----------------------------------
----------------------------------
Constitution Class

The changes from the baseline JFK are as follows:

1: The large and vulnerable LIDAR dome has been replaced with large phased radar arrays mounted into the sides of the hull. As such, the entire dome is removed.

2: Revision of crew arrangements, as well as slightly improved automation has changed the crew complement to:
• Approximately 900 Navy personnel (responsible for the maintenance and operation of the vessel itself)
• Approximately 1100 Air Force personnel (pilots, technicians and ground crew for the Air Wing)
• Approximately 300 Marine Corps personnel (three companies plus a Headquarters unit)

These are the "base" figures. In the event of wartime, the number of Air Force personnel are estimated to roughly increase by 50% (to augment the larger Air Wing) and roughly 300% for the Marine Corps personnel (a stripped down Battalion).

3: The 72 torpedo launchers have been removed, mostly replaced with lightweight launchers to fire the XAIM-9A Sidewinder-S (Space version Sidewinder).

4: A single forward superfiring (namely no guidance, it fires where the ship points) Gauss cannon is mounted on the upper side of the hull. Designed primarly to fire unguided 30 inch projectiles for planetary bombardment.

5: Six forward superfiring torpedo tubes have been included, to launch the XGM-86A "Clubber" anti ship missile

The rest of the design is essentially unchanged, though the "Constitution" subclass is expected to carry a slightly changed Air Wing of:

• 144x SA-43 Hammerhead
• 96x SB-43 Mako
• 12x SA-43 Hammerhead (with reconnaisance equipment)
• 12x Electronic Warfare aircraft
• 12x Early Warning And Control aircraft
• 48x ISSCV

COST: $50 Billion

Sambizie class DE, Flight IA

Disclaimer:OOC: Before I begin, YES, the picture is from Robotech/Macross, NO, I am not using ANY Robotech/Macross tech which may have been copyrighted (except given to me by the Robotech/Macross nations). Most of the basic stats for the ship (except the weapons) is taken directly from http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/Naval/Banshee.html


IC: Official report filed by Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. The Sambizie class DE (Destroyer Escort)

http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/sambizie_de.jpg

Adejaani's first indigenous armed space vessel, named after our closest of friends and allies, the Republic of Sambizie. It has taken much in development and effort, but it is finally ready for production. Utilising a sleek hull form and the best of technologies, both provided and researched, the Sambizie DE is a formidable small vessel. Please don't let the "Destroyer Escort" designation fool you. Although it is the size of a Frigate with its performance, its weapons, range and reach is more appropriate to a proper Destroyer.

The development of this ship has taken place before the exchange of technical (particularly weapons and defenses) expertise from allies. Therefore, the current production Flight I ships are only an interim solution until the new technologies can be incorporated.

It should be noted that these ships are not intended for long term missions (though they can carry enough supplies to) as the ships are extremely spartan and lack decent recreational or other morale raising facilities aboard.

Class: Sambizie
Designation: DE (Destroyer Escort)
Designer: Adejaani Aerospace Inc.
Dimensions: 195.1 metres (length); 41.4 metres (height); 51.4 metres (width)
Mass: 40,000 metric tons
Powerplant: Helium-3 Fusion
Engines: Wormhole drives (FTL); Inertial fusion (sublight)
Crew: 80
Fighter Compliment: 4 (various) SA Line Craft
Weapons:
• 1x 450 Megawatt pulse lasers (forward superfiring)
• 2x 300 Megawatt pulse lasers (30 degree forward arc)
• 12x 50 Megawatt pulse lasers (in 6 dual turrets)[/quote]

Systems energy profile: Major control, life-support, and general systems energy derived from hydrogen fuel cells with petrochemical-catalytic abilities. Specialized heat-recapture and dye-based photovoltaic (sensitive to visible and IR wavelengths) systems allow the by-products of operation and even the surface of the aircraft to generate energy.

Minor power reserves (battery) derived from specialized dyes which, when painted onto conductive metal surfaces, act as a photovoltaic power source (sensitive to visible and IR wavelengths) and specialized heat-recapture systems. NOTE: photovoltaic systems are on metallic conductive surfaces placed underneath clear or translucent composite surfaces that protect the craft from a variety of damages.

Mission Profile:
Specific SA-43 tasks include:
- Intercept and destroy enemy craft in conjunction with ground or airborne fighter control under all-endo/exo conditions.
- Conduct day and night close air support.
- Conduct day and night deep air support. Deep air support consists of LIDAR/RADAR search and attack, interdiction, and strikes against enemy installations using all types of weapons compatible with assigned craft.

- Be able to operate from spacecraft carriers, advanced bases, and expeditionary airfields.
- Be able to deploy or conduct extended range operations employing aerial refueling.


CONTROL
Manuevering:
--Atmospheric—
Completed "conventionally" with the use of moving flaps and directional-thrust engines.
--Extra-Atmospheric—
Completed by use of maneuvering jets, computer aided movement (manual override possible). Use of a pair of diagonally-mounted "joysticks" that are extended to the pilot on motile ‘arms’ once the pilot has locked into his seat and once the craft has been given the proper activation code (note: for theft and operational security, each craft is provided with Use Authorization Codes (UACs) that can be shifted to protect the craft from use by spies and/or enemy agents.

Crew: 1 pilot (+AI target identification, acquisition, and engagement program. AI ship control system).

Ferry range: Over 2,000 mega statue kilometres
Combat radius:
Fighter mission: 755 msk
Attack mission: 550 msk
Manoeuverability: Turn performance is very good, turns can be done at 8g without loss of speed (altitude in air fight); or instantly by using the YAW of the spacecraft (can only be done in space though). Turn radius is low; making the SA-48 a good adversary.
ASCM (Air/Space Combat Manoeuvering) is good, with minimal losses of kinetic energy.

Armament: Five external wing stations, comprising two wingtip stations for an assortment of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons; two inboard wing stations for external fuel tanks or air-to-ground stations; two nacelle fuselage stations and a center station for fuel tank or air-to-ground weapons. Two 20mm six-barrel gun, one is mounted in the nose; a second turret is mounted on the top rear.

LIDAR : Laser Infrared Detection And Ranging. Long Range, configurable. Can track and engage up to 100 independent targets.

HUD : Heads-Up Display. Mainly used for displaying flight parameters, navigational information and overall combat intelligence.

ODP : Optical Disk Playback. Used for mission data recordings. Can be used lateron for mission evaluation.

Crew: 1 (single-seat)
Cost: $57 Million.

Mission: Specific SA-48 tasks include:
- Intercept and destroy enemy craft in conjunction with ground or airborne fighter control under all-endo/exo conditions.
- Conduct day and night close air support.
- Conduct day and night deep air support. Deep air support consists of LIDAR search and attack, interdiction, and strikes against enemy installations using all types of weapons compatible with assigned craft.
- Conduct armed escort of friendly craft.
- Be able to operate from spacecraft carriers, advanced bases, and expeditionary airfields.
- Be able to deploy or conduct extended range operations employing aerial refueling.

Features: The SA-48 strike fighter multi-mission spacecraft was designed to replace the F-4 Phantom. The SA-48 is missionized for traditional fighter, attack, and close air/space support roles through selection of external pods/equipment to accomplish specific mission objectives. Any craft can quickly be configured to perform either fighter or attack missions, or both. SA-48's may be land-based from prepared airfields, or they can operate from expeditionary airfields (EAF). They may also be space-based, operating from the decks of Royal Navy spacecraft carriers.
Like the 20th Century Harrier attack jet the SA-48's features V/STOL (Vertical/Short Take Off and Landing).

All-Round Looking LIDAR; their cockpit units seperate from the plane after landing, and are stored on the flight deck.
Unlike the SA-43 Hammerhead the navigation, HUD, LIDAR and Comm have been layouted in a slightly different way, i.e. the positions are switched form left to right and vice versa.

SA-45 V/STOL
Endo-Exo Trans-atmospheric Attack Jet

Primary function: Intercept and destroy enemy air/spacecraft under all weather conditions; attack and destroy surface targets; conduct aerial reconnaissance.
Manufacturer: Areo-Tech
Propulsion: One Rolls-Royce Turbo SCRAMjet with afterburning capability
Thrust: 35,000 pounds
Length: 50 feet (15.36 meters)
Wing span: 36 feet (10.97 meters)
Ferry range: Over 2,200 mega statue kilometres
Combat radius:
Fighter mission: 850 MSK
Attack mission: 600 MSK
Reconnaissance mission: 800MSK
Manoeuvrability:
Due to high-capacity RCS thrusters, low wing loading, and high thrust-to-weight ratio, agility is very high - even marginally superior to that of the later SA-48. Combined with high speed, this gives the craft at least equivalency, and often superiority

Armament:
Wingtip rails for short- or medium-range anti-aircraft missiles. Three under-belly and four underwing external stations, compatible with most weapons and stores with UEF-standard interfaces; centre-line and inboard underwing stations are plumbed for external fuel tanks. Twin fixed chin-mounted 10mm Gauss cannons with one thousand rounds per gun.

Electronics:
GEC-Marconi SLD-07 'Red Gryphon' LIDAR; medium-long range, rugged and reliable, easily serviced. Track-while-scan facility allows simultaneous tracking of up to 75 independent targets and simultaneous engagement of up to three.

GEC-Marconi SD-09 mission computer with FDD-27 HUD, three MFCD head-down-displays, JTIDS link and optical-disc programming/playback. HUD displays all relevant flight-data, including navigational information and combat situation support. MFCDs are fully configurable in-flight, but centre MFCD is usually dedicated to tactical display, left to flight instrumentation, right to stores status and weapons control.

Crew: 1 (single-seat)
Unit Cost: $61 Million

Mission:
Specific SA-45 tasks include:
- Intercept and destroy enemy craft in conjunction with ground or airborne fighter control under all-endo/exo conditions.
- Conduct day and night close air support.
- Conduct day and night deep air support. Deep air support consists of LIDAR search and attack, interdiction, and strikes against enemy installations using all types of weapons compatible with assigned craft.
- Conduct armed escort of friendly craft.
- Be able to operate from spacecraft carriers, advanced bases, and expeditionary airfields.
- Be able to deploy or conduct extended range operations employing aerial refuelling.
- Conduct aerial photographic, video, and LIDAR reconnaissance of enemy positions with minimal support.

Features:
Designed to replace the Jaguar attack fighter with a minimum of technological risk or pilot conversion training, the SA-45's design goals also included longer range, better manoeuvrability, and strong export potential.

Designed from the outset for both anti-aircraft and ground-attack missions, the SA-45 need only be fitted with the appropriate warload to perform a given mission; extended combat service in the CC and AI wars garnered the aircraft near-legendary status for its survivability, long range, and high warload capacity. The design team was foresighted enough to include considerable expansion room and high modularity, substantially easing systems maintenance and upgrades.

While technically V/STOL capable, the SA-45 operates best from conventional landing bases or space carriers. Design compromises and technological advances since its introduction mean that the SA-45 does not feature the now-common 'cockpit pod' system; the cockpit is part of the fuselage, and pilots must physically climb into their aircraft.
The Red Gryphon LIDAR system provides reliable, 360-degree coverage, but lacks the range and tracking capacity of more recent systems. Many examples have been updated with more modern LIDARs, a process facilitated by the aircraft's modularity and the flexible SD-09 mission computer. Most relevant flight, weapon, and mission controls are operated via the HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) system, and the cockpit instruments include three Multi-Function Colour Displays. Like its younger cousin, the SA-48, the Hurricane uses a left-hand-operated throttle.

XAIM-120A SAMRAAM (space version)
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/images/amraam-2-s.jpg
(Space AMRAAM)

It was inevitable the legendary AIM-120 AMRAAM would be adapted for space and here it is.

Employing the same Liquid Oxygen oxidizer/Parrafin mixture solid fuel, the XAIM-120 SAMRAAM (Space AMRAAM) features slightly more power and speed, but the SAMRAAM is roughly four times as large as its atmospheric cousin and employs thrust vectoring for its great maneuverability.

Both air launched (any platform with LIDAR and launch rails, even ISSCVs) and ship launched (from the Phalanx launchers), this missile is extremely versatile and is most often used to "swat enemies from the sky".

XAIM-54 "Arrow"

Declassified report by:
Admiral Nathan "Ebony" Black, Adejaani Republic Navy
Commander, Adejaani Republic Space Corps

It has been some time since the Space Corps received its first two Constitution class carriers. Despite the fact that no "real world" scenarios have required their use, all the wargame exercises have proved the worth of every single weapons system in service. However, the problem has been so far to do with the anti ship missiles.

The XGM-86A "Clubber" was everything it was designed to be. Fast and powerful, but massive. As was always feared and proven so, the "Clubber" was too big for the Hammerheads and Makos. Indeed, the loss of two fine pilots trying to launch with the "Clubber" only highlighted this. As an interesting side note, adapting an ISSCV cargo pod to contain a single "Clubber" missile worked. In theory. In practice, the ISSCV, already big and vulnerable as it was, would have been shot down long before it was in a position to launch.

On the other end of the spectrum, the next biggest weapon, the XAIM-120 "SAMRAAM" was too small. Oh, high speed, good sized warhead. But against capital ship armor, couldn't do it. Maybe if EVERY "SAMRAAM" was fired against a capital ship, it might, but that's not the solution.

That was a near impossible task. A weapon, with a big enough penetrator and warhead, yet small enough to make it dangerous to the enemy, not the pilots that fly it.

The result is the XAIM-54 "Arrow". http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/images/aim-54-980304-n-1717n-002-s.jpg

An adaptation of the legendary AIM-54 "Phoenix" missile. At triple the size, with the same liquid paraffin engine as the "SAMRAAM" and the titanium core penetrator on the "Clubber", the "Arrow" combines the maneuverability of the "SAMRAAM" with a smaller, but very effective end result as the "Clubber".

The ONLY platform cleared for launching the "Arrow" is the SB-43 Mako and it can carry TWO "Arrow" missiles plus a handful of "SAMRAAM" and "Sidewinder-S" for self defense.

The XAIM-54 "Arrow" is already in production.
COST: 100,000 per missile.
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
XAIM-9 "Sidewinder-S"
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/images/aim-9-dvic405-s.jpg

To complement the SAMRAAM with something shorter ranged (the SAMRAAM is used for long range engagements), the same propulsion, scale up and thrust vectoring was used to bring the Sidewinder-S (Space version) into being.

Unit replacement cost: 70,000 each

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

THARPS (Tactical Hammerhead Airborne Reconnaissance Pod System)
BASICS
Make/Model (Designation): Hammerhead Joint Manufacturers’ Commission (RAFAEL, Inc.; El Op; and Greater Israel Aircraft Industries) THARPS.

Manufacturers/Developers: Commission (RAFAEL, Inc.; El Op; and Greater Israel Aircraft Industries)

Production Capacity: 60 units/day per factory (1 major dedicated assembly plants in WA, 3 subsystem production plants in WA. 1 major plant in Adejaani with associated subsystem plants).

Price Per Unit (suggested retail value): $6 million/unit (incl. software and materials).

General Description:
The THARPS (Tactical Hammerhead Airborne Reconnaissance Pod System) is designed to integrate seamlessly into the current S-43 Series of Vehicles while providing greatly enhanced reconnaissance capabilities to the commanders of S-43-based forces.

Features
- Maintains commonality with existing Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) architectures;
- Completely compatible with the Elbit Systems LTD HUD system;
- Can simultaneously carrying electro-optical (EO), Multispectral Imaging (MI), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) payloads;
- Capable of both satellite communications link (SATCOM) and surveillance and control data link (SCDL) communications. A laser beam pulse communicator is also included for emergency usage. Data can be transferred to theater designated exploitation sites utilizing standard formats through existing communications mediums. Selected frames of imagery and reports can be broadcast electronically by voice or data. The operational commander will determine the preferred means of dissemination and distribution.


Means of Action:
The THARPS is actually a collection of several different component subsystems, each of which provides a different and important capability to the functionality of the THARPS in its missions. There is a suite of Sensory Devices to collect infrared, visible, multispectral, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) digital imagery at medium and high altitudes.

A Suite of Sensory Devices
NOTE: Produced by El Op
- An Electro-Optical (EO) sensor payload, (with an integrated advanced resolution FLIR (Forward Looking Radar) package);
- A Multispectral Imaging system (UV, Visible, and IR radiation wavelengths);
- A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) package.

--Electro-Optical Sensor: The ElOp CA-295--
The Recon/Optical [ROI] CA-295 camera performs a range of high-altitude, long-range missions while operating at standoff ranges beyond 70 nmi. The CA-295 digital camera simultaneously produces both infrared and visible spectrum images, providing the user with day/night, near real-time data for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The CA-295 incorporates ElOp's patented digital framing array and step frame technology to provide wide area coverage stereo imagery with both high resolution and unparalleled geometric fidelity. The IR section of the system employs the latest FLIR high resolution technology to allow for high-detail night recordings.

Designed to operate within the rigorous environment of a transatmospheric fighter, this modular, dual-spectral-band camera comprises five major assemblies.
- The stabilized imaging unit (SIU) contains both visible and IR imaging modules, long-range precision optics, common camera and stabilization electronics, and power supplies. - The image processing unit (IPU) contains the system controller electronics, I/O interfaces, and a scalable set of image processing boards for formatting and processing both IR and visible image data.
- The controlled image transmission unit (CITU), controls the transmission of data to friendly forces and, upon activation by the cockpit controls, can use either a High-bandwith (to satellite) or line of sight (LOS) transmission by standard, or even laser-burst, transmitters. This unit also controls the encoding systems, which can be adjusted to cover coding systems employed by different alliances and groups.
- The power conversion unit (PCU) connects to the aircraft power system and supplies filtered, switched power to the SIU and IPU.
- The Baseline Power Support Unit (BPSU) connects to the SIU, CITU, and IPU to support higher-energy applications and to limit drain on the aircraft’s systems.

--Multispectral Imager: --

Grabbed almost directly from Western Asia’s spy satellites, the MI processes a wide variety of light wavelengths to create a high-detail image of targets directly beneath the carrying unit. Thanks to the long-range power of the satellite imager, this system can be used on targets parallel to the aircraft’s flight path by simply having the craft fly at an angle. Much of the exact capabilities of the satellites are restricted but a 20in resolution is provided for this, unsecured, system.

--Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Package: —

The SAR package incorporates several operating modes and data processing schemes to enhance the capabilities of the THARPS. The two general system modes are WAS/MTI and SAR/FTI.

Radar operating modes:
=Wide area surveillance
=Fixed target indication
=Synthetic aperture radar
=Moving target indicator
=Target classification



-WAS/MTI-
Wide Area Surveillance and Moving Target Indicator (WAS/MTI) are the radar's default operating modes. WAS/MTI is designed to detect, locate and identify slow-moving targets. This is similar to what is included on the standard JSTARS platform but it cannot differentiate between tracked vs. wheeled vehicles as the JSTARS can. By focusing on smaller terrain areas, the radar image can be enhanced for increased resolution display. This high resolution is used to define moving targets and provide combat units with accurate information for attack planning.

-SAR/FTI-
Synthetic Aperture Radar/Fixed Target Indicator (SAR/FTI) produces a photographic-like image or map of selected geographic regions. SAR data maps contain precise locations of critical non-moving targets such as bridges, harbors, airports, buildings, or stopped vehicles.

The FTI display is available while operating in the SAR mode to identify and locate fixed targets within the SAR area. The SAR and FTI capability used in conjunction with MTI and MTI history display allows post-attack assessments to be made by onboard or ground operators following a weapon attack on hostile targets.

Like Joint STARS, the THARPS can operate in virtually any weather, on-line, in real-time. Unlike the Joint STARS, ground-based or otherwise centralized processing stations will have to take care of image processing and analysis duties.


The SAR portion of the THARPS includes the Enhanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ESAR) and Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) upgrades for the JSTARS system.

These upgrades allow for target classification and identification through a six-fold enhancement of previoujs SAR resolution with ESAR and the ability to image moving targets and perform mensuration with ISAR. The upgrade also increases both range and azimuth resolution.

ESAR and ISAR will contribute to more accurate targeting data and supports potential growth to Automatic Target Recognition. ISAR also supports maritime potential by using the translational motion of the targets. The primary applications support Theater Missile Defense (TMD) identification of high value mobile targets such as SCUD Transporter-Erector-Launchers(TELs). This capability also increases targeting capability, location and identification accuracy, and the potential for fratricide reduction.


The Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) provides ground-based system operators with automated surface target recognition/identification. This enhances operator efficiency in high density situations and exponentially increases current capabilities for surface target identification. ATR provides higher mission crew situational awareness and increases support to battle management and attack support. In support of TMD, the system will be able to locate, track, and identify missile Transporter Erector Launchers (TELS) vehicles upon cueing from off-board sensors/sources. The ATR concept is based upon algorithms using processed radar data (Enhanced Synthetic Aperture Radar [ESAR] and Inverse SAR ) and applying Radar Cross Section (RCS) or templating techniques to classify/identify ground and maritime targets. ATR is a computational technique that compares the SAR imagery with imagery templates of high value targets to quickly identify and locate those targets in the image. This requires a detailed data base of potential target image templates and the processing capability to do comparisons with sensor data.

These enhancements enable more effective targeting against Time Critical Targets (TCTs). There are two primary goals: (1) demonstrate the robustness of using Hi-Resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) based Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) technology for improved identification of Time Critical Targets (TCTs) and; (2) demonstrate the effectiveness of using Hi-Resolution Moving Target Indication (MTI) sorting of targets in a scan mode to pick out target areas of interest in a non-cooperative mode.


System Communication Methods
System is equipped with surveillance and control data link (SCDL) for transmission to mobile ground stations and Satellite communications link (SATCOM). The system is capable of both direct line of sight communications with the ground station by a common data link or beyond line of sight through Ku band SATCOM, direct line of sight capability, good support up to 220 megabits per second (although this is not currently supported) and 50 megabits per second by a Ku band SATCOM.

A laser beam pulse (LBP) communicator is also included for emergency or for secure, short-range data transmission. When several units employ LBP in a line, a daisy-chain system can be used to transmit data securely (although with relatively low transmission speeds) to a ground station. Is impervious to most EW interference.

With these systems, data can be transferred to theater designated exploitation sites utilizing standard formats through existing communications mediums. Selected frames of imagery and reports can be broadcast electronically by voice or data. The operational commander will determine the preferred means of dissemination and distribution.

Installation and (Force) Integration Issues
Installation
The THARPS can be integrated into any S-43 system that has an Internal Payload Bay (IPB) available.

With the (or one of the) XWM-111 Rotary, Multi-Use Weapons Mounts (R-MUWM) removed from the IPB, the THARPS unit control and sensory relay cables are plugged into the same slots that the unit control and sensory relay cables from the XWM-111 would be connected to. This system is fully compatible with the HUD display system currently in place.

Then, the THARPS is elevated (using a Mobile Payload Management System (MPMS) of the same model used for the XWM-111) into the now-empty IPB. The THARPS will be "captured" by the S-43 Series Craft’s Payload Grasping Claws (PGCs). The system extends to slightly beyond the normal bottom of the craft (about 4 1/2 inches, or 11.25cm) but this is to allow the forward-looking systems to visualize target areas. The THARPS’s edges are designed to form a smooth interface with the underbody of the craft surrounding the IPB.

Once a software-patch is installed in the S-43 Series Craft’s computer system (or activated, if the software is already installed), the controls for the THARPS will be under the pilot’s control. The pod interfaces with the S-43 cockpit Electronic Warfare Management System (EWMS).

A skilled crew should be capable of completing this task in 15minutes time (into the equipment area to ready to fly), including settings and full system checks.

Force Integration of the THARPS
To relay the information to friendly forces, the images collected by the THARPS system are either stored on an on-board High Capacity Memory Storage (HCMS) System (for later up-loading) or they are directly transmitted to friendly units for review, providing almost real-time reconnaissance abilities. To transmit the images, a high-bandwith transmission array is included in the THARP. The images are encoded for transfer and are then encoded by public-key coding (or other tactical coding system), then they are sent. The pilot can, at any time, shift the modes of image collection (stored vs. sent) as well as other factors concerning the transmission of the imagery (changing the encoding method/system).

The pilot can also completely control which sensors are being used and he can even focus on one particular area, which will then be thoroughly and repeatedly scanned by all THARPS sensory devices.


Primary Functions: To provide "real-time" reconnaissance capabilities to the S-43 line of transatmospheric manned combat craft in support of Joint Force actions. The Tactical Hammerhead Airborne Reconnaissance Pod System (THARPS) provides a responsive "under-the-weather" reconnaissance capability to support intelligence and targeting requirements of military, multinational, and other government agency users. It provides a dedicated, on-demand, day/under-the-weather, selective aspect, literal imagery collection capability. It fills the high-threat, under-the-weather niche that cannot be accomplished by existing collectors such as space systems, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and high-altitude unarmed planes such as the U-2.

---

PERFORMANCE

Systems energy profile: The THARPS unit is provided with its own power systems, but in order to maintain full working capacity for extended periods of time, energy must be siphoned off of the S-43 Craft’s energy distribution system.

Mission Profile:
THARPS tasks include:
- Collecting vital intelligence information by the use of high-power and high-field of view imaging,
- Integrate into any and all capable S-43 Craft seamlessly and without error under stated working conditions (and without preexisting technical complications),
- To locate and identify time-dependant hostile targets so they can be quickly neutralized by friendly aircraft,

---

CONTROL
The THARPS is controlled by the pilot (or, in SB/SAE-43 craft by either the pilot or the specialist/co-pilot) through his HUD and other system interfaces. Images are collected when the controlling crewmember activates the system by use of a finger-activated toggle on the control sticks. The HUD allows the controller to literally see what the THARPS is focused on and even to re-focus the system on another target.

The flight control computer interface allows the pilot to highly customize the operation of the THARPS unit for special missions or sites of interest as well as to control the memory and transmission issues associated with the operation of the THARPS.

Pilot and Support Crew Training
Pilots who are to fly the mission only need to have a 40 minute lecture on the use of the system and the controls are now integrated into the eTaPE Sub-Commission’s "Universal Trans-Atmospheric Virtual Training System" (UTATS).

System engineers and maintenance crews are going to require some training so the Hammerhead JMC has already arranged to provide weekend meeting on the maintenance of the system, from basic problem fixes up to major system overhauls

OOC: "Oh, What's this? *BUMPS* it.

OOC: Sambizie, I've upgraded a few factories and are beginning to produce the whole range. 40 of each.

Can you tell me what the various "hybrid" and "special" versions are?

Oh, um, I'm currently keeping 24x Hammerhead and 24x Mako (to begin training and to get a familiarity going), so you'll only get 16x each of the Hammerhead and Mako, but starting tomorrow (RL day), you'll get the 40 of each.

We'll do our usual "all the units specified will be sent unless something changes" deal.

The different versions are on page 1. I also have SA/SB Simulators that could be installed whever. This will get your pilots familiuar with the craft, due to it being single cockpit. We suggest 120 hours sim. time for new recruits, less with more experianced pilots. The production is fine. TG me when you have completed and are ready to send 100 of each. Our "usual" arrangment will suffice. As you are an "authorized" dealer, you may sell if you wish...but not to undersell the current listed price.
In essence...It's a deal.

OOC: Samb, sorry to spring this on you, but I've modified the specs some...and have added the SEA-43 "Howler" as well.

Please check the thread and update the sections (I recommend that you just copy most of what I have and re-insert the pictures where/when necessary.

Western Asia/Sambizie: To outfit my Carrier's Air Wing, I'll need:

288x SA-43 Hammerhead
192x SB-43 Mako
24x SA-43 Hammerhead (with reconnaisance pods)
24x Electronic Warfare aircraft (versions of the Hammerhead?)
24x Space AWACS (ISSCV with phased radar arrays?)
96x ISSCV

Now, how does that work out and where will I get them? As for the designs, Western Asia, ball's in your court now. :wink:

GINA Reports:
WA Announces the Opening of 3rd Mako and 1st Howler Major Construction Plants
Minor plants opened as well, more Mako and Howler plants expected

The Hammerhead Joint Manufacturers' Commission announced today that the 3rd SB-43 "Mako" Endo/Exo Fighter/Bomber Major Construction Plant and the 1st SAE-43 "Howler" Endo/Exo Electronic Warfare/Electronic Countermeasures (EW/ECM) Craft Major Construction Plant have both now begun full-rate production of those craft to accomodate consumer demands. These openings meet Hammerhead JMC deadlines and projections.

NOTE:
Total Current WA Production Capacities for the S-43 line:
SA-43 Hammerheads: 180 units/month (6 plants @ 30 units/plant each month)
SB-43 Makos: 60 units/month (3 plants @ 20 units/plant each month, one more major plant in works)
SAE-43 Howlers: 15 units/month (1 plant @ 15 units/plant each month, two more major plants in works)

OOC: Samb, sorry, but I just realized that there's a typo in the Howler desc. Under "Mission Profile" it should read SAE-43 instead of SB-43. Sorry.

Update:

The government owned Adejaani Aerospace Manufacturing Sector has stepped up production and will currently be able to produce, each RL day:

• 60x SA-43 Hammerhead
• 48x SB-43 Mako
• 12x ISSCV (when those specs become available)

BUMP!

OOC: Thanks for the bump...

To answer your earlier question Adejaani, ...I would like my JFK's built like yours.

I'll make the correction WA.

As to the question of the ISSCV and the ISSAPC, I have placed the "baseline" prints and technical data on the R&D Thread. I have not begun making these yet...but if one of you are willing, create a production cost for us, and we'll go from there. Let me know how many we could produce in a dedicated factory, as I have 2 factories ready for production soon.

Selling rights?

Why would he give them to you, it's a waste of his money. Your customers would have been his...

If you sell those, it'd be taking money out of his pockets...

Sambizie: I think LoA is referring to: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63733&highlight= (Please note my post at the bottom).

Those ISSCV/module numbers are for per RL day, not including my own retainment for my purposes (in other words, to flesh out my Air Wings and various land based squadrons). As such, once I finish my own acquisitions, the number of produced aircraft will increase greatly.

he bought it for an "anti-nuclear weapons program", but now he use the laser and money for himself, including buying +20,000 nuke cruise missiles. And I donated 5 billion to that program during my economic crisis.

But Islamaisbad probably ignored him for his bad RPing including teleporting his B-2s which carried 100+ nuke bombs and pretending it didn't get shot down :roll:

Sambizie, I think you should perhaps bring Omz into the Hammerhead manufacturing business.

My good friend, you are going to get a Christmas card this year. :D

You should take pretty much all the weapons and prices on Page 7 of the R&D thread (except the Clubber, which for the purposes of RPing, has been restricted to just the JFK for safety). That's the SAMRAAM; Sidewinder-S; and space versions of the Harpoon, SLAM, HARM etc

Oh and also, I posted a mini "brief" on the AWACS pod for the ISSCV, also in the R&D Thread (Page 9, I think). Cost is 10 million for each pod and can be carried without mod to the ISSCV itself. WA is still working on the recon Hammerhead.

OK, I'll work on it in a few. :lol:
Thanks.

So, I should only list the XAIM-120A SAMRAAM & the XAIM-9 "Sidwinder-s"?

You can also list the air to ground ordnance, except the Harpoon, I need to fix that (it'll be the new Anti Ship weapon for the Hammerhead, a replacement for the Clubber).

BUMP...in hopes that someone finds these mines interesting

The Dominion of Cho Gal would like to present a new addition to the growing family of items to be used in conjunction with The Allied Powers' John F. Kennedy class cruisers: the CG-1 space mine!

(The image refuses to go up. Go here (http://www.geocities.com/direwulf01/index.html) to hopefully see the picture. Reason why I had to edit this so many times.)

Manufacturers: Templar Technology Solution Industries (Cho Gal)

Production Capacity: 100 units/day per factory (currently there is only 1 factory handling production)

Dimensions:
-Length: 6m
-*Made of non-reflective, camouflage materials that make the mine near-impossible to see with the naked eye from a distance of >2km.

Price Per Unit: $430.000 per mine

Control: Stationary mine (no propulsion, must be placed into position by a seperate vehicle)

Sensors:
-IFF Module
-50km-ranged sensor for turret acquisition
-5km-ranged sensor for missile acquisition

Durability:
Low (can be destroyed/made inoperable after bombardment by 5-6 Plasma Laser shots)

Armament:
-1x laser mount
-1x XAIM-9 Sidewinder-S (NOT included)

Description:

In order to enhance the capabilities of the JFK class carrier both as an offensive and defensive vehicle, and increase the effectiveness of any planet's defense, Templar Technology Solution Industries (TTSI) has developed the CG-1 space mine. This unit can be launched into orbit over a celestial body or be placed in an area where it will remain stationary. TTSI has included in this unit two sensing devices, which work together with their respective weapon on the mine. The 50km-ranged sensor detects enemy ships heading toward the mine and activates the laser turret to begin firing upon the intruder. If the vessel is not deterred by this laser bombardment, the second sensor trips when the vessel is 5km from the mine. This sensor activates the missile launching system, which sends an XAIM-9 Sidewinder-S missile at the vessel. The missile is not included with the mine and must be purchased seperately from an authorized dealer. Targeting information is sent to the missile prior to launch by the sensor. As long as the launching system remains functional (in addition to the rest of the mine), a new missile can be reloaded into the mine if its own has been launched at a target. The IFF module must be programmed manually through an uplink hardwired to the mine itself. Although this makes it a long task to add new "enemies" into the IFF system of each deployed mine in an area, it prevents any attackers from disabling the mines remotely.

To order XAIM-9 Sidewinder-S missiles, we would suggest contacting Adejaani. Installation of the missiles is quite simple and should pose no problems at all...a simple "snap into place" process.

That was him? :shock: I remember that incident. Mars Volta was a good man, I owe practically my entire Aerospace industry to him (buying the aircraft, then building an industry towards making spare parts and now my own).

I actually remember him begging, now that you mention it, offering to pay so many billions for it and beginning. :roll:
yeah, it is.

he bought it for an "anti-nuclear weapons program", but now he use the laser and money for himself, including buying +20,000 nuke cruise missiles. And I donated 5 billion to that program during my economic crisis.

EDIT: I forgot to metion that he just carpet-nuked Islamaisbad a while ago, and causing 250 million people to die, and he is anti-nuclear-weapons :roll: . But Islamaisbad probably ignored him for his bad RPing including teleporting his B-2s which carried 100+ nuke bombs and pretending it didn't get shot down :roll:

Actually I Am still Doing that project it will be done by september 1st

[OOC: You are anti-nuclear while you nuked Islamaisbad using some 203572035820358 nukes from your 5 or 6 B-2s?]

20x ISSAPC, please.

-Deleted-

20x ISSAPC, please.

Order confirmed: That will be $1.0 Billion. (includes 20 ISSCV's)

Your shipment wll arrive within 1 (RL) day.

Omz with the quickness :lol:

bump, to get sambizie more customers.... hehehehe

Thanks Illior :lol:

welcome, :P :lol:

*bump, new product* :lol:

Good work, Sambizie. :D

Now kindly skip over to the R&D, make note of the new recommended Air Wing mix (which makes note of the pods). And also, Illior wants to make JFKs/Constitutions of his own. I'd recommend we start him off and keep him at two ships only (just to keep the production realistic).

I can't find it...TG it to me and I'll put it up..lol

The new "recommended" Air Wing for the Constitution class is:

• 168x SA-43 Hammerhead (Fighter)
• 96x SB-32 Mako (Bomber)
• 16x SEA-43 Howler (Electronic Warfare)
• 48x ISSCV (Mobility Lifter)

In addition, because of the modular nature of these systems, they can be assigned to the appropriate system with minor rework to the parent airframe hardware and software:

24x Cargo pods for the ISSCV
24x Troop pods for the ISSCV
24x AWACS pods for the ISSCV
24x THARPS pods for the S-43

This is what the Republic of Adejaani will HAVE, but operators can mix and match their Air Wings depending on mission.

:P

Adejanni, I was forced to place an order on the R&D thread (I say forced because every time I tried to get to the sales thread I was given an error from Internet Exporer). However, bright guy that I am, I never made sure that you saw the order. It just occurred to me now that I should have reposted it here a while ago, but one can't expect that much from me...in any case, the order was for fighters and missiles. Sambizie handled the craft order, but we're still in need for the missiles before we have to stock the carriers on the 27th.

Thanks, and sorry for posting it on the wrong thread in the first place but I wanted to at least post it somewhere before I got swamped with work.

Very quietly, in other words, don't let this out, but APTO members and allies pretty much get free munitions. I make far more than enough munitions anyway (part of the advantage of insisting my military hold live fire training exercises as often as possible).

My only requirement is telling me how many air to air missiles (namely Sidewinder-S; SAMRAAM; Arrow; and Clubber) you want, because those have to be made "specially".

You would be pleased to note the XAIM-54 "Arrow" is now on sale, an anti ship missile for the Mako. It's not the Harpoon, but it's just as effective and space capable. :)

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!

I mean!

Despite reports from National Security Advisor, Doctor Aierserkeiel, about your nation's pouring huge amounts of funds into acquiring modern military hardware, your order for a single JFK carrier has been confirmed.

You will need to transmit 25 billion up front, 25 upon delivery (failure to deliver the funds would resolve in your ship becoming impounded).

Also, by acquiring a JFK carrier, you must promise never to use it to take offensive action against The Allied Powers or any of its allies.

Once you submit the down payment, the construction dates will be made known to you.

OOC: I will be off the record as far as production goes. I need to "re-build" my fleet as the current one is being dispatched.

I will continue to manufacture the entire line, however I will not be able to sell anything for a bit. If anyone has a "yard" I can rent, I need to make some JFK's :lol:

Due to Illior jumping on the bandwagon, I can lay down four ships for you. (27th to 29th) and then, unless Illior makes his own orders, eight slots will be available for order.

OOC: Constitution-class vessel PCU-22 is still designated for me, correct?

OOC: Constitution-class vessel PCU-22 is still designated for me, correct?

Since you cancelled that order, no, not exactly..... But there's been no new..... BAH. Schedule posting:

PCU-18 Ordered- to be delivered to Adejaani (construction 27th to 29th) Notes: Named ANS Chesapeke SCVB-5
PCU-19 Ordered- to be delivered to Adejaani (construction 27th to 29th) Notes: Named ANS President SCVB-6
PCU-20 Ordered- to be delivered to Omz222 (construction 27th to 29th)
PCU-21 Ordered- to be delivered to Omz222 (construction 27th to 29th)
PCU-22 Ordered- for Killer koalas after deposit is received

Sambizie has noted he wants a few ships, but no firm orders as of yet. If you want three ships (PCU-22 will be given to him, since you cancelled and you can have 23 and above)

OOC: Just found the point where I said I'd put it off. I think that I'll put in a reserve order on a later constitution class then with the possibility that I might screw your system over by just passing it on to the next purchaser on your list. :D

The reason I ask is that I am considering a big move. You'll be TM'd when I post about it.

Yes, Please as many JFK' as I can get Adejaani. I have a feeling my current fleet may get.... :cry:

I am also still looking for a shipyard, if any of you...or any of your allies can help...let me know. As I stated, I can pay for the "rental".

OOC: Thank you. I need a few notes too :P

PCU-20 Ordered- to be delivered to Omz222 (construction 27th to 29th)
Note: Flagship, name OSCS-03 Gate of Victory

PCU-21 Ordered- to be delivered to Omz222 (construction 27th to 29th)
Note: Name OSCS-04 Revolution

Also, when will these carriers get delivered?

Okay. Um, Western Asia, the production lines are ALWAYS open and you can always order at any time (though you might have to wait for the order to be filled).

Sambizie: Four ships. It was "my fault" I wasn't on, so I'll retroactively slot you in, construction 27th to 29th. You can pay me the whole lot later (being like my most important friend here). Once those orders are complete, you can either keep building Constitutions, OR, you can hire my yards for four ships (you'd need to contact Illior separately for his yards).

PCU-23 Ordered- to be delivered to Sambizie (construction 27th to 29th)

Sorry, my mind has gone to mush. Could you please restate that in "I need you to build X ships for me" or "Can I please rent your yards to build X ships"

I need you to build (4) ships for me (ordered). And when those are delievered I will need to "Rent" enough space for the construction of (2) ships at a time.

Okay. All outstanding orders of JFKs/Constitutions now complete. Omz, your two, Sambizie, your four are ready for delivery.

Sambizie: Go ahead, you can "rent" two shipyards (I'll do this as a gift and let you have it "for free"), but I'd like to know what your building, your schedules etc The rest, you can run your merry heart dry.

KILLER KOALAS: Your deposit has still not been received. Unless you confirm your order and deposit, your order for one baseline John F. Kennedy carrier shall be cancelled

Thank you Adejaani, the ships will be picked up shortly.

The 2 shipyards will be used for various projects. The first being a Flagship for the Sambizie Fleet. With aquirrd technology, specifications, and blueprints from the Zoarg Empire, we will use 1 slip for the construction of this:
http://www.cool-to-be-evil.de/pics/ships/Ship26_2.jpg
This will be the Flagship for the Sambizie.
Production time: 3-4 (RL) days.

The other slip will be used to manufacture JFK's and Colony Ships. After the completion of the Flagship, that slip will be used for the manufacturing of "DAKBA Class" Destroyers and Colony ships.
http://www.gilsostartrekschematics.co.uk/shipgallery/shipgallery4/jembattle.jpg

I will provide you with a schedule soon. Thanks again.

OOC: Finally back on track with the munitions order...

The Dominion of Cho Gal would like to request from Adejaani that the following missiles be constructed for use on our nation's new JFK carriers, attack frigates, and fighters/bombers.
1500 XAIM-54 Arrow
400 XGM-86A Clubber
2100 XAIM-120A SAMRAAM
2100 XAIM-9 Sidewinder

Confirmation and an estimate of when these missiles should be ready for pick-up would be greatly appreciated.

Sambizie: Okey dokey. My four yards are currently "JFK/Constitution specific", but I've got engineers working on expanding them. As I noted, please, if you're going to build any JFKs/Constitutions, please tell me first, okay? :) I know it's "your" craft, but I like the rush of having and knowing that I have power over them. :P

Oh, but before I forget, whoever said it is right, I need Destroyers, Frigates, Cruisers and the like to complement the JFK/Constitution line. As such, per your TG, I'd like to jump in and help co-fund/R&D anything on the drawing boards!

Cho Gal: The missiles will come in batches of three RL days (roughly even shipments). The missiles are currently made "by hand", that's why I wanted to know how many. :? And I'm converting a few factories to automate the process, so you can pretty much have all the missiles you need. (But please don't abuse this help friends system, okay? :roll:)

BLIMP :P

Yes...it' been a "Goodyear" :lol:

BREAKING NEWS!

The Republic of Adejaani has unveiled a new missile, which is guaranteed to never miss (unless it is shot down)!!!!! What's the big fuss? A rocket motor strapped to a lawyer representing Microsoft, who is told that the target has violated Microsoft EULA$. :lol:

Hey Samba, what's things like on the ship weaponry front? I've got the designs of several indigenous escorts ready, just no weapons fit......

Well, several new missiles and torpedoes are being developed by me and the Zoarg Empire. He has agreed to release his Phantom Class to us for sale. We are working on various matter/anti-matter weaponary as well as "accelerated partical" weaponary. These weapons will be "space" specific...but hopefully modular to the SA's and Carriers, (with the possible reconfiguration of the launching/firing mechanics). This may bring about the new Carrier Classes.

OOC: Before I begin, YES, the picture is from Robotech/Macross, NO, I am not using ANY Robotech/Macross tech which may have been copyrighted (except given to me by the Robotech/Macross nations). Most of the basic stats for the ship (except the weapons) is taken directly from http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/Naval/Banshee.html

IC: Official report filed by Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. The Sambizie class DE (Destroyer Escort)

http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/sambizie_de.jpg

Adejaani's first indigenous armed space vessel, named after our closest of friends and allies, the Republic of Sambizie. It has taken much in development and effort, but it is finally ready for production. Utilising a sleek hull form and the best of technologies, both provided and researched, the Sambizie DE is a formidable small vessel. Please don't let the "Destroyer Escort" designation fool you. Although it is the size of a Frigate with its performance, its weapons, range and reach is more appropriate to a proper Destroyer.

The development of this ship has taken place before the exchange of technical (particularly weapons and defenses) expertise from allies. Therefore, the current production Flight I ships are only an interim solution until the new technologies can be incorporated.

It should be noted that these ships are not intended for long term missions (though they can carry enough supplies to) as the ships are extremely spartan and lack decent recreational or other morale raising facilities aboard.

Class: Sambizie
Designation: DE (Destroyer Escort)
Designer: Adejaani Aerospace Inc.
Dimensions: 195.1 metres (length); 41.4 metres (height); 51.4 metres (width)
Mass: 40,000 metric tons
Powerplant: Helium-3 Fusion
Engines: Wormhole drives (FTL); Inertial fusion (sublight)
Crew: 80
Weapons:
• 1x 450 Megawatt laser (forward superfiring)
• 2x 300 Megawatt lasers (30 degree forward arc)
• 12x 50 Megawatt lasers (in 6 dual turrets)

I am honored that you have named these fine ships after the Empire of Sambizie. May we continue on our path of peace and friendship. In return, we wish to name the proposed Siesana Shipyard after you. We will talk soon.

M. Uganda

Addendum filed by Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. Sambizie class DE, Flight IA

To further increase combat capabilities, all Sambizie DE ships will be upgraded to Flight IA standard. Changes include (everything else remains as per original specs):

• Upgrade to 4x 300 Megawatt lasers (60 degree forward arc)
• Upgrade to 12x 50 Megwatt lasers (in dual multi angle swivel turrets)
• Hangar bay for (EDIT) 4x SA-43 Hammerhead fighters
• Increase in crew (including air wing) to 100

Again, it is hoped that very soon, allies can begin to divulge technical information to further upgrade the Sambizie. But until then, the Flight IA ships are being marketed.

EDIT: Cost will be 150 million per ship and depending on RP and behavior records, may not be sold.

Just a small update, the Sambizie Flight IA ships' laser batteries are now pulse lasers. Same output, same number, same arcs, but fires faster (but requires a lot more energy).

Sorry about that bud, next time just slap me :lol:
Look it over...see if that's ok.

You forgot the Hammerheads. But drop this air wing down to four aircraft. It's mostly for extension of firepower, not "fight outright".

What Hammerheads? How many does it carry? You didn't mention it...or I missed it :lol: So it carries 4 SA-43's?

Yeah. Four Hammerheads. I made the slight comment in the ShaRa RP about the ships being cramped already. The Ikazuchi ship from Macross (which forms the hull of the Imitora) is slightly better, but I didn't want to make it another Battlecarrier. That'll probably end up with a dozen Hammerheads, maybe a pair of Makos and Howlers, I dunno yet.

Oh and recently acquired Polarised Hull Plating as well goes into the ships. Exactly like in Enterprise.

IC: Official report filed by Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. The New Empire class MT (Multipurpose Transport)

http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/images/ARMD_tia3p90.jpg

This ship has been long in coming, even if the need has not existed for a long time. The little Sambizie Destroyer Escorts and the massive Constitution Battlecarriers both carried with it enough stores and supplies to sustain operations. However, with the amount of battlespace increasing, as well as being increasingly farther from home, thus was born the New Empire class multipurpose transport.

The large "box" shape, plus the large flat deck makes it suitable for carrying large amounts of supplies. When combined with the modular cargo system of the ISSCV/APC makes it ideal for moving large amounts of cargo.

In addition, the New Empire is the first Adejaani ship designed from the start to use Sambizie's Matter/Anti matter drives, which makes the ship faster and more robust.

Though it should be noted that this class is designated "Multipurpose Transport", as opposed to "Combat Logistics Ship". This means it is unarmed (though it has the full range of defenses, electronic warfare systems and the like) and should never enter the line of fire.

http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/sambizie_de.jpg

With technological aid from allies, the Block II Sambizie is now at its peak, attaining the status of "Destroyer" while still retaining its "Frigate" abilities.

The Sambizie Block II was designed to be easily manufactured, yet still maneuverable, packing a sizeable punch, low crew, low maintenance and upkeep. More importantly, because of its sole use of energy based weapons and variance advances, the ships only need to be resupplied once every six months, making logistics much simpler.

Perhaps the biggest drawback would be in terms of the crew. Accomodations are spartan at best and the ships lack any form of crew recreation beyond their own personal supply and the occasional movie screening. Therefore, extended duration missions with the Sambizie are not recommended at all.

http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/images/Ikazuchi_ACGp91.gif

When the little Sambizie appeared, it was never designed to be powerful, even though it did have the best weapons fit available. Though it was never designed to go "toe to toe" with larger ships. The Imitora is that larger ship. A Heavy Cruiser designed to take on ships on a roughly equal footing.

Compared to the earlier ship, the Imitora is bigger, more spacious and packs in more and more powerful weaponry. Again, the reliance on energy weaponry drastically reduces logistics and resupply for these vessels.

It should also be noted, once more, this ship can carry a light Hammerhead fighter complement (12 aircraft, or one squadron), though its primary focus is as a Cruiser.

IC: Official report filed by Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. The New Genoa class Dreadnought (DN)

http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/images/izumo_frontld.jpg

Ah, the majestic New Genoa class. Designed with the purpose of "One Salvo, One Kill". To this objective, the ship is practically built around the Imitora designed PPW-14 plasma energy weapon, which makes up the entire forward quarter of the ship. This weapon is capable of blasting away the size of an entire continent on a planet, though it would leave the ship drained of power. To combat against this, the New Genoa class sports a massive double Warp Reactor. Although finicky, this was the only way to adequately power the beast.

As a secondary knock on effect of the ship, as dictated by the PPW-14, the hull was large enough to carry a weapons complement roughly twice the size and lethality of its Imitora class Heavy Cruiser cousin. Further, massive hangars could be installed, giving each ship roughly three times as much aircraft as the older Constitution carriers.

But what are the downsides? First of all, the ship is over a kilometre and a half long and over half a kilometre wide. That's one big ship! Secondly, her systems require so much power and constant recalibration, which means the ships are temperamental at best. If there's another problem, it's that the shields are far too weak for a ship of its size, relying instead on massed firepower from itself, its air wing and its escorts for protection.

Of course, the biggest downside to these beasts is cost. Including Research and Development and the production of four ships (New Genoa, Lexington, Saratoga and Alliance (as in APTO) was twelve Trillion Allied Credits. Each ship (plus Air Wing) sucks up roughly 100 Billion in operating costs per year.

http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/images/ARMD_tia3p90.jpg

The Liberty Fighters class is based off of the venerable New Empire class transport. After a review of the upcoming class of Marine dockship, it was decided something faster with atmospheric capabilities was needed to deliver troops onto the ground faster.

Typically, each LF class ship would enter the atmosphere with heavy Ortillery and fighter support. A series of special ramps all along the side allows the Marine complement to disembark and literally run into the line of fire.

Currently, the complement of the LF class is EITHER:

• 3,000x Light Infantry (light/no armor)

IC: Official report filed by Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. The Elara class Landing Ship Dock (LSD)

http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/images/Tokugawa_animec1084p49.gif

The Liberty Fighters was small and had no real provisions for long campaigns. Those troops that disembarked from her bowels literally had whatever they carried with them in their hands and on their back. They didn't even carry additional food and water and needed resupply from orbital transports literally the day after they landed, or the day after. Similarly, the carrying capacity of the LF class was too small, especially on longer campaigns.

So, the new Elara class was designed to the following specifications:

• Could carry and deliver onto a planet's surface up to a full Division of (24,000) Light Infantry wearing light or no armor using dropships and recovering them at the end of the operation
• Could carry and deliver enough supplies to last a Division for one month of operations
• Could carry its own small fighter complement for Close Air Support, strike missions etc

To save space, ease construction and reduce costs, armaments would be kept to a near minimum, mostly anti fighter weapons. The Elara is not a combatant. She is meant to enter orbit only after Naval and Air Superiority had been achieved by the rest of the fleet. However, once she does enter orbit, she is completely self sustaining, only needing a resupply if the ground operation lasts longer than one month.

Currently, the complement of the Elara class is EITHER:

• 24,000x Light Infantry (light/no armor)
• 12,000x Heavy Infantry (heavy personal power armor)

Pulsar I Matter/Anti-Matter Drivers for sale.

Aero-Tech Industries has successfully completed the R&D, testing, and implimentation of the Paulsar I M/A-M Warp Drive. The first ship that will be outfitted with the new driver will be the "Imitora" Class vessel, supplied by the nation of Adejaani. This vessel will be fitted with the driver at the Sambizie Shipyards within the GZNRII System. All "new" ships manufactured at this facility will be scaled to fit the Pulsar I. Two drydocks are in reserve as to refit the existing fleet with Pulsar Drivers.

System Specifications:
Matter/Anti Matter Pods
There are two distinct fuel storage systems on board; the matter storage is generally a single large fuel tank holding a large amount of slush Deuterium - in the case of the Sambizie and Roland class there is 62,500 m3 of actual Deuterium within 63,200 m3 of tankage space - the rest being accounted for by internal compartmentalization of the fuel tank. The ship thus carries 12,500 metric tons of fuel, sufficient for a mission period of three years assuming normal use of warp and impulse drive, orbiting of planets, etc.
The antimatter is contained within much smaller pods; the standard starship antimatter pod is capable of holding 100 m3 of fuel for a total of 3,000 m3 in a Sambizie class Starship. We will not reveal exactly how much antimatter is kept on board our ships, as this would allow threat forces to make detailed estimates of the total output of a ships power systems. It is known that the antimatter used in the Sambizie class is antihydrogen, and that it is kept stored within magnetic fields. In the event of a systems failure which threatens antimatter containment, the pods can be thrown clear of the ship by emergency systems of considerable reliability.
Reactant Injections
Fuel from the pods is sent to the reactant injectors; these are designed to condition and feed streams of matter and antimatter into the warp core. The matter reactant injector is located at the top of the warp core; it is a conical structure some 5.2 meters in diameter and 6.3 meters high. The injector is constructed of dispersion strengthened woznium carbmolybdenide. Shock attenuation cylinders connect it to the deuterium fuel tank and the skeletal structure of the ship, allowing it to 'float' free within the structure.
Within the vessels, the MRI contains redundant sets of crossfed injectors. Each injector would consists of a twin deuterium manifold, fuel conditioner, fusion pre-burner, magnetic quench block, transfer duct/gas combiner, nozzle head, and related control hardware. Other designs are in use by civilian craft and other species. Although operation varies from class to class, in general slush deuterium enters the inlet manifolds and is passed to the conditioners where heat is removed. This brings the deuterium to just above solid transition point; micropellets are formed and then pre-burned by a magnetic pinch fusion system. The fuel is them sent on to a gas combiner where it reaches a temperature in the region of 106 K. Nozzle heads then focus the gas streams and send them down into the constriction segments.
The Sambizie safety protocols require that should any nozzle fail, the combiner can continue to supply the remaining nozzles which would dilate to accommodate the increased fuel flow. The present generation of nozzles are constructed of frumium-copper-yttrium 2343.
The antimatter injector lies at the lower end of the warp core. Its internal design is distinctly different from that of the matter injector owing to the dangerous nature of antimatter fuel; every step in manipulating the antihydrogen must use magnetic to keep the material from physically touching any part of the structure. In some ways the ARI is a simpler device requiring fewer moving components. It uses the same basic structural housing and shock attenuation as the matter system, with adaptations for magnetic suspension fuel tunnels. The structure contains three pulsed antimatter gas flow separators; these serve to break up the incoming antihydrogen into small manageable packets and send them up into the constriction segments. Each flow separator leads to an injector nozzle and each nozzle cycles open in response to computer control signals. Nozzle firing can follow highly complicated sequences resulting from the varying demands of reaction pressures and temperatures and desired power output, amongst other factors.
Magnetic Constrictors
The magnetic constrictors make up the bulk of the warp core. They provide physical support to the reaction chamber, pressure containment for the whole core and, most importantly, guide and align the fuel flow onto the desired location within the reaction chamber. The matter constrictor is typically longer than the antimatter constrictor, as antimatter is easier to focus and so requires a shorter distance for the same accuracy. Typically, the magnetic constrictors are divided into segments; each segment will contain several sets of tension frame members, a toroidal pressure vessel wall, several sets of magnetic constrictor coils and related power and control hardware. Constrictor coils will have dozens of active elements, and on more advanced designs these will be configures to contain the magnetic field almost wholly within the constrictor, with minimum spillage into the exterior environment. Our warp cores usually have the outermost layers of the constrictors constructed of a semi-transparent layer which allows harmless secondary photons to escape from the inner layers, creating a glow effect. This gives an immediate visual cue to the current activity rates within the warp core.
As the fuel is released from the injector nozzles, the constrictors compress it and increase the velocity considerably. This ensures the proper collision energy and alignment within the reaction chamber.
Reaction Chambers
This is in many ways the "heart" of the ship. The principle function of any reaction chamber is to allow the matter and antimatter streams to come together and direct the resultant energy flow into the power transfer conduits. This apparently simple task is rendered highly complex by the need to allow the various sensor and other monitoring and control equipment to function within the chamber. The addition of dilithium to regulate and control the reaction, while allowing far higher efficiency and so increasing the power output, has also lead to ever more complex designs - most especially in more recent starships which are designed to allow continual recompositing of the dilithium whilst in use. Nevertheless, reaction chambers of today perform fundamentally the same task as those of a century ago or more.
Dilithium Crystals
Dilithium is a key factor in the design of any efficient matter / antimatter reactor, and has been incorporated into Sambizie Starship designs. The key to the success of dilithium lies in the remarkable properties of this material. When subjected to a high frequency electromagnetic field in the megawatt range, dilithium - or 2<5>6 dilithium 2<:> diallosilicate 1:9:1 heptoferranide to give it the full scientific name - becomes completely porous to antimatter. The field dynamo effect created by the iron atoms within the crystalline structure allows antimatter atoms to pass through without actually touching it; it is thus the only known substance which does not react to the antimatter fuel commonly used in our fleetships. Dilithium can thus be used to mediate the reaction, boosting efficiency.
Eventually reliance on natural dilithium was reduced after breakthroughs in nuclear epitaxy and antieutectics made it possible to synthesize dilithium for Starship use through theta-matrix compositing techniques utilizing gamma radiation bombardment. However, refining dilithium ore is a procedure which is still viable for Starships which are unable to obtain synthetic dilithium from a Starbase or other manufacturing facility. This is not generally a problem within known space.
Power Transfer Conduits
The power transfer conduits are similar in nature to the magnetic constrictors of the warp core, in that they are ducts designed to use high energy magnetic fields to carry energetic plasma from one point to another. But where the magnetic constrictors operate only across relatively short distances and require a very high degree of precision with a comparatively low energy plasma, the PTC's must carry very energetic plasma across large distances with - relatively speaking - far less finesse. The Sambizie ships are equipped with a separate PTC line for each nacelle, a measure which increases resistance to battle damage or other failures. Since most ships have twin nacelles, two PTC's will typically be arranged to be symmetrical about the ships centerline. These will proceed through the bulk of the engineering hull and along the connecting struts, if any, to the nacelles themselves.
Smaller versions of these heavy duty systems are also used to carry power to components such as the phasers, shields, high energy scientific laboratories and the temperal cloaking device, (TCD Generator).
Plasma Injectors
At the terminus of the Power Transfer Conduits are the plasma injectors. One of these devices is fitted in each nacelle, and has the task of sending a precisely aimed plasma flow through the center of the warp coils.
Because of the relatively low accuracy with which the plasma flow is usually controlled by a PTC, the plasma injector system must often be designed to re-condition the fuel flow in order to dampen down turbulence and so ensure a smooth flow through the warp coils. In many designs, most especially those systems with the highest raw power output, the plasma flow from the PTC is split into two parts and sent through swirl dampers before being recombined during the injection process. Our experience has found that this method reduces the size of the required hardware to a reasonable minimum.
Warp Coils
After its long journey from the fuel systems, the flow is finally directed down the warp coils. These devices are large split toroids which take up the bulk of the nacelle. In order to increase efficiency they are usually made from multiple layers of various materials; this complicates the manufacturing processes greatly.
The warp coils generate a multi-layered set of fields around the craft, creating the propulsive forces that enable a Starship to travel beyond light speed. Manipulation of the shape and size of the field determines the velocity, acceleration and direction of the vessel.
CORE SPECS:
The dielectric core elements are wrapped with an inner layer of tungsten-cobalt-magnesium, and an outer layer of verterium cortenide. This more allows the coils to use the low powered warp field that the warp plasma is already generating to greatly enhance the engines efficiency.

We are basing the demands of intersteller travel, utilizing the following to formulas:

Up to Warp 9 :
V/c = WF(10/3)

Beyond Warp 9 the formula becomes somewhat more complex. It is best approximated by :

V/c = WF[{(10/3)+a*(-Ln(10-WF))^n}+f1*((WF-9)^5)+f2*((WF-9)^11)]

Warp 10 cannot be reached. Theoretically, at Warp 10 (Infinite Velocity) a vessel and it's occupants would be at all points in the universe simultaneously.

The total cost is dependant on the type of vessel and time it would take for the "fit". Pliminary cost are estimated at $250 Million with a time frame of 6-8 months for "simple" ships and up to a year for larger more complex ships.

Official report by Doctor Marianne Brooks, jead of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. Constitution class Battle Carrier, Block II (CVB)

When the first John F. Kennedy and Constitution carriers went into service, they represented a quantum leap forward in the Adejaani space capabilities. Capable of FTL (Faster Than Light) travel, the ships pushed Adejaani to the stars and beyond. Though like all firsts, the ships were superceded as new technologies emerged, but their design was sound and their strengthened hulls still capable of absorbing new technologies.

Engineer's footnote: It should be noted that the hulls proved to be extremely hardy and in far better condition than generally expected for ships that had seen heavy combat. This was due to the fact that the ships were designed before energy shielding was available, which meant the hull was doubly thick and armored. Even without hull augmenting energy fields, the ships had more "tensile" hull strength than most other ships in service!

Thus, the venerable Constitution class underwent a major refit to bring it back up to par. The various pulse laser weapons were swapped out for newer Particle Cannon and Pulse Laser systems, though the various missile and torpedo armaments were retained and the new defensive systems increased. A new drive system, plus slightly largened hangar spaces to accomodate the newest fighter designs puts this ship back on the cutting edge of technology, to again serve Above & Beyond the call of duty.

NOTE: The original baseline John F. Kennedy class is still being produced on demand, but will not have any upgrades at all.

Built to outclass even the best of ShaRa Battle ships, the AP is unique to the Sambizie Ship Yards as she was designed and constructed there. In addition to the AP's normal weapon systems, she contains a weapons array which can be updated as new technology is designed. This will allow Sambizie to keep the latest in weapons technology aboard the AP without a major refit of the class. The AP Class is the first vessel in Sambizie to feature the Isokinetic Cannon technology. In addition to traditional weapons, the AP contains a shuttle bay in the weapons array. This shuttle bay houses a small detachment of Vampire Class One Person Fighters. The AP is also designed to house a detachment of Marines if assigned. The AP Class is named after the NS Region of The Allied Powers. Registration Numbers for the AP Class are of the 155xxx series.

Adejaani Government Industries announces SF-43 Hammerhead II line

http://www.wildcards.freeserve.co.uk/sa43.gif

The venerable old Hammerhead and its derivatives were (and are) fantastic aircraft, which were versatile and multirole, as evidenced by the numerous variants. Further, the cost of maintenance of the various variants was expensive, especially for cash strapped militaries, not to mention a strain on logistics. And lastly, as good as the various Hammerhead variants were, they were outclassed. As an 'Air/Space Superiority' fighter, it lacked the speed, reach and firepower of other products and as a 'Strike Fighter', it lacked the payload capacity and range of other products.

Thus was born the Hammerhead II program, an ambitious attempt to replace the baseline SA-43, SA-48, SAF-22, SA-45, SB-43 and SEA-43 and it wins hands down! To replace the six different aircraft, only four variants are needed, as listed below:

• SF-43A Single Seat Conventional Fighter; Roles: Air/Space Superiority; Light/Medium Strike; Strike Escort; Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses
• SF-43B Two Seat Conventional Fighter; Roles: Interceptor; Trainer; Heavy Strike; Electronic Warfare; Forward Air Controller; Reconnaisance; Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses
• SF-43C Single Seat VSTOL Fighter; Roles: Air/Space Superiority; Light/Medium Strike; Strike Escort; Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses
• SF-43D Two Seat VSTOL Fighter; Roles: Interceptor; Trainer; Heavy Strike; Electronic Warfare; Forward Air Controller; Reconnaisance; Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses

As can be seen, each airframe is capable of numerous missions, requiring only software and modular equipment pod changes, which can be changed by a skilled technical crew in ten minutes. Indeed, the only major difference between the above airframes are, the number of seats and whether or not it's VSTOL! Each airframe is identical in parts and internal equipment, which is expected to lower maintenance costs considerably.

The next step in evolution was the powerplant. The Helium-3 powered SCRAMjets were fantastic, but Helium-3 isn't exactly the easiest fuel source to procure. So, the Hammerhead II uses an osmosis converter to turn plain water, which is its primary fuel source, into Hydrogen and Oxygen, the former for use in its Hydrogen Fusion reactor and the Oxygen for the pilot. The use of water makes the airframe less vulnerable to catastrophic damage.

A further improvement in the SF-43 line is in the area of surface to space ops, like from say, an Earth like planet to space. While the older Hammerheads had this capability, it tended to vastly decrease range, due to major fuel consumption. While this can be offset by drop pods, their use usually comes at the cost of one or two ordnance points. A new pair of overwing fuel tanks solves this problem, by giving the SF-43 enough fuel to transit the atmosphere while allowing for a full array of weapons to be carried. The overwing fuel tanks are jettisoned upon exit of the atmosphere and while this does require a cost replacement, the benefits are a full weapons set, plus full range in space operations. The overwing fuel tanks come in three sizes, for thin atmosphere/low gravity worlds, Earth like worlds and heavy atmosphere/heavy gravity worlds.

The last item of note is, of course the upgraded avionics and electronics of the SF-43. Mission specific software, depending on the role tasked to the aircraft, can be downloaded into the aircraft's computer systems, to enable those missions to be accomplished, thus removing the need for dedicated variants. Other minor changes include strengthened and slightly enlarged airframe, added armor and additional pilot aids and comforts.

Cost is:

SF-43A/B Conventional Fighter: 60 million
SF-43 C/D VSTOL Fighter: 65 million

BUMP :D

OOC: Nice, samb :)

Do you think that I might be able to pick up a Constitution class or two (original models, used ones that are being cycled out for the new ones are fine too...minimal advanced systems needed).

Hey Western Asia, welcome back. :lol: Actually, the Constitution that's on sale now is the "Flight II", which is outdated. If you want the new advanced "Flight III", I can sell that to you, or refurbish a few of the old Flight IIs for you. Which is it? :wink:

OOC: Hand me the oldest (cheapest) flight IIs you can find...I'll have IDF Space Forces Command pay.

Oh, here. Just take the ANS Hammerstein and the ANS Chesterton, two very loved, but ultimately worn out vessels. The hull's been repaired enough for deep space flight, even if the electronics and other systems are shot. She also needs a major coat of paint and repairs to just about everything. You need an airwing? :wink:

OOC: We'll send some sort of payment over...we'll work on them at our new fancy space-stations. I've got plenty of old school Hammerheads for my purposes and some landing vessels too...I figure a year's work of modifications, system adjustments, software upgrades, and such should straighten the two of them out. Thanks!

No need to pay for them, you'll have your hands full, since these two are essentially worn out hulks with little life left. But hey, why don't you go modern? Since you're still a retailer, not to mention one of the original designers/developers, we could sell you new construction at rock bottom prices.

Since you're still a retailer, not to mention one of the original designers/developers, we could sell you new construction at rock bottom prices.

Mainly because in reality the Space Command would have to buy these to supplement the current/existing space forces (which are basically still just the 3 large space stations and attached vehicles). They'll probably use these ships as on-site construction factories for other stations, station extensions, or fighter craft. Eventually they'll be refurbished again for some limited exploration or patrols but very little modern technology is needed for that...and the Space Command still only has very limited maintenance funds (since their inventory is all very expensive to maintain from earth). I might take you up on that sometime later.

(100) SA-43 Hammerhead (Standard) = $5,500,000,000
(180) SA-43 Hammerhead (Hybrid) = $10,440,000,000
(40) SA-43 Hammerhead (Special) = $2,800,000,000
(1) JFK Cass-Varient: "Constitution" = $50,000,000,000
TOTAL: $68,740,000,000

Funds will be wired with confirmation of the order.

Space Air Wing compositions and their employment
by Vice Admiral Daniel H. Nichols, Adejaani Republic Navy

The problem of Air Wing composition has plagued military planners ever since militaries started sending aircraft to war on ships, where limited space forces difficult decisions. Skimp on fighters and go for all attack, hoping the escorts can make do? Load up on anti ship fighters and go back to support the ground troops later on? Go for all fighters and let your escorts attack the enemy ships?

Since their introduction, the Constitution class Fleet Battle Carriers (CVBs) as operated by the Adejaani Republic Navy, forms the backbone of the Fleet. Since that time, airframe designs have come and gone and it was time to take a long look at the appropriate mix of aircraft to provide maximum flexibility, defense and striking power.

The venerable SF-43 Hammerhead II, in conventional versions, will continue to form the bulk of the air wings, though, with more advanced and capable airframes available, their bulk and workload becomes less. It had been originally thought that the "B" model two seat heavy strike variant would be the bulk of the striking power. However, almost as soon as the Hammerhead II was released, the new SF-57 Thorn became available, offering more range and firepower. Added to the mix is the Vampire which fulfills the Interceptor role.

To properly design the mix, the following squadron numbers was finally decided for the uprated Flight III Constitution class:

Note: one squadron is normally made up of twelve (12) aircraft. Also, the ISSCV/APC and other shuttlecraft are stowed elsewhere aboard ship.

• 4x Vampire (Interceptor)
• 6x SF-43A Hammerhead II (single seat air/space superiority fighter; strike escort; suppression of enemy air defenses)
• 4x SF-43B Hammerhead II (dual seat electronic warfare; forward air controller; reconnaisance)
• 12x SF-57 Thorn (heavy ground attack; anti ship attack)

Total: 312 airframes

This is a near perfect balance of aircraft for the widest range of missions, placing a great emphasis on the new SF-57 Thorn, for ground and anti ship strikes. It should be noted that in a pinch, the airframes can be modified to conduct the missions billed for the other aircraft, with adequate performance. Indeed, the aforementioned Thorn can, to some extent, perform its own strike escort by replacing the ordnance on its outermost hardpoints with anti fighter missiles.

This Air Wing composition is slated to be deployed aboard the ANS Constitution after she completes her Flight III modifications and should prove a great success.

IC: Official report filed by Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. The M-66 Starfall common missile

http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/starfall.gif
Open cut schematic of the Starfall

The M-66 Starfall was designed as an outgrowth of four individual programs to meet four basic requirements: an anti air missile for use by ground troops; an anti armor weapon; a short range anti air missile for use by fighters (replacement of the aging XAIM-9 Space-Sidewinder); and a large anti capital ship torpedo.

All four requirements and programs were merged into one. A single missile frame concept, with the same general warhead, guidance and engine, in three sizes.

The first version, the M-66A, is designed to be carried by standard infantry in reusable tubes, much like the American MIM-94 Stinger of the 20th/21st century. Although no larger than the Stinger, it has far superior performance, plus a secondary anti armor/ground attack capability if launched from a position higher than the target.

The second version, the M-66B, as already noted, was designed as a replacement to the aging XAIM-9 Space-Sidewinder. A short range anti air missile, it can be carried by any air/space fighter with an air to air capability. The "B" version also sports a ground attack mode, with the ability to track armor, plus other targets like SAM/AAA sites, command posts and the similar.

The third and final version, the M-66C is a large missile (really, a torpedo), for use against enemy (space) capital ships and large troop transports. An interesting use is the onboard self guidance via semi active radar homing, which allows for the "C" to be carried aboard even single seat aircraft. Unfortunately, this forces the firing aircraft to remain in a straight line for approximately three seconds while the missile "locks up" its target. This is offset by the fact that the missile is self guiding, leaving the launching aircraft free to make another attack run or move on to another target. Note: Once a lock on can be achieved, the same guidance can be downlinked to all the missiles carried, ensuring a rapid ripple firing of all missiles in one wave.

Costs:
"A" infantry carried, anti air/armor: $10,000
"B" fighter carried, short range anti air/armor: $50,000
"C" fighter carried, anti capital ship: $100,000

Ordnance loads:
SF-43 Hammerhead II: Maximum four
SF-57 Thorn: Maximum eight (six recommended)

Official Declassification of the McArthur Class Battle Carrier
Aero-Tech Industries is proud to announce the completion of the new McArthur Class Battle Carrier. Unlike most Carriers, this varient was designed to be a "Front-Line" Carrier and Operations Platform. This Carrier sports a massive defensive package as well as the newest in the line of fighters. Designed to be up close and personal, this Battle Carrier is well equipped to stand alone in combat situations. Improvements include: The Pulsar Driver as well as reinforced hull plating, deflecting shields, FTL capable, and a massive upgrade of the computer core. Though not by any means elegant, the 496 Fighter complement and 100+ various weapons batteries, make this a vessel a serious threat alone, as well when accompanied by other vessels.

BUMP

Released today, is the new "D" version of the venerable M-66 Starfall missile, designed to replace the XAIM-120 "Space AMRAAM", as the premier medium range air to air missile. So, to summary:

"A" infantry carried, anti air/armor: $10,000
"B" fighter carried, short range anti air/armor: $50,000
"C" fighter carried, long range anti capital ship: $100,000
"D" fighter carried, medium range anti air: $70,000

Official report filed by Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. The M-66 Starfall common missile

http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/starfall.gif

It had to happen. The Starfall was just plain and simply too good to waste. Its airframe was solid, as was its warhead, targetting, sensors, engines and maneuvering. The fighter launched versions were already exceeding every expectation heaped on it. Thus, it was only natural yet even more variants of the Starfall be developed.

No less than three brand new versions, bringing the total to seven versions of the Starfire into service.

"A" infantry carried, anti air/armor; $10,000
"B" fighter carried, short range anti air/armor; $50,000
"C" fighter carried, long range anti capital ship; $100,000
"D" fighter carried, medium range anti air; $70,000
"E" ship carried, short range anti air/missile/torpedo; $50,000
"F" ship carried, medium range anti air/missile/torpedo; $75,000
"G" ship carried, long range anti capital ship; $120,000

The "E" and "F" versions are now mounted on almost every class of capital ship in Adejaani service, usually in flush mounted VLS (Vertical Launch System) complexes. These two versions have performed excellently as anti air missiles, and also to intercept incoming anti ship torpedoes and missiles.

The "G" version replaces the old XAGM-86A "Clubber" heavy anti ship torpedo that was in service for many years and was due a long deserved retirement. The "G" is typically mounted in forward or aft superfiring (that is, straight line along the forward/aft axis) torpedo tubes, though it is capable of targetting and maneuvering to a target approximately thirty degrees off centerline and has a maximum standoff range of about thirty thousand kilometres.

Software and minor hardware improvements to the older "A", "B", "C" and "D" versions have increased capabilities and can be (software), converted to either passive, inertial guidance, active radar, or radar homing homes. This gives the missiles a capability to destroy ship or land based radar or sensor type systems.

Adejaani Government Industries (AGI) announces Excalibur heavy cruiser

http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/excalibur.jpg

AGI needed something spectacular in the arena of space combat. The little Sambizie destroyers were among the most effective vessels yet lacked firepower. The Imitora heavy cruiser had more firepower, but was too large and didn't have enough resources. At the other end of the scale was the New Genoa dreadnought, which was a white elephant, almost literally at times considering her size and chronic unreliability.

Thus, the designers of the new Excalibur heavy cruiser began with 'a clean sheet of paper'. The main heavy weapon of the class are four Plasma Cannons (the four cone like protrusions on the wings), which leashes an unguided ball of superheated plasma. This weapon works on both physical mass (the ball) and heat/energy (the plasma vaporisation once it hits enemy shields/hull).

The primary weapons are now upgraded Ion Lasers, which are a beam weapon. Also standard are VLS (Vertical Launch System) tubes for the venerable Starfire missiles which have numerous roles.

Perhaps slightly of interest is the lack of a fighter capability, even though the auxiliary craft hangar is large enough to accomodate them. Production of the Excalibur is slated to begin immediately with orders for twenty four vessels.

Adejaani Government Industries (AGI) announces SE-11 Explorer

http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/explorer.jpg

A replacement radar system, similar to the AWACS of earth, though for space. The SE-11 is fully space and atmosphere capable, although unlike 'proper' AWACS aircraft, the crew of four (pilot, copilot and two technicians) are not responsible for 'operating' the SE-11, just to make sure it works.

The pilots of the other aircraft can receive the sensor 'pictures' from the SE-11 and they can then filter the picture according to their needs.

The SE-11 has a limited wormhole drive to remove it from danger should it be necessary as it is unarmed.
