The NGDD has been pounding out new and better developments by the day and more and more are becoming available to the international community. Today, we annouce the sale of the new 1A4GT-2 fire control system, an upgrade to the Russian 1A4GT IFCS. All KAF-90D battle tanks in the NGA (New Genoese Army) and the NGMC (New Genoese Marine Corps) will be equipped with the new and improved system.

The international community will also be rewarded with the honor to purhcase the new system.

1A4GT-2
The 1A4GT-2 integrated fire control system (IFCS) is automatic but with manual override for the commander. The IFCS contains the gunner's 1A43-2 day fire control system, gunner's TO1-KO1 thermal imaging sight which has a target identification range of 1.2 km to 1.5 km and commander's PERI-R 17 A3 sight.

Commander
The commander's station has an independent periscope, a PERI-R 17 A3 from STN Atlas Elektronik and Zeiss Optronik GmbH. The PERI-R 17 A3 is a stabilised panoramic periscope sight for day/night observation and target identification, and it provides an all round view with a traverse of 360°. The thermal image from the commander's periscope is displayed on a monitor. The PERI-R17 A3 can also be used for weapon firing as it is slaved into the tank's fire control system. The image from the gunner's thermal sight can also be transmitted to the commander's PERI-R 17 periscope so the commander can switch the gunner's video image to the commander's monitor. This enables the commander and the gunner to have access to the same field of view of the combat range. The system has identification ranges of 900m (day) and 800m (night).

Gunner
The gunner's 1A43-2 day FCS comprises of an EMES 15B dual magnification stabilised primary sight with: a missile guidance channel, a thermal channel, and a CE628 laser rangefinder, 2E42-4 armament stabiliser, 1V528 ballistic computer, and DVE-BS wind gauge.

The rangefinder can provide up to three range values in four seconds. The range data is transmitted to the fire control computer and is used to calculate the firing algorithms. Also, because the laser rangefinder is integrated into the gunner's primary sight, the gunner can read the digital range measurement directly. The maximum range of the laser rangefinder is less than 10,000m with accuracy to within 20m.

Driver
The driver is equipped with a TVN-5 infrared night viewer.

Other
The command and fire control procedure known as first echo selection is used for laser rangefinding for anti-helicopter operations. The principal weapon uses electronic firing to reduce reaction times.

Price: 15,000 USD
12,000 USD for APTO members

The NGDD has confirmed orders from Freedom Country, but we are unsure of allowing you to 'slap' this on a tank and sell it. We want 10% profits of what the FCS would cost. We can haggle if you wish.

The storage facility has received the confirmed order and giant transport ships and aircraft have begun to prepare the shipping of the product.

The NGDD has confirmed the sale to New Empire. Since they shall be upgrading their systems instead of purchasing a completel new one, the pricetag will be 5,000 USD, discounted due to APTO membership.

The cargo ships and planes are ready, we just need the money to be wired.

OOC: Well, we are working on a way to have two independantly tracking cannon on one turret. It is revolving around an AI system to replace the gunner and turreter (or whatever he is.). It is taking some time though.
