This is the pinnacle of our ground designs. It utilises all out latest technology, systems, programs and arnaments. Armed with a huge 150mm High Velocity gun that can cut through armor up to and beyond MBT thickness, with a variety of shells, like HEAT, Sabot, ATGM's and Canisters. Also armed with 4 ATGM systems of your choice, on mounts on the side of the tank. These missile are proppeled out by refillable compressed air jets, out up to 4 metres away, then they fire, sending the ATGM away. Also on it are several gun systems, including the GAU-15 27mm Chain Gun computer controlled system, that can shoot down helicopters, planes, incoming missiles, even smaller missiles with the help of the computer and ICF (Incoming Fire) Alert System. The front one can cover up to 95 degrees in either direction. It is also aided by the FFE (Friedly Fire Eliminater), a system that can detect transmitters mounted on friendly units, as not to shoot down Friendly Aircraft. The rear on is a Single Barreled 27mm Cannon System, that also can shoot down missiles and airborne enemies, but at less ammo consumption. This can be detached and replaced by a mortar, Stinger or even Small SAM system if needed. Mounted over the commanders compartment is a .50 cal machine gun, that can be replaced by a smaller LMG if needed.
The crew compartments are all quite spacious, but not stupidly so, adn allow for easy movement in a heated battle. Each one is fitted with a above head height flat screen monitors, which each display a different view of the battle, utilising the 9 Cameras placed all round the tanks turret. These cameras run a video through to the monitors, which display all areas over the battle field at a moments glance, without the need for a periscope. Thought these are installed anyway :) . A radio feed through helmet mounted transmitters monitor all things said by other crew members, and pas them through to the other 2/3. This allows for battlefield communication easily. Only 3 crew are really needed, but a fourth member, the computer manner, looks at the computer control units, assign targets to the twin guns, ECM defense systems, chaffs, jammers etc.
These defense systems include 2 ECM pods on the tanks sides, which target individual missiles to confuse. Chaff and flare pods are instlled, a laser warhead scrambler which transmits too many signals for the missile to comprehend, therefore shutting it down. A jammer is also installed, jamming all non friendly frequencies when turned on. NVG, IR, Laser and Thermal scopes are at every station, and can be attached to the 360 degree monitors, allowing for night and difficult conditions monitoring. The gunner uses an auto targetting system, and an auto aim system, which makes correction sin misaim, such as wind conditions, humidity adn obstacles.
Extra rounds can be held in a compartment near the gunner, but assault rifles for the crew can also be stored, as well as bullet proof vests. There is also plenty room for storage of camo nets etc.
COST: 7,750,000 USD
