Introducing the Integrated Naval Fleet Defence Network!

The Integrated Naval Fleet Defence Network. (INFDN)
The primary component to the INFDN is the newly designed INFDN Distroyer/Protector. (INFDN-DP) The INFDN-DPs have 6 Phalanx Weapons Systems arranged in a line from the front to the rear, 2 Sea Sparrow surface to air missile launchers on each side-each holding 8 missiles each for a total of 32, as well as a newly designed Patriot missile launcher- 1 on each side-that holds 8 missiles each. The Distroyers have no offensive weapons save the 4 specialy designed diagonally mounted torpedo launchers which hold 4 torpedoes each. The distroyers have a new tracking system that uses the most state of the art radar to track up to 200 seperate targets, from incomming missiles to aircraft to naval ships, and can assign spacific targets to each weapons system. The crew of a INFDN-DP has been lowered to 238, however, the remaining stats are almost identical to any other distroyer
The central coordinating computer is located on the Fleets flag ship and can systematicaly coordinate all data from the 4 to 20 INFDN-DPs as well as a dedicated satellite which also tracks any incomming items from aircraft and missiles to naval vessels and submarines. The total system, if all 20 INFDN-DPs are used, can track up to 5000 seperate targets, and deligate the appropriate ones to each ship, which in tern, assigns the target to the appropriate weapon.
All vessels, including the INFDN-DPs, are equipped with our newly designed sonars, able to track stealth submarines and any unnatural object larger than a bread box, including mines.
The system can locate, identify, track, assign to the apropriate weapons system, and ingage any target within range, in less than 1.75 seconds.
The system is also integrated into the already existing defence systems of all the other ships in the fleet.

If interest is forthcomming, The Newer England will consider exportation.

OOC: TNE, very nice. You've already seen my STHEL systems, right?

No, can't say that I have. You got a link?

I have a question.

Let me formulate it right...

What is the status of the defence systems within the CDA?
Will it be available for member nations to purchase?

Ok, I guess you have....well, you could probably add to your private version of the ships with them if you wanted.

No, I'm serious, I haven't seen your STHEL systems! Do you have a link or information?

Hehe...
Rune Lords is TNE...

So that's why you hosted that map in the Royal Palm rioting on the CDA's site :D

Yea, I'm not trying to keep it a secret, but I am trying to post in character.

OOC: (TNE=TRL? lol). Sorry, I was confused by what you'd said.

I mentioned the range of the MTHEL system somewhere (decently large (perhaps too large) but not really unthinkable...perhaps in the linked thread in that post.

Nice! A little further into the future than I like, but still nice. :D

OOC: Future? It was tested in 2001/2002 with the full "STHEL" system...actually did destroy Katyushkas and artillery shells without known trajectories (only known origin area). Though fitting it onto a ship would be a bit ahead I guess...

This kind of lazer tech has actualy been successfuly tested in rl? :shock: I was totaly unawair. do you have a link to information? I would love to read about it.

I have word files with clippings of the successful tests, but I found that resource later (I get much of my basic military tech in line with what's there) and it gave a nice overall view of things.

It's less of a chemical laser that burns through things than a heat beam generated by a chemical laser that heats a small area of a weapon to cause the explosive and/or propellant load to explode (or to destroy critical systems by overheating/melting/burning).

I basically started researching it the moment I arrived on NS as WA and came out with it a good bit later. I adjusted the stats in my sales link (previous post) to match what I could find at the link above and at various other sites. I couldn't find a range so I chose one that seemed to be in-line with both its claimed abilities, theoretical/planned role, and what seemed to be realistic for my purposes.

Someone mentioned as early as the Arani War that it might be used to attack aircraft or ships, but I have resisted claiming that for the sake of RPIng (and to eliminate possible arguments). I am, however, working on a RL-based solid-state laser that could offer similar protections for aircraft.

All I can say is :shock: and a bit of :oops:
I will have to start looking into this to integrate into my system! Thanks.

So, does this mean that you want to set up a long-term contract for the supply of them or are you just going to try to take it from me? :wink: (yes, that's a joke)

Actualy, I may wish to buy from you, or pay you for permission to use your tech. In some way I will need to get this integrated into my system, and it would be quicker to get it from you. Not to mintion you did turn me on to it! I will telegram you evintually if I am interested!
