WM-82 Multi Launch Rocket System

Kazakhstania has never had a MLRS system. We have only ever owned five. Of those five, we have tried to create our own. We have studied, used and tested those five systems from a variety of manufacturers and countries to make our own. And after a long time of trying and modification, we have come up with this.

So, here it is, the WM-82 MLR System. We hope you like, enjoy.

WM-82 Multi Launch Rocket System

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/wm-80-1.jpg

Design

We firstly decided to not use a full-blown MLRS concept. There are too many brilliant MLRS systems in the world, like the Smersh system and numerous others. We abandoned the M270 copy due to its too many design faults. We also dropped the other 3 designs, as they were either too heavy or we could not improve on them.

So, we decided to go for the concept of maneuverable, quick and even amphibious. We used a WM-80 concept from China, as we it fitted our constraints well. We followed it, improved on it and are proud of what we came up with. It is a brilliant design, though it has not much changed from the original design. We decided later we could not creat the amphibious design.

The chassis is constructed of a Titanium, Steel and Fiber Matrix, which is ultra strength and can carry large loads. It can stop most light bullets up to 14.5mm fire, and the armor around the cabin is ultra strengthened. It can take hits from LAW rockets and the like, without exploding. MLRS's are not designed for frontline use, so armor wasn't too much of a problem.

The actual rocket launch system is on two large hydraulic arms, and several industrial strength sprockets for holding the pods. Each container holds 4 rockets, and there are 2 rockets on the standard version. On the tracked version, there are 4 containers for 1 rocket each. These are very, very durable pods and arms.

The engine is a unique engine for this vehicle. It is a 300 horsepower Hydrogen Engine. It is modified in both versions for wheels and tracks. Both produce the same power. The wheeled version tends to go a lot quicker due to design in wheels, and the weight loss in the chassis. The tracked version has a lot more grip and can go up steeper slopes, though it cannot go as fast and weighs more, even with rubber tracks.

There are several small design features, such as slide down bars over the windows to protect from rocket blast, outside storage for personal weapons and the supercomputer, and the cabin design is mostly computerized, with wheel traction and track traction management, engine efficiency gear and others. The cabin has space for 4 persons, who are required for the firing of the rockets.

Systems

The systems on this tank are the most important factor in this vehicle. These are what makes the vehicle stand out from the rest, and the computers onboard are the most modern computers and are completely autonomous with the main supercomputer. We are proud of the features onboard, and they are what makes the vehicle stand out from the rest.

The main features are still the same. A massive supercomputer that is liquid nitrogen cooled makes calculations in nanoseconds, and can run all the computers onboard at once, still working in nanoseconds. It is a fantastic working computer for what it does, and runs no less than 7 programs at once. These include JTIDS, Firing Processes, Targeting, Onboard Control Management Computers, GPS and Location Management, Engine and Fuel Economics Maintenance and Internal Cooling Computers.

Standard is the JTIDS, which transfers and receives information quickly and automatically to and from all friendly sources. Firing Processes automatically monitors and controls the firing of the rockets, identification of individual munitions and monitoring of fired munitions in flight. GPS and location management get info from satellites in space, and fills the info to JTIDS and presents it on screens in the cabin. Engine and Fuel Economics Maintenance monitors fuel flow for optimum performance and fuel conservation. The internal cooling computers monitor the cooling of the rocket pods and engines via the water coolers, and the supercomputers via the Liquid Nitrogen.

The targeting computer is one of it's own. It can use a variety of munitions and target them, be them HEAT, HE-FRAG, HE or Cluster Munitions. It takes the type of munitions and via its databanks, it can choose the best flight plan and attack angle for the best results. It can also monitor flight plans, angles of attack and best take off areas, all presented in a user-friendly manner to the screens in the cabin.

The screens in the cabin each have their own computers. They show to the crewmembers what all the computer systems are doing, vital status, allow manual override for all computers etc. Once screen allows the controlling of the Night Vision Imager mounted on the top of the vehicle, for night vision. Also, they present the movement controls like speed, grip, gear, RPM and percentage of climb. All add up to a very user-friendly vehicle.

Arnament

The arnament on the vehicle depends very much on the model the non-tracked, or wheeled, model can carry 8 273mm rockets of all munitions mentioned earlier. The tracked model carries 4 rockets of the same size and type. The firing racks are liquid cooled for quick reloading and lasting use.

Various secondary arnaments are on this vehicle. These include a mounted PKM .50 caliber Machine Gun and a rotating mount on top of a hatch for the 4th crew member, and personal weapons can be stowed in the hatch in the rear of the cabin. There are 6 vertical grenade dispensers for Chaff, Flares and of course smoke. This allows for quick concealment. Also, a camo net in the color of your choice is fitted in the cargo hatch.

It is a well-armed vehicle, even though the arms are few. Enjoy these stats:

I've seen a lot of good things from Kazakhstania in the past. We would like to inquire:

What is the purpose for these vehicles?
What are the differences between the two versions?
01-01-2004, 23:56
(We want the tracked version Kaz)

Zoogie, one is tracked and the other is a 4X4 wheeled.

Wow, orders confirmed :)

Well,s ome things to clear up. The tracked version has better grip but carries less. The 4x4 has a bigger arnament but is better for roads and paths.

It is 4x4. You know, four tires on each side. There are 8 alltogether, but 4 on each side.

Order Confirmed. Thanks for the linkies.

By the way, its role is a battlefield support artillery barrage vehicle. It is designed to be high speed and mobility, and high maneuverability.

We have encountered many foes in our history here at NationStates and have fought many great wars. We thought that our fighting days were behind us. Sadly we feel that we were wrong. Cannabis Island was a peaceful region that RPers of all kind got along. Those days are gone. We have many boiling points exploding between many nations and are sure RP wars are about.

This brings me to my question and assures you I am serious about all transactions. What discounts do you offer for mass amounts? Do you have anything else that your nation is producing that could help me in military power?

I am sorry I took so much of your time. Thank you.

I'd like to repeat my order, as well as purchase production rights.

Alright :lol: I've already got some ideas for a future long-range strike system or bomber...mind if I do the RP'ing and producing with Zoogie People instead? CA uses...well...the Chinese Army with some foreign imports (i.e; your products) while Zoogie People does all the developing.
