Our airforce would like to purchase 24 Su-27 Flankers.

Total is $480 million.

Expect delivery done within 1 NS month after payment. Thank you.

OOC: 1000 posts! :D:P

IC: Adejaani would like to see the specifications of this technology, as well as buy examples of each for testing and evaluation.
Specifications are largely classified, but we could sell you our kits.

OOC: Congrats :P

OOC: Thanks. :P

IC: Do you mind if we reverse engineer them? Because a smaller aircraft built to military standards may prove more utility, combined with the new "Skycrane" modular aircraft system.....

We can assist you in developing your own versions, and possibly selling you the production license and plans for the systems, although we rather perfer even our ally to not reverse-engineer them. But we thank you for the concern and question.

Of course. We apologise for the "alarm". It has been the practice of Adejaani engineers and scientists to purchase technologies, reverse engineer them and possibly adapt them for our use.

So, we are submitting a tender proposal for the modification of a C-17 Globemaster III system. The C-17 is the aircraft of choice, despite its high cost, within the Adejaani Republic Air Force. Its good sized cargo hold, maneuverability, range and excellent STOL abilities makes it a good candidate.

Therefore, we request, the development of a C-17 conversion kit. We are willing to foot any and all costs necessary.

The Holy Republic of Sniper Country, in a strange show of good will towards the nation of Omz222, has decided that now be a good time to invest in OMASC Aerospace. With this, Sniper Country would like to purchase:

(96) A-6G Ultra Intruder ($3,840,000,000)
(72) B-1C Lancer ($15,840,000,000)

(120) MH-73 Night Owl ($4,200,000,000)

TOTAL: $23,880,000,000
Very good.

Because this is a small purchase, expect delivery finished within 1.5 NS months for the A-6G, and 2 NS months for the B-1C. The delivery of the MH-73 will probably take more time, the delivery for that will be done within another 2 NS months.

Delivery will commerce immediately after money has been wired.

Thank you.

=====================

Because the modernization of the manufacturing factories owned by OMASC, and the new automated equipments, within several months many aircrafts' prices, especially the old ones, will drop. the delivery time will also drop after a few months, especially for large orders.

Dear Omz. The C-17 conversion kit has proved an overwhelming success. We wish production rights to produce it domestically.

Dear Omz. The C-17 conversion kit has proved an overwhelming success. We wish production rights to produce it domestically.
Of course, as an owner of OMASC, you can get the production license and blueprints for the kits for the C-17, free.

However, it should be noted that this is not a production license for the technology, as this kind of technology can be found in other nations.

===========================

The price changes has begun. Various new aircraft, such as the F-14F and the A-6G, has their price dropped because of high demand by the Omzian AF. Older aircrafts' prices has also dropped, due to more efficent way of manufacturing and the use of new components. Some prices has also rised, due to low demand.

OFB-15 removed from inventory.

OMASC Target Drone: MQM-407 Super Streaker

OMASC has concluded that many nations neglect the importantance of target drone UAVs: such as the MQM-107 Streaker and the BQM-126. The MQM-107 Streaker has been serving in the Omzian Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines for many years as a target for testing of air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles. But, the MQM-107 demonstrated poor performance in the modern 2010-technology Omzian military.

OMASC, in a secret program called the "Future Advanced Target Drone Program", has developed the MQM-407 Super Streaker, a successor to the MQM-107. The MQM-407 is a supersonic, high performance, target drone. The MQM-407 is very similar to the MQM-107 in shape and apparance. It is powered by a Honjak Electrics MMH-005K turbojet with a rocket booster. It has a maximum speed of Mach 1.8 at high altitudes, Mach 1.6 at medium altitudes (1000-3000 ft), and Mach 1.4 at low altutides. The drone can be configured to fly low or high, and it can do sharp turns and dives. The MQM-407, like the MQM-107, is equipped with radar and countermeasures. It is a good high-performance target to test some of your nation's latest SAMs and AAMs.

The MQM-407 is only $380,000 each --- even cheaper than the MQM-107, which is approx. $400,000.

Due to an unknown security reason, Sniper Country has cancelled its order.
Understood. Since the productions are almost finished, they will put into storage --- until you change your mind, or someone else orders the same products.

We shall take Sniper Country's A-6G and B-1C aircraft for our reserve forces. Shouldn't let them go to waste.....

As well as two Super Streaker drones for evaluation.....

*dinero wired*

On a non-related news, the production rate for the F-14F series is BUMPED because of increased demand in the Omzian PLF Navy and Air Force Reserve.

By request, "land-ized" versions of the F-14F with modifications applied to be launched from runways is available, for $49 million.

Official report filed by Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc. C-77 Dasher

When the last Concorde type supersonic airliner was retired, transportation of civilians would be reduced to the speed of sound. As military and VIP transports were based on common civilian airliners, it seemed this would be the end of the story. But then, someone had the bright idea. Instead of adapting a civilian aircraft to military specifications, why not work it the other way around?

The Boeing C-40 "Clipper" provides the bulk of the Adejaani Republic Air Force's personnel transport and is based upon the 737. However, the aircraft is fairly slow and short ranged. Namely that multiple refuelling stops had to be carried out if the aircraft were to hop over several continents. With that in mind, a series of specifications were drawn. For an airframe of similar size and weight, yet could carry a similar amount of passengers yet was supersonic. Thus was born the C-77 "Dasher".

Based upon the B-1 Lancer, the swing wing made the aircraft much more maneuverable and readding the afterburners (which were not needed as a heavy bomber) and redesigning the interiors, the result was an airframe which could travel at Mach 1.5, have nearly double the range of the C-40 and could carry up to 80 passengers and ten crew, albeit without much luxury.

While the interior is decidedly cramped, a good payload and range as well as supersonic speeds reduces the distances between nations and makes this, as a fast transport, most ideal.

It should be noted there is a VIP variant, which reduces the passenger load to 30, but allows for small fold out beds and workstations, as well as slightly more comfort and is somewhat similar to the famous VC-25 "Air Force One", though supersonic, lacking the major conference facilities and more spartan. This VIP variant is nearly ideal for minor government officials who wish a speedy trip still in fair comfort.

The glass cockpits and self defense equipment is still standard (from the B-1)

The "people mover" version is the C-77A while the VIP variant is the C-77B. Both versions cost 40 million each.

We are sad to announce that due to the tensions with Sniper Country, OMASC's factories in Omzian Nation will be reserved for wartime production uses only. However, the 2 factories in Ell, and the factories in Adejaani are still open. Please consult Adejaani for any further orders.

Thank you.

Ok, Adejaani I'd like to place an order-

23 MiG-29C Fulcrams

That should cost me about 414,000,000.

Your order is confirmed. First deliveries will begin shortly.

is the B-2 Spirit the stealthbomber? If so, I would like to order 2 of them.
Is it possible for you to refit them, lowering their operational range and raising stealth-capacity ? Since I need them mostly to keep neihgbours in check, range is not needed.

Money will be sent upon confirmation of order, and additional payment will be granted for refitting, if that is possible.

Stormblod, Father of the Dominion

Hamstermums: The B-2 Spirit is indeed the Stealth Bomber. As for additional stealth capacity (publicly, at any rate), we cannot raise the stealth abilities any further. So you'd have to be more specific or commission us to begin studies to increase abilities.

Hello again...

The Ferrussian Air Force is in the process of reorganization. Along this course, we have found we have a massive need for the KC-10 Extender, as they are becoming the standard Wing Refueling aircraft. We may be coming back for more of your venerable aircraft later (most notably the A-6), as we are still in the process of this reorganization. However, for the time being, we'd like to order:

106x KC-10A Extender

Please inform us of the price (sorry, it's really late otherwise I'd do it) and money will be wired as soon as we make our next purchase. See you soon!

Thank you. This will likely be all for the Air Force expansion, but you can expect additional orders later, as the Navy is soon to be undergoing a similiar program, and will likely be in need of A-6s and the like.

New Project: Project 2247-AM (LPI AMRAAM Project)

In long times, Omzian pilots has complained how their AMRAAMs are quickly evaded by the enemy warplanes during BVR fighting. While ECCM features and increased resistance to jamming and ECM cools this problem a bit, it does not bring this problem into an end. However, OMASC in conjuction with Honjak Electrics and Omzian Air Force will be able to.

LPI-capable (Low Probability of Intercept) radars has long been successful at cloaking the radar waves emitted by them, ever since LPI-capable radars are installed on Omzian F/A-22Cs, F-24ALs, F-14Fs, F/A-18IEs, F/A-160s, and various other combat aircraft. LPI radars are often capable of preventing radar waves from showing up on the enemy aircraft's RWR (Radar Warning Receiver). But, the AMRAAM is still emitting radar wave that can be detected fairly easily, aside from its high vulnverability to ECM.

The LPI AMRAAM, yet still hasn't officially designated, is a new-generation upgrade for the AIM-120C AMRAAM. Based on the new AIM-120C-7 (P3I Phase 3), the LPI AMRAAM will feature the following:

-Improved AESA seeker, which is LPI capable. Coupled with an improved ECCM system with excellent jamming detection. This means not only the new AMRAAM will be more "undetectable" by enemy RWRs and MLWS (Missile Launch Warning System), it will be more immune to enemy tactical radar jammers;
-Longer seeker and engagement range, boosting up the range from approximately 70km to 82km. In a special "Flood" firing mode similar to the AIM-7 "Flood" firing mode (in which the seeker locks on to the target), the range has also been increased by 2 kilometers;
-An improved, more durable rocket motor engine, featuring solid fuel. The new motor will not only boost the speed up to Mach 4.2, but will also feature less heat, and more resistance to rust and cracks.
-A 52lb warhead, but a lighter frame and advanced manufacturing procedures makes it 3.6lb lighter than the AIM-120C.

The prototype, Block 0.1, has already been rollled off the production plant. Tests against combat-like target drones will be commercing soon.

Actually, we went the other way and put data links in modified Sparrows and used AWACs radars to guide them in, such that the launching aircraft is just that. AWACs can't be jammed easily and you can't shut it down unless you shoot it down. That was my brainwave of the day. You can't jam radar emissions of that magnitude.

Of course, we are also aware of the datalink method, plus an "IR backup seeker" method. However, we feel that it could be too complex and unneeded for the entire stock of AMRAAM missiles, which are on rserve. But we will take our business partner's advice in our minds.

Other developments of the LPI AMRAAM, including LPI HUMRAAM, SLAMRAAM, and new custom "SHLAMRAAM (SHip-Launched AMRAAM -- replacement of Sea Sparrow and complement to ESSM) are rumored outside of OMASC, but we cannot confirm or deny this information.

Also, it is rumored that the new missile, once finished production, will only be available for "selected" countries because of security reasons. But again, we cannot confirm or deny this claim.

But the problem with, anything with an internal "active" seeker head can be spoofed. In addition to chaff and flare systems (which counter things like AMRAAM and Sidewinder respectively), Adejaani is beginning work on a new light laser system, which doesn't destroy the incoming enemy missiles, it just "blinds" the seeker. So we went back to the other side of the coin and wondered what can't be jammed and what can't be jammed is a huge honking AWACs radar.....

The Empire of NouvelleTerre would like to order:

100 Mig 29 SMT
50 Mig 35

Total cost comes to: 5,050,000,000 US Dollars

So we went back to the other side of the coin and wondered what can't be jammed and what can't be jammed is a huge honking AWACs radar.....
While we are fully aware of this, we must note that in "tactical" situations where AWACS access is denied, the only method for BVR fighting for a plane armed with the normal load of LPI AMRAAM and Sidewinder (X variant) is of coruse, LPI AMRAAM with active homing. Even when AWACS is available, sometimes the estabilishment of a data link could take much hassle.

But, overall we'd admit that most missile could be fooled anyways.

Announcement by the OMASC Management Board

Seeing great loss of sales, many "common-licensed" (OOC: RL that is) combat aircraft and aircraft with lowest demands, such as Eurofighter Typhoon and F/A-22A Raptor, has been offically taken off the catalog of what OMASC exports. All Soviet Bloc aircraft has been taken off. As OMASC needs more space to produce Adejaani and Omzian-developed aircraft products, these "common-licensed" aircraft, especially those already obsolete by today's standards, has no place in OMASC's production lines.

Furthermore, although the Adejaani portion of OMASC will probably have their opinion either against this or support this, mich tighter regulations on exporting aircraft products has been set, especially since some incidents when customers has attempted to reverse-engineer OMASC aircraft (although most are "common-licensed"). Older items, such as the Quickstrike Tomcat and Super Intruder, and less "security significant" "non-combat" aircraft, such as tankers and transports, are still open to various nations, more "important" ones however, such as the Tomcat II and the Lancer C, has been restricted to "selected countries". That is, countries approved by OMASC, or/and allies, friends, and trading partners of Omz222 and Adejaani.

************************

Update from LPI AMRAAM Production Boards

The LPI AMRAAM project, suffering from significant price issues especially with the guidance systems, continues with good success technologically. The first prototype, named YAIM-120N, is being tested against combat targets, and evaluated via various simulations against "hostile aircraft", with success. The project is scheduled to continue, although demands from the Army, Navy, and Air Force and costs has been setting back the project.

The LPI AMRAAM is to be launched from AMRAAM-compatible aircraft with appropriate multi-mode radars, including F/A-22A Raptor, F-16C Fighting Falcon (Block 60), and upgraded F-14F Tomcat. The LPI AMRAAM is also to be produced as LPI HUMRAAM (Export Marine/Omzian Army and Marines replacement for Hawk/HUMRAAM-A systems), SLAMRAAM (Export Army medium-range air defence systems), and a proposed ship-based AMRAAM (to be launched via rail/box launchers or standard VLS).

Press release by Doctor Marianne Brooks, Adejaani Aerospace Inc

Low rate production of the F/A-22 Raptor for Adejaani domestic consumption shall continue for the forseable future, as this airframe remains the primary component of the Adejaani Air National Guard. Spares and replacement through attrition and losses will be built, though for export, the price shall be a fair bit steeper.

Adejaani continues to stand by its longtime ally and close friends in the Omzian republic, and will continue to lend its aid and support, to allow our two countries to continue to push the development of aerospace technology above and beyond.

Update from LPI AMRAAM Production Boards

The LPI AMRAAM project, now named "AMRAAM 2005 Upgrade", has been going exceptionally well, with the second prototype completing tests successfully. LPI AMRAAM has scored a hit rate of approximately 90-100% against unprotected high-performance targets, a "superb" performance against high-performace targets employing EO/Radar jammers (chaff/flare/tactical radar jammer), and a "reasonable" performace against targets employing both evasive countermeasures and manuvers. Exact data are unavailable to the public.

AMRAAM 2005 will be designated AIM-120N, and will be compatible with virtually all aircraft capable of employing the AIM-120A/B/C versions. Designed to counter modern, high-performace air-to-air missiles such as the R-77/A-12 and AIM-120A/B/C, it will be available to "significant" military trading partners and allies of Omz222. It is scheduled to enter service in the Omzian Navy/Marine Corps Aviation, Army Aviation Brigades, and National Air Guard reserve units within "a few months".

========================

Another project, the "Lightweight Anti-Watercraft Missile" has been approved by OMASC. More information coming soon.

OOC: Just a few steps to "de-storefront-ize" OMASC for the sake of RPing :D Also a new design of the front page!

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM OMASC
Lightweight Anti-Ship (Formly Watercraft) Missile

Omzian Military Aerospace Corporation is now working with Honjak Electrics and Omzian Rocket Research Academy to begin and initate the Lightweight Anti-Ship Missile, a new low-cost, high-survivability, and high-performace missile designed to engage small naval targets such as corvettes & light frigates, missile boats, fast attack craft, coastal patrol craft, or other small watercraft.

Omzian Navy and Omzian Air Fore has long needed a low-cost anti-ship missile to engage small targets, with the Harpoon being just too expensive, with the Maverick too unreliable, and with the Hellfire and Penguin being too limited. Similar to the Chinese Ying Ji-7/C-701, this missile features multi-platform launch methods, effective but small warhead, reliable guidance, and a reasonable range.

As it is still in the planning stage, the requirements are as follows, placed by the Omzian Navy:

1) Launch platforms must be fast attack watercraft, naval helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, and possibly larger ships (multiple missiles in single VLS cell) and land-based mobile truck launchers
2) Weight must not exceed 110kg, must be more than 80kg
3) Warhead must be capable of semi-armor piercing with time delay, with a minimal weight of 22kg HE, and with a maximum weight of 35kg HE.
4) Maximum speed must be minimally 0.75 Mach, with flight altitude no more than 15m
5) Minimum range must not exceed 0.6km, Maximum range must be at least 18km
6) Guidance mode will be TV (EO) guidance, with possible milllimeter wave radar or IR in consideration.
7) Propulsion perferbably solid propellant, must be high-flammable once hitting target.
8] Cost must be no less than $220,000 USD.

Announacement from OMASC

The AMRAAM 2005 project has concluded with full success. The product has been approved to be EXPORTED TO APPROVED CUSTOMERS, or allies and traduing partners of Omz222. The missile is now on low-rate production. Production license, along with techinal assistance will be granted on request to close allies and selected customers.

The product has been offically named AIM-120N AMRAAM (Export)/AAM-5B (OHDF).

Unfortunately, the plans for ground AMRAAM 2005s are abandoned. Further work on this will be unlikely.

============================

Update from Lightweight Anti-Ship Missile (LWASM) Production Boards

The project has been going well, with the project designated A/RGM-314A Seahorse (Export)/ASM-12A (OHDF). It is proposed that the missile would be launched from modified Omzian Wyvern and Hydra class fast attack stealth watercraft, plus Omzian MH-60 and SH-60 naval helicopters. It is also proposed that up to 2 or 4 of these missiles can be fitted in a VLS cell, but this is unneeded for any large ship. A "multiple munitions rack (MMR)" will be also designed to be mounted on fixed-wing aircraft, with one rack carrying 3 missiles. It may also be launched from specialized "rail launchers".

The missile will feature inertal guidance with Electro-Optical aid at terminal phase.

=============================

OMASC has also announced the F-14F TOMCAT II IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, a series of programs to improve the F-14F Tomcat avionics-wise, weapons-wise, and aerodynamic designs-wise. More on this will come soon, along with a possible offical announcement of the "Phoenix Replacement Program".

IC:

Although the Adejaani -C model is not to be confused with the Clan Smoke Jaguar -C model (currently in Omzian service as [O]F/A-22C[L]), we are more than willing to contribute to this project as much as we can, and to make this program available for foreign military sales and exports. The major Omzian subcontractors under the now half-state-owned OMASC, Honjak Electrics and Planasan (formly Honjak Electrics Detection Systems) are willing to develop propulsion systems and electrical sensors for the Adejaani F/A-22. This includes turbofan engines, radar warning and missile warning systems, radar systems, EO/[FL]IR navigational/targeting sensors, and weapon management systems. Honjak Electrics is also experienced at the design of cockpit interface systems, and is also willing to contribute to that area.

Memorandum from AGI

Adejaani Government Industries Thanks OMASC for its participation and has changed the designation of the aircraft to "D", making it the F/A-22D "Strike Raptor".

Memorandum from AGI

Adejaani Government Industries Thanks OMASC for its participation and has changed the designation of the aircraft to "D", making it the F/A-22D "Strike Raptor".

As with that, we are willing to also produce a 2-seat trainer version of the F/A-22D although the previous plan is to integrate "D" into the trainer version (as with F-15C/D, F-16C/D, F/A-22B), we'd suggest AGI to designate it to be TF-22D.

As this seems to be a strike version of the Raptor, we also highly recommend to have 2 seats for this particular strike version of the Raptor (as with others like F-15E, F-111, Tornado) to allow reduced workload, greater flexibility, and the full integration and use of LANTIRN pod, plus other recon devices.

For a Strike aircraft, Planasan offers a varity models of radars for different uses, or better, a fully-compatible "modular" radar -- that can be installed on many aircraft with little airframe modification especially on the nose.

Memorandum from AGI

The currently F/A-22D "Strike Raptor" is still being designed and its requirements being assessed. As such, the current constraints as per adding a second seat is performance, range, armaments, weight etc. However, the addition of a "permanent" second seat to the Strike Raptor would greatly simplify costs and only slight modifications to turn it into an operational trainer (mostly in the form of additional safety procedures built into the flight control software).

Although the use of a targeting pod like the AAQ-14 LANTIRN system would be a necessity, AGI has successfully tested an alternative. By modifying the internal radar, plus guidance warheads on various Precision Guided Missiles, the LANTIRN can be omitted, with the radar taking over the functions. In essence, the radar does the designation and the guided weapon follows that particular radar beam, much like the AIM-7 Sparrow missile, though applied to a guided weapon. Such a technique could theoretically allow for the deployment of all guided weapons at the same time.

However, it is also possible for a LANTIRN type system to be modified to sit flush with the hull, in addition to a forward looking reconnaisance pod, both of which are hidden behind fast open panels. This would maintain the necessary stealth profiles while keeping those facilities within the aircraft, giving it a much wider range of roles. The main constraint is, once again, whether or not the aircraft could handle such devices whilst maintaining adequate performance.

Again, it should be stressed that the "D" model F/A-22 is a program and will continue to be looked at for some time to come.

Press release from AGI, the F/A-22D Heavy Raptor

Adejaani Government Industries first began this program to breathe new life into the F/A-22A Raptor, which had been bought in massive numbers for the Adejaani Republic Air Force, not only for front line units, but to replace older aircraft within the Air National Guard. Although there are numerous products designed to outfly and outfight the F/A-22 line, nevertheless, it was a modern and capable aircraft, stealthy characteristics and affordable.

The program began with a modest goal: enlarge the "A" model's fuselage, as well as fit more advanced radar, avionics and larger weapons bay, to not only fit more weapons, but also more advanced and capable weapons. However, requirements grew and AGI found itself in a bind.

An "air superiority" machine must be quick and agile, to deliver its air to air arsenal effectively, but found its air to ground arsenal limited. Similarly, a "strike fighter" machine was burdened by heavy targetting pods, electronic jamming equipment against enemy radars and a much heavier weapons loadout, often being outmaneuvered by faster, lighter fighters.

AGI tried to solve this problem by creating two aircraft: a dual seat Strike Fighter; and a single seat Air Superiority Fighter. This was quickly vetoed, as buying two versions of essentially the same aircraft, for two different sets of missions, would mean more scarce currency for buying.

The solution as offered by AGI is, in fact, modularity. The airframe, cockpit and crew support is the same, but there are two packages:

• Air to ground mapping, multi mode radar; LANTIRN targetting pod (optional); heavier weapons carriage for carrying heavy air to ground munitions; engines modified for lifting heavier loads at the expense of speed. The end result is a Strike Fighter
• Air to air high resolution radar with NCTR capabilities; Digital TARPs type reconnaisance pod (optional); lighter weapons carriage for carrying lighter air to air missiles; engines modified for higher speed. The end result is an Air Superiority Fighter

In this fashion, by opening access panels and swapping out the radar, weapons carriage and engines, one airframe can be tailored for two type-mission specific aircraft, which is quite a bargain! The downside, of course, is buying two sets of radar, weapons carriages and engines, but it would be much cheaper than buying a second full aircraft, at any rate!

Additionally, the F/A-22D Heavy Raptor can, as already noted, carry a reconnaisance pod. Other modular pods such as the ALQ-99 jammer pods or specialised mission specific pods can be carried externally, at the cost of non stealthiness.

The biggest changes to the original F/A-22 Raptor is that it is now a dual seat aircraft, with a fifteen percent larger fuselage and access bays to completely remove and change the radar, weapons carriages and engines.

Price is at present, undecided, however, considering the Adejaani Air Force contracting internally for almost four hundred aircraft, expect the F/A-22D Heavy Raptor to literally fly off the showroom floor at bargain rates!

OOC: Sorry for the lack of response lately.

Omzian Military Aerospace Corporation News

OMASC LIGHTWEIGHT ANTI-SHIP MISSILE PROGRAM (PROJECT s1114.1/A/RGM-314 Seahorse) CANCELLED

WAYAN, OMASC HEADQUARTERS, THURSDAY -- Facing long criticism by the government, the Military Administration, and the opponents within OMASC, plus decreased interest on the project by the navy, this problem-stricken "joint" project has been terminated by the Omzian Navy and Marine Corps, Omzian Air Force, and OMASC. With the termination of funding for this project just weeks ago, the project has been scrapped mainly due to "financial reasons".

"It is a tragedy that this project has been cancelled," Omzian Air Force spokeswoman Major Sandra Long commented in a news briefing. "But, as said, the project boards cannot continue this project, as the government already refused to provide more funds, which will lead to the military to provide funds themselves. Plus, this missile would be too expensive for us to use, even more expensive than the Penguin missile altogether. With this, along with techanical problems, we could say goodbye to the Seahorse. "

The production boards managers have said that this project also suffered reliably problems, as only 2 prototype missiles out of 4 have hit their target in tests. Problems with the structure also continued throughout the program.

It is uncertain whether OMASC will revive this program, or whether another lightweight antishipping missile will be developed. With this, upgraded Penguin anti-ship missiles will continue service through the forseenable future.

OMASC BOARDS ANNOUNCES TWO NEW MORE PROJECTS, DELAYS TOMCAT II IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

WAYAN -- OMASC today has announced two new projects responding to threats of high-flying, stealthy, and supersonic aircraft. These 2 projects, which was previously secret, has already gone to the planning stage.

The first program is said to be the NEW INTERCEPTOR PROGRAM, in which the new product will complement the F-24L Interceptors in Omzian AF Reserve National Air Defence Command. Designed to be a stealthy, powerful (in terms of speed, altitude, range and fuel, avionics, and load and weaponeries), this aircraft is a new generation interceptor, similar to the ESA F-24 and perhaps the Mikoyan MiG-31 in concept. The roles will include high-altitude air patrol against high-performace targets, interception against high-performace targets, and possibly even long-range escort and patrol. A reconnaissance version is also being planned. However, it should be noted that this is not a dogfighter, nor a high-performance, regular air superiority fighter aircraft. The aircraft will enter service in the Omzian Air Force (NADC) and Omzian Joint Air Defence Command, at numbers of approximately 200 to 300.

The second aircraft is said to be a high-altitude, stealthy bomber aircraft, much similar to the XB-70/T-60S in concept of a bomber, and the SR-71 in concept as a reconissance jet. As with the NEW INTERCEPTOR PROGRAM, it has been under secret development for a long time before this announcement, already reaching the end of research stage. Said to be similar to the XB-70 in shape and appearance, it boasts various stealth technologies. The estimated load however, is rumored to be between 18,000lb to 32,000lb, and is powered either by turbofan or ramjets, with turbofan being much more stable and reliable. The aircraft will enter service in the Omzian Air Force within a "reasonable time", numbering about 8 to 10 to complement the B-2As.

As with these 2 projects, specifications will be released soon. It is also said that 2 new sub-projects are starting to complement these 2 projects, one being a long-raneg air-to-air missile, another being a long-range, strategic cruise missile.

The Tomcat II program however, is being delayed mainly due to budget cuts, and other reasons by the government. However, it does not mean that it is cancelled, and it is far from that.

============

The Omzian Air Force, receiving the news about the F/A-22D, is highly interested in the articular program, as it has fond the Heavy Raptor to eb a highly capable aircraft complementing the F-15E and serve as an interm solution of the F/B-22. Although it may seems that AGI has already added new electronics themselves -- which, highly satisfied the Omzian Air Force -- the Omzian Air Force may propose its own variant of the F/A-22D, if applicatable (rumored to be F/A-22DO).

OMASC Unveils AGM-122C Sidearm Turbo
A Joint Venture of OMASC and Honjak Electrics
New Platforms and Munitions for the New Horizon

After a year of non-secret but undisclosed development, OMASC with assistance and requirements from OHDF Air Force Ordance Labs, has unveiled a new generation of low cost suppression of air defence solution: the AGM-122C Sidearm Turbo.

The AGM-122A Sidearm (http://designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-122.html) (SIDEwinder Anti-Radiation Missile) origionally was a conversion of the stockpiled and retired SARH AIM-9C Sidewinder, employing a broad band seeker for passive guidance (instead of the narrow band seeker), and a new fuze. The new conversion, although has a much inferior performance when compared to the high-performace HARM, is a cost-effective and light solution to destroy low-tech threats (such as radar-guided low altitude defence systems).

The answer to this? The AGM-122C Sidearm Turbo. This new missile continues to boast a low-cost and effectiveness against various "low-tech" and "tactical air defence" threats, while giving the missile a much higher effectiveness and cost-to-hit-rate ratio. This is possible with a new set of broadband seeker with high-performance EPROM memory board sets and a powerful singal processor, greatly increasing performance. Aside from that, using technologies from previous experienced also allowed this missile to have a "home-on-jam" capability (against ground-based radar, communications jammers, and in some cases GPS jammers). However, an option for a MMW active radar seeker and a GPS antenna has been turned down, primarily because of complexity, size, and cost.

Aside from this, the AGM-122C may look like the same, but it is essentially a new missile when being looked closer. The length, width, and weight has been expanded to allow more fuel and a longer range and speed, boasting a slight speed increase from Mach 2.3, and a rang increase from 16.5km to a 20.7km. The warhead has also been increased, from 25lbs.

The AGM-122C does not require any high-tech and specific targeting pods, unlike the HARM, and works with the current generation of RWR. However, a modification of the electronical systems of the firing aircraft is required to fully expand the missile's possibilities.

The AGM-122C has been cleared for general export.

Specifications:

Missile Length: 2.91m
Missile Diameter: 14.6cm
Weight: 95.8kg (211.2lbs)
Speed: Mach 2.49
Range: 20.7km

Official Proposal by the Ferrussian Navy

Noting the great versatility of the F-14D Tomcat in carrier operations, the Ferryssian Navy, in an effort to bring the capabilities of Carrier Battle Groups up to exceed modern standards in naval aviation, would like to propose a program to replace the 168 F-14D Tomcats in operation on Ferrussian carriers with the OMASC/AGI-made F-14F Tomcat II. It is hoped that the Tri-State alliance can instill enough trust between OMASC/AGI and the Ferrussian Navy to allow such a transaction to occur, and we would be quite satisfied if OMASC/AGI agreed to buy the Navy's current F-14Ds in a "swap-out" deal.

The F-14Ds are in good condition and entered service relatively recently. 48 of the aircraft are currently being deployed to Omz to participate in Ferrussian defense of Omz, and would not be avaliable for transfer in the near future. If any losses are sustained in the conflict, the remaining F-14Fs would be bought outright rather than swapped. Aside from this matter, however, a program to immediately begin trading current air wings 24 planes at a time would be highly beneficial to our needs.

If such a program is possible, please inform us as soon as possible. We thank OMASC/AGI for their cooperation in this matter, and look forward to satisfying other needs in naval aviation with you in the future.


Approved by:

Markov Lumchensky
Secretary of Defense

President Mikhail Alexandrovich Yavlinsky
President of the People's Republic of Ferrussia
Commander-in-Chief of Ferrussian Armed Forces

The OMASC boards, having reviewed this request, are eager to settle this deal with the Ferrussian Defence agencies and ministries, as the government encourages military arms trade between the Tri-State Alliance counteries.

As being understood, we are aware that the Ferrussian Navy is in great need of these technologies, but because of OMASC factories system's devotion to production for wartime uses now, we must request Adejaani factories and the 2 Omzian factories overseas (at Ell) to fill out the orders, which may delay the delivering process somehow. But we trust our AGI counterparts.

As with this, we are also willing to provide necessary spare parts, repair and testing equipment, maintance documentations, munitions (for air-to-air uses), and electronic systems with the F-14Fs as a package deal. This will include a total of 410 AIM-9X Sidewinder, 300 AIM-120N AMRAAM 2005 (plus ATM-120 training variant), and 270 AIM-54C Pheonix missiles. We are also willing to provide up to 42 Digital TARPS recon pods, plus 28 LANTIRN "2000" pods. With that, we also offer 200 of our new AGM-122C Sidearm Turbo as part of the package.

With trade ins, this all totals up to:
Basic cost for F-14F (Assembly at OMASC factories): $7,392,000,000 ($44 million each at special price)
Deduction cost for trade-in F-14D: $4,704,000,000
Total cost for F-14Fs: $2,688,000,000
Munitions Costs: Excluded
Electronic System Costs: $28,000,000
Parts and Equipments Cost: Excluded
OMASC Support Cost: Excluded
Productions Cost: Excluded
Delivery Cost: Excluded
Other Cost: $30,000,000
Total Cost: $2,746,000,000 USD.

We await for the Ferrussian ministry's response.

The Ferrussian Navy is quite satisfied with these terms, and completely understands the difficulty in wartime export production. We look forward to the first batch of 24, and will pay the $2.716 billion up-front as a gesture of goodwill. Your generous addition of the weapons systems is greatly appreciated, and the more advanced systems will be tested and evaluated for possible future Navy use. The other additions are also greatly appreciated - a confirmation of the excellent service we suspected you had. Please inform us as soon as possible of the approximate arrival times for various batches - we are quite flexible in this area, but we do need to know when they will arrive.

Our best wishes to you and the people of Omz, as well as Adejaani.

Although AGI is presently fulfilling internal orders for domestic (Adejaani) use, confidence is high the large Ferrussian order will be completed on time.

Further, in light of this deal, Adejaani extends an offer to Ferrussia to open up an embassy, and begin talks to strengthen ties between our countries.

We certainly appreciate your willingness to accomidate our request in a timely manner. As for diplomatic relations, Ferrussia would most certainly be interested in commencing negotiations of some kind, and an exchange of ambassadors would be prudent. We are quite welcome to Adejaani as a friend and perhaps ally, particularly given your close status with our ally, Omz.

(OOC: I hold most of my diplomatic stuff in this (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=94743) thread; I would suggest posting there so we can begin negotiations and/or an exchange of ambassadors ICly.)

As much as the OMASC Export management boards found this frightening, and have rejected the payment for now, OMASC offers an alternative: ordering the said products in batches of a few thousands (which will eventually amount to the initally ordered number), as OMASC factories and export boards are reluctant to begin a sale of such huge amount, even for air-to-air missiles and low-cost anti-radiation missiles. Even for a known customer of OMASC, we feel it is unneeded to get such a high amount of missiles currently. Such orders would also perhaps cause fatigue and aging on the missiles later-on, plus a slower actual manufacturing and delivery time, although it will certainly help lower the cost a bit. This would result in a special long-term supplying contract, with additional technical support for the weapon systems.

As of right now, we could offer "bulk exports" for the requested missiles at batches of 5000, which could amount to $2,300,000,000 (for AMRAAM 2005) and $890,000,000 (for Sidearm Turbo) each batch, or $46,000,000,000 and $17,800,000,000 in total (20 batches). There's no need to fear the high costs however, as various costs would "decrease" the costs for each batch in millions.

For production license and technical documentations however, we feel it is unneeded for domestic production if a long-term supplying contract could be already underway. If Chief Commander General Vox accept however, we would be willing to provide production license with a small order of below 800 missiles (for each). The production license would cost $30,000,000 for the AMRAAM 2005 and $35,000,000 for the Sidearm Turbo (Due to various costs) plus various support fees (which could cost thousands to a few million in the long-term throughout the support process), as a domestic production contract. This would include full licensing of domestic production of origional product, techanical documentation concerning with the technology, guidance in production of these missile, guidance in setting up missile production facilities, and other support services.

We await for a reply. Once again, it has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to conduct business again with the Armed Forces of Trinium.

Please inform us as soon as possible of the approximate arrival times for various batches - we are quite flexible in this area, but we do need to know when they will arrive.

Our best wishes to you and the people of Omz, as well as Adejaani.
Very well. After a brief review, OMASC has approved the sale on a final notice, and is now beginning production, and informing the beginning of production to the AGI production facilities. Estimated delivery time, in batches of 21 (8 batches), will be one batch per 3 weeks after manufacturing and testing, for a total of about 5 months. The munitions and parts however, will be delivered in batches of 2: first batch with the first batch of the F-14F systems, and the second batch with the third batch of F-14F systems. These aircraft will fly directly to a desired Ferrussian location via secure routes at northern areas.

We will however, accept the F-14Ds intact or partly disassembled.

It has certainly been a great experience in selling military arms to Ferrussian Armed Forces again, and that we wish Adejaani and Ferrussia good luck in their effort to get closer.

OMASC Announces 2 New Variants of Popular Aircraft: EB-52W and RF-16D
Striving for Excellence. For the Future. For OHDF and allies' lead in technology.

EB-52W "Big Weasel": A New Electric Warfare Platform on a Reliable Airframe

Throughout the years, OHDF and Omzian Aerospace Industries (OAI -- before merged with ESAA RL Aircraft Inc. to form OMASC) has been investigating a possible use of the B-52 Stratofortress bomber. The airframe of the B-52 is reliable, can endure long flight hours without failure, and is combat proven with little maintance problems. The capability of the B-52 however, can be expanded vastly, with an example being Omzian ally Clan Smoke Jaguar's CSJMI MB-52I/K Megafortress, which is already combat proven. However, the OMASC Boards, in conjunction with OHDF assistance and research, has came up with an overhaul -- not only an upgrade -- for the B-52 aircraft. That is, the EB-52W Big Weasel standoff air defence attack and electric jamming aircraft -- to complement with the existing F-4G Wild Weasel and EF-35A Blazer in OHDF-AF service.

The EB-52W's roles in OHDF is to primarily complement the Air Force EF-35A, and the Navy's EF-35B/C Blazer and EF-18G Growler jamming and radar attack aircraft. However, in foreign examples, it could serve as an interm, high-load solution for fast-moving EF-111 Raven and EF-18G Growlers, and the slower-moving naval EA-6B Prowlers. The EB-52W is fully capable of jamming of enemy radar and radio communication channels both for radar defeating purposes and to provide cover for strike packages at long ranges, and to unleash a massive load for attacking enemy radars at standoff or even strategic ranges. It features a greatly upgraded ALQ-161A defensive jammer system taken from the B-1B Lancer (called ALQ-161B or Noran EL-2237JT-A jammer; mounted at the rear and the wings/under fuel tanks of the aircraft as pods) featuring greater offensive attacking capabilities, processing power, automation, greater threat classification capabilities, and greater "threat and surroundering evaluation" capabilities (which will increase a bit more "stealth", in which the jammer knows when it is dangerous to use the jammer). it is also linked to other components of the complex radar jamming platform, including an optimized navigational system and radar warning receiver. The navigational sensor and RWR (which will identify a large variety of targets and classify them accordingly and carefully) together, will provide real-time battlefield information of location of radar signal emitters and radars. Added with an extensive communication system, it will transfer these real-time informations to desired destination through secure routes, providing an effective electrical link. The OHDF version also employs several proprietary system for its own uses, which includes custom electrical links.

The EB-52W can also optionally mount other communication systems. It has an Omzian Noran Systems (Part of OMASC, formly part of Honjak Electrics) Tonobran 2202 Plus modular radar (TPR-2202), which features various air-to-air, ground and sea search, surface apeture and mapping, plus other modes. The OHDF variant however, has a more advanced TPR-2202N model.

For payload however, it can carry an amazing amount of anti-radiation weapons: a maximum of 34 AGM-88E HARM (aka Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile) missiles in internal bomb bays, or 28 AGM-136 Tacit Rainbow missile/anti-radiation drones both internally and externally (on racks placed under wings). The EB-52 still however, have the capability to carry free-fall bombs and cluster munitions, plus percision munitions, but it has been stripped of nuclear wepaon capabilities, and it is unable to carry the Sidearm Turbo.

Aside from these features, it has an upgraded engines set, featuring higher performance, smaller IR signature, and some "enviromental-friendly" features, including an more economic operation cost. Also, the application and substitute of older parts using stealthy and aerodymanic surfaces, including a SST-style nose, has been added along with the application of the new Omzian Air Force Weapons Labs "Iron Curtain" RAM, to greatly reduce radar signatures and detection range by hostile aircraft and radar systems.

It is available for allies and military arms trading partners of Omzian Nation, plus other "approved" nations.

====================================

RF-16D Falcon: Viper with an Eagle's Eye

With the long retirement of "tactical" recon platforms, including the RF-4, OHDF has looked at various options, including a variant of the now-retired ESA F/B-2000 bomber, and even the naval F-14F equipped with TARPS. But as they've all been turned down, OHDF has looked at a light, reliable platform, and an answer came: the F-16C/D Fighting Falcon.

The RF-16D is a modified 2-seater F-16D Block 60, designed for reconissance duties, with great communication capabilities. While its M61A1 20mm gun were kept, the 6 stations -- plus some internal space -- were replaced with various recon equipments, with 2 wingtip and the 2 outer hardpoints being able to carry air-to-air missiles (for self defence) or various light weapons (missiles and bombs).

The RF-16D's main pair of eyes is the set of a "TARPS Plus" pod plus a heavily optimized LANTIRN pod. The TARPS Plus, a radically upgraded TARPS pod, designed for high-quality, digital photographic photo capturing, with increased resolution and improved datalink. The modified LANTIRN, known as the LANTIRN-R, is optimized to provide night surveillance through its nightvision, and to lock onto targets (to analyze" them. As usual, the pod can provide laser illumentation for strike aircraft with laser-guided weapons, and the LANTIRN pod can also transfer targeting data for various targets it found through datalink to other aircraft (and even ground units).

The RF-16D also features other "eyes" -- including an unique advanced IR/EO sight designed for ground surveillance and a set of panoramic cameras, for improved sight. All this is linked by an extensive datalinking and navigational system, being able to provide high-quality, digital battlefield information around-the-clock to ground, air, and naval forces, also thanking the Electrical-Optical Systems Officer onboard.

Aside from the RF-16D's "spying" capabilities, it also features a low-cost but advanced Noran Tonobran 1020R multi-purpose radar, slightly improving. the radar features "popular" modes including RWS (Range Wile Search) and TWS (Track While Scan), plus Situational Awareness Mode (SAM), Assessment Mode (TASM), and various "close-in" air combat modes. For air-to-ground, it offers a specialized high-resolution mapping mode (SAR) optimized for reconissance duties, plus sea search modes. Aside from radar, it features an advanced IRST system, plus advanced navigational systems (in a redesigned glass cockpit). The flight control system is greatly enhanced by an all-new flight-by-optic system, and coupled with a modified HEK-102 turbofan engine (which is the same one that powers the F-14F Tomcat II), it creates great agility for the RF-16D. Lastly, it features the extended internal fuel tank (on the Block 60), plus the capability to mount external fuel tanks on stations 2 & 8.

The RF-16D can also mount an ALQ-131 self-protection jammerp od (or equivalent) if necessary, but that isn't necessary.

damn, seems most of the storefronts are doing bad business these days...

The Allied States Of Trinium would like to require:

AIM-120N "AMRAAM 2005: 100,000
AGM-122C Sidearm Turbo : 100,000

Is it possible to get production rights? if not ill just take the order above

thank you for you time

*Money Wired*


As much as the OMASC Export management boards found this frightening, and have rejected the payment for now, OMASC offers an alternative: ordering the said products in batches of a few thousands (which will eventually amount to the initally ordered number), as OMASC factories and export boards are reluctant to begin a sale of such huge amount, even for air-to-air missiles and low-cost anti-radiation missiles. Even for a known customer of OMASC, we feel it is unneeded to get such a high amount of missiles currently. Such orders would also perhaps cause fatigue and aging on the missiles later-on, plus a slower actual manufacturing and delivery time, although it will certainly help lower the cost a bit. This would result in a special long-term supplying contract, with additional technical support for the weapon systems.

As of right now, we could offer "bulk exports" for the requested missiles at batches of 5000, which could amount to $2,300,000,000 (for AMRAAM 2005) and $890,000,000 (for Sidearm Turbo) each batch, or $46,000,000,000 and $17,800,000,000 in total (20 batches). There's no need to fear the high costs however, as various costs would "decrease" the costs for each batch in millions.

For production license and technical documentations however, we feel it is unneeded for domestic production if a long-term supplying contract could be already underway. If Chief Commander General Vox accept however, we would be willing to provide production license with a small order of below 800 missiles (for each). The production license would cost $30,000,000 for the AMRAAM 2005 and $35,000,000 for the Sidearm Turbo (Due to various costs) plus various support fees (which could cost thousands to a few million in the long-term throughout the support process), as a domestic production contract. This would include full licensing of domestic production of origional product, techanical documentation concerning with the technology, guidance in production of these missile, guidance in setting up missile production facilities, and other support services.

We await for a reply. Once again, it has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to conduct business again with the Armed Forces of Trinium.

OMASC Announces News About High-Speed Interceptor Program (HSIP): F-125 Rapier in Production
New Platforms and Munitions for a New Horizon

State-owned company OMASC has finally announced the completion of the development process of the F-125 Rapier. The project, designated as the F-125, is a high-speed, high-altitude fighter-interceptor aircraft that is designed to intercept fast-flying enemy bombers and reconissance aircraft, plus other high-value targets. Looking like a hybrid from the F-108 Rapier and MiG-31 aircraft, the F-125 features two engines and vertical stabilizers, plus a delta-trapezoid wing and a total of three internal weapons bays (two side bays and one center bay), plus another four possible hardpoints. Once in high-rate production, the F-125 will replace the existing Ellan F-24 in a number of 200 to 300 units across active and reserve fighter-interceptor squadrons to complement the existing F/A-22Cs, F-15Es, and United Elias EA(F/A)-160-mades (soon Clan Smoke Jaguar F-28s).

Core Design

The F-125 Rapier is a hybrid of the F-108, MiG-31, and F/A-22A designs, featuring a trapezoid-like delta wing and two side intakes. The airframe is composed of mostly titanium and aluminum alloys, plus other materials such as Steel, various composites, and some ceramics. The airframe is designed for durability, reliability, and high performance in both high subsonic and supersonic speeds -- although the aircraft will operate in supersonic speeds most often. As a interceptor, it does not have much agility than the F/A-22 or the Flanker series, but the aircraft has an acceptable performace in ACM (air combat maneuvering) with other "heavy" aircraft, and is rated at 7.1g. Stealth features, such application of RCS reduction materials and surfaces, plus application of lower engine/inlet IR signatures (mostly at non-afetrburning stage) and radar signatures has greatly reduced the aircraft's radar cross section (to the size of a basketball -- slightly smaller than the F-117s and slightly larger than the F/A-22 and B-2 RCS) and greatly increased survivabiity in high-threat SAM and enemy aircraft environments. The aircraft also has a large internal fuel tank that also extends towards the exterior like a box (like those on the F-16I and F-16C Block 60), and has an empty weight of 51,800lbs (23,496kg). Finally, the aircraft has a tail-mounted speed brake, plus chutes.

The Rapier is powered by two Honjak Electric HEK-105 (TF-620-HEK-100) turbofans, which is a completely new engine designed for this aircraft. The turbofans are applied with the necessary RCS-reduction and fuel management standards required on the aircraft, and are rated at over 52,000lbs each. However, because of techanical, financial, and requirements reasons, thrust-vectoring nozzles has been omitted. These engines, coupled with the airframe of the aircraft, has a cruise (non-afterburning) speed of Mach 1.4, and a top (afterburning) speed of about Mach 2.8 to 3.1 at high-altitude (with normal payload of missiles and fuel tanks). The aircraft also has a ceiling of about 80,000 feet (24,200 meters). With this, the aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of about 92,000lb (41,730kg), and a maximum ferry range (on internal fuel) of 3800km.

Weapons & Mission Profiles

The Rapier, as said before, can carry various air-to-air missiles and fuel tanks, as it is designed for interception duties. However, a requirement for it to be equipped witha ir-to-ground weaponeries has been turned down. The Rapier has a total of three weapons bays, plus six external hardpoints (two underwing weapons hardopints, two weapons wingtip hardpoints, two "special purpose" underwing hardpoints) and an interior M61 20mm gatling gun, allowing a total possible payload of 15,000lbs. With this, short-range air-to-air missiles (standard is AIM-9X or R-73/AA-11), medium-range air-to-air missiles (standard is AIM-120C-5/N or R-77/AA-12), and long-range air-to-air missiles (normally AIM-315, though the aircraft can also be modified to fire the AIM-54, the R-33/AA-9, or equivalent). Fuel tanks can also be mounted on the two "special purpose" hardpoints, in which they are typically specially-designed 2000L (528 US gallons) fuel tanks with 1600kg of fuel. Here is a quick mission profile rundown with internal weapons only:

-Long-range Interception #1: 4x AIM-315 (center bay), 2x AIM-120N (center bay), 2 AIM-9X (side bays), 2 fuel tanks;
-Long-range Interception #2: 6x AIM-315 (center bay), 2x AIM-9X (side + center bays), 2 fuel tanks;
-Long-range Interception #3: 8x AIM-120N (center bay), 4x AIM-9X (side + center), 2 fuel tanks.

Additionally, the two external weapon hardpoints can be mounted with an additional 2 AIM-315s in configuration three, plus one AIM-9X each on the wingtip rails, but this can decrease the RCS of the aircraft. The "special purpose" hardpoints can lastly operate the different variants of the TARPS photo-recon pod, giving the Rapier a reconissance capability.

Electrical Systems & User Interface

The Rapier features a specially designed single-piece bubble canopy and a cockpit housing two crews (pilot and radar interception officer). The crews are faced with a variety of LCD and CRT multifunction displays, plus emergency steam gauges. The pilot has a wide-angle HUD, MFDs for flight control, navigation, and situational awareness plus communication equipments, while the RIO is faced with a sophisticated radar operation console (which can also operate the TARPS pods). The pilot also operates the aircraft with a fly-by-wire system (and an emergency manual reversion system if necessary) and a hands-on throttle and stick, although the RIO can also operate the aircraft by him/herself in emergency. These are all linked to a central processor which greatly improves the performance of the electric systems

The aircraft features a powerful Noran Tonobran 1200SK AESA/LPI pulse-dopplar, all aspect, look-down and shoot-down radar suite, which is designed for the Rapier and is capable of air-to-air and navigational duties. The radar system, with a powerful 64bit signal processor and memory, features high adaptability and performance. The radar features a range of between 360km to 450km, plus a look-up range of 190km and a lookdown range of 160km, and can track up to 42 targets. Air-to-air modes includes Range While Search (RWS), Track While Scan (TWS), Vertical Scan, Pilot Automatic Lock-on (PAL), Manual Rapid Lock-on (MRL), plus various Air Combat modes (inc. Boresight). Navigational and ground-search modes includes high-resolution SAR mapping, Air-to-Ground Ranging (AGR), sea search, Moving Target Indication, and Terrain Avoidance. It is also capable of engaging low-RCS targets in other specific modes (although at much-lower ranges in some cases), including B-2 and F/A-22s at an "acceptable range". Additionally, the radar also has a rear sensor with a range of 200km, which can perform situational awareness and airspace search functions (including look down and look up) and finish a sweep 100 degrees of airspace almost instantly.

The aircraft also features the Noran Wandans 800SK IRST and Visual Identification system, which features high-performance detection of IR signatures through the airspace at a range of beyond 40km. The data are displayed in a similar way as the, and the radar and the IRST can work together simultaneously, although engagement is often done with one system (in most cases, radar). The visual identification part however, uses a high percision, digital camera to visually identify (although not track) aircraft from ranges at beyond 20km, and is night-vision capable. It is mounted forward of the windscreen on the aircraft.

The aircraft features an integrated electric warfare system, which is a collection of electronics that detects signals from other aircraft and commands the aircraft's countermeasures. This includes a missile launch detection capability, plus an IR-based missile launch detection warning device, a tactical radar jammer, and over 140 chaffs and flares each. This also includes a Noran Watchtower 2700SKN radar warning receiver, which not only allows grat performance at detecting radar emissions, but also allows classification of the radar threats, and locating the specific radar-based threats (which allows a chance to have other suppression of air defence [SEAD] aircraft to engage them].

The aircraft has an integrated communications and navigational system for situational awareness, datalink with other aircraft, and basic communications. This greatly increases the capability of all aircraft to work together. For example, the flight leader can check other accompanying friendly aircraft's status, and compile a list of targets and aircraft in the particular airspace. This also includes an IFF system, plus automatic target recongition and classification features. With this, interceptor pilots no longer has to worry that they are locked onto the same aircraft when dealing with a massive fleet of enemy aircraft, and greatly deducts the workload. Daralink also allows communication and coordination with other friendly aircraft in airspace surveillance and engagement, while an intertial referecne system allows accurate inertial navigation.

===================================

OMASC Announces Completion of HSIP Missile Program: AIM-315A Spear

OMASC with the Omzian Air Force Weapons Labs has finally unveiled a new long-range missile, specifically for the F-125 Rapier: the AIM-315 Spear. The Spear is a long-range air-to-air missile designed for the F-125 Rapier, which includes a low detection active radar seeker, small-RCS airframe, great agility, and excellent ECCM (electric counter-countermeasures). Although designed for the F-125, with upgrades it can also be used on other interceptor aircraft, including the F-14F Tomcat II.

The AIM-315's revolution change, heavily based on the HAVE DASH II research program and the Hughes/Raytheon proposal for the AIM-155 AAAM, is a stealthy airframe to greatly reduce/maintain detection levels of both the missile and the carrier stealth aircraft (when carried externally). Like the previous mentioned missile, the AIM-315 features a slightly flat, radar-absorbing graphite composite fuselage with various other small applications of RAM coatings. Further, IR signature-minimalizing features has been applied towards the whole body to reduce detection by IR-based missile warning launchers, although the rocket motor obviously still produces a lot of heat.

The sensor is also a change. The AIM-315A's active radar seeking sensor not only features LPI (low probability of intercept) capability (which minimalizes the detection of the missile on enemy radar warning receivers), but also a long range in the "lock-on before launch" capability, as opposed to launching the missile and giving mid-course update from the aircraft. This could give more survivability to the launching aircraft, and allowing it to perform evasive maneuvers immediately after missile launch. The seeker is also jamming and chaff-resistant, and if the targeted aircraft starts to use ECM jammer, the missile would home on the jammer signals. If the radar seeker is completely jammed and fooled however, a backup IR seeker will take over. Also based on the AAAM, the AIM-315B is an AIM-315A with mid-course update, and an IR sensor for terminal homing. The missiles also has much better performance against stealth aircraft than the AIM-120 series, and ay even include the "AMRAAM 2005" variant at medium/long ranges. All also could be linked up to a datalink from another aircraft such as AWACS

The missile also has greater agility over the AIM-54 Phoenix, and is comparable to the AIM-152 AAAM. The four tail fins, coupled with the frame of the missile and advanced flight systems (such as bank-to-turn autopilot and sophiscated inertial and enemy flight path estimation systems), not only provides great agility over maneuvering aircraft, but also can maneuver at a g-force of beyond 30g. The missile also uses a hybrid solid rocket-ramjet propulsion for maximum performance.

Specifications for AIM-315A/B
Length: 3.87m
Diameter: 28.7cm
Weight: 453kg (1000lb)
Speed: Mach 5.1

The missile, once produced, is available to customers of the F-25, plus in some cases special contracts for those who desires a new long-range air-to-air missile.

OMASC Unveils New Light Cargo Aircraft: C-78A Pelican

The Omzian Air Force recently has requirements for a replacement of the C-27 Spartan in current service, plus a requirement for a light cargo aircraft to be able to take off from unprepared airfield. The goals similar to the C-27, the An-72, and the An-32, the aircraft blends the traditional role of light transport from unprepared airfield with the latest technologies in propulsion, avionics, and airframe design. The C-78 Pelican aircraft will see a forseenable future, serving in the Omzian Air Force and various other customers.

The C-78 is a twin turboprop engine all-weather cargo aircraft with high-mounted wing, designed for its mission while providing a reasponable load, giving teh Omzian Air Force the capability to quickly transport troops and supplies onto unprepared airfields, therefore greatly enhancing efficency in supply and logistics as an alternate to heavy-lift helicopters such as the Mil Mi-26. Its roles also included relief operations consisting of delivering food and water to remote areas with minimal preparance, and insertation of forces through covert and quick means. The aircraft can carry a maximum payload of 9300kg (20,502lb) with a range of 1410 nautical miles (2611km) and a speed of 260 knots (481.5 kph), although the range can increase to as far as 4500km (2429nm) without the maximum payload. Takeoff distance typically is 450m (1476ft), while landing distance is typically 380m (1246ft), surpassing the older C-27s. Fuel are stored in two large "fuel bladders", with provisions for additional fuel tank or even an ECM pod. The engines, two HEKT-203 turboprops, features fuel-saving measures, fire prevention (inc. extinguishing) systems, and additional protection (with various composites and metals). If out of fuel however, the aircraft has a drogue refueling probe at hand.

The C-78 features a hydraulic rear ramp and two side doors (plus an emergency hatch) for various missions, including the carriage of light vehicles and paratroopers and equipments, allowing hassle-free operations. It can transport jet engines, light ground vehicles such as the HMMWV variants, and a total of up to 40 paratroopers (with equipments). In a medical role, the aircraft can transport 24 litters with four medical attendants.

The aircraft also features a state-of-the-art avionics systems, including glass cockpits, heads-up displays, communication systems, and electrical countermeasures systems. The aircraft features a Noran Cruisemaster/Korano 2290 search radar, integrated with automatic terrain avoidance systems and night-vision compatible cockpits, provides the capability of low-altitude operations. The avionics system also features flight data and cockpit voice recorder for emergency uses.

The aircraft, for protection against surface-to-air missile and even air-to-air missile threats, features a suite of radar warning receivers, missile launch warning systems, countermeasures dispensers as part of the electric warfare system. This not only includes warning systems, but also dispensers for both chaffs and flares, and a system which jams IR missiles with direct laser and lamp energy. A tactical jammer, the Noran Watchtower 1280M tactical lightweight pod, is also optional for more money. It includes a three-band jamming system and an optional towed decoy, which provides efforts to jam both radar-buided missiles and low-cost radar systems.

A gunship version with guns mounted and possibly Hellfire missiles on hardpoints is also being discussed, but no news right now reveals such program being funded, although most likely the program will be started.

OMASC Unveils Missile for New Air Defence Vehicle (NADV) Project for Omzian Army: MIM-316A Slingshot
A New System for a New Threat

OMASC sub-contractor Honjak Electrics and Horvans Munitions Systems has unveiled a new missile for the OMASC-Groansadvan Ground Vehicles project, New Air Defence Vehicle, which is projected to complement the Vespa and Mist Lynx Linebacker units currently in Omzian service and to replace the Avenger units for forward air defence units. The missile, designated MIM-316A Singshot, is a short-range missile designed especially for the vehicle, capable of engaging both ground and air targets (although much expensive to other anti-armor weapons). Featuring a semi-active radar/command, line-of-sight guidance, it has a maximum range of 14km for both air and ground targets. It also has a weight of 47kg, along with a 14kg (30lb) dual purpose shaped-charge/fragmentation warhead -- enough to defeat most aircraft.

OOC: Doesn't really belong here, but it is an air defence vehicle, so oh well.

IC: OMASC and Groansadvan Ground Vehicles Announces Completion of New Air Defence Vehicle Project
Together Bringing New Capabilities for a New Generation of Ground Forces

With over four years of "open-secret", quiet development, the NADV proejct is finally completed with a YSADV-8 vehicle tested and a SADV-7 production version just beginning to be produced on production lines of Groansadvan. Named after the late Omzian Marshal Honjak Garanes, the SADV-8A1 Garanes is one of the first indigenously-developed Omzian ground armroed vehicles, ready to provide low-level air defence for mobile Omzian forces. The vehicle is scheduled to be under full-rate production within a few months, and to be declared operational and having the first crews trained within 8 months.

Armament
The SADV-8A1 vehicle is armed with two twin-barrel Barana Arms GAU-312/A 35mm anti-aircraft guns plus eight MIM-316A Singshot missiles. The missiles has a command and line-of-sight guidance, has a 14kg dual purpose shaped-charge/fragmentation warhead, and has a range of 14km for engagement of both ground and air vehicles. In combat and simulated testing, the missile is capable of defeating enemy ground attack aircraft at a very high performance with the missiles.

In addition, the two twin-barrel 30mm guns can also engage both lands and air targets with high performance, being able to shred or cripple almost any targets, including close air support aircraft and heavily-armed helicopters. These guns have a maximum rounds per minutes of 4900, plus a maximum range of 3.2km against air targets at a maximum altitude of 2.7km, plus 3.9km against land targets. These guns can also be fired on the move. Rounds include Fragmentation-Tracer (Frag-T), High-Explosive-Incrediary (HE-I)), and Armor-Pierceing-Tracer (AP-T). Reload time for the gun, using an automatic system, is about only 6 minutes.

Fire Control and Detection
The vehicle features both radar and electro-optical sensors, including a search radar, a track radar, optical sight, FLIR, and other measuring systems. Couped with an advanced digital computer, these can provide percision fire control for the air defence vehicle. The IFF-enabled, three-band pulse-dopplar target acquisition and target tracking radar, both named RED MARBLE, are mounted above the turret and on the front of the turret, respectively. Radar detection range extends to 20km, while the tracking range is 18km. The FLIR also extends to 11km for detection, while a TV sensor and a laser rangefinder are available for backup, incase anti-radiation missiles and ECM starts their effect on the detection capabilies.

Vehicle
The system is based on the GMT-223E, which is a 29,000kg tracked vehicle with a Vanakron Vehicles VAO-229SP V-8 diesel engine (600hp), with hydromechanical transmission, hydropneumatic suspension, and hydraulic track tensioning for changing road clearance. The armored turret also has stabilization drives and a power supply. Air-condition, heating, NBC protection, and a "reasonable amount" of aluminum and steel armor (which is just below the amount of a typical IFV) are fitted. This also enables a range of 560km, and a maximum sped of 72km/h.

A typical battery consists of up to six vehicles, which also includes a transloader, and maintenance, training, repair, and communication facilities.

The baseline cost for the C-78A, without the EW system, is actually $5.38 billion. Through the deal the Omzian Air Force and Zoogie Aerospace agreed on, we will enact a 19% discount over the baseline price, excluding other prices such as delivery, support & maintenance equipment, techanical support, and the likes.

Baseline cost: $5.38 billion
With discount: $4.3578 billion
Delivery cost: Excluded
Support & maintenance -- equipment: $6 million
Support & maintenance -- service: $2 million
Total: $4.3658 billion

Because of the large amount ordered and the availability of factories for the assembling however, the aircraft will be delivered over a course of two to three years, with an average of 6 aircraft delivered per 1 month.

OOC: Zoogie, I'm still waiting for a reply, so we can get the deal finalized.

OMASC Announces New Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile Near Completion: AIM-317 Basilisk
AIM-317 Basilisk: One of the Best Dogfight Missiles in the World

OMASC contrator Horvans Munitions Systems has uncovered teh development of another new missile, which is slated to enter Omzian service soon. The missile, designated AIM-317 Basilisk, is a new, advanced short-range air-to-air missile featuring excellent agility, sophiscated countermeasures rejection technologies, high-percision imaging IR seeker, and a high off-boresight capability. It was developed in a course of two years to a requirement by the Omzian Air Force to replace the AIM-9M in service (before the AIM-9X even entered full service in the Navy) as part of the New Short Range Missile Program (NSRAAM), and although with the foreign-developed Scorpion missile entering in service, the program changed to the Alternative Short Range Missile Program (ALT-SRAAM). The AIM-317 Basilisk missile is already under late development plus extensive testings and evaluation, and is projected to enter Omzian service very soon.

The AIM-317A Basilisk is a fifth-generation short-range air-to-air missile that provides the pilot of fighter aircraft to engage targets at short ranges with a full sphere launch capability and high off-boresight capability. It features airframe design similar to the Python 4/5 series and AIM-9X Sidewinder for great agility, plus a high-performance imaging dual-waveband IR seeker that features advanced IRCCM (infrared counter-countermeasures) and background rejection capabilities, plus detection of low IR-signature targets. It can be launched from BVR (beyong visual range) or very short "dogfight" ranges, and the onboard computer is designed to engage maneuvering targets, among an INS (inertial navigation sysem) capability. Coupled with a powerful, smokeless rocket motor and an optional OMASC-developed AMSH (advanced mounted sight helmet), it can be installed on a majority of aircraft capable of launching the AIM-9 missile (including the marketed F-14F, A-6G, and F/A-22) to provide devastation to other enemy aircraft.

The missile features a high-percision digital dual waveband imaging seeker with high off-boresight capability, which is slightly different than the cooled two colour seekers used on many missile today. This allows much improved recongition of IR signatures with a longer range, and better rejection of background clutters and dispensed flare countermeasures and other IRCCM features. It also broadens the capability of the onboard processing computer, which uses advanced calculation to determine the best engagement and homing parameters for the particular engagement. Much information about tracking rate and off-boresight capabilities are said to be "exceeding the AIM-9X and Python 4", and the off-boresight capability has been said to be exceeding sixty-five degrees. The seeker also supports both lock-on after launch and lock-on before launch modes.

The aerodynamic design is also quite advanced, and is designed for high-G and high angle of attack rates to counter targets maneuvering at high G forces which is described similar to the Python 4 and the AIM-9X. As with many short-raneg AAMs, a cruciform canard is installed for pitch and yaw, while another small cruciform trapezoid-shaped surfaces are in place on top of the main control surface for stabilized flight. Roll is improved by two tiny, rectangle surfaces, although these will not control roll completely. On the rear, a swept surface similar to those on the Sidewinder and Python series gives excellent airflow performance. Coupled with a smokeless rocket motor feeding on solid fuel that features a system "similar to the R-73/AA-11 Reverse Traverse Engine", the missile has excellent agility over others.

With this, the missile is also designed in mind to track on a high manuverable target during the merge phase (in which both targets are just a few kilometers from each other), and if the missile fails to hit the target for the second time, it will remain lock and continues a tail pursuit, which will later result in a tail hit. The combination of the missile body and the propulsion system is said to be giving the missile "excellent turn performance" in combat tests to defeat high maneuvering targets.

Adejaani unveils C-34 Speedhawk

The concept for the Speedhawk grew out of research into the use of SCRAMjet technologies, which had already been applied to certain surface to air/space missiles. However, for an aircraft, say a fighter or a bomber, it was an impractical as the aircraft would need to be travelling in excess of Mach 4 or so, before the SCRAMjets could take effect. Such a small aircraft would be unable to carry enough fuel to take advantage of SCRAMjet technology and have enough fuel to carry out its usual missions.

However, the power and range of a SCRAMjet powered aircraft did make obvious advantages and thus was born the Speedhawk, as pictured below.

http://freespace.virgin.net/ra.day/mtb2e.jpg

At first glance, yes, it does indeed resemble Thunderbird 2, from the old TV show Thunderbirds. Indeed, the picture shows the model and the two prototypes were nicknamed "Thunderbird 2" in homage. The simple fact was, the airframe design was near perfect for SCRAMjet operations.

The Speedhawk is basically one large cargo hold, with a cockpit in front and engine pods along the sides of the fuselage. The cargo hold is serviced by one large stern ramp and is large enough to accomodate four M1A2 battle tanks, or roughly 600,000 pounds of payload.

Range is simply phenomenal, as this aircraft has been stressed and is essentially a spacecraft design (though it doesn't exit the atmosphere), capable of skimming just under the edge of the atmosphere, where it makes maximum use of the SCRAMjet to propel it high and fast above the earth.

Cost is currently $300 million each.

The Omzian Air Force itself is much interested in the C-34 and has a spark of interest in the C-77 Dasher, and plans to order a total of 28 C-77A and 9 of the VIP variant.

========================================

With a sudden boost of research of PDE (pulse detonation engine) and ramjet/scramjet technologies, the OMASC design board is stepping up various developments of aircraft-mounted PDE engines and hypersonic scramjet weapons for the requirment of the Omzian Air Force and possibly for foreign customers.

With this, the OMASC board is also planning to step up the Tomcat II Upgrade Program under the name of F-14F Block 20 development, and several units are being designed or/and modified for the particular upgrade. Msot notably is not only a longer-ranged radar and other sensors (FLIR, designation and targeting pods, and navigation equipments) plus a more capable ECM suite, but also a slight modification to the airframe with further aerodynamic characteristics for supersonic and sustained flight, aside from a larger internal fuel tank. A higher-performance engine is also expected to be produced.

Could the Spear AAM be reconfigured as a SAM? Chardonay would be VERY interested in this.

OOC: Apologies for the late response. Forum + RL matters.

IC:

We must express our apology as the Spear AAM is not designed, nor is able, to be converted to operate in a role of a ground-based air defence system. As the missile's electronics are designed for such air-to-air operations and the operation mechanism is configured so, a reconfiguration for ground operation would be much difficult.

OMASC does not have any plans to start such project. However, if requested, we are willing to work on a Spear AAM-absed airframe and missile that has those characteristics of a SAM, given that reconfigured electronics from the Spear AAM would be used in this missile.

As the order can be done for the B-1C, the E-8C and E-767, and the E-4 for the TSAF, we must stress the fact that while the order for the transports can be completed therotically, due to the production rates and complexity of the manufacturing process, the manufacturing of a total of 8000 transport-sized aircraft is impossible to complete within a period of six to eight years. While we can get the order done in a long-term contract, we cannot guarentee that the order will be done with a period of no later than 6-8 years. In fact, it may last as long as 12 years, when these transports should be rather replaced. We are giving TSAF an opportunity to cancle or reduce the order without much pain as we begin the manufacturing process.

As for the B-1C, the E-8C, the E-767, the U-2, and the E-4, delivery should be completed within 2 years for the B-1C and the U-2 combined, while the E-4, E-8C, and the E-767 will be simultaneously be delivered over acourse of four and a half years.

As for the transports, they will be manufactured and delivered over the course of about 12-14 years, as the numbers requires a huge period of time to complete.

The total amount of money, $785.1 billion, is discounted to an amount of $765.4725 billion. We are satisfied that TSAF has made the choice to purchase quality aircraft from our company.

We have decided to procure 1 (one) F-125 Rapier for evaluation and testing. If the aircraft fits the bill, after intensive testing, you can expect an order for at least 24 Rapiers. If not, then we will give the test F-125 Rapier a nice place in one of our aerospace museums. A total of $96,000,000.00 Million will be wired to your account upon confirmation.

As we remember the representive from Al-Sabir at the Zoogie Air Conference where they expressed interest for our F-125 Rapier, we can perfectly accept the proposal. The procurement of one F-125E Rapier (which is an export version with very slightly downgraded radar systems and other sensors, deletion of sensitive Omzian MILNET-linked communications systems, but faster standard speeds of up to Mach 3.2-3.3 at high altitudes) is accepted, and the aircraft should arive within two weeks for the testings by the Al-Sabir military. We assure the Al-Sabir military that the flight performance, the sensor performance, and the manufacturing quality of the aircraft will satisfy the Al-Sabir Air Force very well. These are manufactured, just like the F-125A for the Omzian military, with maximum percision.

We hope that our aircraft could win such contract, and is honoured to have it placed in such aerospace museum. We are looking forward to the response.

Therefore, I wish to inform you that the ASAF has decided to procure 48 F-125E "Rapiers" and maybe maybe another similar sized order of this aircraft in the future. The test Rapier won't be used further for active duty (the ASAF test board has a bad habit of even testing what calibre of bullets/grenades the frame of the aircraft can withstand, unfortunatly a barrage of 40mm grenades, .50s, anti-materiel bullets and blended metal ammo penetrated the strong "hull" of titanium and was fatal for most of the plane's electronics and weapon systems, disabling the aircraft from even taking off, without expensive repairs) but the holes in in the frame will be filled up with speed tape and the aircraft will be placed at a good spot in one of our aerospace museums.

We are very happy with the results, as this proves that the F-125E is a state-of-the-art fighter-interceptor aircraft for dealing with high-performance strike and reconissance aircraft we all face today. Although the Rapier is obviously armor-less, designers has it in mind to make the F-125E stronger with better materials.

The 48 F-125E will be manufactured within a duration of 4 NS months, following by a completion of shipment within 6 NS months (from now). We hope that this is acceptable.

OMASC News Page
August 2, Dakarie Year 50

As various divisions from the OMASC defence/manufacturing conglomerates began several of their private projects, and as the stock for OMASC rises with rising sales and profits, some new projects for the Omzian military are surfacing. These projects are projected to be completed within a duration of one to two years, as these projects has also underwent much development:

-New project for a ground strike, kinetic energy penetrating weapon. Named the Arrowhead, the missile is said to be taking advantage of an air breathing scramjet engine (in which a technology demostrator has been tested successfully) that can reach speeds of up to Mach 7-9. Designed to be able to outrun mant tactical air defence, this missile is said to be used in the role of stirke against "hardened", and/or high-value targets.

-New project for a H-6 Little Bird replacement. The new helicopter will feature both a military (which includes recon and attack) and civilian version, and is to replace the H-6 in service of the Omzian Army and Naval Land Combat Force (Marine Corps). The helicopter is expected to feature a NOTAR (No Tailrotor) design with a new high-performance engine, better armour and crew protection than the H-6, plus better sensors.

-New development of the Common Light Strike Missile (CLSM) project, which is a competitor of the JCM (Joint Common Missile) project. Designed to replace the aging Maverick, the missile is to be a light, Hellfire-sized missile with better sensors than the Maverick and the Hellfire II, and is to be carried by both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.

-The almost deserted F-14 "Block 20" Upgrade gets a new boost. The upgrade package, apart from a better engine (based on another modified and lighter design of the engine on the F-125A) and overall design, it also includes a much better radar, complete compatibility with the Spear and Basilisk missiles, an air-to-air optimized IRST system, and FLIR systems. More so, it is also projected to make the Tomcat II compatible with a line of new Honjak Electric-designed recon pods, including the Eaglesight photographic recon pod, the Super Sniper targeting pod, and a side-looking radar that is in the early development stage.

Adejaani unveils AH-60N Battlehawk

Many nations operate the H-60 Blackhawk/Seahawk helicopters in a massive range of roles, from medical evacuation, personnel and VIP transport, cargo and anti-submarine warfare to name but a few.

The AH-60N Battlehawk is a development of the venerable H-60 and is designed to replace the old venerable AH-1 Cobra in all its versions. Larger, more comfortable with more range, speed and power, the AH-60 also incorporates more advanced electronics and more firepower, with up to eight Hellfire missiles or similar, plus two rocket pods. An additional pod mounted gun is optional. An enclosed rotor tail is also standard.

To save on further costs, both the land and sea based (that is, ship) versions are exactly the same. The primary point of notice, for shipborne stowage, is the main rotorhead features folding rotor blades, plus the "armament wings" fold upwards too.

Unit cost is around 25 million per unit.

Adejaani unveils ARS-4

ARS-4 is an indigenous project, designed to update the primary radar systems of all Adejaani aircraft. The philosophy was simple. Incorporate into one system the best features and requirements:

1 The phenomenal range and detection of the AWG-9 radar of the F-14 Tomcat

2 NCTR capabilities for faster identification at long ranges

3 Phased radar array based on the APG-77 of the F/A-22 Raptor

4 Increased frequency agility and anti jamming capabilities

The ARS-4 radar (Adejaani Radar System-4) does all that in a relatively cheap package. Further, a new weapons suite is being designed to take advantage of this.

The old AIM-7 Sparrow air-to-air missile was designed to be guided along a radar beam. Using the same principle, testing a similar weapon, but for an air-to-ground weapon (say a modified Paveway bomb) to use this radar homing technique. This would free up the need for a dedicated laser targeting pod and thus weight aboard an aircraft.

The OMASC is pleased to announce two new additions to the OMASC product line of munitions. As both munitions were under unannounced development, they have already entered the service of both the Omzian Navy, Air Force, and Army.

The AGM-321 Meteor is a new development in the Omzian Naval Aviation arsenal. As both a new type of missile within the OMASC catalog, and as a new missile of its kind within the bomber force of the Omzian Naval Aviation, the missile is designed to deal with hostile large-sized threats (more specifically, large aircraft carriers and heavily-armored battleships) high from the air at sea. As designers has in mind that the Omzian Navy needs a missile as an additional way of countering new breeds of heavily-armored battleships and aircraft carriers, the result is a high-performance missile that has a high performance warhead to counter the "hard" protection of the armored vessels, while also having an advanced electronic suite to counter the "soft" defence of the vessels (such as countermeasures).

The missile is designed with a body that is optimized for both high speed and low observance. The body resembles a small-winged but wider body of the P-700 Granit (SS-N-19 Shipwreck), with a sharp point at the top of the missile. The missile's body is reported to be have a reduced RCS by having RAM materials covered in areas throughout the missile, while the speed of the missile gives it a natural advantage. Critical areas of the missile is also armored as well, primarily against shells of up to the 20mm diameter fired from Phalanx-like CIWS systems. An efficent ramjet has been fitted, though the prototypes of the missile were at first fitted with a hybrid PDE engine.

The electronic system is fine as well. The AGM-321 is the first missile to feature a high-powered, high-memory, EMP-hardened computer system, which is responsible for not only monitoring the health of the missile and the status of the target, but also evaluating the environment around it. It is equipped with an integrated datalink and threat detection system, which receives targeting information from ground, sea, and air-based (reportly to be modified P-7Ls, modified EH-101Ls, and the bombers themselves) sensors (unconfirmed reports suggests that the Omzian version is also capable of receiving information from its space-based Lengends RORSAT network also). The system is tied to an integrated radar warning receiver and computer processor, which will not only maneuver the missile to conduct defensive maneuvers, but also informing the launch aircaft and other missiles in its group. Further, a jammer is tied to the system, which will perform "light" radar jamming in a high-threat environment. An ECM-resistanct, LPI-enabled, dual-mode active and passive radar seeker is the centerpiece of the missile's electronic system. The seeker is not only able to switch between both modes to reduce the chance of detection from enemy vessels, but the seeker can also perform search functions, providing a greater targeting capability.

A typical attack profile of the missile begins from its launch from bombers flying at high altitudes. At the next stage, it climbs up to an altitude of approximately 76,000ft to 82,000ft A sea-skimming, which allows it to fly towards the target at a speed of approximately Mach 3.8. A terminal dive is executed at the terminal stage, as it dives in a steep angle towards the targeted enemy vessel. An additional option for a sea-skimming profile is also available, but it would be less used, and is provided in the computer system as a backup flight profile only. Omzian naval doctrine calls for the missile to be launched with additional missiles of other types for attacks against high-priority and protected vessels, such as aircraft carriers and battleship-type vessels.

Export Version: A general export version of the missile (for "common" customers of OMASC), designated the AGM-321AE (E for export). The export version's differences from the main version includes a "standardized" datalink system for the missile to operate with common non-Omzian fire control systems, a radar with downgraded technology and a slower processor, a limited "missile-to-missile" communication system designed for intercommunications between 8 missiles, and a programmed dive setting at 70-75 degrees. Modifications (such as electronical equipment and carriage equipment) lowing carriage of the AGM-321A is available for installation on customer systems, including common American and Russian bombers and patrol aircraft (B-52H, B-1B, P-3C, P-7A, Tu-22M, Tu-95, Tu-160). More information regarding the availability of technology and procurement of the missile system are available from OMASC. Base price is quoted at $4.6 million per unit, with assossciated fire control and maintenance units.

The MGM-327/328/329 Archer SRBM systems, co-developed by OMASC and the Omzian Army Rocket Laboratories under the name "Daredevil" for the past few years, is a revolutionary short-range ballistic missile system series designed for service in the Omzian Army to address the lack of ultra short-range ballistic missiles (ever since the retirement of V2-based Revolution A missile tens of years ago) and the small numbers of the imported Kodachi ballistic missiles. It not only incorporates the new developments in rocket engine and control surfaces technologies, but it also perfects on the defensive and electronic systems of the missile. With these factors combined, the Archer series of missiles are designed to destroy enemy ground-based targets in a dense air-defence environment.

Resembling the Chinese DF-15, with four scaled-down delta wings of the Indian Prithvi, and the defensive technologies developed from those of the Russian Tender/Iskander series, the missiles incorporates new technologies to allow it to achieve a longer range, while avoiding a low warhead weight. Using an undisclosed high density solid propellant mixture, the missile gains both higher thrust and a good weight-to-warhead ratio to allow it to reach the intended range and deliver the heavy warhead, while keeping its weight below the acceptable level. Four delta "wings", scaled down in comparison of both the Indian Prithvi SS-150 and SS-350 (the "wings" are smaller on the MGM-329 in comparison with the RGM-328), along with a nozzle control system, were added to improve the maneuvering capabilities of the missile to defeat ABM systems, and to improve the lift of the missile during ascent and descent. In a typical flight profile, the MGM-326, MGM-327 and MGM-328 would reach an altitude of about 50-85km (depending on range) and flies level, while the MGM-329 would reach an altitude of about 110km-150km (again, depending on range). Both missiles would travel at a speed of about Mach 4.2-5.5 and would follow different waypoints (the maximum is between 5-8) towards its target, therefore reducing the capabilities of enemy ABM defenses. Light maneuvers would be made during the terminal phase, when the missile would activate its CIM system (explained later) and travels down at a high speed of mach 5.5-7, while still making both small and sharp maneuvers of "up to several to many Gs". The top part of the missile itself (including the warhead and the guidance systems) however, is also covered with RAM to further reduce the chance of detection. Because of this, the missiles are quite unique in the way that they does not travel in a purely ballistic trajectory, as a part of its efforts to reduce the capabilities of the enemy ABM systems.

Additional features on the missile are equally new. The centerpiece of the electronic system of the missiles is the CIM system - Combined Images Matching System. This system is the component of the guidance system of the missile, which includes an IR seeker and a low-power ground mapping radar (or passive radar when the mission of the missile is attacking SAM sites). As the missile enters its terminal phase, the system quickly takes an IR and a radar picture of the target and compare it with those stored in the database of the computer. Once the course and targeting data for the target was calculated, the active radar is switched off to increase stealthiness. Because of the nature of the sensor systems on the missile, additional modes has been added to allow the missile to track and engage moving targets. Aside from its own guidance system, the missile has been enabled to receive updated targeting data from JSTARS aircraft through a direct two-way datalink.

The missile also features a tactical jammer, which is optimized to counter the commonly-used Patriot PAC-2 and PAC-3 radars. A few decoys, mostly resembling the missile's warhead, is also added to the MGM-328 and -329 (though not MGM-327 because of smaller space) to again increase the survivability of the missile. There are various warheads, including HE, FAE, incendiary, and a range of submunitions (the ATAT is an improved and enlarged version of the BAT). The warhead and guidance system are fully interchangable on the battlefield.

Launch Platform:
The MGM-327 is mounted on the GOR-302/303 series of TEL vehicles. These small, mobile, 6X6 vehicles are entirely capable of off-road operations. Weighing over 24 tons, these vehicles are lightly armored against machine gun hits of up to 12.7mm, and includes a 12.7mm machine gun for protection. The vehicles include a crew of six each. Additional plans have been made to put the MGM-327 on a tracked chassis. These vehicles are fully amphibious. Missiles can be fired within six minutes after stopping, as the majority of the time were spent on entering targeting data. Later targeting phases are handled by an automatic system by default. The reload vehicle carries two missiles, which are reloaded within a time of 30 minutes. An default Omzian Battle Archer battalion consists of 18 launchers and 72 missiles, with a brigade consisting of four battalions.

The MGM-328 and MGM-329 are mounted on the GOR-309/310 series of TEL vehicles. The cross-country capable, 8X8 vehicles includes a launch vehicle and a reload vehicle. These vehicles weigh over 41 tons, and are armored against machine gun hits of up to 12.7mm, with provisions for attached armour "blocks". A 12.7mm machine gun is placed on each vehicle for protection of the crew of six. These vehicles has amphibious capabilities, and it is capable of launching the missile within 6 minutes. Reload time is set within about 35 minutes. A default Omzian Archer or Long Archer battalion consists of 16 launchers and 48 missiles, with a brigade consisting of 3 battalions.

Additionally, the Omzian Navy is also interested in the missile. However, because of the lack of designs suitable for the missile, the Omzian Navy has yet to make a decision about the possibly deployment of the missile. Although the Omzian Navy only has complete access to the design and license of the Ohio SSBN, the Omzian Navy is discussing the possibility of putting the missile onto both submarines and surface vessels, in enlarged VLS systems.

Export: The ballistic missiles are designed for export to foreign nations (with the exception of close allies, who will be able to procure the origional systems). Few changes has been made, although both the AINS and CIM guidance systems on both missiles has been downgraded towards the one of the Battle Archer, achieving a slightly less accurate CEP. The composition of the fuel remains the same, though ranges has been reduced by about 10-20 kilometers, and the missile's computers would have less capabilities of making maneuvers (the number of waypoints is also reduced to 6). Decoys and RAM coatings has been removed from the missile, and the threat detection system is also reduced in capability as well. Base price starts at $3.1 million for the MGM-327, $3.8 million for the MGM-328, and $4.3 million for the MGM-329.

The Imperial Air Force has a requirement for a high-speed, high-altitude medium bomber capable of delivering no less than 40,000 pounds of strike munitions deep into enemy territory. Because this aircraft would be used primarily for deep strike missions it is necessary that every possible measure be taken to make the aircraft stealthy. Furthermore, should OMASC agree in principle to this contract the Imperial Air Force will need to come to an... understanding about certain sensitive electronic suites that the Imperium produces and that will need to be included in the production aircraft.

OOC: Well, I'll see if I can design such bomber, and that would be definately be a great financial source. Only thing is that I'm quite busy in RL right now (school work), but since I can research and type up all the info about the ballistic missile, I'll see if I can do this. / OOC

Given the expertise OMASC has achieved through the improvement of the B-1C bomber, along with the upgrades for the B-2, B-1, and B-52 bombers that includes certain hypersensitive electronic systems, OMASC is considering to submit an interm draft proposal to the Scandavian States Imperial Air Force. As the payload requirement is completely acceptable to us, the only thing we need is a list of requirements, including electronic sensor systems (that are to be added by OMASC), range, speed (we have expertise in designing especially subsonic bombers, though we are also willing to design supersonic bombers that will have a blend of both speed and signature-reduction characteristics), and other characteristics (including "stealth"). As this will be possibly a project to fill a foreign nation's requirement, we will need the requirement of the nation's government and/or military, although the Omzian military may adopt a customized version of the baseline aircraft in the later stage of development.

As we continue to consider this and is drafting up proposals, we thank the Imperial Air Force for their considerations and trust in OMASC, and we will try to serve the Imperial Air Force as well as possible.

We thank OMASC for entertaining the possibility of designing and producing the proposed aircraft. The aforementioned electronics suites will be the New Empire-designed Pallas Athena active cancellation system and the Taiwanese No-Probability-of-Intercept radar. Our proposal would be to incorporate such systems by designing them around the aircraft itself. For this to happen we need a rough outline of the bombers size and capabilities are.

As for our specifications, we will start with propulsion. It is desirable for the aircraft to have supercruise and a top speed of around Mach 3 at an operational altitude of around 60,000 feet. We realize that for this to be achieved IR stealth isn't possible to any great extent; it is acceptable if all that can be accomplished in that arena is heat signature suppression. As for passive radar stealth, we have no real preferences as to how this is accomplished, merely that the end effect is that by the time it can be detected it is already too late to do anything about it.

The Imperial Air Force is not above compromise on anything, if something isn't possible then please inform us and try to meet as many design specifications as possible. Also, money isn't a great hindering factor, although we would prefer that an aircraft not exceed a production cost of .25 Billion.

The OMASC Corporation, for the time being, has selected OMASC-owned Novanuk Design Bureau to meet the Scandavian States requirements. As this is purely a design of airframe to an extent, it would be only likely that Honjaks Electrics and Noran Systems would be involved minimally.

At the present stage, as the requirements are for a B-70 style bomber which is to be operated at a top speed of approximately Mach 3 and a high altitude, the engine most likely to be used is still OMASC turbofan designs (Honjak Electrics HEK-720B, origionally designed for the proposed Omzian B-1LB upgrade, is being considered for this), but due to the Omzian development of PDE technology, a PDE-turbofan alternative is also considered to improve performance and efficency. Supercruise would be achieved without great difficulty, but payload will be reduced for the aircraft to exit the Mach 3.0 line. An afterburner will probably be added, but this will downgrade the IR "stealth" considerably, and would both reduce the fuel and combat range.

Further, due to the nature of the aircraft, a stealthy flying-wing design isn't much possible. A BWB design would be also thrown off for the purpose of achieving such speed. Because of these factors, a delta/triangular design with a shortened main fuselage, constructed of advanced composite materials and RCS coatings is considered, although this would result in a reduction of RCS. Heat suppression will be accomplished through the use of new nozzle designs of ceramic materials, and the use of composite materials throughout the aircraft would also hopefully reduce the IR signature throughout the aircraft. As an alternative however, if the Imperial Air Force prefers a fully-stealthy aircraft, we strongly recommend building on a high subsonic/low supersonic design, rather than a "Mach 3" design. As a result of this, we rather suggest an "active" approach in circumventing enemy air defence systems. This would include room for the housing of sophiscated ECM, threat warning, and sensor systems. It would also call for the carriage of towed and/or launched decoy to an extent when air defence networks will be very dense. Defensive armaments will also aid, possibly with the inclusion of medium-range air-to-air and anti-radiation missiles, mounted on a newly designed 3-round miniature rotary launcher, which is currently placed on the successful Omzian B-52L. Further, OMASC is also considering new measures to be taken against the newborn popularity of LIDAR systems, on the aircraft.

The requirement for the pricing is another hurdle for us to get over, as with a sophiscated sensor and threat detection electronic suite, along with an advanced airframe construction, we expect the aircraft to lay in the price range of $300-500 million. However, although vital features cannot be avoided to protect the survivability and the strike capabilities of the aircraft, we will look into measures to reduce the price.

Noran Systems would like to use this opportunity to inform Scandavian States about its APG-102/A ALPI (Advanced Low Probability of Intercept) radar, which combines the processing power of the Noran Systems EX200 computer along with a selectable "frequency change rate" option to randomize the rate of frequency change and the "snapshots" taken by the radar, while having an improved coverage area of approximately 140-170 degrees, thanks to the improved "snapshot" system which takes simultaneous snapshots to increase the coverage area. Other features are improved, such as improved ECM resistance, improved range, and an improved NCTR system which is capable of identifying aircraft, ground vehicles, and ships.

A Mach 3 top speed is a must, two of our larger bombers already fit the low-speed, high payload stealth specifications. We are willing to accept whatever sacrifices is passive stealth it takes, our Pallas Athena system will more than compensate.

Propulsion is up to OMASC, whatever you think would best fit the role of the aircraft is fine with us.

As for electronics, a full-on electronics suite such as that on the B-1B is not necessary. Pallas Athena requires little more than the space of a standard ECM suite and nothing more than a co-pilot to control, although we think that the addition of a single officer to control the Pallas suit would be a good idea in this instance.

As for radar, would you be willing to send us an example of the system you mentioned? We would like to see if we could not adapt it to an NPI system, it is after all mainly a software upgrade. If that is possible it would no doubt greatly ease production from your own end.

Finally, cost. As we have said earlier, cost is not great object. However, please keep in mind that the IAF will be operating several hundred of these aircraft, it is preferable that costs be kept as economical as possible without cutting corners.

As the Omzian engineers has worked on the aircraft design more as we progress through the project, we are right now releasing a basic sketch of the new bomber, codenamed currently as "NB-22":

Airframe: There are currently two proposals for the "Mach 3 bomber". The first proposal, codenamed "223", involves a construction similar to the B-70 Valkerie, with further adjustments to the whole airframe. The wing itself would undergo change, as the wing would be adjusted to one of a bigger span, and a strong structure to allow it to undergo low-level flight (though this is not recommanded for the nature of the bomber). The triangular wingtips will be rounded off, while it would still be adjustable. The flaps on the design would be thinner but longer. Vertical control surfaces would be adjusted to more of a trapezoid-like shape. The engines, planned to be six HEK-720C turbofans (of >59,000lb) would be mounted in two groups of three under each wing, with six separate air intakes, which would also undergo change to allow it to gain more "stealth" (along with the careful application of RAM materials around them). For various reasons, the canards will stay but will also be changed to something similar as those on the B-1, though it will be enlargened to provide more stability. The fuselage would be more "merged" together with the wing to provide more room for stealth features. It is expected that there will be a total of three to four bomb bays, although a speed of Mach 3 would not allow any external munitions to be carried, nor a full load of over 65,000kg (as it was intended). Range of the airframe is expected to be around ~14,000-18,000km with ~38,000-42,000kg carried in the bomb bays. The entire airframe will also be of composite and titanium to resist high temperatures created as a result of Mach 3 flight. The benefit of this airframe will definately be speed, although the level of stealth would be on the level of a B-1.

A second plan, the "229", is more of an origional plan based on a hybrid design between a pure flying wing and a Mach 3 airframe of those on the American B-70 and F-108, and the Omzian F-125. It would involve a wing similar to those on the F/A-22 and the FB-22, with the fuselage slightly extending from the wings with a sloped edge. The engine itself would be mounted above the wings instead of down, for reasons related to the role of the bomber. Because of this "semi flying wing" design, the six HEK-720C engines would be used to propel the aircraft further and faster. It is expected that there will be three to four bomb bays. But as previous designs, passive stealth could not be fully accomplished, primarily due to the speed that the aircraft design is trying to achieve. The advantage of this design is, although the speed will be lower, this design would have a better range, weaponery, and passive stealth capability. At the speed of Mach 3 however, the payload and the range of this aircraft would be definately worse, although at Mach 1.8 to 2.7 the aircraft would have a better payload and range than the previous design.

But with all our efforts, along with advanced composite materials, RAM materials, and minor airframe modifications, we should be able to achieve a passive stealth capability equal or even suppress those of the B-1, although not much more can be achieved without dropping the Mach 3 speed.

As for the electronic suite, we would still strongly at least a baseline electronic countermeasures suite (composed of a jammer and threat detection suite, aside from the ARC system provided by Scandavian States), although the benefit of the second design would also be more room for the electronic suites. Although we would understand that the particular active radar cancellation system would require much room, we would still recommend having an additional "basic" ECM suite added as backup. With regards to the crew, we are anticipating both designs to have a crew of two to three, plus room for an engineer and up to two additional personnel (attached to the bomber) and supplies and food needed for an intercontinental-wide mission.

With regards to the radar, we are perfectly happy to send one example of the full system (although export versions of the radar will be much more mainstream once it goes out fully onto the market) for the Imperial Air Force to evaluate this particular design. Unlike the NPI design, we can guarentee that this design would not only provide both powerful software and hardware processing capabilities, but also a vast room for upgrades in the future.

We hope that the current development update would inform the Imperial Air Force of the current phase of the designing of the bomber aircraft. With this, we hope that the Imperial Air Force would choose one of the two designs we have proposed, therefore we can accelerate the development rate of the bomber aircraft, hopefully having the process completed ahead of schedule.

We see the benefits of both bombers and in truth the latter is nigh singing to us, but what are the expected operational ceilings of both designs? If it would be possible for the latter design to climb past 60,000 feet and thus gain greater speed we will be inclined to select the latter airframe.

As for counter-measures, the only backup systems we desire would be a standard jamming system, chaff, and flares. If the aircraft did not rely on speed so much we would insist otherwise, but since it does rely on speed we do not make such an insistence and indeed are of the opinion that any weight that can be saved is a good thing.

The ceiling of both aircraft are well over 60,000ft, with the service ceiling for the second design being expected to exceed the origional goal of 65,000ft, although it is not recommended to fly any higher than 64,000ft to 66,000ft. At this stage, speed would vastly increase even with a sizeable weapons load, though external weapons should be omitted as alyways. Although the first airframe is expected to fly slightly higher and faster than the second airframe, it is expected that the overall performance of the second airframe would be much higher than the first.

Regarding countermeasures, it is perfectly fine for thE bomber to have a ECM jamming suite and a chaff and flares dispenser (the Omzian method is to also attach one or two "chaff boxes" with over 200 pieces of chaff to be released immediately when a ground or air threat is detected), although there would be room for more (even after the installation of the active radar cancellation system). Speed would definately give the bomber design an edge both in protection from airborne threats and mission execution time, although fuel problems are continued to be solved in order to allow the bomber to have a sufficent unrefueled range to conduct intercontinental strike missions.

OOC: I intend to perhaps have a sketch of the specification either tomorrow or Sunday, if that's okay with you. Still pretty busy here even in weekends (tests, tests, and more tests, and internet connection seems to be unstable for the past few days).

Developed secretly under the programs known as "Hello Fire" and "Super Wonderland" by OMASC, the Omzian Army Rocket Labs, and the Omzian Naval Weapon Development Labs, the RF-6A/7B is another series of missiles developed over the past years. It is believed that this missile shares some technology of the MGM-327/328/329 Archer (Omzian production name Red Flag-28A/B/C), and is developed over a time period parallel to the RF-28 Archer series. Named Taran (Omzian word for Wave), these are Medium Range Ballistic Missiles (MRBMs) design to fill the gap left by the conventional-warheaded Revolution C (retired years ago) to serve both the Omzian Army and Navy. Due to the role of the missile and its range, and the Omzian Army ban on all ground-based nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, only HE and submunition warheads are designed for the missile. It is anticipated that in the case of a war, the submarine-launched RF-6/7 with the range of the retired Revolution-C and the destructive capabilities of the RF-28C Long Archer would be used to destory important large-scale targets, such as large infrastructures and installations. This missile is also to be the longest-ranged land-based ballistic missile, and the third longest ranged missile after the intercontinental, nuclear Revolution 11A (modified Trident E-8) and the Revolution 12C-MOD (streched and modified Trident E-8), which are placed on submarines.

Much of the details on the capabilities of both the one and two stage missiles are not given, but it is anticipated that these missiles, fitted with a aerospike-like system and a nozzle/thruster control system, would be able to penetrate enemy air defence networks by the use of onboard decoys, ECM systems, and what to be believed as a capability to make small maneuvers during the terminal stage (to avoid ABM systems). It is also anticipated that the missile will have a body that is designed to be more resistant to laser-based systems by both a deflective surface and/or temperature-resistant metal alloys and/or composite materials. Further, the warhead is also said to be a "stealthy warhead which reduces the chance of radar detection", although more details are not released. The navigation system is a modified AINS taken from the RF-28 series. The missile is to be launched from both a ground-based mobile TEL system and submarines. It is currently speculated that the missile is already beginning to enter service in the Omzian Army in specially designated SSM Battalions, transported by the SAZ-117/118 (RF-6)/ SAZ-119/120 (RF-7) TEL System (of a 6X6 trailor and a 6X6 tractor). It is also planned to deploy a rail version of both missiles, though this has not been finalized

Export: Not for sale. Due to strict restrictions of the export of missiles above the 1200km class, sale of the missile system and technology to possible members of the Three-Nation Alliance (at this time including Clan Smoke Jaguar and Ferussia) will be decided by the Parliament, the Senate, and the Ministry of National Defence.

Further Assistance is Needed from Friendly Foreign Nations: The Omzian Navy is looking for a suitable platform to launch the missile, as the Omzian shipyards has no plan of submitting high-displacement submarine designs. The desired submarine platform should be able to house between thirty to fifty missiles, and should be of advanced designs with advanced silencing technologies. Current plans are for a possible deal for the Omzian shipyards to acquire the plans to build between 12 to 24 of these submarine hulls, which are to be fitted with Omzian sensor (and possibly reactor) systems. With this deal, monetary funds will be given, although closely allied nations will be granted anything from samples of the missile to a technology transfer of the missile.

Launch Platform: Aircraft, surface vessels, submarines, ground (modified MLRS and GOR-318 TEL systems)

The Dagger missile series, developed under the name of "Big Spade" for the past years, is the OMASC answer to the growing demand for a hypersonic land attack missile within the OHDF Air Force and Navy. Although the OHDF has purchased big batches of hypersonic land attacks previously from foreign nations, these are proven to be expensive and too few in numbers. Added with separate demands for a high-performance penetrator and a high speed "future missile", OMASC and the Omzian Naval Weapon Development Labs not only has successfully completed the design process of the Dagger missile, but also came up with a shortened version of the missile.

The Dagger missile is an exceptional missile, which purely takes kinetic energy to achieve its hit on enemy targets, most notably enemy fortifications, bunkers, and underground facilities. The Dagger missile is more safe in a way that it uses an rod of an osmium-cobalt alloy (which is used on the MOP penetrator bomb) and a hardened missile body and casuing as its "warhead" (and does not contain any form of explosives), and therefore, it does not require a comple fuzing system. This way, the weight freed up allows the missile to carry more fuel for its new scramjet engine (the first in an Omzian missile, as PDE is determined to be too slow compared to an advanced scramjet design), and therefore achieve a long range. Because of its speed and the high altitude that it operates at, its advantage over other missiles of a slower class would be its capability to avoid - and in many cases, outrun - enemy surface-to-surface missiles. A percise AINS (Advanced Inertial Navigation System) guidance system is added with a Noran GPSS-070 GPS receiver for basic navigation, to make sure that the missile hits its target, instead of misses it.

Launch Platforms: The Dagger, despite its roles, is more of an "universal" missile in the way that it can be deployed on the ground, at sea, or in the air. When deployed on surface vessels, it is perfectly capable of being launched from VLS cells, as its attached rocket boosters would propel it to supersonic speeds for the scramjet engines to function. From submarines, the launch canister of the missile fits in a 533mm torpedo tube perfectly. When launched from the air, it would either propel itself using scramjets directly after iti s launched from an aircraft in supersonic speeds, or the rocket would propel the missile to a supersonic speed (for the scramjet to function) if the aircraft is only subsonic.
From the ground, it would be fired either from a modified M270 MLRS launcher (Omzian designation M3270 - which would carry 2 of the Dagger or Little Dagger, or the GOR-318 TEL, which is a 6X6 TEL system capable of holding 2 missiles for vertical firing.

Export: For sale to approved nations only (essentially allies). the export verstion, designated BGM-322AE and BGM-323AE, has the AINS-H and GPS replaced with a Noran Systems NR0880 Inertial Guidance System. Export versions comes with the appropriate testing, support, and maintenance equipment needed by the missiles. Base price starts at $3.3 million for the Dagger, and $2.8 million for the Little Dagger.

M3012/3016 Advanced Multiple Profile Attack Munitions (AMPAM) Series

Type: Gun-fired top-attack capable anti-tank munition
Guidance: Tri-mode seeker (IIR, milimeter-wave radar, semi-active laser), acoustic backup (M3012) / IIR and semi-active laser, acoustic backup (M3016)
Range (120mm round only - 140mm and 155mm rounds will have a considerably higher range) : ~4km (direct fire and indirect fire; fire and forget), ~9km with target designator (indirect fire - M3012 only)
Launch Platform: Tank/Armored vehicle guns (105mm, 120mm, 140mm, 155mm)
Warhead: HEAT (M3012 - can also be deployed against low-flying helicopters), tungsten alloy KE penetrator (M3016)

Introduced by the OMASC, the M3012 and the M3016 is a new series of gun-deployed anti-tank munitions, the first "smart" tank round developed by OMASC besides the highly effective M3007 "Shotgun", the M3008 "Bustin' Concrete", and the M3010 "Radio Jamming" rounds (as dubbed by tank crews from the Omzian Army).
The M3012 AMPAM is a "smart" HEAT tank round, which uses its design features to achieve a high range against enemy tanks. Unlike some other rounds of its class, it can be fired in a direct (ballistic) or indirect (top attack) fire mode, and it can also be fired in the fire and forget or the "designated" mode (which requires a spotter system that may be able to provide laser illumentation) against enemy tanks and even low-flying helicopters (although only indirect fire can be achieved through designated mode). These modes are achieved by its advanced tri-mode seeker, which composes of imaging infrared, milimeterwave radar, and semi-active laser, while it is also equipped with a backup acoustic sensor and a small radio datalink device (for coordination with spotter system in designated mode) - all in one package. It is available for 105mm, 120mm, 140mm, and 155mm tank guns. Base price starts from $1400.
The M3016 AMPAM, although is much different from the M3012 in construction, has a similar electronic package. Its tungsten kinetic penetrator is propelled (in direct mode) in a way similar to the X-ROD concept, although this method does not provide as much kinetic power as a X-ROD round does. In indirect mode, the penetrator is "fired" directly onto the top of the targeted enemy tank. These are accomplished with a smaller IIR and semi-active laser sensor package (which also includes acoustic backup). Base price starts from $1200.

====================

[That's fine, I understand busy.]

As the Imperial Air Force has chosen the second design, the Omzian design team has came up with the following sketch design specifications for the bomber, now late in the design phase. Prototype testing is likely once the specifications has been finalized.

Length: 61.6m
Height: 12.1m
Wingspan: 45.9m (Not finalized)
Weight: ~290,000-320,000kg
Engine: Six HEK-720C turbofans with afterburners (thrust is "exceeding 59,000lbs")
Speed: Mach 1.9-2.4 cruise (not finalized), Mach ~3.0-3.12 at 64,000ft
Altitude (Cruise/Max): 64,000-65,000ft/69,000-71,000ft
Payload: Typically ~65,000-78,000lbs, Max payload at about 85,000lbs-95,000lbs (not finalized - though max payload will reduce range and the "Mach 3 dash" capability); two 3-round rotary launchers for small missiles (in two bays closer to outboard of wing)
Unrefueled Range: 10,800-12,000km with max payload, 14,000-17,000km with optimal payload and cruise speed flight
Crew: 3 (Pilot/Defensive Systems Operator, Copilot/Navigator/Bombardier, provisions for Engineer)

Notes:
-Although the airframe will be much different from those on the B-70, the "movable wingtips" feature for generating high lift during supersonic speeds has been modified and added onto this aircraft.
-Although the RCS is reduced to those of a B-1B Lancer, at a speed of Mach 3, heat buildup would considerably add up maintenance time for the replacement of RAM materials (although the process should be highly automated by a specially designed computer system), because of the heat and the stress involved on the airframe and coatings. More work is being done on this problem.
-The cost of the aircraft, because of the use of advanced materials and EMP-hardened computer systems (for mission automation and flight correction, since the airframe is not a stable airframe), the cost of the aircraft will be expected to rise dramatically. Current expectations put the cost of the aircraft between $300 million to $500 million.
-A contrail suppressing system is currently developed for this aircraft's engines, but problems have been arising with the chemicals being used, and the new LIDAR system for the purpose of the system. This should be fixed, but it is expected that more time is needed to fix this component. However, other engine features, such as an Improved Halon fire extinguishing system and a variety of exhaust IR-suppression features are added.
-Countermeasures for the current time being includes the Noran ABP-322R countermeasures suite (with missile, air- and ground-based threat warning, radar jammer, IR jammer, and an experimental "LIDAR warning receiver"). An experimental "smoke generator" system is also being developed, and is said to reduce the capabilities of enemy LIDAR systems. Radar is most likely to be a ground attack and navigation-optimized version of the APG-106/A (which itself is based on the APG-102) named APG-118/A, which has a wide variety of navigation (including weather mapping), search, and engagement modes (including an advanced NCTR capability to identify aircraft, ground vehicles, and ships by their subvariants, and a mode similar to the TERCOM system used on the Tomahawk). Additional sensors are expected to include an advanced low-light television/nightvision system, and a FLIR system, for percise targeting and navigation.
-Weapons will be most likely stored in a total of 3 weapon bays, each capable of holding rotary launchers (for larger payloads, and percision missiles) or standard bomb racks (for lighter payloads).
-An advanced version of the FBW system is used. Named "Advanced Fly By Optic", the system is an improved flight control system of those used on the F-14F Tomcat II, and uses optical cables to send flight control data instead of electric wires. Because of this, and combined with the Automatic Flight Correction Unit (AFCU), the aircraft is expected to be very stable in flight, though not particularly maneuverable. Low-level penetration at low supersonic speeds are possible, but it is not recommended.
-Because of the space left over by the airframe design and the small sizes of computer and otehr systems, it is decided, that two bays are to be added for the housing of one 3-round rotary launcher each. The type of missiles for the rotary launchers are not decided, but it is expected that the rotary launchers could house medium range air-to-air missiles (for self protection), medium-range anti-radiation missiles, or new "mini-cruise missiles". It is even possible for the rotary launcher to be replaced by racks holding decoys, if the Imperial Air Force prefers that instead.

As the design phase continues, the design of a low-observable, Mach 3 bomber is certainly an interesting challenge to us. Although we have dealed with both subsonic and B-1/Tu-160-type supersonic bombers for years, this is the second Mach 3-type design we have tackled in these years. We thank the Imperial Air Force for the opportunity to have OMASC design up a new bomber design for the use of in the Imperial Air Force (and possibly also in Omzian Air Force, and for very limited export)

We are most pleased with the specifications that OMASC has put forward for the bomber. While we would love to pre-order several test aircraft, we believe it would be prudent to wait for more details to be ironed out first. However, we would like to reiterate that the speed and quality with which this project has gone foward has made us believe that OMASC could become a primary contractor for any future aerospace needs.

OMASC is most pleased at hearing the comments made by the Imperial Air Force. Now, as a contractor for not only the Omzian Air Force but also the Imperial Air Force, we hope that through this, not only the military relations between the Omzian Air Force and the Imperial Air Force will improve, but more coopreation can be achieved between our two nations.

OMASC Announces Bomber Near Completion of Design Stage; Prototype is Already Being Assembled

DefenceNewsOmz (Kanze) - The state weapons contractor, OMASC Corporation (NKS: 22.11), has announced today that the design phase for a new bomber aircraft is near completion. Designed upon a request of the Imperial Air Force of the nation of Scandavian States, the project was origonally intended to be an independent venture, though the OHDF has also expressed strong interest after the scrapping of the XB-70 upgrade project.

"It's very exciting," Mangne Lorane, the chief of the Novanuk Design Bureau, said. "The development is going smoothly, and the problems between us and the completion of the project are being solved day by day." When asked about the exact specifications of the aircraft, he refused to comment, but said that "this [aircraft] will be a milestone of both OMASC and Novanuk DEB, as it incorporates some of the latest technologies we have today." It is also speculated that three prototypes are being constructed, but Lorane, again, refused to comment on that. However, the possible financial outcome may be clear: "we are expecting, if this project is successful, a new source of financial income from the Scandavian States military, and possibly both the OHDF Air Force and Navy."

Further news also suggests that OMASC with Noran Systems are developing a new series of cruise missiles, among others, for use on the new bomber. It is revealed that these cruise missiles will feature a subsonic speed, long range, and advanced "targeting and low observance capabilities". Not much is said or known about this independent project, but it is also said that "the completion time will be parallel to those of the bomber." Other words are said also about another new weapon for the bomber in the form of a very heavy penetrator bomb, but not much is said about that either.

[Are you up for another design request?]

The Imperial Air Force would like to acquire 12 prototype aircraft for testing purposes. Should the aircraft perform up to our expectations we will begin the procurement process, which we hope to include a massive initial order and non-commercial production rights for further expansion of our inventories.

OOC: Well, I'll have to see how much work I am left with tomorrow. However, it's likely that I don't get much (if at all) over the long weekend, so you can expect the bomber and some other goodies coming up soon over the weekend (or in the worst case scenario, the next weekend). If you can tell me the request OOCly, I could perhaps do a bit of research for the weekend work on it.

[I'm looking for a CAS aircraft. Stealth, low supersonic max speed @ Angels 35, similar to an A-10 in capabilities. I don't think I want a radar installed, such would be counter-productive, but the nose space for a radar can be used to install a Pallas system. Let me know what you can come up with.]

OOC: Well, when it really comes to CAS aircraft the two most important thing are speed (it shouldn't be so slow that AAA gunners could engage them easily, nor should it go really fast) and the protection. Max altitude could be higher than the usual for a CAS, but it doesn't need to be that high. A low supersonic speed is completely achievable, but if you need a better airframe that will accept a higher load, more fuel (therefore longer range + longer loiter time), and armor, I'd suggest against the supersonic idea and go for a subsonic one. Radar could be useful, but in a tank-busting role I would think that a combined IR and nightvision system (fitted into one or two pods) could work just as well. Even if the CAS aircraft's going to use AMRAAM-like missiles, the missiles can lock up on the target themselves at close range (thanks to a better sensor), though I would suggest using short-range AAMs. Keep in mind though, even if you are going to fly this aircraft in a high threat environment, stealth shouldn't be the primary concern, so probably (if you want the standard load and armor of course) the stealth features will perhaps consist of some RCS applications in key areas, but not much elsewhere.

[Admittedly I have a fetish for stealth aircraft and I'm of the opinion that CAS aircraft are probably the most needy in that department. I was thinking some simple shaping, not unlike what was done to the F-35, wouldn't be too hard. As for armour, do what you can where you can and if shaping can't be done don't be afraid to be liberal with the RAM (well, not all that liberal, but enough to give someone reading a radar scope pause.) I was thinking a small compliment of short-range missiles and then enough mud pounding ordinance to make a round 15,000 pounds of weapons.]

OOC: Well, although stealth does improve survivability (keep in mind that stealth is more designed to allow aircraft to fly in circles around SAM sites rather than flying through them), it isn't so much necessary when you are attacking mobile ground targets (where AAA and IR-guided missile will be the primary concern), and radar isn't much of a primary concern. Shaping could be done, but it wouldn't be extensive since it would involve big airframe changes, although some parts could be designed to suit the purpose (intakes, canopys, etc - I'm also considering to put tiny internal weapon bays in addition to the hardpoints, but that would be probably exchanged for fuel). The armament will most likely be a medium-calibre cannon (probably from 30mm to 37mm in calibre - although I'm also considering to put 1 or 2 more lightweight .50cals or 7.62mm), anti-tank and air-to-air missiles, and of course the regular mix of bombs. Payload should be well over 15,000lbs, and even much more if you don't want heavy armor and extended loitering capability (although that would make the aircraft much more ineffective in the long term).

OMASC Announces New Stage of Development: Bomber Named as XB-101 Bombardier

DefenceNewsOmz (Kanze) - As the developmental process of the XB-101 is in its late stage, and as 12 prototypes are currently being delivered to the Scandavian States Imperial Air Force, the Omzian Air Force-funded OMASC is pleased to announce the completion of the naming process of the bomber. Designated the XB-101, the high speed bomber is named Bombardier for its role as a high speed, deep-penetration, high load multimission bomber. OMASC officials has already revealed that the bomber is a revolutionary milestone for OMASC's aircraft design departments (including the Novanuk DEB), incorporating both high speed and low observance capabilities to conduct its missions as a deep-penetration bobmer, capable of carrying both percision bombs and long-range cruise missiles.

"It's really a... great aircraft in the works," said the Omzian Air Force's Head of OMASC Liaison, Colonel N. Borkae. He also revealed that a number of new features has been added, including a rearward-facing radar, a refueling system, and a newly designed integrated threat detection, evasion, and targeting system (which includes both radar and IR/EO-based sensors). Unidentified OMASC officals has also revealed that a workaround has been designed to counter the heating and fatigue problems on the bomber in flights exceeding a speed of about Mach 2.7, through the use of new construction and RCS-reduction materials. Codenamed "Formula X", it is not known what the structure is composed of, but it is expected that the composition will include a mix of composites, ceramic, and titanium-alloy materials.

It has also been rumored that OMASC has additional proposals for the nar-completed airframe. One of the plans includes an integrated electric warfare/reconissance version, which will carry a wide array of electric warfare equipment, and reconissance equipment for both photographic reconissance and electric signal tracking, with an additional bomb bay emptied for the carriage of new UAVs. Even an interceptor version is proposed, which will consist of a near-empty airframe which will include a wide array of air-to-air missiles, to achieve a higher speed and range to supplement the B-1Cs within Omzian Air Defence Command service.

OMASC Announces Development of B-101 Bombardier Near Completion

DefenceNewsOmz (Kanze) - After a lengthy time of troubleshooting and further optimization, the OMASC B-101 Bombardier is near completion, as Prototype X16 rolls off the production line as the last XB-101 Prototype, before full production begins for the Omzian Air Force and the Scandavian States Imperial Air Force. Further modifications and additions of features has matured the B-101 into a near-completed project, as both OMASC and Omzian Air Force officals has began preparation for production and deployment. In addition, a variety of problems, primarily involving fuel and temperature build-up problems at Mach 3 speed is being solved progressively, as an unnamed official has been quoted, "the airframe will also integrate advanced temperature and IR signature suppression features".

"We are so excited about the prospect of the neat completion of this project," an unidentified OMASC official said. "The whole of the OMASC and the Omzian Air Force is enthusiastic about this project, as getting through a bundle of technological hurdles requires a lot of work." The official has also revealed that the standard version of the bomber will contain a number of systems, including a sophisticated electric warfare system, countermeasures suite, and an "unidentified radar suppression tool". It is also believed that a number of secondary systems, including a set of radar and other detection systems, and a variety of munitions are developed to extend the aircraft from a high speed cruise missile carrier to a true multimission platform. "This is a revolutionary platform," he said. As for an approximate date for the aircraft to enter the completed stage, the official refused to comment specifically, saying "it will be finally over soon, as our test pilots reported both good news, and other bad news that we will have to tackle."

In addition, the official has revealed that a series of new systems are in the works by both OMASC and the weapons labs of the Omzian military, including a ground attack aircraft, and a range of anti-air and anti-ship munitions.

OOC: For those who are interested, the bomber and the CAS aircraft are coming up on the weekend (no more delays, almost got the stuff done). Quite a few new stuff, and the delay ICly is mainly because of the problems (primarily associating with heat build up and fuel quantity above Mach 3) that are being ironed out, and OOCly because I've been doing quite a few research to bring out some new features for the aircraft. For now however, some of the munitions.

Model 130/GBU-102 Percision Direct Attack System (PDAS)

Range: 30-60km depending on altitude (in typical release altitudes)
Speed: >=Mach 0.9
Guidance: Inertial with GPS, Optical, FLIR, and laser (optional) at terminal
Current Compatibility: Mk.82/83/84 (GBU-102D/E/F), BLU-109 (GBU-102P), OMASC UB5, UB10, UB20 (500lb/1000lb/2000lb unitary bombs with octanitrocubane filler - GBU-102A/B/C)

Developed by OMASC to fulfill an Omzian Air Force requirement calling for the replacement of the JDAM and a portion of the Paveway kits in service, the Model 130/GBU-102 series of "smart bomb kits" is a new generation of smart bomb kits for the use on "dumb" general purpose bombs. Providing numerous advantages over older systems like the JDAM, the GBU-102 integrates new technology developed by OMASC, with the reliability of older systems, such as the Mk.82/83/84 and the new OMASC UB series of iron bombs.

The GBU-102 PDAS combines a sensor suite with a pair of glide wings to increase its range. The two lightweight wings, along with the control surfaces of this kit, allows the launching aircraft to stay well out of the range of enemy short-range air defence systems, while making sure that the bomb will strike the target percisely. The sensor suite primarily relies on the percise inertial navigation system, with an advanced electro-optical system (somewaht similar to the ones on the earlier Tomahawks), for target locking and tracking purposes. A high-percision, anti-jam GPS receiver is attached to provide the bomb with a percision, flexible attack capability to assist the percision optical systems. The kit also has a laser and an FLIR seeker for additional targeting methods. Because of this, a limited moving target attack capability for the GBU-102 is also present with the IIR seeker, as the seeker would continuously track its target before attacking it with the bomb. A new fuze, named the "Selective Attack Fuze" (SAF), which is an improved version of the HTSF found on the SDB, and can determine which surface the bomb has struck, before detonating the explosive.

However, because of this, the bomb does not solely rely on GPS and laser, therefore unlike the JDAM, it is proof against any form of electric countermeasures unleashed by the enemy, and nlike the Paveway, it does not require a target designator. Against both kits however, the PDAS also uses the multisensor system to minimalize unnecessary damage to non-hostile targets, such as civilians, therefore saving time while being sure that civilian lives are not endangered at the hands of guided munitions.

The kit is currently compatible with the American Mk.82/83/84 iron bombs, and the BLU-109 penetrator. It is also compatible with the OMASC-designed UB5/10/20 series of bombs, with the new octanitrocubane filler. Russian equivalents, most notably the FAB series, are not currently compatible, but it is hoped that an improved version of the kit will be compatible in the future. OMASC is looking into near future possibilities of integrating an even more advanced inertial navigation system, along with other options for seekers such as milimeter wave radar, semi-active radar, and even lidar, within a few years. It is also expected that a smaller version of the kit will be designed for bombs of the 250lb class (including the SDB), which will also be developed in parallel with another possible "Multiple Attack Fuze", which is capable of triggering multiple functions of the bomb. A powered version is considered to substanically increase the range of the bombs, in exchange of weight.

Export: Version without Omzian GPS receiver (but with a generic one, which can be replaced by the purchasing nation) is available for general export. Unit cost is $24,000 USD per kit without bomb. Kit can be assembled onto bomb and equip existing aircraft with no modification, as intended.

AIM-315E Long Spear Long Range Theatre Air-to-Air Missile

Length: 6.1m
Diameter: 28.7cm (missile), 38.6cm (booster)
Weight: 820kg (1808lb)
Propulsion: Booster - Honjak Electrics HRN81 solid-fuel rocket
Sustainer - Honjak Electrics HRN12 hybrid rocket-scramjet with thrust vectoring
Range: ~400km-480km with rocket booster
Speed: >Mach 6
Warhead: 68kg (150lb) blast-frag
Guidance: Inertial with GPS aid and two-way datalink midcourse update, active and passive radar with IR at terminal
Tested Platforms: F-125A (4), F-15C/E (2), F-14 (4)
Unit Cost: $1.5 million

Nicknamed the "AWACS Killer", the AIM-315E Long Spear is essentially a modified AIM-315A with a mounted rocket booster, for additional range. This long-range and theatre-wide air-to-air missile is intended to be carried by heavy fighter and interceptor aircraft to counter the threat of large enemy aircraft, most notably AWACS aircraft, bomber aircraft, and high-performance recon aircraft.

Various modifications, however, has been made to this missile. A modified electronics targeting suite optimizes the missile to target large and ECM-equipped targets such as bombers, and AWACS aircraft, in which passive radar modes (including home-on-jam) are often activated at the terminal phase, homing onto the emitted signals from the AWACS aircraft. Active radar can be activated when attacking other large targets (such as bombers), though passive mode is activated if the active radar is jammed or cannot function against the target. An IR seeker provides a final backup. An additional midcourse update system is added, with the missile being able to receive navigational updates from GPS, fighter/interceptor aircraft, and even AWACS aircraft in the area. A newer thrust-vectoring enabled hybrid rocket-scramjet has been added, to give the AIM-315E improved range, speed, and accuracy, while a new type of blast-frag warhead has been added to increase damage to large aerial targets. Finally, the centerpiece of the whole missile is an attached rocket booster, derived from an upgraded PAC-2EGEM missile, which will propel the missile to an extremely long range as midcourse updates are received, before the booster drops and the rocket-scramjet engine takes effect.

Export Version: Export version, designated the AIM-315EE, with downgraded electronics and a slightly reduced range and speed are available to approved customers. Unit price

The MIM-329 High Arrow surface-to-air missile is a large long-range, theatre-wide, surface-to-air missile designed to protect large cities and large-scale infrastructures from high-speed, large-sized strategic hostile aircraft, including high-altitude bombers and reconaissance aircraft. The large size of the missile, inspired from the CIM-10 Bomarc, is designed to be deployed from both fixed and large-scale mobile sites to provide long-range air protection, in conjunction with shorter-ranged missiles such as the OMASC modified Patriot PAC-2EGEM. The missile is also designed to be used in conjunction with Omzian F-125A interceptors against, though not limited to, enemy bomber targets.

The missile is typically deployed in either fixed sites in silos or rail launchers (depending on the geographical features of the site), or in mobile sites consisting of a group of mobile TEL launchers and mobile radar vehicles. A High Arrow battery consists of 8 TELs with 3 missiles each, with two mobile operation centers, the Main Engagement Control Station (MECS) and the high powered, ECM-resistant Tall Fir Multipurpose Ground Radar (MPGR), with a capability to acquire targets flying "faster than Mach 5" at a range of "greater than 600km". When deployed at fixed sites (mostly deployed around cities), the missile would be either directly launched from the silos, or launched from rail launchers within semi-hardened or hardened shelters.

Targeting information is fed into the onboard computer before the launch. Then, the High Arrow missile is boosted towards its target by a high density solid fuel rocket booster. After burnout of the booster, the missile is then powered by an advanced thrust vectoring hybrid rocket-scramjet engine to propel the missile to a cruise speed and altitude of between Mach 5 and Mach 7 at between 28,000m to 54,000m (91,863ft to 177,165ft). The missile is guided throughout the inital course by its GPS-aided inertial guidance system, while receiving continuous updates from the ground radar and control stations. At a range of between 150-250km, the powerful NR-122 radar (which is derived from a fighter-mounted radar) is activated in conjunction with an additional IRST system, as the missile continues its course towards the target, with continued updates from the ground. Detonation of the warhead is then activated by the onboard computer. Because of these features involved, the missile is quoted to have a "greater than 92 percent" success against a formation of high-speed enemy bombers flying at high altitude. Software and other adaptations has also allowed the missile to be used effectively against warheads of intermediate or medium ranged ballistics, though it is also possible with other warheads.

It has also been revealed that a series of modifications and upgrades, including a full-capability ballistic missile defence version (for use against ICBM warheads), an anti-satellite version, and even a upgraded version (with the OMASC "Multiple Independent Atmospheric Warhead"/MIAW system) are in the works.

Export Version: Conventional-warheaded version, without Omzian datalink systems, is only available to selected close allies. If requested, fixed sites (and associated radar and command and control equipment) are to be engineered and constructed under the techanical guidance from OMASC engineers.

OOC Note: As evident, most of the numerical figures are rather approximate, because of a combination of the factors involved (such as the target's altitude) and the secretive nature of the misile, since the exact figures are evidently classified. Some exact figures would only be transferred to the customer

OMASC and Navy Labs Formally Announces New Underwater Ordnance Under Development

PORT HAGRAS (Tonoarbran Satellite TV DEFENSE) -- The Omzian Military Aerospace Corporation's Noran Systems division, the Omzian Naval Weapons Labs, and the National University at Osaria, today has formally announced that a series of new underwater ordnance are in development. Under the name of "Seahammer" and "Waterhammer", it is revealed that these weapons are the result of extensive research by OMASC and the Omzian Naval Weapons Labs under a series of "black" projects.

It is revealed that the underwater ordnance includes a "range of anti-torpedo and anti-ship munitions", which, as an Omzian Navy officer commented, "are the result of extensive supercavitation technology research". Although it is known before that the Omzian Navy is actively seeking both supercavitation and anti-torpedo technologies, it is widely unexpected that these projects are almost near completion for the use of Omzian Navy. "We are anticipating that these will be deployed soon," the officer commented.

It is also noted that this project is the first Omzian underwater weapon system project which is offered for other foreign nations. "We have provided offers to [some] nations," an OMASC official commented. "In addition, it is expected that such weapon systems may also be mounted on the B-101 project."

The OMASC official has also hinted and has revealed more information about the systems. It is believed that the projects include the development of a series of new heavy anti-ship supercavitation torpedo systems, and a group of anti-torpedo and anti-mine supercavitation systems, which may include supercavitation machine gun rounds and even mini-torpedoes. "Currently the projects are still in development, but we already have the technology matured enough to apply them to weapons," the OMASC official said.

Not much more about these projects are known however, but it is anticipated that the Omzian Navy will release more information soon.

[Is my bomber and CAS aircraft still on for this weekend? Also, would you be willing ot take on more projects?]

[Is my bomber and CAS aircraft still on for this weekend? Also, would you be willing ot take on more projects?]

OOC: I'm very sorry for the delay, but hopefully that it is either this weekend, or the next, as I have been finishing up the basic stats (the description isn't all that special), but here's a preview of what's to come:

Bomber (B-101 "Bombardier):

Length: 63.8m
Height: 14.1m
Wingspan: 46.3m
Propulsion: 8 HEK-720D turbofans rated at >60,000lbs (total thrust at about 480,000lbs or 217,724kg)
Empty Weight: 160,000kg
Maximum Takeoff Weight: ~350,000kg - 370,000kg
Crew: 2-3 (Pilot and Copilot, with room for Flight Engineer/Bombardier)
Ceiling: 79,000ft
Range: 11,000km on full load at cruise speeds, 15,000km with 46,000lb light load and Mach 3+ economic dash on return
Speed (Standard Payloads): Mach 3.4 at high altitudes with typical load, Mach 2+ cruise, Mach 1.4 supercruise (without afterburner)
Standard Munitions Carried :
-500lb/1000lb/2000lb JDAM/Diamondback and equivalents
-BLU-109 JDAM and EGBU-28 and equivalents
-~26-34 AGM-131 SRAM IIand equivalents
-~24-28 AGM-86 ALCM or AGM-129 ACM or equivalents
-~24-28 Dagger Hypersonic Missiles and Equivalents
-~3-4 Meteor Anti-Ship Missiles and Variants
-~1-2 Deep Bolt Heavy Penetrators
* - The bomber is not designed to carry unguided bombs, as dropping unguided bombs at very high speeds would not only be impractical, but would also have little accuracy.
** - External hardpoints are possible, but because of the high speed flight and heat buildup during these speeds, they are omitted. In addition, it is possible to mount fuel tanks in the larger bays and the "minibays" for extended range.
*** - Aside from the 46,000lb "light load", a 70,000lb load can also be carried, with reduced ranges (and a limited standard speed as a long Mach 3 dash wouldn't be too good for fuel quantity)
Payload: Maximum 46,000kg (101,412lb) in 3 bomb bays and 2 "mini-bays"
Cost: $400 million - $600 million

CAS Aircraft (Designated A-102 "Stormbird"):
Propulsion: 2 Honjak Electrics HEK-98F turbfans, 12,000kg (26,455lbs) of thrust each engine
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 38,000kg (77,161lbs)
Crew: 1
Ceiling: 49,000ft
Range: 2400km
Speed: Mach 0.92
Armament: One 30mm gatling gun, 10,200kg (23,368lb) of additional ordnance on 16 hardpoints

Also, as for more projects, you can tell me what you'd like, but sad to say, I cannot make any guarentee that it would be available within a few weeks.

[Well, my eventual goal is to have all of my aircraft designed by you, but for now I have something specific in mind. I was an aircraft with two variants, a pure ASF and a multi-role variant, that are at least as capable as the Zoogie-designed F-27. It should be fairly stealthy (at least that of an F-22), have a top speed of ~Mach 1.7 (although less is acceptable), and be supercruise capable. To achieve the stealth I was thinking of a design similar to the FB-22 Rapter as seen on the right in this pic: http://www.geocities.com/xplanes2000/FB-22.jpg]

Well, that'd be fine with me, but keep in mind that if you want the fighter to be ultra-manuverable, you are going to have to look at a non-stealth airframe design (such as teh Su-35) with RCS and a bit of small low RCS shapings, and maybe a powerful radar jammer to compensate for the lowering of the RCS. Maneuveribility could be still good if you want a stealth design, but the design gotta be very much different from a pure ultra-maneuveribility design, and you aren't going to do Cobras nor flipping 360 degrees ultrafast on this type of designs. Mach 1.7 top speed is most definitely achieveable, so can supercruise.

[I'm not worried about ultra-manueverability, my air combat doctrine focuses on engaging from extreme BVR with long-range missiles and making the enemy hemmorage losses so badly that when they finally close to dog fighting range any engagement is unwinnable. Oh, and I'd like it to incorporate Pallas as an additional stealth measure.]

Adejaani unveils F-111H Aardvark

Following Adejaani's resurgence onto the international stage, Adejaani Government Industries commenced a full inventory of all military forces, both active, reserve and mothballed. Perhaps the most interesting aircraft looked at was the aging fleet of F-111 Aardvark aircraft. There was nothing wrong with the airframes, although they were supplanted and replaced by newer aircraft like the F-15E Strike Eagle, which could carry more ordnance, was more maneuverable and cheaper to operate.

Nevertheless, the Adejaani Air Force's fleet of F-111s (mostly C and F models) had very little fatigue. The main advantage in the 111's favor was the swing wings, which allow it to loiter for long periods or dash at high supersonic speeds. Also, during its short service with the active force, it had one of the safest operational records of all aircraft, past or present.

This fact, coupled with Adejaani's new defense policy of tactical nuclear weapons air delivered to blunt an enemy's attacks, or conversely, to breach open the enemy's lines, was perfectly suited for the F-111.

Thus began the path to the new "H" model. At the top of the list was an airframe change, mostly to fix the wing pivot areas, which had plagued the aircraft for all its service life. As an historical aside, the F-14 Tomcat, learning upon the F-111's deficiencies had a more outboard wing pivot.

Other slightly more mundane changes include larger engine bays for more advanced engines, slightly strengthened fuselage and wings. Upgraded avionics, radar and targeting systems were also standard on the new "H" model.

Although the F-15E Strike Eagle may seem a cheaper alternative, the F-111H has the speed and long loiter time to exploit the situation. When in its intended role within the Adejaani Air Forces and armed with six (6) two- kiloton nuclear warheads, it is fast, accurate and deadly.

Cost is currently $40 million.

OOC: Good to see you back Adejaani, and also good to see that you are back on track with aircraft designing. The F-111H seems very interesting, and perhaps could be a good companion for the F-15E... the use of new avionics and weapons could make an older airframe like the F-111 to something really lethal. The light nuclear bomb load could possibly make it very fast, and would have minimal impact on the range of such aircraft.

SS - That'd be okay, and I'm thinking of something based on the F/A-22. Agility could be aided with an 3D thrust vectoring engine, though not much else could increase the agility while keeping it very stealthy, unless you want the aircraft to be lighter than something similar to the F/A-22. The aircraft would most definately featrue a sophiscated avionics system, and an active radar cancellation system could be also mounted on such aircraft, although it would obviously take more space.

Also, as for the bomber, they are not quite finished, but expect to see some suprises along with the B-101 and the CAS aircraft.

[Did you take a look at the FB-22 pic? It looks a lot stealthier than the F/A-22, even though they're about the same size. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I want it to be a tail-less delta wing like the FB-22, that should drastically reduce radar returns.]

OOC: I did, and I use it too. But keep in mind that even they look stealthier and the same size as the F/A-22, it's actually a bigger aircraft desgiend to handle more fuel and payload. There's a delta wing there for a reason, and it doesn't mean that there would be more agility nor a smaller radar return. Even a tailless version of the F/A-22 could be possible, although I still have to look into that. But even if your tactic is shooting off extremely long range missiles at long ranges, you still have to take into account of what if they fired shots at you (by then a bulky aircraft won't be able to do anything useful to defeat the missiles except using electronic countermeasures, but that's definately not all you have to do), or what if you are at close ranges with the enemy fighter, who is about to attack you. In fact, if you really want such platform, you could just've used a modified B-2 for such mission, although it wouldn't be very useful at closer ranges.

If you really want such aircraft, I could design one and the FB-22 design could provide a lot of spaces for missiles, but keep in mind that you don't want to let it come into close ranges with enemy fighters (which is very possible especially if the opponent has good tactics and technology).

[Well, I wouldn't want an exact copy of the FB-22, I'm just using that as an ideal aesthetic. I'd want the aircraft to be able to carry 10-12 missiles (no more than that) and have sufficient top speed to be competitive with other fighters. As for manueverability, I'd like it to be similar to the F-15 or F-22, which would probably only be possible with full aspect thrust vectoring and flush wing-imbeded manuevering flaps. I imagine you can shrink the fighter from FB-22 size to something smaller, say about the size of the F-16XL.]

OOC: Thanks, Omz. To both. It was an idea I'd been sitting on for ages.

Might I be able to interject that the YF-23 (the one that lost to the F/A-22) was found to be more maneuverable, though slightly less stealthy? Why not a development of the F-23?

Memorandum from Adejaani Government Industries (AGI) to OMASC

AGI is currently busy with internal orders. Can we please ask for immediate construction of a contract for two hundred and forty (240) C-34 Speedhawk scramjet powered transports. Cost is no problem and we are willing to pay handsomely for each aircraft.

[Actually, the YF-23 was more stealthy, more manueverable, and cheaper. The problem was that it's high speed and a couple other characteristics marked it as an interceptor, not a fighter, which is why it lost.]

OOC:

SS - Well, that'd be okay, though the importance of the airframe design far suppresses putting thrust vector control. A smaller aircraft could work just as well, but it'd limit not only the fuel quantity and perhaps even range, it also could limit the designers from putting ultra-advanced avionics (since it'd be obvious that it would take a lot of space).

The YF-23 is an interesting aircraft and was once again considered by the USAF (IIRC to be a fighter-bomber). I couldn't exactly remember the reason as to why it is cancelled, and although the YF-23 featured a more "unconventional" airframe design and more maneuveribility, IIRC one of the reasons of cancellation has something to do with the onboard systems. Anywho... /OOC

To: Adejaani Government Industries

OMASC is perfectly willing to take up the contract for the construction of a total of two hundred forty (240) C-34 Speedhawk transport aircraft, and if desired, a more capable Honjak Electrics HES-211 scramjet engine could be fitted to reduce construction time and manufacturing costs. As such large and special aircraft would need special construction, our cost estimation is around a total of $62.4 billion dollars, but we are willing to reduce it to a total of $55.1 billion as a gesture of friendship and as the OMASC factories are currently almost vacant (after the construction of B-101 prototypes). It is expected that these transports will be manufactured in many different large-scale factories, but it is also expected that manufacturing will slow down to cope with the expected B-101 Bombardier construction. As a result, it is expected that the aircraft will be delivered over a time period of between 5 to 7 years.

[The F-16XL isn't that much smaller than the F-22. However, I don't want you to take my ideas literally, they're just here as suggestions that are to be followed only in the loosest sense. You know what I want done with the aircraft and I trust you can do it.]

OOC: The YF-23 deal was due to politics. I've read somewhere that Lockheed (at the time of the competition) was making good time with their F-16 programs while Northrop was lagging with their B-2 bomber. Thus Lockheed's YF-22 got it while Northrop's YF-23 got the short end.

I missed something here. Can one of you please define these requirements for this aircraft again? I'm always thinking outside the box. Something you might never see.

There's a real reason why I'm buying up the C-34. There is always a method to my madness.

IC: To OMASC

Thank you very much. We further request an additional two hundred and forty (240) engine sets for the C-34 airframes we are building domestically. Further, we require production rights for production aircraft. For the moment, the fifty five point one billion (55.1 bil) is being transferred and as per usual, our pilots will take delivery soon. Thank you.

[For mine?

-There should be two variants, a single-seat air superiority fighter and a two-seat multi-role fighter. An option for a naval variant should be explored.
- Both should have internal hardpoints for up to 10-12 weapons. It would be preferable that the bay doors pop inside the aircraft and slide open instead of opening outwards as in most stealth aircraft.
- Their physical appearance should be similar to the FB-22 pic previously posted by myself. A tail-less delta shape is a must.
- It must be nimble enough to deal with most fighter threats. How this is done is not so important as that it be an economical solution (which means nothing incredibly radical that would up the price of the aircraft considerably.)
- It should have room for the instalation of the Pallas system, however the IAF will install it itself.

Other than that, he has free reign.]

To Adejaani Governmentr Industries

It is always our pleasure to serve one of our closest partners in the field of aeronautical engineering. Although we are not sure why AGI is asking for a production license for the C-34 themselves, as the C-34 was designed by them, we are willing to grant a technology transfer free of charge. As for the engines, we are willing to offer them, along with additional technical assistance, at a reduced price of $2.1 billion, if needed.

OOC: Well, about the aircraft, his requirements are posted throughout the last page, which are calling for basically a stealth, active radar cancellation-equipped aircraft with about 12 missiles with an appearance resembling a tailless delta version of the FB-22. A competition could be interesting if SS agrees to that, but there will be most definately a delay (I'm starting to formulate up some stats, but schoolwork and other stuffs are most likely going to get in the way).

[I'm more worried about my bomber and CAS aircraft. Speaking of which, Omz, are you willing to let me have non-commercial production rights? I'd pay whatever you asked for them, of course, but it's just more conveniant to manufacture them myself.]

[I'm more worried about my bomber and CAS aircraft. Speaking of which, Omz, are you willing to let me have non-commercial production rights? I'd pay whatever you asked for them, of course, but it's just more conveniant to manufacture them myself.]

OOC: If you just want the basic stats with some
descriptions, they can be up either tonight or tomorrow. However, about production rights, we don't normally grant them, but the price would be based on how many the IAF's going to actually plan to produce for active service (along with another set for attrition reserve to replace shot-down aircraft).

[They'll be replacing the B-83 Peregrine medium bomber and F-42 Gecko, of which there are 4,320 of each. Basic stats are fine, I just need enough to have a good record of what the aircraft is capable of so that I can reference it on a .doc file during an RP.]

OOC: Interesting. There's one which suit's SS needs almost perfectly, except for air superiority (or maneuverability). I'll give it some thought.

It won't look like an FB-22, but it sure does meet the other requirements.

IC: To OMASC

Thank you for the engines, the additional money is underway. We shall transmit classified memoranda as to the nature of these experiments as soon as they're complete.

[Well then, you're just going to have to work on the whole ASF and manueverability bit, won't you? It being an FB-22 lookalike isn't a must, but the tail-less delta is.]

OOC: Well, seems taht Adejaani has some ideas. In the mean time, for SS and anyone else who is interested, enjoy. Hopefully that this is a good bomber, and the CAS aircraft may be put up tomorrow. /OOC

The B-101A Bombardier aircraft is a new OMASC-designed and produced bomber aircraft. Originally intended as a high speed, supersonic aircraft to fulfill the Scandavian States Imperial Air Force's request for a new heavy-load bomber of the Mach 3 class, the B-101A is a powerful high-speed, high-altitude bomber capable of delivering long-range strike munitions deep into enemy territory.

Design

The B-101A Bombardier is a heavy bomber designed for Mach 3 flight, intended to delive strike munition deep into enemy territory at high altitudes. Because of this, the B-101A incorporates a stealthy airframe similar to a delta wing airframe of the XB-70, while incorporating various design features to allow it to carry a larger load while still achieving high speed flight with a reduced radar signatures. Two vertical stabilizers are also fitted, while the wings incorporates the "folding wingtip" feature of the XB-70. All eight of the powerful HEK-720D afterburning turbofans are fitted above to reduce radar signatures. Other control surfaces are also embeeded into the wing, including various other lift and takeoff enhancement features such as a group of redesigned flaps. The tricycle gear assembly and the bomb bays are also fitted under the wing and at some parts of the front fuselage. Because of the overall design, the aircraft incorporates a computerized flight correction and fly-by-optic systems. Fuel tanks are also installed nearby, incorporating self-sealing features while being pressurized by inert gases, while being protected by layers of kevlar and other ultra-lightweight materials to reduce the risk of explosion. On the front part of the fuselage, a pair of small canard-type wings are mounted, while layers of kevlar are used at certain parts to protect the crew of the aircraft. Other measures are taken to make sure that the B-101 radiation hardened. A refueling system is mounted on the nose of the aircraft.

To increase the resistance of heat buildup at high speeds, the airframe is constructed mainly of titanium, aluminum, steel, and a variety of composites and ceramic materials, and to allow a lighter airframe to be created. Another form of cooling is provided by an arrangment of fuel tanks that allowed fuel to absorb heat from the airframe to increase engine performace. In addition, the internal structures of the aircraft are also arranged to allow the fitting of a simple liquid-based cooling system. In case of fire or other emergencies, a Halon-based fire extinguishing system is incorporated. The large windshield also incorporates both heat-reduction and "stealth" measures, and are covered with a coating to shield the flash of a nuclear blast.

There are also numerous designs and measures taken to reduce both the radar and infrared signatures of the aircraft, and also in many areas around the aircraft, airframe features that increases the aircraft's survivability against radar and infrared-guided missiles. Advanced RAM coatings and materials, along with minor "stealthy" shapings are applied throughout the aircraft, such as the engine intakes and the front fuselage sections. A special type of non-reflective, "low-infrared" white paint is applied on the aircraft. Various designs and shapings are incorporated into the nozzle of the engines to slightly reduce heat signature, and to allow cold air to mix more quickly with engine exhaust. The B-101 also incorporate various "hard" measures to confuse infrared missiles, additional electrochromic panels (which can be switched on or off) are placed in selected places throughout the aircraft to act as a form of infrared jammer: one such use of panels placed around the outlines and the surfaces of the aircraft is to "manipulate" the infrared signature of the aircraft so that the aircraft would appear as a decoy to advanced infrared missiles. Finally, an advanced contrail system, reported to be made up of a LADAR-based contrail-detection system and a type of chemical, is used to both suppress the contrail and to warn the pilot about the possible existance of a contrail. Together, it has been proved that these measures decreases the possibility of detection by a large fraction over a "non-stealthy" counterpart, such as the B-70.

Avionics and Interface

The aircraft is manned by a 3-man crew, including the pilot, the copilot, and the Flight Engineer/Bombardier (FEB), with the pilot and the copilot sitting in the front compartment, and the FEB sitting in the back compartment. A storage room with a passage (connecting the compartments) is between both compartments, providing storage space for food and other supplies, and a toilet for long missions. Each member of the crew faces an arrangement of multifunction displays (MFD), and an advanced helmet-mounted "sight" is provided for the pilot and copilot to increase awareness of their surroundings and the status of their aircraft, as emergency gauges are also provided. All other avionics are connected by a 64 bit computer and databus, in which many of the electronic systems are EMP shielded. The crew all sit on the Honjak Electrics HRA3 ejecton seats.

The "offensive" suite of avionics includes the advanced OAN/APQ-228 ELPI radar, which is based on another ELPI design for a F-125 upgrade. The powerful nose-mounted, NCTR target recongition-enabled radar provides several functions through a total of 23 "full sweep" and "snapshot sweep" modes, including various main navigational, situational awareness, and terrain-following modes. Other important "offensive" modes, such as various ground and sea-targeting modes and air search modes are also provided to allow the B-101 to conduct percision ground strike and to defend itself from air threats. A rear-ward mounted radar, the OAN/APQ-102B LPI radar, is also used primarily for navigation and rearward air search. A Noran systems NK82 LADAR system is mounted in a concealed pod, which provides the bomber with a secondary sensor, and has a range of approximately between 60 to 110km (depending on the aircraft's surroundings). An additional Noran systems NR88 Low Light TV/Infrared system, mounted in another (and larger) concealed pod, provides the B-101 with enhanced navigational and medium-altitude targeting capabilities for guided bombs, while the infrared module of the system also allows a limited air-search capability. Finally, a radar altimeter, an inertial navigation system, and a percision GPS receiver is also mounted to provide the B-101 with intercontinental operations capabilities.

The "Defensive" suite of avionics, which are assembled together as the "Unified Defensive Countermeasures Systems" (UDCS), is equally important. The UDCS consists of a sophiscated Noran Systems CA226 frequency scanning and radar receiver/jamming system, which is capable against both ground-based and airborne radars. The Noran CAE180 infrared and missile countermeasures system provides missile warning and infrared countermeasures capabilities. Additionally, nodes are mounted throughout the aircraft and is linked to a LADAR warning receiver. These systems are also linked to chaff and flare dispensers, in which a total of eight to ten "standard dispensers" and two to four "large dispensers" are mounted, with the standard dispensers being able to hold fifteen flares ot 150 chaff cartridges, while the large dispensers are able to hold a total of twenty eight flares and 260 chaff cartridges. Decoys can also be used, as they can be both "independent flight" decoys dropped from the mini-bays, or a larger towed decoy system, mainly to degrade the performance of less capable ground and air radars, and to confuse radar guided missiles. Together, the UDCS provides the aircraft with a capability to defend itself from attack.

The communication system of the B-101 is equally sophiscated. Named the "Unified Inter-Systems Communications Suite" (UISCS), the communications systems includes various datalinks and other communications links, including a variety of secure satellite datalinks and an "Interlink XR" system providing the B-101 to receive and send data to platforms of another armed forces branch (such as the Navy or Army). In addition, on Omzian versions only, a datalink allowing the aircraft to receive nuclear launch codes is also included, although this is strictly restricted from exporting as a result of Omzian policies.

Weapons and Payloads

While being a supersonic bomber, the B-101 has an impressive load, allowing it to conduct strikes over a variety of distances at different altitudes. However, the B-101's armaments reflects the B-101's primary role: a percision strike munitions carrier. Because of this, only air-launched medium-to-long range missiles and percision strike glide bombs are carried as a result. The bomber is not designed to carry unguided bombs, as not only dropping a large amount of unguided bombs from simple launchers and racks is proven impractical at high speeds, but would also result in a very low accuracy.

The bomber has a total of three main bomb bays and two "mini-bays" mounted in the wings and the rear part of the fuselage, each housing one standard 10-round rotary launcher, or in some cases, a 12-round, a 8-round, or even a special one-tround rack (in the case of the BLU-200 penetrator). Because supersonic flight would produce complications for bomb release, the bomb bay doors would "slide" open, before the munitions are ejected out of the launchers from the bomb bay. In total, the bomb bays can house a total of 46,000kg/101,412lb of munitions, although in many missions a standard 75,000lb load or even a 46,000lb "light load" is carried for high altitude, high speed flight over long ranges. This often includes a variety of guided bombs, medium-range missiles, and long-range missiles. While the carriage of guided bombs and short-to-medium range missiles (such a the JASSM, "CSRAM II", and the Tacit Rainbow) can attack a variety of targets, the main power of the bomber lies in its capability of carrying long-range missiles, such as CALCMs and the Omzian Dagger 2000km-ranged hypersonic missile, although even more long-range munitions are in development. The carriage capability of two BLU-200 penetrators allows the bomber to attack large underground facilities and bunkers. The bomber can also participate in naval attacks, as it could carry a total of 6 Meteor anti-ship missiles, with sufficent sensors to engage in the attack.

The bomber also has two "mini-bays", which are mounted in the middle of the aircraft between the front and rear parts of the fuselage, allows the mounting of smaller weapons, such as the AGM-88 HARM/AARGM, the Little Dagger, and the CSARM II missiles, each mounted on two-round rotary launchers. In addition, the 2-round launcher can also be replaced by a 3-round rack launcher holding medium range air-to-air missiles (such as the AMRAAM), giving the bomber a self defence capability, in which targeting data would be received from the radars (before the missile can be either fired forwards or backwards when it is mounted backwards). Decoys could be also mounted, along with fuel tanks for additional fuel.

Status: Entering service in Omzian Air Force and Naval Aviation, unknown numbers of modified B-101 bombers (with additional Pallas active radar cancellation system) in Scandavian States Imperial Air Force.

Export Version: As this is a sensitive item for export, an export version of the bomber for outside export to non-Omzian/Scandavian States Air Forces, is available to allies of the Omzian Republic. For the "full" B-101A version, close allies can submit contract proposals for such versions, in which they will be reviewed extensively by the OMASC Representive Boards, the OHDF Arms Procurement Department, the Ministry of Defence, and other governmental and military agencies.

BLU-200A/GPB-42A (Guided Penetrator Bomb-42A) Heavy Air-Dropped Penetrator

Weight: 18,200kg (40,124lb) with booster
Length: 14.7m with booster
Finspan: 42cm
Diameter: 60.96cm (24 inches)
Range: ~30km when dropped from high altitude
Guidance: Inertial w/ GPS
Structure: Osmium-cobalt alloy and steel with kerosene-type fuel or other incendiary materials
Carrier Aircraft: B-2 (1), B-1 (1), B-52H (1), B-101 Bombardier (2)
Cost: ~$430,000

A new penetrator by OMASC. Nicknamed the "Deep Bolt", the penetrator is a heavy weapon, intended for use against large and deep buried enemy underground facilities and bunkers, achieving a penetration scale previously unheard of, and using its kinetic energy and the incendiary fuel as its main "weapon". Combining a hollow strong osmium-cobalt and steel case with propulsion, this penetrator is designed to be used against targets that the lighter penetrators and newly developed kinetic missiles could not defeat. A hose system allows incediary materials, such as kerosene or other jet fuel, to be put in to replace explosives, therefore greatly increasing the damage inflicted by such weapon. An attached rocket booster, along with a pair of large fins, provides the carrier aircraft with standoff capability. A GPS-aided inertial guidance system would enhance the accuracy of the penetrator as it is dropped from high altitudes. As a result, it is expected that the penetrator will reach its target through either concrete or soil at a depth of many times those of the other penetrators, providing bomber aircraft with a true offensive capability.

============================

BLU-200C/GPB-42An Heavy Air-Dropped Penetrator, Anti-Ship Variant

Weight: 19,300kg (42,549lb) with booster
Length: 15.8m with booster
Finspan: 42cm
Diameter: 60.96cm (24 inches)
Range: ~30-45km when dropped from high altitude
Guidance: Inertial w/ GPS, IIR seeker at terminal
Structure: Osmium-cobalt alloy and steel with kerosene-type fuel or other incendiary materials
Carrier Aircraft: B-2 (1), B-1 (1), B-52H (1), B-101 Bombardier (2)
Cost: ~$520,000

This penetrator weapon, based on the GPB-42A, is a dual use penetrator, optimized for operations against large enemy vessels. The penetrator, like the origional GPB-42A, is essentially a hollow case made up of both osmium-cobalt alloys and steel, providing great penetration power. A longer rocket booster has been attached, has been attached to provide the carrier aircraft with a more capable standoff capability. The guidance system, consisting of a GPS-aided inertial guidance system, would put the penetrator into the correct path, while an extra IIR seeker would make sure that the penetrator is "flying" into its target. Its strong case would naturally provide "armor" protection for the whole body of the penetrator. As a result, it is expected that this penetrator would deliver a crippling blow to any large enemy vessel. However, it is an important thing to note that this weapon is rather designed to deliver a final blow to large enemy dreadnought-type vessels rather than a first strike weapon, where the enemy ship would have detection and air defence capabilities crippled.The simplicity of the weapon, along with the ease of storing this penetrator, allows greater flexibility and less danger involved with incendiary and explosive materials.

Export (for both penetrator versions): As this weapon is a sensitive weapon for general export, the weapon is for approved allies only.

OOC: Ask and I shall deliver. The thing to most note is the use of a Harrier jump jet type thrust vectoring nozzle. ;)

IC: Adejaani Government Industries interim report, Project IFD-7

When the requirements for the Scandinavian States' request, AGI implemented IFD-7 (Indigenous Fighter Design Seven). The demanding requirements were look ed at and it was felt not something new was needed... But rather something old. The original plans for the A-12 Avenger II stealth bomber were an almost perfect fit for the requirements, bar two.

The first requirement was air superiority. The A-12 was designed to deliver ordnance onto ground targets, with almost no thought given to an air to air role. Thus, the air superiority requirement seemed an impossibility. However, one junior engineer had a bright idea.

Flush mounted panels within the fuselage (lying flat to the surface) could conceal a number of small vectored thrust nozzles. Much like how the AV-8 Harrier jump jet's nozzles allow it to take off and land vertically. Only in the case of IDF-7, the thrust is controlled and only used when commanded by the pilot.

By using these nozzles, IFD-7 would have a limited though handy capability of literally spinning in place (ie without using conventional engine thrust) by firing the appropriate nozzles. For example, a roll to the left would require the firing of the nozzles in the upper left wing and the lower right wing. While this is by no means a perfect solution nor the fastest, it is the most expedient and gives a measure of air superiority and great maneuverability.

The second problem is, ironically, the thrust vectoring nozzles which make up the system. They are extremely complex (ie expensive and a bit of a maintenance nightmare). Further, they are relatively fragile, considering the need to provide trunking for hot exhaust gasses, maintaining structural strength and also considerations of stealth and internal constraints.

It is, at this moment, unlikely (though not impossible) that IFD-7 will never yield a Naval version or a cheap Air Force version. However, the IFD-7 study will continue to try and solve the problems.

The OMASC engineer team, in contact with their AGI counterparts, find their research highly interesting and very innovative for a possible next-generation fighter/interceptor project. As the AGI is still researching this concept, the OMASC engineer team has some proposals. Although the small thrust vector nozzles could be used as a replacement for control surfaces, we do still find a pair of fully capable engines to be cruical in this. Therefore, a possibility for a type of engine is a 2D thrust vectoring afterburning, supercruise turbofan, with enough power to provide pitch control (and perhaps even reduce the takeoff distance by a reasonable length), while still keeping the stealth capabilities that is unique to such type of engine's nozzles. The flight control system could possibly still be a fly-by-optic based system similar to those used on the F-14F, and in flight, the pilot's inputs into the control stick would affect both the thrust and the directions that the nozzles are facing, while a throttle-like system could be added to control how much thrust that the thrust vectoring systems could yield (to reduce fuel, since they would be still needed by the main engines).

All in all however, it is indeed an interesting design proposal. It is possible that the concept could be made into a fully working prototype for further evaluations, as the fatigue and reliability problems could be solved by the use of advanced composite materials.

OOC: Heh. :rolleyes: I actually got this multi-thrust vectoring idea from, of all places, the space shuttle (and to a lesser extent, Star Trek). They have these little thrusters (RCS, Reaction Control Thrusters) at the corners to make minor adjustments... Which is basically the heart of the proposal there.

The problem isn't with control, it's the fact that I wanted to make this simple in design yet difficult in execution. This is Modern era stuff, so we can't exactly have small chemical jets just for that purpose (they wouldn't last long anyway) and it'd be too prohibitive for each to have its own dedicated fuel source/reactor/engine/thruster.

I just wanted to add in a bit of realism to it. I do story RPs, not technical ones. Still, what AGI lacks, OMASC can fix. :p

[Well, it's a novel concept to be sure, however I'd like you to see what you can come up with seperate of Adejaani's effort, Omz. Adejaani, it's an interesting concept and I'd like you to continue to work on it, but I have a couple of concerns.

1) Flying Wings are pretty stable designs, they're good for strike and bomber craft for that reason. And because of that I don't believe they make good fighter platforms. The latest RL fighters are extremely unstable by nature but because of their fly-by-wire systems they can still fly.

2) Flying Wings have one very nasty tendency that isn't very condusive to fighter ops. When you bring them into a high angle of attack they'll stall, the early flying wings had this problem and the B-2's computer doesn't allow the pilot to let it go into a high angle of attack for just that reason. I don't know how you're going to fix that little problem, but if you do let me know.]

The Omzian design team calls for a more conventional approach to such tailless aircraft. Like many tailless aircraft, this aircraft would feature a fully capable 3D thrust vectoring system, which would aid in yaw and pitch control, with the nozzles linked to a fly-by-optics control system computer that determines the control surfaces that would be needed to be adjusted. The entire control surface is to be placed on the wing, with a pair of "elevons" that combines the function of the elecator with the aileron. A pair of the so-called "flap-decelerons", somewhat similar to those on the B-2, would also be provided. It is expected such system would not only act as an air brake (as both decelerons are opened) or a rudder (in which only one is opened), but also acting as a flap as it could also bend downwards. As a result, it is expected that this aircraft would eliminate all tail assemblies, including a stealthy V-tain design, completed. However, the movable surfaces on teh wings are designed to move at small angles to keep the radar signature sizes, while the thrust vectoring nozzle would accomplish many of the tasks needed. The wing is expected to be a delta-like wing with the outside edges bended backwwards, much like those on the B-2 or the X-36. As the aircraft would be featuring a slightly unconventional control surface, it is cruical for tailless designs, therefore the fly-by-optic computer is optimized towards its maximum power.

Although a pair of canards would increase the radar signature by a small margin, it is determined that a pair of canards, which may be designed to be "stealthy", would be requried to provide additional stability and would improve the stall characteristics as a whole.

Although other details have not been ironed out at the current moment, it is also expected that along with the internal weapons bays, the aircraft would also feature a special pylon design, in which not only the external pylons would be designed to be stealthy (and eliminating as much as possible, the 90 degrees surfaces), but that selected pylons, such as those holding short-range air-to-air missiles, would also be able to rotate 180 or even 360 degrees, providing the aircraft with a true 360 degrees targeting capability.

OOC: Wow, are we geeky or what? :rolleyes:

I should of course mention that this is almost turning out to be almost as spirited as the Adanced Tactical Fighter program (YF-22 versus YF-23) or the Joint Strike Fighter Program (XF-32 versus XF-35)!

IC:

AGI interm memorandum, re: nozzles, maneuvering, thrust vectoring (etc)

Based on feedback, comments and thoughts, the IFD-7 team rapidly went to their computer modelling solutions and came up with the following interim notes:


While 'flying wing' designs are good for bombers because of the relatively 'simple' flying envelope, the 'A-12' type airframe is good for IFD-7, which includes air superiority. The use of multiple thrust vectoring nozzles would allow for a pilot to gradually ease from spin outs in the event of a stall, re-enable engines and recover.
"Standard" thrust vectoring for aircraft (ie standard engine thrust vectoring) is not applicable to IFD-7 due to the need to maintain a stealthy profile. In particular, there is always a chance a heat seeking missile could always lock on during a 'blip' situation.


As such, in regards to trying to outmaneuver another aircraft (air superiority), this would not be the case. IFD-7 would probably be stealthier than its competitors by a significant degree. Thus, IFD-7's standard operating procedures for 'drawing a lock' on an enemy aircraft would be to zip away from the aircraft, reef back around and fire off its missiles with a clear line of sight.

Further, although it is considered 'cheating'... However, AGI would like to point out that OMASC acted based on publically disclosed knowledge, that we act on our competitor's disclosed thoughts.

It was found that flaps, no matter how small, coated in radar absorbing materials and whatever else, increases the likelihood of detection significantly. Although the materials which make up stealth aircraft are a significant factor, as are the absorbtion, deflection plays the biggest key part. Deflection is the primary tool of a stealth aircraft and anything which sticks 'up' will almost definitely give off a radar signature, no matter how well designed.

Lastly, IFD-7 has completed its upgrade of the thrust vectoring nozzles. A combination of increased avionics, fly-by-optics and additional nozzles is the final solution. Much like the space shuttle, the nozzles can as noted before, basically allow the aircraft to vector into literally any different direction, provided the aircrew can withstand the G forces.

Internally, the original design requirement for weapons doors which do not move out have been addressed. An irising door (perhaps more commonly known to most people as 'rolling up garage doors) does not break the stealth profiles, although unlike OMASC's candidate, forces the pilot to launch in the traditional forward arc.

Lastly, IFD-7 does not use 'engine' thrust vectoring, only the nozzles. However, based on the client's concerns, a small number of emergency flaps such as speed brakes are provided, but only for emergency use (ie battle damage).

OOC: lol. Sounds like fun then. /OOC

The OMASC design team's design, now designated the Os-280, now incorporates several modifications based on the original design concept, to correct deficencies existing on the origional model. As a tailless delta platform, it is expected that over its competitors, while more movable surfaces on the wings would increase its radar signature (although the lack of a tail and vertical stabilizers helps the signature reduction much more), the general stability and agility that the design sports would help the aircraft in several aspects, including better stall characteristics in high-degree maneuvers (such as missile evasion and BVR fighting) and better performace at supersonic speeds, which is a must for such type of aircraft. While the movable surfaces would be revealing to the best of the enemy radars, additional internal structural arrangements and the use of thrust vectoring nozzles on engines would minimalize the use of such movable surfaces and their impact on the radar signature of the aircraft. In addition, the general lack of any other nozzle and the measures taken to conceal the 3D thrust vectoring nozzles, plus the stealth features used on the canard wings (which would provide additional stability) allows the aircraft to retain its maneuveribility as a fighter, while also retaining a radar signature that is a fraction of those on the F/A-22 design. The aircraft also concentrates on IR signature reduction to limit the effectiveness of enemy IR-based systems, as not only heat buildup will be reduced as the aircraft is more aerodynamically "clean", but the minimal use of nozzle and engine systems allows the fighter to retain a low IR signature. A non-reflective paint and additional composite materials would also allow the aircraft to minimalize the reflection of the sun's heat energy, as the aircraft is lightened (because of the light composites constructure) without a complex system of thrust vectoring nozzles, and would be able to reach higher speeds and altitudes. These factors also allow the aircraft to retain a lower possible price and easier maintenance, although it is expected that avionics will raise the price by a significant margin.

As a result, while the Os-280 design is inferior to its competitor in the factors of maneuveribility and radar stealth (because of the Os-280's use of movable surfaces and full 3D thrust vectoring nozzles to augment them), it is still a very maneuverable and stealthy aircraft, and surpasses its competitor in "IR stealth", high altitude and speed performance, better stall and stability characteristics, and possibly more load and fuel for combat missions.

'Embarrasing failure'
article by Sandra Hicks, Adejaani Herald

It is interesting to note how Adejaani's major employer, Adejaani Government Industries (AGI) has managed to mess up yet another potential contract which will boost the economy and AGI's business profits by several billions at the low end of the spectrum.

The embarrasing failure comes through the fact that their new design, rumored to be a stealth fighter, though with stealth bomber characteristics, is flawed by its own complexity. Insiders at AGI say that the aircraft will be massively expensive and is only marginally reliable.

Further, the basis of the competition has been so fierce... That no one has yet been able to figure out what to do with the naval variant of the aircraft, which is meant to operate off aircraft carriers. Previously, stealth aircraft have not been able to operate off carriers due to the heavy weights involved and the 'controlled crash landings' that are required for carrier aircraft to land back on, has precluded stealth, which tends to be far more fragile.

This new stealth aircraft design by AGI does indeed meet the stealth requirements. We're also told that there's a revolutionary system which allows it to almost land vertically, like the Harrier jump jet. So what's the problem?

The problem is that this new aircraft doesn't fit! Aircraft carriers use elevators, large platforms to lower the aircraft from the runway down to the hangar deck below. This new aircraft is said to be much larger and probably wouldn't fit!

What other bungles does our beloved aircraft industry makes? Who knows. Maybe an aircraft which can go in the water as a secondary mode!

OOC: Hmm... so is your design still going through? I don't think that the aircraft would be too large and heavy, and improved technology could make this cheaper, but hmm... But I'll admit that without a competition, it is a bit boring.

[I would hope so, I intend to have a fly-off RP.]

OOC: I actually never intended to make a perfect aircraft. Remember that almost every single design is a compromise.

The F/A-22 isn't particularly maneuverable and the JSF is 'one size fits all' which means it trades off somewhere.

I should actually point out that this is mostly just for RP the problems, which will be "fixed" come flyoff, or a bit of a compromise.

I should ask... SS, how big are the carriers? It might mean a bit of literal compromise if I have to shrink the aircraft down.

[My fleet carriers, the Morrigan class CVNs, have dimensions of 562M L x 112M W x 19M D and displace 475,000 tons, which is roughly 4.75 times greater than the Nimitz class. I also field six modified Doujins that I call the Gehenna class, there isn't any question what-so-ever that most jet-powered aircraft could fit into its holds.

As for the F-22, I will admit that in a dogfight most older and smaller fighters would have an F-22, F-15, or any of those two aircraft's Soviet contemporaries for lunch. However, the F-22 is extremely manueverable for fighters of their size and would probably have most top-of-the-line fighters for dinner and ask for seconds.]

OOC: Oh, that's brilliant then. IFD-7 wouldn't fit on a Nimitz. Assuming you scaled up the elevators (ie larger than a Nimitz), then it'd be fine. I couldn't do a folding wing because it doesn't have wings. :p

So yeah... My design's basically done, unless you have additional questions or comments.

[The A-12 was designed with folding wings, at least according to a rather large write-up on it that I once saw on the internet. I think it was on invisible-defenders.org, but that site isn't up anymore.]

OOC:

Good news --I've ironed out some of the details, including the air-to-air fighter. If possible, the fly-off can be as soon as next week (weekdays means schoolwork + a bit of time playing Pacific Fighters + some more aircraft designing). In addition to the A-102 (it's almost finished, I'll post it after I eat dinner), a F-125B "Mark II" upgrade is also almost finished, boasting an internal weapons bay (means a faster speed), upgraded sensors, integrated recon systems, and (!) bombs and missiles.

Bad news -- The munitions that I'm going to introduce later are still not finished (which includes a tankbuster missile I've been working on since July), but expect that sometimes soon.

OOC: Yeah, I sort of got that hint about the A-12's folding wings... But IFD-7 is not the A-12, it's based on it. Plus, with the exhaust trunking to the nozzles, folding wings are a near impossibility. As a side note, having a fixed wing/blended body gives slightly more tensile structural strength than an aircraft designed with folding wings.

I estimate IFD-7 will have a wingspan roughly the same as an F/A-18E/F's wingspan (extended) and be as "tall" as an 18E/F with its wings folded up. I don't have the numbers for that, but if that's going to be a problem for your carriers, yell.

Developed by OMASC as a replacement for older close air support aircraft such as the A-10 "Warthog", the A-102 Stormcrow close air support aircraft is a new ground attack platform designed to provide close air support and other forms of ground attack. The aircraft, over its older counterparts such as the A-10A or the Su-25TM, is a better equipped, protected, faster, and more maneuverable aircraft with vastly superior avionics.

Design

The aircraft has a design similar to the Su-25 "Frogfoot", although the aircraft is vastly different when looked close up. Featuring a longer fuselage than both the A-10 and the Su-25, the wings are slightly swept, with two HEK-98F turbofans mounted on top of the wings. Two vertical stabilizers are installed. This gives the A-102 great maneuveribility at low and medium altitudes, and enough stabilization for ground attack at very low altitudes. The majority of the aircraft is build with titanium, aluminum, and various composites, to give it a light weight. Armor plates, primarily made up of titanium alloys, composites, kevlar, and other materials are present throughout the aircraft to protect it from cannon fire and shrapnel from small surface-to-air missiles. The armored bubble canopy and cockpit, protected by a foaming system, armor plates (including several behind and below the ejection seat, and kevlar-like lightweight materials (made from carbon nanotubes and buckytubes materials) protects the pilot and vital systems from damage. Additionally, advanced self-sealing fuel tanks are complemented with foam and a Halon-based fire extinguishing system, along with a warning system that allows the pilot to receive information about damage on the aircraft. A fly-by-wire flight system, along with an emergency manual control system, are installed to give the pilot smooth control of the aircraft. The landing geat system, along with the braking system, are designed to allow the A-102 to operate from rough air strips and fields, including dirt strips and even highway landing strips (as several Omzian inter-province highways are enabled to allow small aircraft to land in emergencies).

To further increase survivability against missiles and anti-aircraft guns and cannons, the aircraft is complemented with other systems and minor designs. Various radar signature reduction measures, such as application of advanced RCS materials (especially around engines and the front of the aircraft) are given to decrease the signature by a large fraction. Various measures are also taken to provide a lower heat signature for the engines, as the aircraft also features the electrochromic panels featured on the OMASC B-101 to distort the aircraft's IR signature to various degrees (such as distorting the signature so that the aircraft looks like a large flare to a Stinger's seeker, for example), confusing the seekers of IR-guided missiles.

Avionics

The aircraft features an advanced suite of sensor systems, providing the aircraft with an all weather attack capability. The center of the aircraft's avionic suite lies on the Unified Detection and Tracking Systems (UDTS), which includes an advanced LADAR system, and the Noran Systems RK228 combined FLIR/TV (including low light TV) systems. The LADAR system, the Permande-Enare Electronics Tinyeye, provides the aircraft with percision targeting capabilities at low altitudes in both day and night. It boasts a sufficent range and a suite of software and computers to detect, identify, and even track ground targets many kilometers away from both low and medium altitudes. The LADAR also features limited laser designation capabilities. The Noran Systems RK228, a replacement for the LITENING system, gives the aircraft an all-weather attack capability by featuring a FLIR infrared sensor system, a ultra high resolution TV camera, and a laser designator. Wide angle, narrow angle, tracking, and boresight capabilities are included. These are combined with an advanced helmet mounted sight, a wide angle HUD, and a glass cockpit system, providing the pilot with a wide range of attack capabilities. The helmet mounted sight is enabled to provide targeting for the defensive AIM-9X missiles, and the OMASC-designed gun pods.

A passive radar and RWR system is also included, providing the aircraft with SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defence) capabilities, currently with smaller OMASC AGM-122C Sidearm Turbo missiles. An advanced navigational system, including a GPS receiver and a radar altimeter, is included for safe low altitude flights. A sophiscated communication suite, including a satellite communications link and the Omzian-exclusive InterlinkXR, is included to allow the aircraft to communicate with air and ground units.

Additionally, the A-102 also features a capable defensive avionics suite. A IR countermeasures suite, along with a RWR and an integrated Noran Systems NJN221 jammer, are included to protect the aircraft against IR and radar based threats. A LADAR detection system, composed of nodes throughout the aircraft, is installed as a standard. These systems are linked to chaff and flare dispensers, which consists of chaff/flare dispensers located throughout the aircraft, and two large chaff and flare "packs" that can hold either 240 chaff cartridges and 22 flares installed on the wing. A towed decoy can also be installed.

Weapons

The A-102 can carry a wide array of unguided and guided weapons, including bombs, rockets, missiles, and even gun pods. However, the centerpiece of the aircraft is the Gondarveskie Systems GAR-107 30mm cannon. Nicknamed the "tankburner", the 30mm cannon, although slightly less powerful and is lighter and smaller than the one used on the A-10, has a faster and selectable firing rate, and an increased range. Using new rounds and propellants developed by Gondarveskie, the 30mm cannon's performace is expected to surpass those of the A-10 with DU rounds.

An additional number of a total of 15 pylons are mounted on the aircraft. There are a total of 12 underwing and wingtip pylons, and 3 fuselage stations. The pylons are of advanced design, as they feature a stealthy shape, and the use of various composites materials. The four outermost pylons also features a special "rotating" function, as these "rotating pylons" are designed to rotate 120 degrees, providing the pilot with 360 degrees targeting capability with some weapons. As a result, there are a variety of munitions that can be carried, most commonly unitary and cluster bombs (including the OMASC UB series with ONC fillers and enhanced tail assemblies), with another variety of ground attack missiles, including Hellfires and Mavericks. A wide range of rocket pods can also be carried, along with gun pods developed by Gondarveskie, including the twin 12.7mm (.50 cal) gun pod, the 20mm gatling gun pod, and the 27mm cannon pod. Short range air-to-air missiles can be carried on the two wingtip stations (on racks of two), as the pilot's helmet mounted sight and the "rotating pylon" helps greatly when the aircraft is under attack from its rear. Bombs and missiles are also frequently carried on racks (which are mounted on the pylons) as well.

Status: Entering service of the Omzian Air Force. Unknown number entering service in Scandavian States Imperial Air Force.

Export Version: An export version, designated the A-102E, is available for general export. Compared to the standard version (which is available to approved customers), the export versions boasts a slightly inferior LIDAR and FLIR/TV system, along with a degraded communications system and a radar jammer suite.

Although the CSJMI-OMASC developed Lightning Bolt is still in active service in large numbers, and although the AGM-321A Meteor was unveiled not too long ago, designers of the origional version finds it to be necessary to immediately fix the defencies present on the origional missile. A temporatory shortage of large air-launched cruise missiles at that time also called for the development of a land attack version of this missile. On the other side of the OHDF, the Army is also requiring a new supersonic coastal defence missile, to be launched from the new SKS-221 TEL systen. Because of these requirements, the AGM-321B is in development since the AGM-321A was just unveiled and entering service. As a result, the air-launched AGM-321B is a radically redesigned version of the AGM-321A, correcting many of the weaknesses of the AGM-321A.

One of the main improvements of the missile is a completely redesigned nose, body, and engine system. As the original missile was determined to be too heavy and was without sufficent armour, the missile as a result is designed and manufactured with a variety of low-cost and lightweight materials, including a variety of metal allows, composite materials, and heat-resistant ceramic tiles. Layers of titanium armor are placed around the missile to protect it from CIWS fire, especially 20mm projectiles from Phalanx CIWS systems. Control surfaces and the engine are also redesigned, as the fuel tank is enlarged and is now capable of holding the new "Mixture XL" fuel. The nose and the frontal structure of the body are also strengthened for greater penetration. As a result, not only the new missile is lighter than the older version, but the enlarged fuel tank and the reduced unloaded weight also allows a longer range and a faster speed. While the warhead isn't enlarged by a large margin, the filler is of an improved type, allowing greater damage to be done towards larger ships.

the electronic systems is also improved, with the addition of a LADAR, and improved IR and radar seekers. The INS system is also upgraded to the AINS standard, while an additional terrain following radar and radar altimeter are added. The countermeasures suite is also enhanced, with a more powerful computer and RWR, and a LADAR warning system consisting of nodes around the missile. A newer, although smaller, tactical radar jammer is added. Because of new arrangments within the missile, the LADAR and IR guidance systems, along with the new countermeasures suite are now mounted in front of the enlarged fuel tanks in a pod, to save room for the new radars. Also as a result, the missile is now capable of attacks against ground targets. The missiles, even in a land attack profile, still retains its flight altitude, and its datalinking capability.

Status: In mass production and entering service in Omzian Air Force, Omzian Naval Aviation, and Omzian Army and Marine Corps Coastal Defence Units.

Export: Not for general export, although a slightly degraded missile, with inferior electronic systems, is available for approved customers. Full version is only available to selected allies.

[Excellent aircraft! As always you go above and beyond expectations, Omz.]

OOC: What about the other aircraft? The competiton? IFD-7 is ready to go.

OOC: Sorry, but my week currently is a bit occupied (unit exam still is on the top of my list). If Adejaani's available for the flyoff on the 4th to the 7th, then I'll be gladly to participate in the flyoff. For now, basic stats:

Os-288A "Dreamfalcon" Prototype
Length: 16.8m
Wingspan: 10.11m main wing
Height: 5.88m
Maximum Weight: 119,000lb
Propulsion: Two Honjak Electrics HRA-220 turbofan with 43,000lbs of thrust each and 3D thrust vectoring
Maximum Speed: >Mach 2.54, Mach 1.9 supercruise
Ceiling: >67,000ft
G Limit: "Above 8Gs"
Range: 1700km combat radius (with expected load), 8600km ferry (with fuel tanks)
Payload: None (although a total of three bomb bays, 6 hardpoints, and provisions for a GRA-271 27mm cannon plus fuel tanks are available). Expected to be around
Airframe Structure: Titanium and aluminum alloys with various composites, with RAM materials, low-reflection/heat paint coating, and kevlar and carbon nanotube lightweight armor protection
Avionic Systems: Fly-by-optics and advanced HOTAS (hands on throttle and stick) with voice command software. Glass cockpit with wide angle HUD and Advanced Flight Control and Awareness Helmet (AFCAH) helmet-mounted sight systems. Provisions for LPI radar, IRST, and extensive ECM systems.

Also, SS, how many aircraft do you want to buy? Or do you want a domestic production license (though that would mean a negotiation with some kind of trade)?

OOC: That's fine, I just figure a "long play" (post when you can, doesn't matter if there's long breaks) RP would be adequate...

IFD-7 "Starfury" prototype

Length: 20.1m
Wingspan: 14.5m
Height: 5.2m
Max weight: 125,000 lb
Propulsion: Two AED-14 turbofan each with 45,000 lb thrust each
Max speed: Mach 1.7
Ceiling: 65,000 feet
Range: 1,400 km combat radius
Payload: (Represents maximum per single type item. Weapons listed from Adejaani inventory only. User's particular weapons loadouts may vary. Also should be noted are the use of removable pallet-mounts for ease of mounting weapons)

2x M61A2 Vulcan (gun)
10x AIM-120 AMRAAM
10x AIM-9 Sidewinder
6x AGM-84 Harpoon/SLAM/SLAM-ER
6x AGM-88 HARM
8x AGM-65 Maverick
10x CBU-87/97 cluster bombs
10x Mk-82/83/84 GP bombs
10x GBU-29/30/31/32 JDAMs

Additional notes:

Instead of fixed hardpoints, each aircraft has a multipurpose "velcro rack" to which pallets can be mounted for almost every piece of ordnance that will fit (much like the pallets for mounting AIM-54 Phoenix on the F-14 Tomcat).
Navy and Air Force models are completely interchangeable. For carrier operations, a limited "V/STOL" mode can be used to essentially slow the aircraft down to a slow speed and low altitude, although pilot training required is more extensive.
Adejaani indigenous ARS-4 radar is standard, as is avionics, though can be replaced with specified avionics and other equipment as requested.
No external hardpoints and ferry/drop tanks cannot be carried internally, though a small refueling probe is standard.
IFD-7 features two internal mounted guns, firing using the same camouflaged irising doors as on the F/A-22 Raptor.

We would like to buy 15 A-102 Stormbird jets. Money will be wired ASAP.

We would like to buy 15 A-102 Stormbird jets. Money will be wired ASAP.
For various reasons, the OMASC board has decided to deny the sale of fifteen (15) A-102E Stormbird ground attack aircraft on grounds of credibility and the nation's policy. As we feel that the sale of such aircraft to such nation would not provide too much benefit, we have determined that it is best to bar the sale for the time being. We are sorry for the inconvenience, and we are most certainly looking forward to export the aircraft to nations, by our standards, that are trustable enough by both the Omzian government and the Omzian military.

OMASC Sales Board

OOC: As a side note, I'd like people to do some more RPing when requesting to buy stuff here, please. Generally we don't export it to anyone and we will review the nation's previous actions and credibility, and rejections are not too rare.

Memo from AGI

Adejaani Government Industries announces that the IFD-7 "Starfury" has been redesignated AFD-7 (Adejaani Fighter Design Seven) and has begun limited production with the prototypes remaining in service for advanced testing.

[Nice fighters, both of you. Also, I'd like to note that as a general rule I like to negotiate domestic production liscences, it allows me to incorporate the things that I like to put into my aircraft with minimal fuss and no extra expense, plus it allows me to expand the IAF and INAC at will.]

[Nice fighters, both of you. Also, I'd like to note that as a general rule I like to negotiate domestic production liscences, it allows me to incorporate the things that I like to put into my aircraft with minimal fuss and no extra expense, plus it allows me to expand the IAF and INAC at will.]
OOC: Well, although this aircraft is designed with you in mind, my government and OMASC basically accepts two of the following (although that doesn't mean we will give out production licenses to a whole lot of other nations):

1. You state how many aircraft you want to produce (including attrition reserve in case your a/c gets shot down), and the OMASC Representive Board discusses a possible price plus a small royalty per aircraft produced. This can vary greatly, depending on how close we are together (allied closer=lower prices), how many aircraft you want to produce, and the role of the aircraft (obviously we'll request more if it is a strategic bomber with stealth tech). This could be the painless way if you have enough money, but basically you still have to pay money, and if you exceed the limit, we won't get happy (especially OMASC itself)

2. Trade of technology. Basically it is we give you our technology and you offer yours, in which we will select the most beneficial one for us. This could include a small amount of money added, but that's rare for allies and frequent customers of OMASC. It could be more painless if you have the tech to offer to us

3. Not really a true option, but you can place a bulk order. As a result, we'll either assemble the aircraft or give them to you in kit form (you just have to assemble them together). Although this could cost more money, the beiefit is that there isn't really much expenses on your part, since the most you'll get from this option is to assemble the fuselages and electronics together.

Also, for the fighters, depending on my current health (yes, I have the flu now), the flyoff may begin weekends as I will try hard to have it soon. I'll just need some more rest now...

[Well, I was thinking of a variation of 1 wherein I pay something like a 3% royalty on every aircraft produced. There are three reasons for this:

1) I tend to keep aircraft models in service for the NS equivilant of at least 100 years, which means I have to replace aircraft as needed.
2) I want the ability to expand the IAF if I see the need, without contractural negotiations with OMASC every time I want to do so.
3) If I enter a major war, the likelyhood is high that I'm going to need to build new aircraft to replace ones that are lost or too old to fight in a war effectively.

I swear I won't stiff you, besides the fact that I'm honest unless there is a good reason not to be, I intend for your and/or Adejaani's aircraft to eventually make up the entire IAF inventory. I couldn't very well fulfill that goal if I pissed you off by screwing you on a business deal, now could I?]

OOC:

And I do things a different way... I do it by subsidy... Sort of like a barter system. You give us raw materials, we give you the parts to build entire aircraft (of course, prod rights are already a given).

Basically... You produce airframes, throw in some raw materials (steel, iron, titanium etc) or other equipment to "sweeten the deal" like minerals, radar sets etc and we'll ship the kits to you, or sell you whole airframes for discounts plus the barter items.

That's probably the best way to do it, you produce half, we produce the rest and you can continue buying kits and spare parts so you can stockpile (think replacement parts, battle damage etc). If you choose to use them, you build the airframes, plug in the equipment and get more shipments.

If you produce the aircraft completely domestically, that's fine with us... Then it comes back to royalty.

[I have to import things like Titanium and Iron for processing and they generally go to the civilian market. Which is another reason for me to produce them locally: I use different metals and alloys than you guys do, the availability isn't there to upkeep aircraft made of steel and Ti alloy.]

OOC:

SS, those were just examples. The actual items to be bartered will be greatly different (and really, your choice). Entertainment videos, food, lumber, granite, honey, whatever you like.

What you're basically getting are aircraft for peanuts (we make up for the monetary difference because Adejaani has the money to burn).

It's really up to you. We can subsidise and sell you the parts and equipment for wholesale prices plus discount or you can manufacture them totally domestically (but at a higher cost to yourself).

It's whatever you really feel with. Just say "I want to do it this way" and we'll do it that way.

I am looking to replace my nation's F-14A Tomcat fleet. What would you suggest as a worthy replacement?

The F-14F Tomcat II, of course, which is similar to what the F/A-18E/F model Super Hornet is to the plain old A/B/C/D Hornet!

I have read the promotional materials on the F-14F and I am impressed. What would be the price tag for a force of 90 F-14Fs for my carrier groups?

I have read the promotional materials on the F-14F and I am impressed. What would be the price tag for a force of 90 F-14Fs for my carrier groups?
Under the normal unit pricing, it is expected that the F-14F will sell for an average of $50 million to foreign customers. However, as we are willing to approve the purchase of ninety F-14F Tomcat II fighters for general export, we expect with minor discounts and additional fees (such as delivery, maintenance equipment, etc.), the sale will go for $4.52 billion dollars.

If New Kiev still desires to purchase ninety units of such aircraft, we are willing to seal off the contract and approve the sale.

Memo from AGI

The AFD-7 design is a success! Both versions have performed beyond design expectations. The Naval version was the biggest worry. Stealth aircraft are fragile and it would simply not do to have the radar absorbing materials or the airframe (literally) breaking apart or chipping off upon heavy landings.

The 'limited V/STOL' mode requires a bit more training and nerves. Perhaps most interesting is AFD-7 incorporates air brakes, something not found on naval aircraft due to their unique landing form. However, as AFD-7 is identical in both Naval and Air Force versions, the air brake is included.

For landing, flaps and air brakes are deployed, plus the thrusters give a small amount of downward thrust. With the brakes gently deployed, AFD-7 aircraft then make a short landing roll.

For carrier takeoffs, a small STOL roll is utilised instead of a catapult launch, though it requires almost of the carrier's length to do this roll (much like a conventional runway).

Perhaps the most interesting feature of AFD-7 has been the thrusters. During testing, the 'flying wing' has been known to become unstable at certain angles, often causing major spins, which take a very calm pilot and trusting the flight control software which advises the pilot how to correct it.

However, this is also used as a tactic! Pilots sometimes deliberately initiate multi-vector in-place spins which actually causes radar locks to break (due to the 'hit' of the radar beam and then deflection due to the random angles).

What's the bad news? The bad news is, the spins, because of their multi-vector nature, mean pilots become rather disoriented. Even senior combat veterans find themselves becoming nauseated, so the spins should only be used as a last resort... As is eating before flying the AFD-7!

Money wired. It has been good doing business with you.

Memo from AGI

AGI (Adejaani Government Industries) is beginning a program for a cheap lightweight fighter which is cheap, affordable and capable. Envisioned to be somewhere in the performance range of the F-16 Falcon or F/A-18 Hornet, though cheaper.

Generally, this new aircraft will combine features of both and is intended for sale to new nations seeking a cheap multirole fighter. For more developed nations, this fighter would serve as a capable Air National Guard (or equivalent agency) fighter requiring minimal maintenance and training for national defense purposes.

Memo from AGI

The new lightweight fighter program has been designated IFD-9 (Indigenous Fighter Design Nine) and the requirements are being written and the design is progressing well.

However, we call upon any parties interested in IFD-9 if they want to make a carrier version, in which case the design may be modified accordingly.

Type 190 and 320 Rocket Artillery Bombardment System

Introduction:
The Type 190 and 320 Rocket Artillery Bombardment Systems (RABS) are a series of newly developed 190mm and 320mm rocket artillery system designed to augment the 227mm MLRS rockets and the ATACMS missiles in both ground-based and sea-based rocket artillery bombardment of enemy ground targets. Designed as a companion for medium-to-large calibre ship-based gun systems (most notably 8" and 16" systems found on Omzian vessels), the RABS series is also suitable for shore bombardment, complementing the gun-based firepower. While still keeping its low cost and simplicity, the RABS includes a series of new propulsion and control technologies. Although at the current time being only naval-based launchers and the rocket themselves has been deployed in Omzian service, it is expected that a series of ground-based launchers for this rocket, including a large tracked launcher, a smaller wheeled launcher, and a launched based on a heavily modified M1A2 Abrams chassis, will also be unveiled soon.

Mk.190/191 Ship-Based Armored Launcher
Capacity: 12x Type 190M rockets (Mk.190), 26x Type 190M rockets (Mk.191)
Platforms: Small to medium sized vessels (Mk.190), large sized vessels (Mk.191)
Rate of Fire: ~1-2 round/second
These launchers are for the naval deployment of the Type 160 rocket. Coming in two different sizes, the Mk.190 is to be used on lighter vessels such as frigates and destroyers, and the mcuh bigger Mk.191 is to be used on cruisers, battleships, and in some cases, large destroyers. These launchers are lightly armored, with a fire extinguishing system and various "blast shielding" system to reduce the effect of secondary explosions and damages. The launchers can also rotate to a limited extent to fire in different directions. These launchers are linked to onboard fire control systems, and can be tied to a fire finding type radar, allowing it to not only engage nearby ground targets, but also sea-based targets to a limited extent. Taking advantage of the Fast Firing System, the launcher has an impressive ROF. Reloading can be "semi-automatic" or manual.
Cost: $3.6 million (Mk.190), $4.1 million (Mk.191)

Type 190M1 RABS Rocket
Weight: 280kg
Length: 3.87m
Diameter: 190mm
Range: >45km
Guidance: Trajectory Correction System
Propulsion: Rocket Scramjet
Warhead: Interchangable Warhead System (INWARS), including 96kg HE-Frag unitary warhead, fuel-air explosive (FAE), smoke, WP, 580 N98 DPICM submunition, 5 IATS (Indirect Attack Submunition), 5 DATS (Direct Attack Submunition), 22 N68 anti-tank mine, 1 Noran NJ28 radio jammer, or 1 Noran Minibird reconaissance UAV
Platform: Modified MLRS (14) or HIMARS (8), Mk.190 and Mk.191 ship-based launchers
The Type 190M1 system is a new and revolutionary launched rocket artillery system, designed to engage surface targets from long distances away. Although smaller and slightly lighter and shorter, the Type 160 still offer many advantages over the standard MLRS rocket. One of the main improvements includes a completely redesigned body, with a smaller diameter but a much more ligher and stronger body made of various materials. The simple rocket motor of the MLRS has been replaced with an advanced hybrid rocket-ramjet system, and uses new high-energy fuel. There is no guidance, but a simple trajectory correction system has been added, providing the rocket with a slightly higher accuracy. But perhaps the most revolutionary component of the rocket is the Interchangable Warhead System (INWARS), which provide crews with the capability to replace warheads on the field, as opposed of sorting out different rockets of different types of rockets with different warheads. Aside from the standard HE-Frag, FAE, and smoke/WP warheads, the rocket can also handle the following:
580 N98 DPICM: Not too different from the older DPICM submunitions, this version improves the blast radius, along with better fragmenting characteristics, and a much reduced "dud rate", minimalizing unnecessary damage.
5 IATS (Indirect Attack Submunition): The IATS is a new series of "smart" submunitions, designed to engage both soft and hard targets, mostly vehicles. It consists of a tri-mode guidance system (IR, MMW radar, acoustic) and an EFP (explosively formed projectile) penetrator. Once released, the IATS can either glide to a preset location with its parachute, or glide down directly and begin to search for targets with its IR and acoustic sensors. Once the target is found, the MMW radar would also be activated, and soon fire the EFP penetrator towards the top of the target.
5 DATS (Direct Attack Submunition): The DATS is more or less a variant of the IATS, with the same sensor suite but also with a pair of rocket motors, and either a dual-stage penetrator or a three-stage shaped charge warhead for attacking vehicles, although the shaped charge warhead also has limited use against other targets. The submunition would glide at a higher altitude than the IATS, and once its target is found, the rocket motor would fire as the submunition would travel at more tham Mach 1, before diving onto the the top of the vehicle with its warhead.
22 N68 Anti-tank Mine: The N68 anti-tank mine is an improved version of the Gator, with a parachute, allowing to glide, and with a self-destruct feature (after a set amount of time). The mine uses magnetic and IR sensors, along with a pressure plate system.
1 Noran NJ28 Radio Jammer: The NJ28 parachute deployed radio jammer is a battery powered jammer designed to disrupt and harass common forms of enemy communications, and will operate for hours before it runs out of power and crash, or turn off after a set amount of time.
1 Noran Minibird Reconaissance UAV: This is a small "micro-air vehicle" UAV for short-endurance photoreconissance. The light drone, made of composite materials, consists of a small parachute (to help it glide), along with an electrical motor. The electrical motor operates on batteries and small solar power cells. It can operate 3 to 6km beyond its release point, and can loiter and transfer real-time black and white imagery (from a tiny high resolution vieo camera) for about 20 to 30 minutes, before it self-destructs using a small explosive charge. However, a huge disadvantage of such UAV is its extremely low max altitude and delicate nature.
The rocket is current deployed on modified MLRS and HIMARS, though a variety of other ground-based launchers are in development.
Cost: $18,000 per rocket. As with other rockets, these are unloaded, but one warhead of any specified type is included with the rocket free of charge.

Type 190M2 Guided, Extended-Range RABS Rocket (GERABS)
Weight: 280kg
Range: >80km
Guidance: Inertial with GPS
Warhead: INWARS system with 78kg HE-Frag, FAE, smoke, WP, 460 N98 DPICM, 3 IATS, 3 DATS, 16 N68 anti-tank mine, 1 NJ28 jammer, or 1 Minibird UAV
An extended range version of the Type 190M1, and is nearly identical to it. A guidance system is installed, giving the rocket with much mroe accuracy. Additionally, range is increased by a large fraction, though payload is reduced.
Cost: $36,000 per rocket

Mk.320 and Mk.321 Ship-Based Armored Launcher
Capacity: 8x Type 320M (Mk.320), 16x Type 320M (Mk.321)
ROF: ~1 round/second
These launchers are variants of their Type 160M counterparts, and although larger with fewer rockets, they offer more firepower with the large Type 320M rockets.
Cost: $3.6 million (Mk.320), $4.1 million (Mk.321)

Type 320M1 RABS Rocket
Weight: 790kg
Length: 7.4m
Diameter: 320mm
Range: >72km
Guidance: Trajectory Correction System
Propulsion: Rocket Scramjet
Warhead: Interchangable Warhead System, including 180kg HE-Frag unitary warhead, fuel-air explosive (FAE), smoke, WP, 920 N98 DPICM, 9 IATS, 9 DATS, 38 N68 anti-tank mine, 2 NJ28 radio jammer, 1 Darkbird UAV, or 2 Minibird UAV

The Type 320M1 is basically a enlarged version of the Type 190M series, but with a much more larger load, along with a more advanced rocket-scramjet system. Over the smaller rockets, each launch units holds less rockets, but they offer much more firepower. The rocket can also carry a variety of other payloads:
1 Dark Bird UAV: The Dark Bird UAV is a cross between the "mini-air vehicle" UAVs such as the Black Widow and the small-sized man-portable type reconaissance UAVs such as the Skylark. Because of the bigger size, this UAV's capabilities are much higher than the Minibird's. It is able to loiter for more than 60 minutes at a distance 8 to 12km away from its release point, and the electrical motor is much more powerful, with electricty being provided by better batteries and small solar power cells. Real time imagery is provided by a set of black and white and colour video cameras, or a FLIR sensor. Unlike the Minibird, this UAV can operate in various weather conditions at a much higher altitude, before destroying itself with a small explosive charge as it runs out of electricity.
Cost: $29,000 per rocket

Type 320M2 GERABS Rocket

Type 155A1/A2/A3 Guided Rocket Assisted Projectile (GURAP)
Diameter: 155mm (6.1") for A1 and A2 models, 127mm (5") for A3 model
Range: 85km (A1 model), 180km (A2 model), or 128km (A3 model)
Guidance: Anti-jam GPS with GPS/satellite signal jammer homing and radar homing sensors
Platform: Ground-based 155mm howitzer (A1 model), 6.1" naval AGS and equivalent (A2 model), 5" naval guns and equivalent (A3 model)
Propulsion: Rocket-ramjet motor
Payload: HE (all models), 78 N98 (A1 and A2 models) or 68 N98 DPICM (A3 model), 5 IATS/DATS (A1 and A2) or 3 IATS/DATS (A3)

The Type 155 series consists of three different "smart" rocket-assisted artillery rounds, designed to be fired from 5" and 6.1" guns for special long-ranged attacks where it would be more beneficial than the much cheaper and unguided rounds. These are similar to the ERGM as it fratures a GPS guidance system along with home-on-GPS-jam features, but it is more cheaper, effective, and uses more advanced control surfaces (including new pop-up airbrakes, fins, and small thrust-vectoring nozzles) and battery system, along with a anti-radiation seeker and a new hybrid rocket-ramjet system. Because of this, this round is suitable for long-ranged attacks against enemy ground targets where accuracy is also required. The rocket-ramjet allows the round to achieve a new level in range, while the round can have a variety of payloads, including standard HE filler or submunitions.
Cost: $43,000. Additionally, on customer's request, an export version with a 152mm diameter is also available- for use on Soviet-designed 152mm artillery.

Type 120A1/A2 Guided Mortar Fired Munition (GMFIM)
Diameter: 120mm (Type 120A1), 155mm (Type 120A2)
Guidance: MMW radar and IR, or laser seeker, or command through fiber optic link
Platform: 120mm and 155mm mortar, including OMASC Type M155 heavy mortar
Payload: HE

the Type 120 series of guided mortar munitions are a series of new "smart" heavy mortar rounds, designed to be fired from the large 120mm and the even bigger 155mm mortars, in order to provide ground troops with a capability to attack enemy targets with percision in special cases. The mortar shells is similar in appearance of the standard shells, but has enlarged fins and control surfaces, and a guidance system consisting of a MMW radar and IR sensor system or a laser seeker. The "fire-and-forget" capable sensors could be also turned off instead, allowing the operator to "command" the mortar through a fiber-optic datalink system and a small video camera aboard. The round is compatible with standard 120mm and 155mm mortars.
Cost: $7900

AGI announces AFD-9 Wasp

The AFD-9 (Adejaani Fighter Design Nine) Wasp was designed as a cheap lightweight fighter for cash strapped (or freshly started) air forces and while perhaps not as spectacular, it is cost effective and is adaptable for a wide range of uses.

The first place to start was the F-16A/B/C/D Falcon and F/A-18A/B/C/D Hornet. Both were designed as lightweight multirole fighters, but were being phased out in favor of newer designs with more modern equipment.

AFD-9 thus shoehorned an upgraded F-16 package into an airframe of the F-17, the undeveloped predecessor to the F/A-18. Fly by optics, "glass" cockpits and numerous minor upgrades to the airframe and avionics makes this an extremely agile aircraft with a slightly better performance envelope, payload capacity and range greater than the F-16.

What should be noted as interesting is the lack of a LANTIRN or similar targeting pod. Part of that design philosophy was a cheap fighter for newly starting air forces. Thus, one MIP computer (similar to that of the F/A-22 Raptor) is included. By calculating speed, wind direction, altitude and a number of other factors, an advanced onboard AI calculates the flight path of unguided bombs and the best release point.

This AI delivery system thus allows the pilot to fly the plane to the target and let the AI function as the weapons system operator. Further, because the air to ground ordnance of the AFD-9 is completely unguided "iron bombs", valuable and scarce defense dollars are saved and operating costs for the unit are far lower.

Unit cost per AFD-9 is $18 million.

EV-22C Osprey Eye Tiltrotor AWACS Aircraft

Crew: 7
Propulsion: Two Honjak Electrics Bonares-R turboshafts at 6620shp takeoff
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 65,800lb (29,846kg)
Speed: 590kph airplane mode, 201kph helicopter mode
Ceiling: 28,000ft
Radar: Noran Systems OAN/APY-62 airborne radar with >460-580km range at standard operating altitudes

The EV-22C Osprey Eye is an Omzian-upgraded V-22C Osprey modified for AWACS missions. Correcting the deficencies of the older designs and adding the new features, although bigger than the EF-35W and takes more space on a light carrier, the EV-22C's sensor is much more powerful, and the aircraft's performance as a combat support unit has allowed the EV-22C to be a worthy complement for the E-2C Hawkeye, which operates from larger carriers. Various modifications has been applied to the aircraft, including a more capable engine system with better medium-to-high altitude capabilities, slightly enlarged body, and slightly better flight characteristics. The inside of the aircraft has been vastly rearranged to accomdate a crew of seven, along with necessary radar and communications equipment. The centerpiece of the aircraft is the Noran Systems OAN/APY-62 airborne radar, which surpasses the capabilities of those on the "Hawkeye 2000" and even to some extent, the ones on the E-2E "Advanced Hawkeye" in Omzian service. The APY-62 combines some LPI characteristics with a higher capability for countering stealthy aircraft and missiles, and also provides better low-altitude target detection capabilities than those of the E-2C. Like the E-2C, the aircraft can theoretically track over than 2000 hostile targets, and the greater crew and automation allows the EV-22C to assist in the interception of more than 50 targets, and the aircraft has an advanced communication and datalink system to do so. The radar range at standard operating altitudes is similar to those of the E-2, although it should be noted that the EV-22C is not a replacement for the E-2C, but rather a companion for it that is able to operate from light carriers, and in some cases, rough airfields.

Cost: The aircraft is available for selected allied customers at $102 million. A conversion from the standard V-22C, which includes new engines and some critical parts of the V-22C upgrade plus the features on the EV-22C, is $41 million.

E-35Z STOVL AWACS Aircraft, "Mark II" Upgrade

Crew: 3 (Pilot and two radar operators)
Propulsion: Honjak Electrics SRA228 Turbofans with liftfan system, with 49,000lbs thrust
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 61,000lb (27,669kg)
Speed: Mach 2.0
Range (Combat Radius): 1200km
Radar: Honjak Electrics OAN/APG-120 ELPI (Extremely Low Probability of Intercept) radar with >460km range, Noran Systems OAN/APG-166 ELPI radar pod with >350-400km range for rear scanning
Backup Armament: 2x AIM-120N AMRAAM "2005"

Following the deployment of the E-35W "STOVL AWACS", which are deployed aboard light carriers, the Omzian Navy immediately began to note several deficencies on the aircraft. At first, the size of the nose and the aircraft only allowed the E-35W to carry a radar of a smaller size than expected. However, because of this, it has also been proved that because of this limitation, the radar and the avionics made the aircraft incapable of operating effectively as a light carrier-based "mini AWACS" aircraft.

The result? The E-35Z "Mark II" upgrade. The E-35Z is better than the E-35W in both aspects of sensors and flight performance. The airframe has been slightly enlarged, along with the nose, to accept advanced avionics and new radar systems. However, one of the internal bays have been brought back, and so did a 27mm Mauser cannon, although the bay now can hold only two AIM-120N missiles for self-defence, or fuel tanks instead. However, the most important upgrade is the new "ELPI" radars which replaces the weaker HER-15Cs, with new features and improved strength to withstand STOVL landings. Similar in size but with improved performances, the forward-looking APG-120 and the rearward looking pod-mounted APG-166 radars gives the aircraft with a capability to track over 50 to 60 targets, and assist in the engagement of more than 6 of them, through an advanced datalink and communication suite. Because of this, an additional operator, who is sitting behind the first radar operator, has been added to use the radars and datalinks to their maximum capacity. When compared to the E-35W, the E-35Z over-performs it in ever aspect, and provides light carrier battlegroups with a more capable fleet defence capability.

Cost: The aircraft is available to allies at $62 million. An upgrade from the E-35W, with some upgrades such as the radar and avionics but without the structural and flight performance upgrades, named the E-35ZL "Mark Two Lite" upgrade, is also available to allies at $14 million. Similar conversions for allied users of F-35B is available at $30 million.

Crew: 2 (Pilot and RIO)
Propulsion: 2x Honjak Electrics HEK-186 turbofans at 46,000lbs each with 3D thrust vectoring
Empty Weight: 40,620lb (18,424kg)
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 88,000lb (39,916kg)
Ceiling: 62,000ft
Speed: Mach 1.5 supercruise, Mach 2.7 max
Range: 3800km ferry, 1500km combat radius (without fuel tanks)
Armament: 1x 27mm cannon, 9x hardpoints with a total of 14,506lb (6580kg) of loads
G-Rating: ~8.5-10G

The Tomcat Plus is the long-awaited upgrade for the aging F-14F Tomcat II. At first an independent and private venture by OMASC's Paklon design bureau, this upgrade takes a huge step towards modernizing the aging F-14F, which later attracted the Omzian Navy's attention greatly. When compared to the F-14F, it is superior in every way, including flight performance, range, detection systems, and weapon systems. The aircraft itself is now made of a combination of titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, and composite materials, with even a small amount of kevlar and buckytube-based lightweight materials added for additional protection from shrapnel and small arms fire, which makes the aircraft stronger, more agile, lighter, and able to carry a larger load. However, one of the main change of the aircraft is the lengthened fuselage, in order to accomdate additional conformal and other internal fuel tanks for precision attack missions. Because of this, the hardpoints on the aircraft are arranged so one more hardpoint could be added. The aircraft also has a modified wing structure, and keeps the modified glove vanes on the F-14F in order to improve supersonic performance and speed. A notable amount of RAM and shapings are done, with new shapings around the engine inlets and nozzles, the control surfaces, and the front of the fuselage, and new RAM materials and coatings to further reduce the RAM of the aircraft, making the RCS "only a portion of those of the F/A-18Es". A pair of new HEK-186s turbofans at a whopping 49,000lbs each, are added to provide much more power, while the 3D thrust vectoring features has been improved in terms of maintenance problems and in-flight performance. The fly by optics system has also been improved, as flight crews had reported serious maintenance problems with the optical wires involved in the system. Furthermore, not only does all of the pylons include stealthy shapings to decrease RCS when carrying stealthy attack munitions, but some of the pylons are even rotatable, being able to fire SRAAMs and MRAAMs rearward.

The avionics and weapons systems has also been improved. Although air-to-surface attack capabilities are much improved, the main emphatisis has been on the F-14G's fleet defence capabilities. One of the main upgrades is the Honjak Electrics OAN/APG-121 ELPI radar, which is a variation of those on the E-35Z and the F-105C/D, and consists of a forward-looking radar and a rearward-looking radar sensor. Capabilities includes the capability of tracking more than "three to four dozens" of targets beyond ranges "of between 300 to 500km", and engaging between "6 to 12" targets at the same time. As evident, stealth-detection, low altitude aircraft detection, ECM and jamming resistance and LPI capabilities are much better than the outdated APG-77 radar on the F-14F, along with the limited active jamming feature that the radar shares with the APG-77. A new dedicated air tracking IRST, by Noran systems, also has been added with multiple target track capabilities, limited multiple target engagement capabilities, stronger resistance against the new "active IR stealth" and countermeasures systems installed on aircraft (such as electrochromic panels), and even limited target recongition capability. Aided with an advanced helmet-mounted sight, glass cockpit, experimental helmet-mounted voice command and 360 degrees view systems, and an advanced datalink system, the pilot and the RIO receives a much better situational awareness capability than those piloting older F-14s. The aircraft is also fully capable of carrying both AIM-315As and AIM-315Es, with the F-14G being able to carry a grand total of 6 AIM-315As or 3 of the longer AIM-315Es. These capabilities allows the pilot to outperform the F-14F in both long range air-to-air engagements, and short-range dogfights. Even further, the 20mm cannon has been replaced by an improved version of the 27mm Mauser cannon, which is placed internally and is shielded by a stealthy "door" system, and is capable of both air-to-air and air-to-grond engagements. Further, additional gun pods, primarily additional 27mm ones, can also be carried, though this is rare. These features all make the F-14G excel in interception of fighters, bombers, and even cruise missiles.

Air-to-surface attack capabilities, especially all weather capabilities, are also improved. Not only is the aircraft now capable of carrying multiple bomb racks holding SDBs and various GPS-guided 500lb bombs, and with each of these stealthy and - for some, rotatable - pylons being able to carry much heavier payloads than ever. In addition to the LANTIRN capability retained, the aircraft now carries an internally-mounted Noran Systems FLIR/LLTV (Low Light TV) system, along with an integrated laser designator, providing the pilot and RIO with improved night attack capabilities. Furthermore, the F-14G now is also fully capable of carrying the CSJMI-OMASC AGM-234B Bankarit missiles for maritime attack, in which up to two can be carried, with datalinking capabilities already integrated. Reconaissance capabilities are alsi improved, as not only can the aircraft carry the standard TARPS-Digital, but also a variety of other pods, including a side-looking radar and a rumored ELINT system. Countermeasures protection includes a variation of the Noran systems COWS system, which provides radar jamming, radar and ladar (LAser Detection And Ranging) warning, missile launch warning, and decoy carriage (in the form of towed decoys, small chaff and flare dispensers, and two "chaff boxes" carrying over a hundred chaff that are all to be dispensed instantly).

Cost: Available to allies at $65 million dollars per aircraft as base price. A direct upgrade from the F-14F named the F-14FB "Tomcat Plus Lite", with the new avionics and wepaon carriage systems, plus the RAM materials and engines, but without the main fuselage modification, is available to allies for $15 million.

A-6H Invader All-Weather Ground Attack Aircraft

Length: 17.45m
Height: 4.98m
Wingspan: 16.67m
Crew: 2
Propulsion: Honjak Electrics HEK-106B Lite turbofans w/ 27,500lb thrust each
Empty Weight: 13,000kg (28,660lb)
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 30,200kg (66,579lb)
Ceiling: 53,000ft
Speed: Mach 0.93
Range: 5800km ferry, 2100km with maximum payload
Armament: 1x 27mm cannon, 5x wing and 2x wingtip stations for 9100kg (20,062lb), each main wing station rated at 2200kg, with provisions for 2x SRAAMs each or 1x MRAAMs each.

As with the F-14G, the A-6H Invader was originally a private venture, but which then caught the attention of the Omzian Navy, who are looking for an upgrade for the outdated A-6E and even the A-6G. Not to be confused with the WWII bomber aircraft of the same name, the nature of the upgrade is very similar to the F-14G upgrade from the F-14F and the proposed A-6F Intruder II upgrade, although it takes the A-6 towards a new level. The A-6H combines avionics upgrades with a radically redesigned and enlargened airframe. The airframe, made of primarily composites and a portion of standard titanium and aluminum materials, with kevlar and buckytube-based lightweight armor added in critical locations to provide protection against small shrapnels and small arms fire, while the light titanium armouring on the A-6F has been replaced with a combination of lightweight titanium and composite plates. The fuselage and the wing has been enlargened and widened to provide two new wingtip stations for the carriage of two short range AAMs or one medium range AAM each, in addition to small conformal and other internal fuel tanks to provide more range, and a 27mm cannon for both self-protection and ground attack, providing more punch than the older 20mm. As with the F-14G and the A-6F, various stealth features has been added, including minor shapings around engine inlets and the fuselage, the addition of RAM materials and coatings, and the new "stealthy" pylon designs, to give it a lower RCS. The older engines are also replaced with a pair of slightly smaller version of the reliable HEK-106 turbofans, which provides more thrust while still keeping the small size. A pair of new nozzles are added, with limited 2D thrust vectoring, which are primarily intended to provide a shorter takeoff distance. The engines also features advanced survivability features, including limited self-foaming capabilities, advanced fire warning system, and a small Halon-based fire extinguishing system.

The avionics and weapons suite has been much improved. Among a number of new additions and deletions, a Noran Systems APG-211 multimode ELPI radar has been added to provide the A-6H with extensive ground attack, navigation, and sea search capabilities, along with limited air search and engagement capabilities. This has made the DIANE bombing system on earlier A-6 models completely unnecessary. a pod system similar to the TRAM is integrated into the aircraft, with the stealthy pod being near the middle of the aircraft, holding a FLIR sensor, a LLTV (low light TV) nightvision system, and even a small ladar (LAser Detection and Ranging) system with laser designation capabilities, used exclusively for ground attack, is present in the pod with a range of "more than 40km". Because of this, LANTIRN and LITENING systems has proven unnecessary. These allows a variety of precision ground attack munition and fuel tanks to be carried, mostly on racks mounted on the heavy-load pylons under the wings. The CSJMI-OMASC AGM-234B Bankarit missile can also be carried, in which currently up to two can be carried. Among the other avionic systems, a fly-by-optic system has been added, along with a new glass cockpit, a wide-angle HUD for the pilot's position, an advanced helmet-mounted sight, and an advanced datalink system, giving the pilots unprecedented situational awareness. the ECM suite is similar to the COWS, in which it includes a radar jammer, radar and ladar warning systems, missile launch warning systems, and chaff and flare dispensers (including a pair of flare and chaff "boxes" each holding about 100 chaff or 26 flares), and optionally, a towed decoy system.

Cost: Available to approved nations, at a price of $54 million. An upgrade of the Adejaani A-6F and another upgrade for those with the original A-6Es, with the new avionic systems and engines but without the fuselage modifications (which includes the addition of two wingtip stations) are available for $12 million. A KA-6H variant, with refueling pods and a fuel capacity of approximately 16,000kg of fuel, is also available for $48 million. An "EA-6H" variant with new jammer pods by Noran systems are in the works, and are to be released soon.

OOC: Gah, must you take my two favorite aircraft (I developed) within this storefront and better them yourself?! :p Seriously, Omz, brilliant work. I'll be building a fair lot of the new F-14Hs and A-6Hs for use immediately. :D

OOC: Gah, must you take my two favorite aircraft (I developed) within this storefront and better them yourself?! :p Seriously, Omz, brilliant work. I'll be building a fair lot of the new F-14Hs and A-6Hs for use immediately. :D
OOC: Ah, thanks. Still a lot more to do though (including my new B-101 variants and the F-125 upgrade, plus the cruise missiles as promised). The F-14Gs and A-6Hs though, are actually intended to fill the gap until I get some new aircraft that will eliminate the F-14s and A-6s altogether. I do prefer F-14s and A-6s over F/A-18s, but the matter of fact is that they are just too old when they reach the limit :(

OOC: True, but that's why we're making new variants. We could of course go for "similar airframe" but almost total redesign, like I did with the A-12/AFD-7. That was a near complete technology leap in an old airframe design.

Though I am of course going to bar you from messing with that. You can borrow the thruster concept, but that's purely 100% my brainchild and I am freaking well copyrighting it. :p I haven't seen anyone (so far) with a similar concept either so I'm proud of it! :p

[Are you guys going to do the fly-off or what?]

OMASC Announces New Medium Bomber in Development

KANZE (DefenceNewsOmz Dakarie Year 63) - OMASC has officially announced today that a new medium bomber aircraft is in the making, to fulfill a requirement proposed by the Omzian Air Force. The bomber, right now with the designation XB-106, is expected to be a supersonc, medium-to-long ranges, stealthy aircraft designed to arry precision glide weapons and missiles, to strike enemy targets deep within their lines.

"As we haven't even gone beyond the prototype stages yet, we are currently still trying to figure out the features on the aircraft, though with several basic designs and sketches completed, we are sure that the requirements can be met," an unidentified OMASC Representive Boards member revealed. "We are projecting a number of features, including reduced sonic boom, a possible tailless design, and various new forms of active infrared signature reduction technologies. While the bomber is still in the early stages, we are projecting a full scale mockup to be built within a few months, and perhaps a prototype withn a year, and with full scale production expected at Dakarie Year 70, which is about 7 years later."

Range (unrefueled): 4800km with full load
Speed: Mach 3.1 max at high altitudes with typical load, Mach 3.3 empty, Mach 2+ cruise, Mach 1.4 supercruise (without afterburner)
Payload: Up to 72,000kg (158,732lb) of strike munitions (missile, other guided munitions) in three bomb bays and two "mini-bays" on rotary launchers or SFR racks, up to:

Main Bomb Bays

- 8 AGM-321B/C Meteor (8060-8109kg each, three each in two bays, two in one bay)
- 12 CSJMI-OMASC AGM-286A Lightning Bolt (6000kg each, 4 in three bays)
- 3 BLU-200A/B Deep Bolt (18,200-19,300kg each, 1 per bay)
- 36 AGM-86C/D CALCM (1450-1950kg AGM-86C, 12 per bay)
- 48 BGM-322 Dagger (1428kg each, 16 per bay)
- 60 BGM-323 Little Dagger (928kg each, 20 per bay)
- 66 AGM-84F/L/K Harpoon/SLAM-ER (635 to 725kg each, 22 per bay)
- 36 CSJMI-OMASC AGM-234B Bankarit (2000kg each, 12 per bay)
- 66 AGM-136 Tacit Rainbow (22 per bay)
- 45 Type 16 Lightweight Attack Drones (Wings folded, 15 per bay)

"Mini Bays"

-6 AGM-88 HARM/AARGM and equivalents (3 each bay)
-6 AIM-120 AMRAAM and equivalents (3 each bay)
-2-4 medium fuel tanks (2-4 each bay)
-6-8 ADM-141 and ADM-160 decoys and equivalents (3 to 4 each bay)

A new variant of the B-101A, the B-101B is designed to be a medium-range, theatre-wide operation maritime bomber, tasked with the destruction of large enemy naval forces. Building on the B-101A "Block II" upgrade which incorporates new engines with new ECM suites, new stress-resistant parts, and RAM materials, the B-101B is much different as its primary role is to destroy enemy naval forces using launched munition over medium-ranges, at various altitudes depending on the battle plan. Because of this, the bomber's internal spaces are carefully rearranged to carry a standard load of more than a whopping 150,000lbs, while still making sure that the fuel tanks can store enough fuel for this bomber to make a 5200km journey at maximum, before making a Mach 3 dash back home.

Weapons and avionics systems are major focuses of this modification. Although the bomber is still capable of carrying other ground-attack munitions, it is primarily designed to carry a variety of dual-mode ground attack/anti-ship, dedicated anti-ship, and even radiation missiles, which all plays a role in the destruction of enemy naval forces nearby, threatening the integrity of a nation's home soil. Also because of this, additional avionics has been added, primarily datalinking, ocean surveillance, and ocean navigation equipment, to improve the B-101B's performance as a dedicated maritime bomber. Because of some of the complexity involved in certain maritime strikes, a fourth bombardier can be carried, who will manage communications, datalinking. He or she also some parts of the improved Noran Systems COWS-IIB ECM system, which is a much improved version of the COWS on the YF-125C and the B-101A, but includes additional capabilities against AEGIS-like and even surface search radars aboard enemy ships. Together, these all make the B-101B an ideal maritime bomber, and is a worthy companion for the CSJMI-OMASC B-52J and B-1D to form a powerful regional maritime strike force.

Cost: Available to allies for $480 million. Conversion from the B-101A, which inclues all the features present in the B-101B plus the Block II upgrade for the B-101A, is available for $24 million.

The FB-101 Halberd is another modification of the B-101A bomber, based on the B-101A "Block II" upgrade. This design clearly reflects the complications and dangers involved in various different conflicts seen everywhere, where forces would send massive fleets of aircraft. Elsewhere, a massive volley of cruise missiles would be fired, overwhelming not only SAMs but also fighter aircraft, such as F/A-22s equipped with AIM-120C-7s, assigned to cruise missile defence. The B-1Cs can still ease the threats caused by these different types of attacks, as it could "wash off" a portion of the enemy forces with its huge volley of medium-range missiles fired, but it has also been determined that not only the B-1C in many situations is too slow (and therefore vulnerable) for such type of attacks, its datalinking and communication capabilities with other air units are much lower. Because of this, it has been determined that a new anti-air platform is needed. As a result of a requirement set by the Omzian Air Force seeking a new "massive standoff anti-air platform" with "acceptable speed and altitude capabilities", the design team who had designed the B-101A decided to take a step up and submit their proposal. The result - the FB-101 Halberd. As with the original proposal, the FB-101 Halberd is an extensively modified B-101A with the standard anti-air capabilities of the B-1C, but is also quite different as not only can the aircraft carry more missiles along with a much more powerful detection and ECM suite, but the missile is also fully capable of carrying a variety of anti-radiation missiles.

As usual, there are only minor airframe modifications, and aside from the Block II upgrade that upgrades the engines, the electrochromic plates, the RAM materials, and some of the temperature-resistant parts, only the internal spaces are arranged. Because of the role, some bombing equipment and other unnecessary eqipments are sacrificed for the extensive avionics aboard. Because of this, not only is now the airframe lighter, but additional kevlar and heat-resistant materials are added to provide more protection against both shrapnel and high temperature, as the FB-101 would often make a Mach 3 dash home. Additional conformal tanks also has been added to provide the aircraft with higher performance, range, and endurance. The front of the fuselage also has been modified to accomdate a larger radar, an additional crew, and larger equipment needed for its missions.

The avionic systems also takes a step forward, as although other precision ground attack capabilities in these bombers are still retained with the FLIR pods being kept (though the FB-101 can't carry full load anymore), the aircraft's avionics focuses on the anti-air and SEAD (suppression of enemy air defences) capabilities. One of the major upgrades is the new Honjak Electrics APG-210 ELPI radar suite, which includes the APG-210A forward-looking radar mounted in a nose, and the rearward-looking sensor mounted in a pod. The APG-210, although retaining extensive ground-attack capabilities, is primarily geared to air search, as at high altitudes the aircraft is able to "track more than five dozen targets and engage over two [dozen targets]... at a range of more than 450 kilometers". This gives the FB-101 extensive air-to-air detection capabilities, and only the computing power of the data-processing and databuses aboard the aircraft limits this. An extensive data-processing and computer suite complements this, along with an even more extensive jam-proof datalinking and satellite communication systems, allowing the operators onboard not only interception these air targets, but also acts as a mini-AWACS in such a way that it would assist other fighters. Furthermore, an additional Noran Systems IRST infrared tracking system is added, which is even more powerful than what OMASC has created before, and combines improved anti-countermeasures capabilities with new target track and engagement capabilities. To improve the SEAD role, the centerpiece of this are the extensive Noran Systems COWS-IIA ECM suite, which combines a very powerful radar jammer suite with various radar and ladar warning capabilities, missile launch warning capabilities, and decoy employing capabilities, as the COWS-IIC also provides the crew with exceptional situation awareness capability, along with a 360 degrees engagement capability for anti-radiation missiles.

Cost: Available to selected allies for $430 million each. Conversion to the FB-101 modification from a standard B-101A requires $45 million dollars.

OOC Notes:
* - It is indeed a fact that this bomber can hold more MRAAMs than listed, but for the sake of RP and ICly some "engineering difficulties" to support that ICly, I have put a cap on the number of missiles, though I'd imagine people will modify this thing to carry 100+ MRAAMs. However, although it is indeed possible, only the people who procures this model will be informed.
** - The bomber is also configured to carry AIM-315Es, but that's classified for the time being, and only the people who gets this particular model and the missile would be informed of that capability.

[Are you guys going to do the fly-off or what?]
Well, sorry for the slowdown, suppose that I forgot about this somewhat... But anywho, if Adejaani is ready, we can do this as soon as tonight (GMT -8 / PST at my location). Perhaps the fly-by could occur at your nation, and when you give the word, I'll have three aircraft there and ready, along with some new info on the weapon and engine systems (this aircraft will be the first Omzian manned combat aircraft to feature PDE engines). Weapon systems will be brought along as examples. Perhaps we could do the fly-by in a separate thread, to save some space?

Again, sorry to keep you waiting.

Adejaani: Well, I don't plan to mess with your design, considering that the F-14F is somewhat an OMASC-AGI design, and considering both the A-6 and the F-14 are originally RL designs ;) However, more seriously, while both are intended to be upgrades for the F-14D/E/F or the A-6E/F/G, they are mostly based off RL airframes, but of course are gutted to fit my own systems :P

[A seperate thread would be good and you can start whenever you like.]

[A seperate thread would be good and you can start whenever you like.]
OOC: Well, I'll probably start it either tonight or tomorrow. Quite a few stuff to put up, including if you are interested, an upgrade of the F-125.

Also, I don't think that we ended the deal on the B-101A and A-102A production on your part. Since we'll go with 3% royalty on average, how about 1.3 million per A-102A produced and 16 million per B-101A produced. You ok with that?

The F-125C Rapier Interceptor unpgrade, commonly dubbed the "Mark II" upgrade, is the long anticipated upgrade for the F-125A. Noting some deficencies within the F-125A design, and taking advantage of new technologies, designers has taken various steps to make the F-125 a much better and capable aircraft. As with the F-125A, the F-125C is designed for the interception of high performance, high altitude, and high speed enemy bomber and reconaissance aircraft intruding sovernign air space, but the F-125C upgrade also allows the F-125C to be effectively turned to a high-speed fighter-bomber, capable of performing precision strikes over long distances, at high speeds.

Airframe and Design

Although the F-125C is similar in appearance, there are a number of airframe modifications that makes the F-125C a better aircraft over the F-125A. One of the major changes is the construction of the airframe, as now the airframe is built with new and advanced composites, titanium and aluminum alloys, and some ceramic materials, in addition to kevlar and buckytube-based materials to provide some forms of protections against shrapnel. This has resulted in a lighter, stronger, and more reliable and maintenance-friendly airframe. A second major modification includes the lengthened fuselage, which is modified to accept more avionic systems and a total of two main weapons bays, in addition to improved supersonic performacne. Another major modification involves the wings, as the wings are now modified with characterstics similar to some pre-XF-180 "Mach 3 interceptor" designs, to provide higher supersonic platform, though the RCS is slightly increased by this (though more advanced RAMs and further shapings elsewhere are applied). There are still two vertical tails resembling the ones on the F/A-22, but these now are more "sloped" to provide better supersonic performance. Speed brakes are now located on the wings, as the new design is now a "semi-tailless" design, featuring elevons instead, which also makes the aircraft sligtly more "stealthy". Conformal fuel tanks are added and enlarged, and the fuel tanks now also features some self-sealing features, aside from being protected by a layer of kevlar, titanium alloy plates, and additional armored plates made from composite materials. A number of additional RCS- and IR signature-reduction measures are taken, including a variety of new minor shapings around the main fuselage, the wingtips, the conformal fuel tanks, and the engine inlets and nozzles, helps the aircraft to have a slightly lower RCS, and slightly less heat buildups around the engines. Further measures, including a small cooling system, a chemical injection contrail-suppression system, a non-reflective and heat-resistant white paint, and a set of advanced electrochromic panels (distorting the aircraft's IR images, such as blurring the aircraft's outlines to confuse missiles) are added to reduce the IR and visual signatures.

The aircraft is powered by a pair of the extremely powerful HEK-106D turbofans, each rated at 55,000lbs of thrust. Combined with the improve airframe, the engine helps the aircraft to achieve its >Mach 3.42 maximum speed and Mach 1.54 supercruise speed. Various measures and advanced features are present in the engine, allowing it to function normally at higher speeds and higher altitudes, and slightly reduces fuel consumption and increases the ease of maintenance and service life. Aside from the RCS and IR-reduction measures taken, the engines now also includes a pair of 3D thrust vectoring nozzles, in which its movements are controlled by the Central Flight Control System. The engines also features additional protection measures, including a Halon-based fire extinguisher system.

User Interface and Cockpit

The cockpit of the F-125C allows the seating of two crew members on two separate ejection seats, who are enclosed under a bubble canopy. The pilot would control the aircraft and communications, while the Radar Interception Officer would primarily control target interceptions and radar operations, aside from ground attack targeting. Both members face a great assortment of MFD displays and emergency gauges, in addition to a wide-angle HUD, and controls the aircraft via a HOTAS (hands on throttle and stick) system linked with the Central Flight Control System, which is a second generation fly-by-optics system. The pressurized cockpit would decrease the impact of high Gs during maneuverings and engagements, and both crew member would wear advanced helmet mounted sights with a voice command feature, consisting of a computer with advanced voice recongition software that allows the crew members to exercises some flight control functions and commands, although the MFD displays are just as easy to use.

Offensive Avionics and Weapons Systems

The centerpiece of the aircraft is its offensive systems, which includes a radar suite, IRST, FLIR, and the variety of missiles that it carries. Compared to the F-125A, the F-125C now carries one more main weapons bay, along with the new "stealthy hardpoints" (four underwing, two wingtip) which also improves the aircraft's aerodynamics. Although the new main weapon bays are smaller than the single bigger one on the F-125A, they offer more flexibility in different weapons loads, and the two carries more combined. The side weapon bay is relatively unchanged, and they are still located under the wings and near the intakes and the engines of the aircraft. However, one of the major changes is the use of a "sliding door", in which the doors of the weapons bays would slide in instead of open and extend out, which allows a very small RCS reduction and improved aerodynamics. The weapon bays now also arries the Supersonic Flight Rack, which "ejects" the missiles and munitions out of the bomb bay instead of releasing them with extended arms, reducing the complexity involved in weapon releases. Because of this, the F-125 can carry a variety of air-to-air munitions and air-to-ground munitions. Standard air-to-air munitions includes the Spear, the Long Spear, the "AMRAAM 2005", and the Basilisk/Air Snake, while ground precision strike munitions often consists of HARM, JASSM, Dagger hypersonic missiles, and modified GBU-102 500lb or 2000lb PDAS bombs, which incorporates a stronger case for deeper penetration of enemy targets, aside from a temperature-resistant casing, and newly designed "stealthy" fuel tanks are also designed, with a slight amount of RCS materials and a degree of shapings applied:

-Weapons per Main Weapons Bay (2): 3x AIM-315A Spear, 2x AIM-315A + 2x AIM-120N AMRAAM, 1x AIM-315E Long Spear + 2x AMRAAM, 4x AMRAAM, 2x AMRAAM + 1x heavy guided munitions (such as JASSM, BGM-322 Dagger, BGM-323 Little Dagger or GBU-102 2000lb Supersonic PDAS), 2x AMRAAM + 2x light guided munitions (such as HARM or 500lb S-PDAS), 2x AMRAAM + 4x ultralight guided munitions (such as Supersonic SDB)
-Weapons Per Side Weapons Bay (2): 2x AIM-317 Air Snake SRAAMs, 1x AMRAAM

-Weapons/Loads Per Underwing Hardpoint (4): 2x "stealthy" 300gal fuel tank, 1x "stealthy" 600gal fuel tank, 1x 600gal + 2x AMRAAM, 1x 300gal + 2x AMRAAM (with 2x AMRAAM above fuel tanks), 2x AMRAAM, 1x Spear, 1x Long Spear (though only two can be carried externally), 1-2x medium GPS-guided munition (such as JASSM, Dagger, or 2000lb S-PDAS), 2-4x light guided munitions (such as HARM or 500lb S-PDAS)
-Weapons Per Wingtip Station (2): 1x Air Snake SRAAMs, 1x AMRAAM

Additionally, one TARPS pod an also be placed on the aircraft externally, giving the F-125C with additional reconaissance capability.

However, the offensive avionics systems is equally amazing. The primary sensor suite of the aircraft is the advanced Honjak Electrics APG-122/123 ELPI (Extremely Low Probability of Intercept) radar suite, which consists of an extremely long range front-looking radar in the nose, and a medium-long range rear-looking radar placed in the pod. These radars features much better LPI characteristics, NCTR capabilities, look-down and shoot-down, look-up and shoot-up, target tracking capabilities, low-RCS target detection capabilities, anti-active radar cancellation capabilities, and a longer range than other radars such as those on the F-125A and the F/A-22A. Because of this, this multimode radar is quoted as capable of "tracking over fifty [targets] and engaging over five [targets] simultaneously.. [at ranges] over 400km". The advanced Noran Systems NRO-98/99 IRST suite, consisting of the NRO-98 front-facing IRST sensor and the rear-facing NRO-99 rear-facing sensor, gives additional infrared tracking capabilities over all two bands, which includes target tracking, target engagement, limited target recongition and identification capabilities, and strong resistance against various infrared countermeasures at ranges beyong 50km. Further, the air-to-air detection suite also features the advanced digital camera on the F-125A, which allows the pilot to visually identify hostile targets in both day or night (via colour or low light TV cameras) at ranges far beyond what a human eyeball can see.

The air-to-ground portion of the avionics system primarily includes the ELPI radars and an additional FLIR/LLTV/LADAR system. The Noran EagleEye XE FLIR/LLTV/LADAR is mounted in a pod at the bottom of the fuselage of the aircraft, which includes an advanced FLIR system, low-light TV system, and a medium-range LADAR (LAser Detection and Ranging) system with ranges of more than 60km. This system is capable of navigation, tracking, targeting, and engagement.

Defensive Avionics and Communications

Aside from the offensive systems, the F-125C is also extensively equipped with a defensive avionics system. The center of the F-125C's ECM system is the Noran COWS-IIIC ECM system, which consists of an extensive multiband radar jammer, radar warning receiver, LADAR warning receiver (consisting of nodes around the aircraft), IR warning and countermeasures, missile warning receiver, countermeasures deployment system, and a decoy deployment system. The radar jammer can be used against both air and ground targets, while the radar warning receiver has exceptional resistance against LPI-type radars with the help of a data analyzing computer. Through COWS-IIIC, the pilot is provided with exceptional situational awareness, and it is also linked to various chaff and flare dispensers, in addition to a towed decoy. The chaff and flares dispenser system includes "regular" dispensers, along with two "chaff/flare boxes", each holding over 150 chaff or 35 flares. The towed decoy system consists of the Noran Blinder IV Towed Decoy system, which is linked via a strong cable for supersonic flight. It mimics the IR and radar signatues of the F-125C to an extent to fool less capable radars and to degrade the performance of guided anti-air missiles, and is even equipped with a radar jammer, a radio signal emitter, small chaff and flares dispenser. Th decoy has a small turbojet, and can loiter for an "acceptable amount" of time. Lastly, the COWS-IIIC system also links to the electrochromic panel system on the aircraft, which sends commands to the electrochromic panel's computer controller to achieve the desired IR signature distortion effects.

The communications and navigation system is also as extensive as the above systems. The centerpiece are the multi-frequencies radio systems, satellite communication links, and the OMASC Interlink XR system, along with an AINS (Advanced nertial Navigation System), an advanced radar/ladar altimeter, and a jam-proof GPS link.

Cost: Available to selected allies at $106 million.

-Additional two reconaissance equipment "pallets" (2x inner side sensor bay, including additional high-res digital cameras, ELINT sysetm antennas, IR sensors, and additional datalink pods)

The RF-125D Peeker High Speed Reconaissance Aircraft is a variant of the F-125C designed for high altitude, high speed reconaissance operations to complement the Omzian U-2s, SR-71s, and Global Hawks in such operations. Although similar in appearance, the internal of the aircraft has been intensively arranged to house various different reconaissance equipments, including photoreconaissance and ELINT systems, in addition to a small bay housing some air-to-air or air-to-ground munitions for self-defence, if necessary. As a result, although the general outside structure are unchanged, internal and conformal fuel tanks are been carefully rearranged, and small pods and bays are installed instead, in which most of them hold some form of reconaissance equipment. Also as a result of this, main avionics has changed, with the APG-122/123 radars replaced with a small and less powerful APG-124 and -125 radars, and the NRO-98/99 IRST systems replaced by the slightly less powerful NRO-85 and -86 systems. The Noran COWS-IIIC ECM system is also replaced by the slightly less powerful COWS-IIIN Lite, saving more room. However, the benefit of this includes more room for a variety of internally-mounted equipment, including various digital cameras (mounted near the nose and under the wings), ELINT system antennas, and IR sensors, in addition to an advanced NRS-224 SLAR system which is placed within a pod. Among the other features, an advanced communication and datalinking systems makes it possible to upload intelligence data in real-time, while an additional feature also allows the digital cameras to print additional "hard" copies of photos in cases of emergency. There are also two small bays in the wings, which can each mount one recon equipment "pallet" of various types. The weapon bay also allows the carriage of a small number of air-to-air missiles to give the RF-125D limited self-defence capability. The additional carriage of a small variety of precision air-to-ground munitions aboard special "ejection racks", including the specially designed GBU-102ES (with hardened case and temperature-resistant surface) 1000lb bomb, allows the RF-125D to act as a "scout bomber", possibly bombing some critical targets as it continues its reconaissance mission.

Cost: Available to selected allies at $95 million.

Designed by OMASC, the OT-103 Cadet aircraft is a turboprop trainer and a observation aircraft, designed to replace the aging T-6B Texan II in Omzian service. The OT-103 will not only be the primary "beginner" trainer in the Omzian Air Force and Navy, but also will be one of the primary observation aircraft in Omzian Army Aviation Corps service. Constructed with advanced alloys and composite materials, the aircraft is considerably light and maneuverable, while the powerful Bonares XI turboprop engine is able to propel it towards high altitudes and speeds. A low cost fly-by-wire system is installed along with a backup manual control system, along with other systems for automaticaly adjusting the power of the engine, and a system similar to the Trim Aid Device on the T-6B. The glass cockpit, with a wide-angle HUD, MFDs, and emergency gauges, also houses a Noran ejection seat and a birdstrike-resistant bubble canopy. Along with the armored plates and kevlar placed along the cockpit and the rest of the aircraft, the aircraft is also fitted with a small fire extinguisher system, along other survivability systems. A pair of Vanare 12.7mm machine guns are installed in the wings. Seven hardpoints are installed, with one on the fuselage an three under each wing, which can hold light practice bombs, small Hydra rocket pods, Mk.81/82 iron bombs, and even the AIM-9X missile. Chaff and flare dispensers, along with a low-cost laser-based IR countermeasures system, are also installed. However, a new role for this aircraft is combat observation, which can include forward air control, spotting and reconissane, and even light attack. As a complement for scout helicopters, these cheap and well-protected aircraft offers more range and speed, while also being a worthy companion for jet-powered CAS/forward air control aircraft.

The AT-104 Hummingbird advanced trainer/light attack aircraft is a new jet-powered trainer/light attack aircraft designed by OAMSC, designed to meet a joint requirement by the Omzian military for an "universal jet trainer and attack aircraft". With flight performance and even combat capabilities exceeding other advanced trainers such as the Mako, the Hawk, and the Yak-130, the AT-104 is also a worthy competitor even as a light attack which can provide young nations with air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities, and is expected to be in service within the Omzian military for years to come.

The aircraft has several characteristics that makes it extremely suitable as a jet trainer aircraft. While the entire aircraft is constructed prmarily of various cheap composites (such as carbon-based materials), titanium, and aluminum alloys, the aircraft is also strong enough as a carrier-based trainer, with the assistance of a built-in arrestor hook and catapult launch systems. Because of the design and shapings of the aircraft and the materials used for the construction fo the aircraft, plus the slight application of RAM, the aircraft has a lower RCS than its older counterparts. The airframe of the design is also designed to allow student pilots to learn with ease, as it is highly maneuverable with the assistance of an inexpensive fly-by-optics aircraft, and has excellent spin and stall resistant characteristics. Powered by a HEK-82 turbofan, the aircraft has a standard birdstrike-resistant bubble canopy to provide high visibility. In addition, kevlar and buckytube-based materials has been added around the cockpit to provide the pilot with some form of protection against shrapnel and small arms fire.

Avionics and weapon systems are equally impressive. The aircraft is fitted with a standard glass cockpit, with a wide angle HUD, and an INS/GPS navigation suite. A helmet-mounted sight is also standard, along with various communication and a simple datalinking system. A Noran Systems OAN/APG-310 AESA multi-mode radar is installed, along with a radar warning receiver. Two Noran Rocketry Systems ejection seats are installed. The cockpit, in addition from being pressurized and air conditioned, is also suitable for night operations. In terms of weapons, the aircraft is fitted with a 27mm cannon in addition to a total of 9 hardpoints, including a total of 2 wingtip stations, 6 underwing hardpoints, and one fuselage hardpoint. These hardpoints can carry a variety of munitions of up to 5200kg, and aside from practice munitions, the aircraft can also be armed with air-to-air missiles (including the OMASC AIM-120N AMRAAM and the AIM-317 Basilisk/Air Snake SRAAMs), air-to-ground missiles (such as the Maverick, the OMASC AGM-122C Sidearm II, and the Penguin anti-ship missile), unguided rocket pods, unguided iron bombs, and guided bombs, although laser designation in this are to be provided by another aircraft. These hardpoints can also carry fuel tanks and jammer pods. Chaff and flare dispensers and missile launch warning systems are fitted as standard.

Cost: Available for general export at $22 million.

The AC-78C Fire Pelican is the long-awaited gunship version of the C-78A Pelican light transport. It combines major upgrades for the C-78A transport, along with a whole new array of armament for its major close air support and armed reconaissance roles, in order to make the AC-78C deadlier and better armed than its similar counterparts. As a companion for the larger AC-130Us, this aircraft is even more useful, as it engage targets at closer ranges than the AC-130Us armed with cannons and the 105mm howitzer. One of the major improvements of the basic airframe is the use of new composite and stronger metal alloys in the construction, along with larger fuel tanks, better engines, and a streched fuselage, so that the AC-78C can be fitted as much weaponeries as possible. Additional kevlar materials and lightweight armor plates are added to reduce the vulnerability of the aircraft to small arms fire adn shrapnel, and the turboprops themselves now features a reduced IR signature, better protection against fragments, and a simple Halon-based fire extinguishing system, while the new internal fuel tanks are protected by armor and limited self-sealing features. These features makes the AC-78C a very different aircraft than its cargo variant.

The centerpiece of this new aircraft is its armament. The AC-78C's main armaments include a total of three 12.7mm (.50cal) machine guns for close-in, short-range attacks on soft targets and infantry, and two 27mm cannons for medium-range attacks on both soft and hard targets. While these machine guns and cannons are designed to be lightweight to be mounted on the AC-78C, they sports impressive rates of fire and accuracy, and when mated with new OMASC HE-AP-Incendiary "Tri-function" rounds, they deliver a deadly punch over their older counterparts. The aircraft also features a total of four hardpoints, in which two are located at the bottom of the two sides of the fuselage, and the other two are located under the wings. These hardpoints, aside from mounting fuel tanks, can mount both short-range rocket pods and bombs plus longer-ranged Hellfire launchers, to give the AC-78C additional firepower. These weapon sysetms are complemented with the AC-78C's Multimode Attack Targeting System (MATS), which consists of a FLIR, LLTV, radar, and even a LADAR. The targeting and communication capabilities can be extended with extensive jam-proof communication and datalinks, enabling the aircraft to communicate with friendly air and ground forces. Because of the role of the aircraft, however, the AC-78C also features a complex ECM system, which not only consists of the standard RWR/LWRs, jammers, and decoy dispensers, but also electrochromic panels, that can distort the IR signature of the aircraft to redcue the effectiveness of IR-guided shoulder-launched and short range missiles.

Cost: The aircraft is available for general export for $39.8 million.

AGM-324A Long Range Air-Launched Cruise Missile A (LRALCM-A)

Length: 7.38m
Diameter: 73.6cm
Wingspan: 3.12m
Weight: 2200kg
Range: 2100km
Altitude: Low terrain-following
Terminal Attack: Standard attack (fly directly towards the target), dive attack, airburst
Speed: Mach 0.84 cruise, Mach 1.5 terminal
Warhead: 1400kg HE
Guidance: Inertial with GPS and optionally TERCOMP (TERCOM-Plus), IR, EO, and passive radar at terminal
Propulsion: Hybrid PDE-turbofan engine
Typical Carriage: B-101A Bombardier (16 standard, 22 max), B-52H (16), B-1B (12 in bomb bay, 9 on external stores), B-2A (8)

The AGM-324 LRALCM long-range air-launched conventional cruise missiles are another series of subsonic, land-attack missiles to replace both the outdated AGM-86 CALCM and the AGM-129 "Conventional ACM" cruise missiles. Using some of the latest technology, the AGM-324 LRALCM is a stealthy cruise missile composed of advanced materials electronic systems, delivering a lethal punch with its 1400kg HE warhead (although the filler is not quite know, some source rumours that it is a variation of ONC explosive) onto its target. The construction of the missile is primarily composite materials with additional advanced metal alloys to provide a strong body while keeping the body lightweight, while kevlar and buckyball/buckytube-based advanced lightweight materials and titanium plates provides additional armoring against light to medium calibre AAA fire, adn nearby shrapnel. The missile's design is smilar to the AGM-129 ACM and perhaps the JASSM in appearance, and various additional stealthy measures has been taken to reduce the RCS of the missile body, the forward-swept wings, and the small intakes. Some of the stealthy shapings, such as the special "lip" of the Tactical Tomahawk, are also found on the ACM and the Tactical Tomahawk, though other small shapings and applied RAM materials and coatings are exclusive to this missile. A small cooling system, along with a small degree of shapings and the use of heat-resistant materials and non-reflective, heat-resistant white paint, are also used to significantly decrease the IR signature, with simple electrochromic panels installed to distort the IR signature of it. A large, specially-shaped high capacity fuel tank, holding an unidentified high energy fuel similar in nature as the Tomahawk's TH-dimer fuel, is used along with additional smaller tanks to provide the missile with exceptional range, as an advanced hybrid PDE-turbofan engine provides a nice mix between speed and fuel efficency. The fuel tank are protected by thin layers of buckytube-based materials, and has limited self-sealing capabilities. This allows the missile to fly low over a very long range, while keeping a high subsonic speed.

The electronic systems are also equally advancedd. The guidance system, consisting of an advanced GPS-aided inertial navigational system, plus an improved version of the TERCOM system, are used as guidance throughout the course of flight. Before launch, the operator could set up to 10 waypoints for the missile to try to avoid known SAM installations. A RWR system, along with a "LADAR warning system" (consisting of small sensors around the missile), are linked with a computer system, and if threats are detected along the flight, the missile would make several evasive maneuvers, as it activates a small radar jammer, optimized for radars used by Patriot PAC-2/3 batteries that are in common use around the world. At terminal phase, the missile would accelerate to a speed of Mach 1.5 thanks to the advanced hybrid PDE-turbofan, and and initate its terminal attack maneuver. A passive radar would also be turned on when the missile is attacking radar sites, as a small dispenser would open up, dispensing several flares to decrease the effectiveness of shoulder-launched SAMs against the cruise missile. At last however, the missile dives down onto the target and detonates itself, or if no target is found, it will self-destruct at a higher altitude.

Cost: Available to selected allies only, with a unit price of $1.8 million dollars.

OOC: Some missiles are equipped with an active radar cancellation (can be turned on and off, mainly to be used against older radars) system, but that's still very classified, as we aren't exactly open about anything related to "active" radar stealth.

Finally, the anti-shipping variant of the LRALCM missile, designated the LRALCM-C. The LRALCM-C features a new penetating HE warhead, as well as a hardened case and a customizable fuze, along with additional armored protection against small shrapnels and 20mm CIWS fire. the LRALCM's sensor suite is similar to those of the Meteor missile, but is geared towards slower and sea-skim flight. The radar jammer is also optimized for operating against smaller CIWS radars.

Cost: Available to selected allies only, at $1.9 million dollars.

AGM-325A Supersonic Standoff Ground Attack Missile (SGAM)

Length: 4.27m
Diameter: 43cm
Weight: 1480kg (3262lb)
Range: 340-380km high altitude, 120-150km low altitude
Altitude: ~90,000-110,000ft in high alt. profile, low-altitude terrain following in low alt. profile
Terminal Attack: Standard attack, dive attack, airburst
Speed: Mach 4.6
Warhead: 270kg blast fragmentation
Guidance: Inertial with GPS, optional passive radar at terminal
Propulsion: Honjak Electrics HRN16 hybrid rocket-scramjet
Tested Platforms: B-52, B-1, B-2, B-101A, F-15E, F-14G, F/A-18E, A-6H, F-125C

The AGM-325 SGAM is a new air-launched supersonic-speed, short-range missile, designed to engage high value target with precision over medium-ranges, at very high speeds. With a reasonable weight and warhead, plus an accurate guidance system, the SGAM is a worthy companion for its subsonic brother, the JASSM, as the SGAM is im a similar weight class and has similar capabilities. The missile, constructed with heat-resistant composites and metal alloys, features a relatively clean configuration and design, with no major "blocky" and flat surfaces to increase supersonic speed and to naturally decrease its RCS. It is powered by a powerful and advanced hybrid rocket-scramjet engine to give the speed and operating altitude that it has. Though the missile often operates at altitudes as high as 110,000ft, an additional option can be added for the missile to fly at a relatively low altitude to escape detection, though this means a reduced range. Currently though, being unable to support precision targeting, the missile uses an advanced GPS-aided inertial guiance system to help it find its target, along with an optional passive radar seeker for attacking radar sites. Usually at the terminal phase, the missile would dive from its high operating altitude onto the enemy target, with small course adjustments as necessary, but it is airburst and horizontal attack modes are also added for the low-altitude flight profile.

OOC Note: Once again, some missiles are installed with active radar cancellation systems, but this is still highly classified.

============================

AGM-326 Buzz Dart New Air-Launched Supersonic Anti-Radiation (NALSAR) Missile

Length: 5.68m
Wingspan: 0.98m
Diameter: 38cm
Weight: 620kg
Range: ~140-180km
Speed: >Mach 4.2, Mach 3.6-3.8 at terminal
Warhead: ~120-150km at medium-high altitudes
Guidance: Inertial with GPS, passive radar (with home-on-jam and other electric signal homing modes) with milimeter wave radar and IR at terminal
Propulsion: Honjak Electrics HRN18 hybrid rocket-scramjet

The AGM-326 NALSAR missile is a new, advanced anti-radiation missile developed by OMASC, designed to complement the AGM-88 AARGM and replace the Kh-31P-type missiles within Omzian service. This missile is a very fast anti-radiation missile, designed to take out critical radar installations in one lethal strike, and though having a shorter range than the AARGM, its speed advantage allows very little interception time by SAM crews. Featuring a lightweight and clean construction of heat-resistant materials and a hybrid rocket-scramjet engine, the missile is somewhat similar in appearance as the Kh-31P, although the body and the intakes are much more streamlined. The missile may either fly towards the target directly, or keep a high altitude until it locks onto the radar signal or flies over the predetermined attack waypoint, and then dive towards the target as it decellerates towards a speed of Mach 3.6 to 3.8 in order to activate its backup guidance systems. Depending on the launch platform and onboard targeting system used, the missile can also have a 360 degrees engagement capability.

Cost: Available to allies at $360,000 dollars.

AGM-329B Snakearm (Air Snake Anti-Radiation Missile) Light Anti-Radiation Missile Conversion

Length: 3.08m
Finspan: 53cm
Diameter: 14.8cm
Weight: 112kg
Range: 32-42km air launched
Speed: Mach 3.9
Warhead: 15.7kg high-fragmentation blast frag
Guidance: AINS (Advanced Inertial Navigation System) with passive radar and MMW radar
Propulsion: Hybrid rocket-ramjet engine with main 3D thrust vectoring and secondary nozzles
Platforms: AIM-9M-compatible platforms, including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and modified M48 Chapparral Launcher

Developed by OMASC as a replacement for the AGM-122C Sidearm Turbo light anti-radiation missile conversion, the AGM-329 is a modification of the OMASC Basilisk/Air Snake short-range air-to-air missile, designed as a cheap alternative to systems like the AGM-88 HARM/AARGM in the engagement of small-scale radar and SAM installations. Among the many enw features allowing the missile to be come a reality, a hybrid rocket-ramjet engine has been added, along with minor modifications of the airframe. The 3D thrust vectoring nozzles enables great maneuveribility, and the missile is able to engage radars at the 6 o'clock of the aircraft. Because of this, the speed is increased, and the warhead has been replaced with a 15.7kg high fragmentation blast-frag warhead, which would guarentee a hit against small enemy radars. The INS system and the IR seeker of the Air Snake has been replaced with a new AINS system, along with a smart and reprogrammable passive radar seeker, which has the capability to identify many different types of commonly used radars today. A MMW seeker is also provided as a backup, to counter possible electric countermeasures systems and in case the attacked radar detects the missile and turns off. Furthermore, the missile is also coated slightly with RAM materials, to decrease the detection range of this small missile by ground-based radars. the missile is designed to be launched from platforms that are able to launch the AIM-9M, including helicopters, in which the missile would provide target itself if no other mean of targeting is available.

Cost: Export version with degraded seeker, rocket-ramjet engine with no thrust vectoring nor nozzle system, and no RAM material, designated the AGM-329B, is available for general export with a cost of $145,000. Full version is available for allies with a cost of $153,000.

AGM-328A/B Sky Needle Air-to-Ground Kinetic Anti-Tank Missile

Specifications

Length: 1.86m
Finspan: 30.7cm
Diameter: 19.2cm
Weight: 65kg (AGM-328A), 64kg (AGM-328B)
Range: >20km
Speed: >Mach 2
Guidance: Inertial w/ dual mode seeker (MMW radar and IR)
Propulsion: Hybrid rocket-scramjet engine
Platforms: Fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, possibly special ground launchers
Warhead: EFP Penetrator (AGM-328A), or 15kg three-stage shaped charge warhead (AGM-328B)

Type 328/329/330 Sky Needle Launch Pods
Capacity: 8 missiles (Type 328), 6 missiles (Type 329), 4 missiles (330)
Empty Weight: 320kg (Type 328), 260kg (Type 329), 200kg (Type 330)

The AGM-328A/B Sky Needle missiles are the Omzian's alternative to the anti-tank JCM and Hellfire missiles. Designed specifically to engage tanks, the AGM-328 Sky Needles provides fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, and even ground launchers with the capability to engage enemy armor from standoff ranges, avoiding anti-aircraft artillery fire, short-range SAM fire, and even long-range tank rounds. Unlike their Hellfire and JCM counterparts, these missiles are guided by an inertial guidance system and a dual mode seeker, that are armed with either a powerful EFP penetrator or even a whopping three-stage shaped charge warhead to defeat reactive armor. They can either be configured to directly attack enemy tanks, or when even more targeting information are available, they can also be configured to attack tanks from their top. Also unlike the AGM-328A/B, they are either placed in special pods which are placed onto the aircraft's hardpoint, or are placed in tube launchers on ground vehicles. The use of pods allows the missiles to be fired in a quick firing rate after targeting data has been received and fed into the missiles, and it is reported that the ROF is between 1 to 2 missiles per second, expending all the missiles in a standard 8 round pod within 4 seconds.

Cost: Aavailable to allied nations at $65,000 per missile. Launch pods are available at costs of $150,000 (Type 328), $140,000 (Type 329), $135,000 (Type 330)

OOC: Just keep away from AFD-7. That's my aircraft. :p

And I'm ready to go with the flight tests. I'm going to say it again, we should allow for "long play" RPs... Meaning we post when we can and we shouldn't rush it. That's only fair, alright?

Omz, start the thread and either link it here or TGs please.

OOC: Well, I'll probably start it either tonight or tomorrow. Quite a few stuff to put up, including if you are interested, an upgrade of the F-125.

Also, I don't think that we ended the deal on the B-101A and A-102A production on your part. Since we'll go with 3% royalty on average, how about 1.3 million per A-102A produced and 16 million per B-101A produced. You ok with that?

[Yeah, that's cool. Oh, and can I switch my production liscence over to the C variant?]

RGM-324D LRCM-D, Surface-Launched Anti-Ship Variant

Length: 7.08m (without booster), 7.6m (with booster)
Diameter: 68cm
Wingspan: 2.4m
Weight: 2100kg (without booster), 2490kg (with booster)
Range: 650km
Altitude: Low altitude seaskim (~10-18m during cruise, 3-6m at terminal)
Terminal Attack: Horizontal or pop-up dive attack
Speed: Mach 0.92 cruise, Mach 0.85 in search pattern, Mach 1.8 terminal
Warhead: 800kg (1764lb) penetrating HE
Guidance: Inertial with GPS and datalink, active/passive radar and IR at terminal
Propulsion: Hybrid PDE-turbofan engine
Typical Carriage: VLS Cells, Type 331 Quad Box Launcher

This is the ship-launched version of the LRALCM, now named the LRCM-D. Among many changes, the length and the diameter, along with the wingspan, has been reduced in order for it to fit some of the standard Mk.41 VLS systems. The warhead has been reduced among other things, and the missile is now capable of loitering to find its target, which is important for this type of missile. Other smaller modifications and additions includes a stronger counter-measure system, and a modified radar seeker. Along with this, additional reports suggests that a submunition dispenser version of the missile is also under development.

Type 331 Quad Box Launcher: This launcher is intended to be placed on large surface ships. Unlike other common missile launchers, the canisters of the launcher are placed inside an armored box, to reduce damage effects caused by nearby shrapnel, and to reduce the chance of secondary explosions.

Cost (per missile): Available to allies at $1.9 million

OOC:
* - The missile is capable of being launched from some submarines from 28" torpedo tubes as one might see, as canisters for submarine operations has already been designed. But this is still classified.

============================

UGM-324E LRCM-E, Submarine-Launched Anti-Ship Variant

Length: 7.02m (with booster)
Diameter: 60cm (without canister), 64cm (in canister)
Wingspan: 2.4m
Weight: 2000kg (without canister)
Range: 600km
Altitude: Low altitude seaskim
Terminal Attack: Horizontal or pop-up dive attack
Speed: Mach 0.92 cruise, Mach 0.85 in search pattern, Mach 1.8 terminal
Warhead: 860kg (1895lb)
Guidance: Inertial with GPS and datalink, active/passive radar and IR at terminal
Propulsion: Hybrid PDE-turbofan engine
Typical Carriage: Submarines, in VLS and torpedo tubes

The submarine launched version of the LRCM-D, designated the LRCM-E. This is designed to be fired from the common 650mm (25.6") torpedo tubes on many submarines, and is normally stored within a canister - like other missile - for launch. However, among other things, the booster and the missile body are composed of different materials to this time to counter sea water corrosion. The missile is also lighter now (at least without the canister), but is fitted with a larger warhead, resulting in a shorter range as less fuel is carried. The missile does retain its loiter capability, and modified datalink allows it to link with surface ships and even aircraft, for over-the-horizon targeting.

Cost: Available to allies at $2.1 million

[Yeah, that's cool. Oh, and can I switch my production liscence over to the C variant?]
OOC: Well, I'll start the thread now, if you'd like. Also, where do you want to host this? I'm okay with any nation.

About the production license for C variant, since the standard F-125C is pretty much an important asset for my air defence, I am going to offer the license for the C variant as I did with the A variant, which as you might remember is basically a F-125 (designated the "F-125S that time) that has new radars, IRSTs, communication suites, and engines, since all those are pretty sensitive to be exported in the form of production licenses. However, this isn't a bad thing, as the new radars are more or less still that powerful, and the engines are more powerful than before.

However, if that's still okay with you. If you want a royalty-based license, and if you want to install your NPI radars and the likes, I'm thinking of $7-8 million royalty for the first 192 aircraft produced, and then back to $6 million. However, if you want Omzian ELPI radars on this, then the royalty will probably rise $0.5-1 million each.

[I think I'll go with the royalty option. It seems like you've come up with an updated airframe and I'd have to produce new aircraft to come up with the C variant. As it is, my current F-125s are getting old, so I need to replace them.]
