SIV-02

The SIV-02, an Infantry Fighting Vehicle and APC rolled into one. It was designed to provide the ARSB with a para-drop capable IFV to accompany UAZ-Ps and T-05s into battle and to provide paradrop forces an efficient and light fast attack vehicle. The SIV-02 was funded through ARSB's desire to build a seperate, lighter force that could project ARSB military strength to any region on the planet in a short period of time. Through this project we have developed the successful LBT T-05 and the UAZ-P.

Specifications:
Length: 8.6 meters
Width: 3.1 meters
Height: 4 meters
Weight: 16 tons

Engine: SB-HT/LEP-E6
Transmission: SB-HTIVT-T2
Drivetrain: 4 axles (rear axle can lift off ground), operates mostly in 4wd mode, when needed can switch to 8 wheel (assuming fourth axle is on the ground, if not: 6wd)

Top road speed: 66 miles per hour
Top off-road speed: 46 miles per hour

Crew: 3 (Driver, Section Commander, Gunner) Can carry up to eight infantrymen with full gear

Armament: 45mm SB-APCG-03 Automatic cannon, 7.62mm PKT, dual ATGM racks (on each side of turret)

Armor: Exact same as T-05 amor. Layer of titanium covered by a 1 inch honeycombed aluminum layer with another 1/2 inch of solid steel outer layer, galvanized and painted.

Fording systems: The SIV-02 needs slight preparations to cross water, it has dual water jets capable of speeds up to 12 miles per hour in water and has a completely sealed off engine with an already installed snorkel system.

Systems: ALMRS/TTAC-03M, NBC, Shtora-3 defense suit, AEISCN-01, ARENA
ALMRS/TTAC-03M system: Tracks up to 22 enemies and ranks them according to range, heading, threat level, and unit-type to provide best possible firing solution. Also computes MOA and other variables and automatically sets turret and barrel to correct heading (when this feature is engaged) and can fire on up to two targets simultaneously (assuming ATGM's are on their respectable slides).

ARENA: Scrambles enemy ATGM's radars and tracking systems, also causes their navigational systems to cause them soaring into the sky until they detonate.

Shtora-3 defense suite: Scrambles enemy laser rangefinder, making it nearly impossible for enemy tank to fire, unless they guess the range. Also scrambles enemy communications systems and tracking systems.

AEISCN-01: Shares target information with other friendly units in the field along with other information, also allows friendly units in large numbers to make coordinated attacks through out the battlefield. Also allows friendly unitss to instantly reorganize into new squadrons and divisions for new assaults and also relays all information back to command. This system also checks in every 10 minutes (or shorter; can be adjusted) with GPS and military satellites to update terrain and enemy movements.


Variants:
SIV-02A (Dedicated IFV)
SIV-02B (AA gun system) Dual 14.7mm AA cannons
SIV-02C (Command Variant) Command and control system for commanding multiple units, added communications equipment and increased armor
SIV-02E (AA missile system) has dual quad-missile AA launchers (one on each side of turret)
SIV-02G (Anti-tank) has a 100mm cannon and a four-missile launcher on left side of turret
SIV-02H (Combat Engineer) has a crane/winch system, increased transmission performance, three-point hitch system, hydraulics, and repair tools

Relative cost: $780,000 of standard SIV-02
Prices for variants:
SIV-02A: $780,000
SIV-02B: $750,000
SIV-02C: $790,000

try adding just enough armour so it is still fast but can deflect a little more. Do that and we will consider buying :D
