--Infantry Equipment--
M-29 ATAR
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/330069/Untitled4.jpg
Fully Compatible with M-16 Attachments (M-203, Bayonet, Scopes, etc.)
Based off of G-11-Fires very quickly in burst mode, so that the recoil usually doesn't affect the gun until after the 3rd round leaves the barrel
Uses 20, 30, or 60 round magazines of 4.5mm Caseless ammo.
$1000
M-68 Pararifle
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/330069/Untitled-2copy.jpg
A small, OICW like weapon, it combines a 4.5mm Carbine witha 20mm Caseless GL. However, the GL is a simple magazine fed semi-auto, allowing simple design and maintinance. 50 round magazines for the carbine, 6 round ones for the GL. Max range of 550 yds and 200 yds respectively.
M-29A2 and M-68A2
The USNE no longer uses the 4.5x30 round. We have begun using the USNE M6540 6.5x40mm Caseless round, availible in reverse ogives, SLAP, and other rounds types. However, a newer stronger propellant for caseless rounds has been developed, allowing less propellant to be used, so that size and capacity of magazines remains the same. The prices remain the same.
J-9 SMG
http://www.angelfire.com/d20/autumnblade/seburoj9.jpg
9mm ammo in a 72 round or 100 round "Calico" style drum magazine.
Fires single, 3 round burst, and full auto.
Uses HV-SLAP rounds for piercing armor, effective up to 360 yds.
J-76 Assault Rifle
The J-9s big brother, the J-76 fires caseless 7.62mm NATO rounds from a 100 round Calico drum magazine. Max effective range of 550 yds, and with it's .30 caliber bullets, it packs a punch.
M-37 Sniper Rifle
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/3598/images/shirow/ultima.gif
The M-37 is New Empire's premier sniper system. This weapon fires 7.62mm Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot ammo, which consists of a depleted uranium sub-caliber round that easily punches through armor, but all 7.62mm rounds are accepted in it's 10 round magazine. It also features a recoil absorbing stock and a gyrostabilized mount. However, the real beauty of this weapon is its targeting system. The "Full Sensing" version (The standard version with a 12x Zeiss is pictured, but the "full sensing" scope is pictured to the above left of the rifle.) is equipped with a full spectrum, computer controlled targeting system which offers unparalleled accuracy. This system can see through walls as well as detect therm-optic camouflage. The "Full Sensing" scope must be interfaced with the sniper. Effective range of 900 yds
$3000
MG49 Squad Machine Gun
Based on the legendary FN Minmi and MG-3 series MGs, the MG49 has it's reciever in a bullpup mount, and can accept both 50 round 7.62mm magazines and belts of ammunition. Comes free with a conversion kit to 5.56mm NATO rounds, and a 5x Scope. Max effective range of 700 yds
$1500
K-5 Gasium Armor
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/3598/images/shirow/k5.jpg
An armored body suit usually custom compartmentalized for the wearer's specific needs (sown in holsters for specific weapons and pockets etc...). The K-5 is made to be worn with BDUs underneath. Despite its bulk this suit is incredibly light and has no encumbrance penalty. It offers protection from most small arms fire, shrapnel, and fire from head to toe and is covered with a special rubberized coating to prevent clash and clatter. The suit will be custom fitted and compartmentalized to whatever the wearer's demands may be.
$1500
The M-396 ORC Power Armor
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/3598/images/shirow/orc.gif
(Shown without helmet, and at the end of it's short "dressing" procedure)
While some might consider this to be in the wrong section, the ORC is arguably the most effective and easy to maintain power armor on Earth. With the design so easy, it can be maintained by it's user, and a full suite of sensors, the ORC is the choice for someone who wants more for less when it comes to infantry armor. With advanced acuators, the ORC triples the users strength, and with advanced albatives, hybrid materials, and more, the ORC can withstand a .50 BMG round chest hit, and .44 Magnum fire almost anywhere else. The ORC's advanced helmet sensors include NVG, Enhanced Optic, and IR, as well as Acoustic Sensors to monitor even the softest footsteps. Speaking of footsteps, the feet and joints of the ORC are layered with a special rubberized coating to make their movements unhearable to the human ear. It can be equipped with anyweapon that can be held by a person, guarunteed. And with all these features, an average ORC on the battlefield only needs user-maintinace once every 2 weeks, and only once every month from a mechanic.
Cost-$20,000

Uses the Box-Wing design.
Note-(Lockheed Martin is developing aircraft like this, it ain't godmodding.)
Cost-50 Million
APTO cost-46 Million
And, by popular demand, the B-84 Zeus "UltraFortress". Coming in at 380 tons, the Zeus is a big, bad plane. Speed is not the focus, but sheer firepower. Let's put it this way, and put some B-52 factoids alongside the Zeus' stats.
Max Speed-600mph-Well, the B-52 wins out by 50mph. Still, a respectable speed.
Max Takeoff weight-380 tons-The B-52's 92.5 MTW is definitely a contrast. People, the Zeus NEEDS STURDY RUNWAYS. Try flying this thing off of some dirt road in Wherethehellistan is NOT gonna work.
Max Bombload-175 tons-That's five times as much as a B-52, people. As in you can fit 255 Mk. 82 General Purpose Bombs in here.
Cost-60 million
APTO cost-55 million
DON'T ASK ME FOR PRODUCTION RIGHTS ON THESE THINGS. PLEASE. YOU DON'T NEED THAT MANY! (This is to keep little nations from trying to build thousands of these and wiping out subcontinents.)
B-96 Harbinger
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/nsa2.jpg
A strange offspring between the B-52 and B-2, the B-96 delivers 50,000 pounds of weaponry, but with it's Blended wing body, can reach speeds of Mach 2. It is designed to operate at high altitudes, to avoid detection and interception.

Notes- The F-98 Maelstrom, while a very sucsessful fighter, was in need of replacement. The F-109 Tempest provided the best in manuverability, speed, and weapons. With 4 separate rotating canards, and vernier thrusters, the Tempest is a very agile fighter, and combined with the 30mm Rail Gatling Gun, is a force to be feared in dogfighting. With a very high speed, and advanced missile systems, the Tempest is an excellent interceptor. The vernier thrusters and thrust vectoring give it the ability to perform NVTOL (Can take off at 20 Degree angle). Already they are availible for export.
SF-109 Tempest TransAtmospheric Fighter Specifications
Make/Model (Designation): SF-109 Tempest Endo-Exo Trans-Atmospheric Fighter.
Manufacturer: Berliston AeroSpace/Sambizie
Primary Designations:
- Endo-Exo Trans-atmospheric Attack Jet.
PERFORMANCE
Engines:
---Main Engines---
-MK443PD Pulse Detonation Engines, verniers located throughout aircraft.
-He3 fuelled SCRAMjet (Supersonic Combustion RAMjet),Injectors, enabling the F-109 to fly from inside an atmospheric envelope to a transorbital phase right into ACM (Air Combat Maneuvering), in the (almost complete) vacuum of space.
-Ballistic Control/Extra-Atmospheric Maneuvering Jets—
Placed at various locations (and in various directions), controlled by computer and so used to modify the orientation of the craft while outside of any atmosphere.
Top Speed (atmospheric):
Baseline 0: "Over 2.4 Mach" (OOC: Mach 3+)
Baseline 1: "Over 3 Mach" (OOC: Mach 3.9 max burn)
Systems energy profile: Major control, life-support, and general systems energy derived from hydrogen fuel cells with petrochemical-catalytic abilities. Specialized heat-recapture and dye-based photovoltaic (sensitive to visible and IR wavelengths) systems allow the by-products of operation and even the surface of the aircraft to generate energy.
Minor power reserves (battery) derived from specialized dyes which, when painted onto conductive metal surfaces, act as a photovoltaic power source (sensitive to visible and IR wavelengths) and specialized heat-recapture systems.
NOTE: photovoltaic systems are on metallic conductive surfaces placed underneath clear or translucent composite surfaces that protect the craft from a variety of damages.
Mission Profile:
Specific F-109 tasks include:
- Intercept and destroy enemy craft in conjunction with ground or airborne fighter control under all-endo/exo conditions.
- Conduct day and night close air support.
- Conduct day and night deep air support. Deep air support consists of LIDAR/RADAR search and attack, interdiction, and strikes against enemy installations using all types of weapons compatible with assigned craft.
- Conduct armed escort of friendly craft.
- Be able to operate from spacecraft carriers, advanced bases, and expeditionary airfields.
- Be able to deploy or conduct extended range operations employing aerial refueling.
CONTROL
Manuevering:
--Atmospheric—
Completed "conventionally" with the use of moving flaps and directional-thrust engines.
--Extra-Atmospheric—
Completed by use of maneuvering jets, computer aided movement (manual override possible). Use of a pair of diagonally-mounted "joysticks" that are extended to the pilot on motile ‘arms’ once the pilot has locked into his seat and once the craft has been given the proper activation code (note: for theft and operational security, each craft is provided with Use Authorization Codes (UACs) that can be shifted to protect the craft from use by spies and/or enemy agents.
Crew: 1 pilot (+AI target identification, acquisition, and engagement program. AI ship control system).
WEAPONS/ARMAMENT

Honor Class Frigate
http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/trimaran/images/tri5.jpg
In a joint operation, the New Genoese Defense Department (NGDD) and the New Empire Military Projects Department (NEMPD) have announced the release of the "Honor" Class Frigate. Using a trimaran design, the Honor can hit 38 knots during the average weather (Recommended crusing speed in rough waters, or for maximum range on D/E is 20 knots), and uses underwater "thrusters" called azipods for sharp turns. It has a vitrually global range, due to it's Johannes/Cummings Pebblebed Reactor, a nuclear reactor that runs off a pebble with "onion" like layers of graphite and silicon wrapped around a fleck of uranium. Due to the layering, the uranium itself will never reach "melting temperature", and therefore, no run-away reactions. Helium coolant eliminates radiation leakage because helium can't transmit radiation. Backup consists of 2 diesel electric turbines.
WEAPONS-
9X4 cell VLS tubes. Used to launch a mix of SM series weapons, or Cruise missiles. Can be modified to fit your missiles.
2x8 cell tubes using the MAS-44 (Based of of Kh-35)
Guidance inertial guidance and active radar homing
Maximum range 230 km
Minimum range 5 km
Missile speed 580 to 500 metres per second
Altitude in cruise phase 10 to 15 metres
Altitude in terminal phase 3 to 5 metres
Missile launch weight 643 kg
1xForward mounted 155mm ETC cannon.
6x tubes for 556mm torpedoes. Recommended-STAS-6 ASROC Supercavitating Torpedo. Has capability to travel 1 mile in 1 second.
Has room for 1-2 ASW Helicopters (Or VTOLS for you future people) depending on size.
DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS-
ECM, ECCM
SRBOC Mk 36
AN/SLQ-12 Nixie torpedo decoy
Sea Gnat
2 RAM Launchers
Also, the "Honor" utilizes the "Athena" system, which identifies incoming radar waves, and sends out the proper signals to cancel them out. The ship is also coated with a layer or Radar Abosorbent Material.
FIRE CONTROL
The "Honor" Class Frigate uses the USNE MK VII "PuppetMaster" FCS. Each weapons system has it's own node, which can track up to 40 enemy ships or missiles at the same time. The node for the RAM systems can track up to 200 missiles of various sizes. The MK VII can also be linked to other MK VII ships, allowing them to coordinate attacks, and increase the awareness of the crew to threats.
Crew- The Honor's optimal crew is 95, including 2 ASW Helo teams, due to the automation of many systems.
Cost-$820 Million
OOC and notes- If you reeeeally want a pic, just say so, and give me some time. I'll cook one up.

M-29 ATAR
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/330069/Untitled4.jpg
Fully Compatible with M-16 Attachments (M-203, Bayonet, Scopes, etc.)
Based off of G-11-Fires very quickly in burst mode, so that the recoil usually doesn't affect the gun until after the 3rd round leaves the barrel
Uses 20, 30, or 60 round magazines of 4.5mm Caseless ammo.
$1000
M-68 Pararifle
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/330069/Untitled-2copy.jpg
A small, OICW like weapon, it combines a 4.5mm Carbine witha 20mm Caseless GL. However, the GL is a simple magazine fed semi-auto, allowing simple design and maintinance. 50 round magazines for the carbine, 6 round ones for the GL. Max range of 550 yds and 200 yds respectively.
M-29A2 and M-68A2
The USNE no longer uses the 4.5x30 round. We have begun using the USNE M6540 6.5x40mm Caseless round, availible in reverse ogives, SLAP, and other rounds types. However, a newer stronger propellant for caseless rounds has been developed, allowing less propellant to be used, so that size and capacity of magazines remains the same. The prices remain the same.

Uses HV-SLAP rounds for piercing armor, effective up to 360 yds.
J-76 Assault Rifle
The J-9s big brother, the J-76 fires caseless 7.62mm NATO rounds from a 100 round Calico drum magazine. Max effective range of 550 yds, and with it's .30 caliber bullets, it packs a punch.
M-37 Sniper Rifle
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/3598/images/shirow/ultima.gif
The M-37 is New Empire's premier sniper system. This weapon fires 7.62mm Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot ammo, which consists of a depleted uranium sub-caliber round that easily punches through armor, but all 7.62mm rounds are accepted in it's 10 round magazine. It also features a recoil absorbing stock and a gyrostabilized mount. However, the real beauty of this weapon is its targeting system. The "Full Sensing" version (The standard version with a 12x Zeiss is pictured, but the "full sensing" scope is pictured to the above left of the rifle.) is equipped with a full spectrum, computer controlled targeting system which offers unparalleled accuracy. This system can see through walls as well as detect therm-optic camouflage. The "Full Sensing" scope must be interfaced with the sniper. Effective range of 900 yds

K-5 Gasium Armor
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/3598/images/shirow/k5.jpg
An armored body suit usually custom compartmentalized for the wearer's specific needs (sown in holsters for specific weapons and pockets etc...). The K-5 is made to be worn with BDUs underneath. Despite its bulk this suit is incredibly light and has no encumbrance penalty. It offers protection from most small arms fire, shrapnel, and fire from head to toe and is covered with a special rubberized coating to prevent clash and clatter. The suit will be custom fitted and compartmentalized to whatever the wearer's demands may be.

The M-396 ORC Power Armor
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/3598/images/shirow/orc.gif
(Shown without helmet, and at the end of it's short "dressing" procedure)
While some might consider this to be in the wrong section, the ORC is arguably the most effective and easy to maintain power armor on Earth. With the design so easy, it can be maintained by it's user, and a full suite of sensors, the ORC is the choice for someone who wants more for less when it comes to infantry armor. With advanced acuators, the ORC triples the users strength, and with advanced albatives, hybrid materials, and more, the ORC can withstand a .50 BMG round chest hit, and .44 Magnum fire almost anywhere else. The ORC's advanced helmet sensors include NVG, Enhanced Optic, and IR, as well as Acoustic Sensors to monitor even the softest footsteps. Speaking of footsteps, the feet and joints of the ORC are layered with a special rubberized coating to make their movements unhearable to the human ear. It can be equipped with anyweapon that can be held by a person, guarunteed. And with all these features, an average ORC on the battlefield only needs user-maintinace once every 2 weeks, and only once every month from a mechanic.

SF-109 Tempest TransAtmospheric Fighter Specifications
Make/Model (Designation): SF-109 Tempest Endo-Exo Trans-Atmospheric Fighter.
Manufacturer: Berliston AeroSpace/Sambizie
Primary Designations:
- Endo-Exo Trans-atmospheric Attack Jet.
PERFORMANCE
Engines:
---Main Engines---
-MK443PD Pulse Detonation Engines, verniers located throughout aircraft.
-He3 fuelled SCRAMjet (Supersonic Combustion RAMjet),Injectors, enabling the F-109 to fly from inside an atmospheric envelope to a transorbital phase right into ACM (Air Combat Maneuvering), in the (almost complete) vacuum of space.
-Ballistic Control/Extra-Atmospheric Maneuvering Jets—
Placed at various locations (and in various directions), controlled by computer and so used to modify the orientation of the craft while outside of any atmosphere.
Top Speed (atmospheric):
Baseline 0: "Over 2.4 Mach" (OOC: Mach 3+)
Baseline 1: "Over 3 Mach" (OOC: Mach 3.9 max burn)
Systems energy profile: Major control, life-support, and general systems energy derived from hydrogen fuel cells with petrochemical-catalytic abilities. Specialized heat-recapture and dye-based photovoltaic (sensitive to visible and IR wavelengths) systems allow the by-products of operation and even the surface of the aircraft to generate energy.
Minor power reserves (battery) derived from specialized dyes which, when painted onto conductive metal surfaces, act as a photovoltaic power source (sensitive to visible and IR wavelengths) and specialized heat-recapture systems.
NOTE: photovoltaic systems are on metallic conductive surfaces placed underneath clear or translucent composite surfaces that protect the craft from a variety of damages.
Mission Profile:
Specific F-109 tasks include:
- Intercept and destroy enemy craft in conjunction with ground or airborne fighter control under all-endo/exo conditions.
- Conduct day and night close air support.
- Conduct day and night deep air support. Deep air support consists of LIDAR/RADAR search and attack, interdiction, and strikes against enemy installations using all types of weapons compatible with assigned craft.
- Conduct armed escort of friendly craft.
- Be able to operate from spacecraft carriers, advanced bases, and expeditionary airfields.
- Be able to deploy or conduct extended range operations employing aerial refueling.
CONTROL
Manuevering:
--Atmospheric—
Completed "conventionally" with the use of moving flaps and directional-thrust engines.
--Extra-Atmospheric—
Completed by use of maneuvering jets, computer aided movement (manual override possible). Use of a pair of diagonally-mounted "joysticks" that are extended to the pilot on motile ‘arms’ once the pilot has locked into his seat and once the craft has been given the proper activation code (note: for theft and operational security, each craft is provided with Use Authorization Codes (UACs) that can be shifted to protect the craft from use by spies and/or enemy agents.
Crew: 1 pilot (+AI target identification, acquisition, and engagement program. AI ship control system).
WEAPONS/ARMAMENT

Honor Class Frigate
http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/trimaran/images/tri5.jpg
In a joint operation, the New Genoese Defense Department (NGDD) and the New Empire Military Projects Department (NEMPD) have announced the release of the "Honor" Class Frigate. Using a trimaran design, the Honor can hit 38 knots during the average weather (Recommended crusing speed in rough waters, or for maximum range on D/E is 20 knots), and uses underwater "thrusters" called azipods for sharp turns. It has a vitrually global range, due to it's Johannes/Cummings Pebblebed Reactor, a nuclear reactor that runs off a pebble with "onion" like layers of graphite and silicon wrapped around a fleck of uranium. Due to the layering, the uranium itself will never reach "melting temperature", and therefore, no run-away reactions. Helium coolant eliminates radiation leakage because helium can't transmit radiation. Backup consists of 2 diesel electric turbines.
WEAPONS-
9X4 cell VLS tubes. Used to launch a mix of SM series weapons, or Cruise missiles. Can be modified to fit your missiles.
2x8 cell tubes using the MAS-44 (Based of of Kh-35)
Guidance inertial guidance and active radar homing
Maximum range 230 km
Minimum range 5 km
Missile speed 580 to 500 metres per second
Altitude in cruise phase 10 to 15 metres
Altitude in terminal phase 3 to 5 metres
Missile launch weight 643 kg
1xForward mounted 155mm ETC cannon.
6x tubes for 556mm torpedoes. Recommended-STAS-6 ASROC Supercavitating Torpedo. Has capability to travel 1 mile in 1 second.
Has room for 1-2 ASW Helicopters (Or VTOLS for you future people) depending on size.
DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS-
ECM, ECCM
SRBOC Mk 36
AN/SLQ-12 Nixie torpedo decoy
Sea Gnat
2 RAM Launchers
Also, the "Honor" utilizes the "Athena" system, which identifies incoming radar waves, and sends out the proper signals to cancel them out. The ship is also coated with a layer or Radar Abosorbent Material.
FIRE CONTROL
The "Honor" Class Frigate uses the USNE MK VII "PuppetMaster" FCS. Each weapons system has it's own node, which can track up to 40 enemy ships or missiles at the same time. The node for the RAM systems can track up to 200 missiles of various sizes. The MK VII can also be linked to other MK VII ships, allowing them to coordinate attacks, and increase the awareness of the crew to threats.
Crew- The Honor's optimal crew is 95, including 2 ASW Helo teams, due to the automation of many systems.
Cost-$820 Million
