SIV-21
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-10/415311/FutureAPC.jpg
The SIV-21, an Infantry Fighting Vehicle and APC rolled into one. It was designed to provide the ARSB with a light, 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 as well as an efficient personnel carrier. The SIV-21 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: 9.1 meters
Width: 3.3 meters
Height: 4.4 meters
Weight: 13.7 tons
Engine: SB-HT/LEP-E7(rated at 380 hp) 430 hp Diesel electric-assist engine with SB-TCU-1 turbocharger
Transmission: SB-HTIVT-T3 automatic transmission with variable gear selector (located on side of throttle control and/or steering bars, at the click of the button (click on upper portion to shift up, lower portion to shift down) you can instantly switch gears to meet the needs of the vehicle and environment. Has 22 forward gears and 6 reverse.
Drivetrain: 2 axles, operates in All-wheel drive
Top road speed: 68 miles per hour
Top off-road speed: 47 miles per hour
Range- 390 miles (with full fuel, standard load, and ideal conditions)
Crew: 3 (Driver, Section Commander, Gunner) Can carry up to eight infantrymen with full gear
Armament: twin 25mm SB-APCG-03 Automatic cannon, 7.62mm PKT, dual ATGM racks (on each side of turret), 8 smoke grenade launchers (6 filled with smoke grenades, two filled with flares) located in rear of turret.
Armor: SB-ACMCAS-1- Advanced Coarse Materiel Composite Armor System- System uses a layer of galvanized, treated steel (1/8th inch wide) on the outside that covers a 2 inch layer of coarse ceramics material with another layer of 1/8th inch treated steel behind that. An aluminum honeycomb layer follows that with a very thing layer of flexible aluminum alloy as a guard against shrapnel.
Systems:
ALMRS/TTAC-03M Mk II system: Tracks up to 44 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). When a certain feature is engaged, the weapon can automatically engaged enemy units.
SB-AFCS-S1 system: This advanced fire control system allows for the SIV-21 to engage moving targets while the unit is on the move. The barrel will always remain aimed at target while tank is in motion and will not waiver even over small hills, dips, bumps, and other obstructions. The barrel will always target enemy unit unless commander targets a new target or disengages system. The SB-AFCS-S1 system will continually track all targets and align barrel to fire on the target even if the target is on the move, the barrel will constantly update and move with the target while computing wind, weather, and MOA abilities for the best possible accuracy. The barrel will move on two different axis'. The commander's station is outfitted with nightvision capabilities, infrared capabilities, radar tracking capabilities (if an EW, radar aircraft, or radar station is near and able to send information), and advanced targetting systems. The commander's station is also outfitted with a periscope with nightvision, infrared capabilities, and a computerized screen to locate targets if they are obscured. Coupled with this system is the ALRS (Advanced Laser Range-finder System) which utilizes a laser rangefinder with a triple layer screen with crystals at different angles to scatter any enemy lasers that are attempting to disable the rangefinder. The rangefinder laser passes through a roughly 3mm hole in the screen.
ARENA: Scrambles enemy ATGM's radars and tracking systems.
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. Also interferes with enemy laser-based systems and laser-type weapons by using a controlled beam of ultraviolet rays to scatter the laser (communications systems, weapons systems, rangefinder 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 2 minutes (or shorter; can be adjusted) with GPS and military satellites to update terrain and enemy movements.
SB-AWSS: All-wheel steering system, uses an advanced hydraulics layout to actively steer all four wheels when steering the vehicle, increasing maneuverability.
SB-ATRPCS: Automatic Tire Reinflation and Pressure Control System- Allows driver to change tire pressure for maximum traction and it automatically uses one of the four on-board air pumps and compressors to reinflate the tires when they are punctured and it deploys liquid sealant into the tire to seal the puncture. Tire can run flat if necessary.
Variants:
SIV-21A (Dedicated IFV) (dual 25mm cannons, ATGM racks)
SIV-21B (AA gun system) Dual 14.7mm AA cannons
SIV-21C (Command Variant) Command and control system for commanding multiple units, added communications equipment and increased armor
SIV-21E (AA missile system) has dual quad-missile AA launchers (one on each side of turret)
SIV-21G (Anti-tank) has a 100mm ETC cannon and a four-missile ATGM launcher on left side of turret
SIV-21H (Combat Engineer) has a crane/winch system, increased transmission performance, three-point hitch system, hydraulics, and repair tools
Relative cost: $880,000 of standard SIV-02
Prices for variants:
SIV-21A: $880,000
SIV-21B: $890,000
SIV-21C: $940,000
SIV-21E: $990,000
