AN/ALQ-136(V)2 CMS (Zvarinograd):

The AN/ALQ-136(V)2 CMS is designed for the Special Electronics Mission Aircraft (SEMA) and the Special Operations Aircraft (SOA) -- RC-12, MH-47E, MH-60K, EH-60A. This CMS is programmed to respond to the pulse radar signals of the most critical threat weapon system anticipated to be encountered by SEMA and SOA in a hostile environment. It can operate against multiple threat weapons systems simultaneously. It has programmable modules, covers a broader frequency range than the (V)1 CMS and has built-in preplanned product improvement capabilities. The AN/ALQ-136(V)2 CMS consists of three types of line replaceable units (LRUs). These LRUs include one receiver/transmitter (RT) assembly, one control indicator assembly and four antennas. The RT assembly utilizes state-of-the-art gate array and gallium arsenide lightweight circuit boards. The total system weight is 72 pounds.


Russian Aviaconversia GPS and GLONASS Jammer (Zvarinograd):

THE GPS/GLONASS JAMMER HAS AN OUTPUT POWER OF 4 WATTS AND CAN EFFECTIVELY DENY USE OF GPS IN AN AREA RANGING AS FAR AS 150-200 KM. DR. ANTONOV SAID THAT HE HAS ALREADY WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RUSSIAN MILITARY WITH DIRECTIONAL ANTENNAS FOR HIS JAMMER SO THAT IT CAN BE USED TO DIRECTIONALLY JAM WHILE MAINTAINING SAFE AREAS FOR FRIENDLY FORCES TO ACCESS GPS OR GLONASS. THE COEFFICIENT OF ANTENNA AMPLIFICATION RANGES FROM 2-5, DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF ANTENNA USED. THE ELECTRICAL INPUT SUPPLY IS EITHER BATTERY OR DC LINE VOLTAGE. DR. ANTONOV PRODUCED BOTH 15 V AND 6 V SUPPLIES THAT RAN OFF OF 230 VOLTS LINE INPUT. THE JAMMER DISSIPATES 25 WATTS WHEN IN USE AND WEIGHS BETWEEN 8-12 KG WITHOUT BATTERIES, DEPENDING ON THE CONFIGURATION. IN THE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE JAMMER SHOWN IN BOTH ENCL 1 AND 2, TWO KNOBS CAN BE SEEN AT THE BASE. THE LEFT KNOB IS FOR FREQUENCY MODULATION, AND RANGES FROM 0-6 MHZ. THE RIGHT KNOB IS FOR "VELOCITY CHANGE OF MODULATION" AND RANGES FROM 44-270 HZ. A PORTION OF THE ABOVE DATA IS CONTAINED IN ENCL 3, WHICH IS IN RUSSIAN. THE RO HAD ENCL 3 LOOSELY TRANSLATED, VERBALLY.


AN/ALQ-144A(V)3 CMS(Zvarinograd):

The AN/ALQ-144A(V)3 CMS is the upgrade version of the AN/ALQ-144(V)3. It is an active, continuously operating, omni-directional and electrically fired infrared (IR) jammer. This CMS is designed for use on AH-1F and AH-64A/D helicopters to confuse or decoy threat IR missile systems. The AN/ALQ-144A(V)3 CMS is designed to provide jamming of all known IR threat missile systems when operated on helicopters equipped with low reflective paint and engine exhaust suppressors. The AN/ALQ-144A(V)3 CMS consists of a transmitter assembly and an operator control unit (OCU) with dual capabilities. The OCU controls both the AN/ALQ-136(V)1/5 and the AN/ALQ-144(V)3 or AN/ALQ-144A(V)3. The OCU has a 25-pin connector assembly. The total system weight is 30 pounds.


Armament:
(DP-21 can carry four larger missiles internally and two on each wing)

up to 8x AA-3E Air-to-air missiles (bought from Freedom Country and currently being used on the first six DP-21s)

up to 8x CFAR ACM11 Long arm XRAAM (Crookfur)
Power planet: initial boost rocket followed by Ramjet (vectored thrust)
Speed: mach 5
Range: 15-350km+
Length: 6m
Warhead: 19kg targeted blast/ frag
Launch weight: 370kg
Guidance:
Post launch: inertial strap down navigation with midcourse updates
End game targeting:
Module A: Active radar seeker kicks in at 30km (equipped with advanced ECCM systems and home on ECM mode), backup provided by IR seeker.
Module B: millimetric wave radar sensor (shorter range than radar but far more jam resistant and higher definition), backup provided by a combination IR/ EO seeker


The ACM11 is a very advanced missile designed to fulfill the role of an extended range interceptor missile capable of engaging the full spectrum of airborne targets including stealth aircraft.

The launching aircraft needs only a brief radar contact to provide a intercept vector for the missile. On generation of vector and on authorization of launch (can be fully automated) the missile detaches from the launching aircraft and the boost rocket engages accelerating the missile to the operating speed of the ramjet motor which accelerates the missile to mach 5. During the flight towards the target the missile can receive any required number of vector updates from the launching aircraft, using a thrust vectoring system to maneuver. When the missile reaches engagement range it becomes fully autonomous and using its thrust vectoring system can pull off extreme maneuvers to gain the optimum position for the detonation of the warhead. The twin seeker systems allow operation in even the most difficult electronic warfare scenarios.
The 2 Seeker head options are purely for customer preference, both offer exceptional ability but module A offers more options of end game engagement with it’s home on jam mode and a slight advantage against faster aircraft with its longer ranged primary sensor while module B has slightly better performance against stealth and smaller targets.


Zvarinograd, Independent Hitmen, and Crookfur have production rights to this aircraft. Production rights may be sold, TG me for details.

While i belive that the MiG-31 foxbat may already do all you require i cna offer you some equipment options:

Most of the radars in our Mk4000 family can handle over 10 simultainious targets at ranges greater than 320km (200miles) (these are multi function radars developed from the system found on the Su37).

We can design a specialy created dedicated air to air ssytem for your fighter if you require but unfortunatly we don't have a missile that would complement the system (our current best is 150km) but i suppose we could design one for you.
30-10-2003, 15:17
the most long range missile we have is 420 km.
30-10-2003, 15:18
anyways.. as soon as you make this aircraft i will be selling countermeasures against it :D .
Independent Hitmen
30-10-2003, 15:21
I can supply funds for the building/research in return for some planes and or production rights or something that can be workled out later.

An immeadiate grant of 1.2 Million USD will be provided to you.

Thank you.
Soviet Bloc
30-10-2003, 15:29
Well, Crookfur, I think I'll use your Mk4000 radar system and I would not mind developing a new missile to use for the DP-21.

Independent Hitmen, I thank you for your grant. I will provide you production rights if more funds are provided.
30-10-2003, 15:36
so.. you will release it in a week?
Crookfur

Well, Crookfur, I think I'll use your Mk4000 radar system and I would not mind developing a new missile to use for the DP-21.

Well the Mk4000 is a family of related system so likely the actual radar (if you require a custom one) would be the MK4011 (i'll TG you the stats on a proposed Mk4011 system).

As for a new missile we would need at least a 350km range, with giudnace including strapdown inertial, mid course and final phase updates from the launch aircraft and some high performance final stage seeker (maybe a combo of semi active and millimetric wave?).

AA-3C/D/E Air to Air Missiles

AA-3C sitting on runway
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/acimdcar.JPG

Concept

Freedom Countries adavanced, long range air to air missile. With various upgrades, including thrust vectoring (on later models) and advanced range. Its range is 220 kilometres, which is capable of dowing most fighters before they do any damage to friendly air and ground units.

Speeding at upwards of Mach 4 after being launched from a plane, it can home in on any units it gets a lock on.

Guidance

This is the real plus point. It uses both Radar Guidance, Heatseekers, Thermal and Laser to guide it. This means that if one gets jammed, the others will still function. It does not have an inbuilt radar, but rather a reciever, meaning that as long as the launchers Radar is on, it can be guided to its target.

As soon as it closes to within 9/11/13 Kilometres (C/D/E Versions) it can then switch to Heatseeking, meaing it can use both radar and Heatseeking, should one get jammed. When it closes to 3/4/5 Kilometres (C/D/E) it can change also to Thermal, picking and keeping to the target relayed to it by Radar/Heatseeking. At 2 Kilometres (all versions) it can use laser, a pinpoint accurate system that can guide the missile to the enemies cockpit, where it is programmed to hit the top side of the aircraft.

It has several maneuver when launched. When initially launched, it climbs higher than the launch point (5,000 feet higher). It then levels out, and flies in pre programmed height to the enemy. When within 1 kilometre, it pulls up, and dives on the top side of the enemy. When close, it slows to just over the enemies speed, and varioes sub muunitions fire the nose cane outwards, n a fireball. This makes a nice hole for the missile (which has a smaller undercone, behind the prime one) to fly into, milliseconds after. The warhead explodes downwards, into the enemy.

Info

The whole missile is 4.6 metres long, and fits into most bomb bays, ot onto the inner wing of most fighters. Using an FC-JASM warhead, it holds enough power to down any fighter, or cripple any Heavy Bomber (B-52, Tu-160 and the like). Also, using FC-IPAD pre charges under the nose cone, it can propel the nose cone and guidance systems 50 metres forward, in a fireball.

Heavily maneuverable in later versions due to thrust vectoring (causes by various hydraulics driven slides at the rear, it can follow the majority of fighters through up to 9G turns. To evade the jammers, it has electrnonic scramblers changing the guidance frequency and process every 0.5 seconds. But the real genius is that if it is within Heatseeking range, if the radar gets jammed it has Heat to fall back on.

An all round useful weapon, used by FC to great extent. Both A,B and C versions were used during conflicts fought by Freedom Country. Origonally a SAM, it was changed to an AAM not long ago. We hope you like it.

Costs:

AA-3C Version : $410,000
(Not with thrust vectoring)

AA-3D Version: $450,000
(Thrust Vectoring included)

AA-3E Version: $475,000
(Thrust Vectoring, highest guidance ranges and free missile ground maneuvering barrow included with every missile)

We hope you enjoy.

We can supply almost unlimited funding. How much do you think would be required?

Wires 10 Million USD to research account.
Soviet Bloc
30-10-2003, 19:29
Geforce4, yes, I will release it within a week or somewhere in that period of time, depending on how things go.

Hmm... Freedom country, your missile is very advanced and well built, but I think I will develop/research a new one with Crookfur that will more suit the needs I require instead of relying on a foreign design.

And as for Independent Hitmen, does a $250,000,000 USD initial donation sound good? That should be able to assist in the effort alot and take some strain off of my budget. If you are generous enough to donate more, go ahead, but for now I can pay for most of it.

In recent trials, the prototype DP-21A's performed admirably in the EW trials and also performed exceptionally well in missile trials, a single DP-21 with all eight missiles being able to take down eight different aircraft drones that were an average distance of 208 km away from the craft. Results were acheived using AA-3E missiles provided by Freedom Country. Final craft is expected to use a missile from a joint venture between Soviet Bloc and Crookfur, a missile prototype has not been developed yet.

DP-21 Preliminary statistics will be provided to those interested in the craft, otherwise final production statistics will be posted here.
