a supertanker by modern standards. Longer by 100 meters than the Hermes, it has almost 200 times the fuel carrying capacity of its smaller sister vessel. Due to its huge size, the Hephaestus cannot move into many shallow water streams and special docks usually must be constructed in harbors to accommodate the huge ship. Most naval bases will be able to handle a ship of this size if they are also capable of docking aircraft carriers.

All of the amenities found on the Hermes can also be found on the Hephaestus as well as an additional four positions for self defense weapons. Capable of fielding AA guns or shielded missile systems, the AMT-2 is relatively capable of defending itself against an aerial attack. Four ASW/SAR/ship-to-shore helicopters are usually operated from the vessel, however it may hold up to six on its six separate landing pads. The upper surface of the vessel also can field a landing surface for STOL aircraft.

Capable of 28 knots, most fleets will have to slow down to accommodate this vessel, however, what it brings to the fight is considerable. With a full fuel load and the ability to synthesize and refine crude oils, the Hephaestus can supply a carrier group almost indefinitely.

Of the Council of Clan,

We have received your order and our totals come to this:
500x AMG-1 = 900 million
500x AMG-155 = 750 million
75x AMG-24 = 180 million
800x AMG-98e = 68 million
Production rights to the AM-3 Silence missile - I usually don't sell the production rights to my missiles, potential loss of lots of money, but seeing as you have purchased an extraordinary amount of AMG-98e SAM systems, I see that it is only reasonable to do so. Fully equipping your systems with AM-3 Silence missiles and the practice missiles would cost you 1.98 billion dollars. Instead, we are willing to see you the production rights for 500 million.

The rest of your equipment has been loaded onto cargo vessels and simply awaits your payment of 1.898 billion dollars to be shipped to you. With production rights, the total is 2.398 billion dollars.

The ships provides food, electricity, water, consumable, spare parts, medical, dental, disbursing, mail, legal services, ordnance, and any parts or equipment repair that the submarine may require. To accomplish this, the ships have a physical plant similar to that of a small town, including 60 different specialized shops. The ships are a mobile support facility with the capability of tending 15 nuclear-powered submarines simultaneously. The ship's capabilities include: nuclear system repair and testing, electrical and electronic repair, hull repair, sheet metal and steel work, pipe fabrication, foundry, woodworking, underwater diving and rescue, and hazardous material management. Various services are available to all submarines moored alongside including steam, diesel fuel, water, and electricity. The ship is capable of handling and storing the Navy's most modern tactical submarine launched weapons including: Mk 44 ADCAP torpedoes, anti-ship and cruise missiles and finally AM-666, AM-667 and AM-668 ballistic missiles.

They provide living quarters for more than 2,210 people and are equipped with full medical and dental facilities, laundry and dry cleaning plants, data processing equipment and large storage areas for refrigerated and dry cargo food. Cranes, elevators and conveyors provide movement of material on and off the ship as well as between decks.

Can the attack submarine tender interface with Los Angeles and Seawolf Class SSN's?

and store MK 48 ADCAP torpedos?

Agnosticium

18-07-2003, 19:22

Yes. While specifically developed to deal with the newer AMS-80 and AMS-84 submarines manufactured by Agnos Arms, the AMT-3 can support any submarine with the same weapons as attack submarines. In this case, the Mk 44 ADCAP torpedo we make is a rough equivalent to the Mk 48 ADCAP. Likewise, the AMT-4 can interface with all ballistic missile subs.

AMT-10 Radiant Class Replenishment Ship

The ammunition ships’ mission is to transport and deliver bombs, bullets, missiles, mines, projectiles, powder, torpedoes, and various other explosive devices and incendiaries, as well as associated ordnance cargo to the various ships in the Fleet, while underway. This type of support is necessary in order to achieve and maintain the Navy's requirement for a high degree of logistical independence. These efforts enable the Navy to more effectively perform its functions of sea control and projection of power ashore.

Their secondary mission involves providing limited quantities of fuel, water, and combat store products, in addition limited ship repair and maintenance services, as well as special project services. To get their Job done they utilize AMH-2 Valkyrie Helicopters for Vertical Replenishment (VERTREP), as well as the conventional Connected Replenishment (CONREP) abilities using seven CONREP Stations.

This modern class of auxiliary support ship has brought an increased capability to the Fleet for underway replenishment. With their advanced design replenishment facilities, they can more affectively accomplish the rapid transfer of ammunition and other cargo to Fleet units at sea. The ships replenish other Fleet units with bombs, bullets, missiles, mines, projectiles, powder, torpedoes, various other explosive devices and incendiaries, as well as associated ordnance cargo. Secondarily, they maintain a replenishment-at-sea capability for limited quantities of fuel, water, and combat stores. The ships also have facilities for limited ship repair and maintenance services, as well as special project services.

The ships have four cargo holds, which break down into 14 magazines. A magazine is the level within the cargo hold, and is defined as a magazine due to the stowage of ammunition and the requisite fire detecting and fire fighting items found on each level. The four cargo holds are serviced by six high speed cargo weapons elevators. The ships have a certified helicopter flight deck and can handle any Agnostican military helo as well as most commercial and allied helicopters. There are 7 unrep cargo transfer stations and 1 fuel delivery station. The ships can receive fuel at sea from any of 4 stations. Flint is also self-sufficient in the loading and discharge of ammunition or cargo from the ship to a pier or barge. There are four cargo booms which allow shore or barge transfer.

Modern Underway Replenishment (UNREP) facilities include the capability to support and operate two assigned medium-lift Valkyrie Helicopters. This added dimension of logistic support capability allows for the vertical replenishment of ordnance cargo and combat stores. Fleet units requiring re-supply inside, or even somewhat outside, the immediate horizon of the support ship can now be served by VERTREP utilizing these helicopters.

They also maintain the capability for connected replenishment. This can be accomplished simultaneously with VERTREP. There are seven CONREP stations - four stations to port and three to starboard. They can all be rigged for the Standard Tension Replenishment Alongside Method (STREAM) System. The STREAM System employs a specially designed trolley riding on a constant high-tension span wire. As dictated by the operational situation and re-supply requirements, any or all of the station can be utilized concurrently. One ship can be replenished underway alongside to port, while another ship is being serviced alongside to starboard.

The ships are outfitted with a Fleet satellite communication system. In comparison to other systems, this modern and efficient system is less likely to suffer processing delays due to radio frequency interference or message traffic backlogs. Command and control directives and operation orders can be processed on a near real- time basis, as can logistic requirement requests from other Fleet units.

The ships are equipped with an automated propulsion system. This system permits personnel in the pilot house to control the ship's speed directly, as the propulsion plant responds to their orders.

AMG-98e x 3000 = 165 mill (We want to put one of these babys in everyones back yard. Any chance of buying production rights to the missels?)
AMD-98f x 40 = 48 mill
AM 3 Missels x 18,000 = 7.11 bill
Whole chickens x 4 = $20
Coke x 1 = $1

Grand total 10,446,800,021
Money gratefully wired upon confirmation

Your order has been received and I am willing to sell the production rights to the AM-3 Silence missile for 400 million in light of the size of your order. Usually the production rights are 500 million. Yes the AM-1 ALRAIM launchers can be adapted to fit the Iowa class of battleships and while it is feasible to put the AM-1 on the AMG-98e, it's neither efficient nor a wel balanced system due tothe large size of the AM-1. When considering the AM, think in terms of the Patriot which is comparable in size.

The AM-2 MAW is actually meant to also be air-launched. Much like the SS-N-22 upon which it was based, the Penguin and the Harpoon, it is designed for multiple platforms.

Your weapons are ready for shipment upon payment and the chickens are actually only going to cost you $16... we cut prices a buck due to surplus and you got a six-pack instead of a single coke cuz the guy in charge was too lazy to pull the can from the rest of the plastic.

AMS-8 Courageous Class Escort Carrier

The AMS-8 class of vessels were designed with the intent of providing the Navy a suitable aircraft carrier designed mostly for fleet defense and limited offense. The escort carrier’s role is simply to provide a platform from which aircraft can base in their roles as fleet defenders. Smaller by half than the AMS-6 Repressor class, the Courageous class is a fraction of the 4.4 billion dollar cost of the full-sized carrier. Able to carry up to two full squadrons of V/STOL aircraft or one squadron of conventional ground-based fighters, the Courageous and her sister ships give a commander the flexibility of air coverage without the cost of a major carrier.

The AMS-8 has both a ski-ramp and catapults to assist in the launch of conventional aircraft at the expense of being unable to both launch and recover fighters at the same time. In the V/STOL launch procedures, up to eight aircraft my lift-off simultaneously for immediate air presence. The presence of AMH-1 attack helicopters also gives the Courageous significant anti-ship and shore support loitering capabilities. Combined with the AMH-9 ASW/SAR helicopter, the AMS-8 has significant offensive firepower at its disposal, even if not equal to that of a major, full-length aircraft carrier.

Nuclear powered, the Courageous has indefinite cruising capability while also maintaining 2.3 million gallons of aviation fuel for air operations. Capable of transporting up to 400 troops in the barracks-style troop transport area, the AMS-8 is also capable of fielding a landing element for strike and/or beachhead protection.

AMF-4 Wraith Vertical/Short Take-off Landing Fighter

The AMF-4 was specifically designed to provide airpower that could take-off and land from any place large enough to fit the plane itself. Ideal for use in wilderness locations where isolated fields and grassy areas can be cleared without attracting much attention and also for use on naval vessels, the Wraith joins the ranks of tested V/STOL fighters.

Incorporating the lessons learned from the Harrier, Forger and JSF platforms, the Wraith is a supersonic aircraft with substantial lift capabilities. Likened most to the F-35, the Wraith actually uses a two-engine configuration. Each of the two engines is based upon the F119 engine to provide great thrust. With supercruise and a more efficient fuel system, the AMF-4 has twice the loiter time of the F-18 Superhornet with a comparable weapons load.

The main launch platform for the AMF-4 is the AMS-8 Courageous class escort carrier. Using the same electronics suite as the AMF-1 Phoenix, the Wraith is a very capable air-to-air fighter as well as an excellent CAS platform.

This is the base design of the F119 engine upon which the AE808 is based.

AMT-15 Atlas Fast Sealift Transport
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/takr-287-line.gif

The AMT-15 is designed to provide militaries the ability to drive right up to the shore and deploy immediate amounts of armor and armored vehicles to the beachhead or port city. He first of its type from Agnos Arms, the Atlas has been designed with lessons learned from the past efforts of other nations and is, arguably, one of the best that any nation has to offer.

The ship itself is nuclear powered as are most vessels made by Agnos Arms and thus has unlimited range and nearly infinite electrical capabilities for its uses. The reactors power the two desalinization facilities in the aft portion of the vessel producing up to 12,000 gallons of purified fresh water a day. They also filter incoming seawater to provide non-purified water for showers and the pool. The pool and recreational tubs are heated by the reactors as is the movie theater, arcade and library. Each cabin, designed for two crew members, has its own entertainment center, two desks, bunks and easy chairs for the occupants. Between each cabin is a shared kitchenette and bathroom.

Full medical facilities exist for surgery, birth and severe trauma. Two exercise facilities are located on the crew decks and a third for officers on the officer deck as well as a rubberized track on the surface deck.

The lower deck of the Atlas is solely for the use of cargo storage and the vessel is capable of up to four rows of heavy vehicles. Equipped with cranes and self-contained ramps, the vessel is designed for use in all situations. When paired, cranes can lift in excess of 150 tons and the ship can be loaded/unloaded and ready for sea in 90 hours.

AMT-16 Cronus Fast Sealift Transport

The AMT-16 is a shorter version of the AMT-15 but is comprised of two cargo decks instead of one. In addition to a wider keel, this allows the vessel to approach approximately the same depths as its sister-ship without risk. Additional ballast and air tanks increase the buoyancy for shallow water operations.

The Cronus class also have a small flight deck and hangar for V/STOL aircraft and helicopters. The addition of the second deck increases load/unload time to 190 hours, however and reduces the height of the vehicles/equipment that can be transported. Instead of a seven meter ceiling, the decks are only four meters, meaning taller vehicles and gear must be stowed on another vessel or on the top deck.

The ship itself is nuclear powered as are most vessels made by Agnos Arms and thus has unlimited range and nearly infinite electrical capabilities for its uses. The reactors power the two desalinization facilities in the aft portion of the vessel producing up to 12,000 gallons of purified fresh water a day.

AMB-2 Harlequin Long Range Supersonic Bomber

The AMB-2 takes off where the AMB-1 Halo left off but incorporates a smaller frame and variable-wing geometry nearly identical to that of the B-1B Lancer built by the United States of America. Major differences include the introduction of Agnos Electric Turbofans with greater performance than that of the B-1B, greater variation in wing geometry by 5 degrees and improved electronics and targeting computer.

The AMB-2 uses a rotary launcher system (visible below) to allow for the single deployment of a munition or quick cycling to relaease all weapons stores. The Harlequin also can be fitted with racks for carpet bombing tactics.
http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/bomber/b-1b-10carry.gif

Recent tests have shown the airframe capable of sustaining mach 2.75 sustained at altitude with the engines able to use a "supercruise" mode to conserve fuel. At sea level, the variable wing geometry and thrust allow the AMB-2 to match the B-1B and Tu-160 Blackjack at low-level supersonic flight (300-500 feet sustained). The addition of ailerons to the forward fuselage that provide increased lift also allow the AMB-2 to fly at speeds that would stall out other bombers in its class. These speeds are not sustainable for more than a minute before engine burnout, but still allow for radical maneuvers in the instance perhaps of air defense evasion.

The Harlequin also has an extremely advanced electronics suite designed to maximize survivability and information flow, as well as disrupt enemy detection efforts. The Goliath II SATDATA imaging system is the primary system for the Sentinel warships, linking in high-speed, multi-spectrum, encrypted data bursts to global satellites to provide an accurate worldwide picture with a zoom enabling the tracking and viewing of objects up to .5m in size. The David IIIS tracking computer works alongside the Goliath and uses the incoming data to create an accurate targeting display and reduces the strain upon the Goliath system. With one simply providing the picture and the other using the data to identify, track and co-ordinate targets, this array is compositely known as the Hercules IV. This system allows the Harlequin to allocate a different target to each weapon within its three weapons bays.

AME-1 Reamer Fuel-Air Explosive/Conventional Munition

The AME-1 was designed as a conventional explosiv emunition with the express purpose of intimidation while retaiing the ability for mass destruction. At 22,000lbs, it is the largest bomb ever created to date (as known by Agnostican Arms Manufacturing). While not a purely Fuel-Air Explosive (just like the Daisycutter and MOAB) weapon, it combines FAE technology with a high powered conventional munition that precipitates the detonation.

While on a smaller scale and without the associated fallout, the AME-1 has the exact effects of a nuclear weapon. The blast radius is approximately 1200 meters in which four occurences happen. First, the overpressure (blast) of the detonation creates a shockwave that travels ahead of the explosion, smashing anything not strong enough to stand up to the blast. This is followed by the actual explosion, a firewave that sweeps out at nearly 2,500 degrees Farenheit and incinerates all within its path. This firestorm creates a vacuum due to the consumption of air within the blast and all items not destroyed (people hidden underground, etc) explode otwards under the sudden negative pressure as internal pressure causes the body to erupt. Finally, the vacuum sweeps all of the blast back inwards to the point of detonation making it an ideal containment weapon as well, finalizing in the tell-tale mushroom cloud of death.

AMF-8 Vampire Multi-Platform Attack Aircraft

The AMF-8 was specifically designed to give the Navy and Air Force a stable, subsonic platform capable of accurate bombing in all weather and hostile environments. Unfortunately, the engines provided push the plane past Mach 1.45 on afterburner. Equipped with a heavy layer of outer armor and redundant fly-by-wire and simple hydraulic systems, the Vampire can take a tremendous beating and stay aloft.

The fire-control radar is a smaller version of the Hercules IV system found on the AMB-2 bomber and numerous fleet ships, allowing the Vampire to independently target each of its weapons. The fire system also allows for the simultaneous release of up to four weapons at a time from the hardpoints on the plane.

The new Visor HUD works in concert with the pilot’s helmet visor to provide him with a view of all critical and instrumental diagnostics wherever he looks, transmitted via a wireless and redundant wire system. The weapons officer has the same information and controls the weapons release as well as countering threats and acting as navigator.

EAMF-8 Specter

The EAMF-8 is the electronics warfare version of the Vampire, incorporating advanced jamming, direction-finding and command & control elements into its electronics suite. Used mainly as a fleet jammer and shield, the Specter is also used to hunt submarines and confuse enemy radio transmissions. The armament of four AM-5 Scimitar missiles also makes it ideal for dealing with enemy detection platforms, airborne or otherwise.

Equipped with an AE 9945 Maelstrom Mk II multi-spectrum jammer as well as IR inhibitors, the EAMF-8 is ideal for missile intercept and/or confusing enemy aircraft search radars. The Specter can carry up to five electronics warfare pods (one belly mounted and two on each wing). Each pod is integrally powered and houses two jamming transmitters that each cover one of ten frequency bands. The EAMF-8 can carry any mix of pods, fuel tanks and/or Scimitar anti-radiation missiles depending on mission requirements.

The Specter’s tail fin pod houses sensitive surveillance receivers, capable of detecting hostile radar emissions at long range. Emitter information is processed by the central mission computer. Detection, identification, direction-finding, and jammer-set-on-sequence may be performed automatically or by the crew.

AMR-6 Light Assault Rifle
http://world.guns.ru/assault/xm8draw.jpg

The AMR-6 is a move back to conventional loading means for the infantry-based weapon while at the same time retaining the recoilless action of the AMR-5 series assault rifle. A bottom-feeding magazine simply loads the rounds from the bottom instead of the top. Utilizing the 7.62mm caseless round of its predecessor, the AMR-6 can be loaded either via conventional magazine as shown above, or via a horizontal magazine with nearly twice the capacity along the rifle’s upper receiver.

The early concept drawing does not show it, but the upper receiver is a free-flowing bolt which once again contributes to the lack of any recoil until the final shot of a two or three round burst is fired.

The Picatiny rail system allows for near-limitless variations of the weapon including the inclusive scope. The 25x magnification scope has four modes of operation, being low light, thermal, electronic trace which highlights electronic activity within the target’s gear, and simple clear magnification. The sight also incorporates a distance target shoulder-width curve scale for ease of use when targeting distant enemies.

Caliber: 7.62mm caseless
Action: Gas operated, rotating kinetic bolt
Overall length: .84m
Overall width: .053m
Barrel length: .44m
Weight: 3.5kg
[b]Modes of fire: Single shot, two-round burst, three round burst, sustained fire

AMS-9 Basilisk Anti-Submarine Warfare Destroyer
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/spruance.gif

Basilisk-class destroyers were developed for the primary mission of anti-submarine warfare, including operations as an integral part of attack carrier forces. Utilizing highly developed weapons systems, the AMS-9 is designed to hunt down and destroy high speed submarines in all weather, but can also engage ships, aircraft, and shore targets. These multi-purpose combatants are also capable of providing naval gunfire support in conjunction with Marine amphibious operations worldwide.

Built with future growth in mind, their design is modular in nature, allowing for easy installation of entire subsystems within the ship. Space and power reservations have been made to accommodate future weapons and electronics systems as they are developed. Originally developed as Anti-Submarine (ASW) destroyers, AMS-9II ships of this class were upgraded with the installation of a 64-cell Vertical Launch Missile System (VLS) capable of launching cruise, anti-ship or anti-aircraft missiles.

The Basilisk-class destroyer's inherent capabilities make it an ideal ship for surveillance operations. Endurance and response from the ship's three nuclear turbine engines make it possible to conduct such operations with minimal noise and with less fuel logistics concerns. Excellent command and control capabilities assure a thorough, carefully controlled effort

Anti-submarine warfare capabilities include a sonar suite that contains one of the most advanced underwater detection and fire control system yet developed. ASW weapons include four quad-barrel Mk 47 torpedo tubes and the Vertical Launch ASROC missile. In addition the ships can embark two AMH-9 Krait Mk II helicopters to extend the range of the ship's weapons and sensors. Ultimately fitted with the AES-53 hull-mounted active sonar, AES-31 tactical towed passive acoustic array, anti-submarine rocket (ASROC) launchers and with twin hangars for Krait Mk II helicopters, these ships are in the forefront of the surface Navy’s defense against submarine attacks. Collectively, this system is called the Poseidon IIB sonar suite.

The Poseidon IIB sonar suite uses a millimeter-wave propagation device to allow for accurate depth sounding as well as to provide an accurate three-dimensional picture within a 50-mile radius of the vessel. The fiberglass of the hull is also dotted with sweeping targeting lasers that enable the vessel to get pinpoint range on a target out to 1,500m. Past that, the refractive qualities of the water make the weapon ineffective. Reliance on the Poseidon array is suggested and the laser targeting system is best utilized as a back-up system or a reinforcement suite to complement the Poseidon.

The Basilisk also has an extremely advanced electronics suite designed to maximize survivability and information flow, as well as disrupt enemy detection efforts. The Goliath II SATDATA imaging system is the primary system for the Sentinel warships, linking in high-speed, multi-spectrum, encrypted data bursts to global satellites to provide an accurate worldwide picture with a zoom enabling the tracking and viewing of objects up to .5m in size. The David IIIS tracking computer works alongside the Goliath and uses the incoming data to create an accurate targeting display and reduces the strain upon the Goliath system. With one simply providing the picture and the other using the data to identify, track and co-ordinate targets, this array is compositely known as the Hercules IV. Each vessel has two Hercules IV tracking systems.

AM-23 Sickle Stand-off Anti-Armor Missile

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/smart/agm-130s.jpg

The Sickle was derived from a standard 2,000lbs guided bomb unit and equipped with a propulsion motor. It has since been extensively modified to an advanced, precision guided weapon used against high value fixed targets. It features an Inertial Navigation System/Global Positioning System (INS/GPS), man-in-the-loop capabilities and has a propulsion section enabling enhanced standoff capability. There are two versions of the weapon; the AM-23A model uses the mk-4 2,000 lbs warhead and the AM-23B model uses the AMP-112 penetration warhead. Both versions have advanced control sections and new Switchable Data Links (SDL) for horizontal target attack profiles. There are two improved guidance sections for day and night extended capability; Television Guidance Section (TVGS) and Improved Modular Infrared Sensor (IMIRS). A new test system, AE/IOM-31 tests all AM-23 configurations. It is completely menu driven, featuring minimal manual operator intervention, and it is software operated so that it can be updated/changed to facilitate testing of new weapon versions, enhancements, improvements and modifications

The AM-23 is capable of being carried in a 1-4 weapon configuration on fighter aircraft on fuselage launch points or the internal hardpoints on the wing. They are also designed to work with the rotary launchers of bombers such as the B-1B, AMB-1 and AMB-2.

AMS-70 Mako Diesel Electric Attack Submarine

The Mako was Agnosticium’s first attack submarine and its class served an illustrious career as protectors of the fleet and hunters of the sea. At their time, they were the most state of the art designs available, comparable to the P-651 models (NATO “Juliet” class) of Russia and superior (as were the Russian subs) to comparable US and NATO designs of the era. The fleet of 40 AMS-70 submarines was decommissioned with the emergence of the AMS-75 Thresher-class of submarine and were scrapped.

With the re-emergence of major navies throughout the world and the Nation States, the AMS-70 design has been re-introduced with extensive modernization and quieting. While still being diesel-electrically powered, the modern power plants, quieting technology and improved electronics make this a formidable submarine. When running on batteries, the AMS-70 is one of the quietest vessels in the ocean, far outperforming modern nuclear vessels. In noise tests, it has been confirmed that diesel-electric boats running on batteries are as much as 1/6 as quiet as Seawolf-class submarines. The AMS-70 continues that tradition.

With a small complement but formidable weaponry, the Mako-class subs are excellent for coastal patrol or pack-hunting of enemy vessels. Their small size and non-nuclear powerplant make them excellent front-line submarines for smaller nations due to lower procurement and maintenance costs.

AMG-101 Relegator Main Battle Tank

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/leclerc_maquette.jpg

The AMG-101 Was designed in direct competition to the AMG-100 Excelsior MBT. Designed instead off of the advanced drive-train/suspension of the LeClerc, the AMG-101 is a more agile MBT than the Excelsior. While this makes it a more mobile platform, it also changes the role slightly. Although both are MBTs, the AMG-100 was designed to get into a slugfest with enemy tanks. It’s large main gun and superheavy armor make it ideal for a straight-ahead advance, enabling troops to use it more effectively as a cover vehicle. The smaller main gun on the Relegator make it slightly less able to deliver the same intensity of firepower but it’s more agile approach to combat make it an excellent flanking vehicle. Where the Excelsior will devastate the center of the enemy, the Relegator will extend the outside lines and crush the flanks.

The Relegator has a gyroscopic free-fall stabilizer for the turret enabling the gunner to remain on target even as the driver is juking and jiving in an attempt to avoid enemy fire. Two back-up sighting devices are linked to the gunner’s eye reticle on his helmet’s LCD in case the primary sighting system goes down. One of the systems is located coaxially to the barrel while the other is on a sympathetically moving side mount on each side of the turret. Calibration ensures that the eyes is pointed at the same target as the barrel.

NBC capable, the AMG-101 is also able to submerge up to 5 meters in emergencies. Crew escape hatches are located above each of the four positions and when fired, detonate, sending the hatches flying and the seats ejection boosters ignite, burning out at 1000ft at which time a parachute deploys. This is, of course, an optional upgrade to the tank and stock models are not fitted with the ejection seats.

AMC-3 Celestial All-Terrain Cargo Aircraft

The AMC-3 fills the much needed role of cargo aircraft to small, underdeveloped airfields and rough landing areas. The extremely rugged construction of the aircraft and the landing gear allow for landings on sand, roughly assembled rock runways, and even farmland. The engines are designed with reversible thrust vector shields to enable emergence braking and are also capable of tremendous thrust in a short amount of time. Such an action as taking off from sand or soggy ground requires extreme fuel consumption and so such landing areas are used only in the most dire of circumstances.

The AMC-3 can be fitted with static lines for airborne operations and its pressurized compartment allows for high-altitude operations. The cargo bay is also able to accommodate up to 70 tons of equipment, effectively making the aircraft capable of transporting a single main battle tank from most nations. Armament include two AM-3 Silence medium-range air intercept missiles and a single rear-mounted .50 caliber machinegun.
The AMC-3 is also used for infiltration and exfiltration of special forces.

AM-17 Savage Anti-Personnel Missile

The Savage was designed purely as an anti-personnel munition for engaging large numbers of troops in the open. As such, while it uses a high-explosive warhed, it is not a warhead that is directed at anything in specific. Rather the warhead is concentrated into a radial explosion designed to incapacitate personnel and animals with relatively no damage to nearby vehicles. Initial tests on the weapon failed in restraining the destructive power of the warhead and instead, the standard fragmentation pattern was conceived.

The AM-17 is based upon the same body-style as the AM-2 Stalker missile. However, instead of an anti-armor warhead a fifty pound cylindrical charge makes up the core of the fragmentation block. The block is composed of hundreds of individual stainless steel cells, fitted together in a tightly packed formation so as not to waste the force of the explosion. These cells are each lined with and filled with a bromine pentafluoride solution. Much like the standard fuel-air explosive munitions, when the weapon explodes, the stainless steel balls fly from the epicenter at extreme velocities and shatter, dispersing the reactant over an area of about 150 meters. However, instead of using a conventional explosive to ignite the suspended particles, this weapon uses the target itself as the primary catalyst. Bromine pentafluoride reacts explosively to hydrous and biological compounds, making it an ideal weapon against personnel. If no personnel are in the area, the compound quickly dissolves or reacts with the local flora and fauna. If personnel are present, the resulting combustion consumes substantial portions of the subject where the reaction occurred and induces and deadly firestorm in the immediate area.

Combustion, however, only takes place within about a one meter area from the victim as insufficient quantities of biological matter is used in the explosion. This makes Bromine pentafluoride perfect because the explosion will only react locally to biological matter, preventing the destruction of vehicles and valuable equipment.

AMB-3 Havoc Supersonic In-Theater Medium Bomber

The AMB-3 is the application of lessons learned with the AMB-1 Halo and AMB-2 Harlequin for the construction of a much smaller aircraft designed to be an in-theater asset, rather than a world-spanning intercontinental threat. While still capable of traversing great distances, the AMB-3 has a fraction of the range of its sister ships and should be used in situations where an intercontinental bomber might be placed at too high a risk. The lesser cost of the AMB-3 make it ideal for preservation of the heavy bomber force of any nation.

http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/bomber/b-1b-10carry.gif

Like the AMB-1 and AMB-2 the Havoc has a rotary launch system (seen above) but only has two bays instead of three in which to carry munitions. Also, the rotary launcher is designed to fit the smaller body wide, further cutting the weapons carrying capacity to about 4/9 of the capacity of the larger aircraft.

Variable-wing geometry is once again included in this variant for dynamic flight control and radical maneuvers while maintaining excellent high-speed/low-drag capabilities for supersonic flight. Like its predecessors, the AMB-3 can carry munitions on the hard-points beneath the fuselage and the wing wells but this reduces the overall speed and greatly magnifies the radar signature which, with the bays closed is about the size of a pigeon.

Specifications
Primary Function: Mid-Range In-Theater Supersonic Bomber
Power Plant: Four Agnos Electric AE-61-91-3E turbofans with supercruise and afterburner

AMK-1 Deacon Aerial Refueling Aircraft

The AMK series of aircraft introduces Agnos Arms’ first foray into the concept of aerial refueling. Taking pointers from the successes and failures of other nations, the AMK-1 is the first in a line of tankers designed to provide the essential aerial refueling required for extended air operations and sustained air patrols. Based largely on the standard K-101 airliner, manufactured by Dukael Aircraft Systems, the AMK-1 can carry upwards of 400,000 pounds of fuel for refueling purposes or, in an emergency for self-sustaining flight operations.

The fore of the aircraft is actually a fifteen-person crew compartment, with twin-sided bunks for twin individuals. This enables each crew-member to have their own bunk and when on-duty, the bunk simply flips over and the opposite side is used by the crew-member coming off of duty. Other crew amenities include a full galley, two showers and an entertainment area.

Specifications
Primary Function: Aerial refueling/transport.
Power Plant: Three Agnos Electric AE-117 Surefire Turbofans
Thrust: 57,300pounds (26,045 kilograms), each engine
