Our glorious nation's first and third battlegroups are expanding their naval opperations by designing a new naval combat system to paritally fill the role of a carrier group.
The new system, whose details are largely unpublished, currently lacks some elements. The battlegroups in question have decided to open the project and have announced that they are looking for a sub-contractor willing to sell the designs for some of the following.
Aero-Engine:
The engine required will be turbojet-turboshaft hybrid, capable of generating thrust but also large amounts of torque. It must be possible to adjust the ratio of thrust and torque on-the-fly, so a high-speed gearbox will also be required.
The engine must also be very durable as it will be operating at extremely low altitude and will ingest sea-spray.
Avionics:
A flight controll system to pilot an extremely unstable craft will need to be developed, as will a weapon control computer capable of deploying torpedos and a wide range of missiles.
Weapons:
Anti-air missiles will be fitted, that need to be deployed at high-speed from zero-altitude.
All corporations which help will be awarded a share in the revenue generated by the sale of the completed system or a suitable discount, should they decided to purchase it.
