F-16T
Image (http://www.voodoo.cz/falcon/old/f16147.jpg)

The F-16T is a multi-role fighter that is very capable at both air superiority and ground attack roles. It's avionics have been improved, allowing the F-16T to attack effectively beyond visual range. During development, major efforts were sought to keep down the cost of the final product. The F-16XL airframe was selected based on maneuverability and its low cost. A delta wing is used to reduce drag at supersonic levels. The F-16T uses the TN-2 turbofan which gives the F-16T a cruising speed of Mach 1.3. 3-D Thrust-vectoring allows the F-16T to achieve very tight turns, resulting in dogfighting capabilities similar to that of the Su-37. The standard radar on the F-16T is the Sky Matrix system Version One with a range of 80km. There is also a rear facing radar which has a range of 50km. Avionics are compatible to the Eurofighter's.

F-36T Taurus
Image (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/x-36-2585183.jpg)

The F-36T is Taipei's next generation air superiority fighter. It has begun replacing the F-22s in Taiwan's air forces. It features state-of-the-art active radar cancellation technology and has the radar signature the size of a small eagle to defeat radars at range. The propulsion and thrust-vectoring on the F-36 are Ching-Kuo's pride and joy. Fully 3D, the F-36T is capable of ESTOL and VTOL as well as unsurpassed maneuverability which is also enhanced by the use of composite flexible materials. The TN-3 turbofan is capable of supercruising at the whopping speed of Mach 1.8. The ECM and ECCM suite on the F-36T is capable of jamming missiles and enemy radars more effectively than the F-22. To counter enemy stealth aircraft, the RQ-1000 phased radar onboard is enormously powerful. With the front radar able to detect a fighter sized object an enormous 480km away in detailed scan mode, 320km away in normal mode, and 180km away in stealth mode, even small radar signatures can be detected. The rear radar has a range of around 60% of the front one.

E-720 Airbourne Unified Command System (AUCS)
With the creation of the S-720 Superliner, it is now possible to fully intergrate various command systems into one powerful and versatile aircraft.

The E-720 uses the Crookfurian designed MK1206: A next generation system for larger aircraft with general scan capable of detecting fighter sized objects at 2000km and can give detail scan at 2400km, the control system can handle upwards of 5000 traces. It has a low crew requirement for such a massive system due to high degree of automation and computer processing. Features full Doppler scanning for detection of stealth targets.

The E-720 also features Taiwan's EAST active stealth technologies, with the most powerful version yet. The E-720 EAST module is one hundred times more powerful than the previous versions, although at the expense of extra weight. On full power, the E-720 EAST can reduce the radar signature of the aircraft to 0.002% of it's original size.

Also equipped on the aircraft are JSTARS-T systems, with the ability to give photo-resolution scans of the ground and co-ordinate units accordingly. The upgrades in T are the ability to guide ground attack weapons using semi-active radar and an increase in range to 320km (at the cost of weight). There are also the standard ECM facilities equipped and electronic eavesdropping equipment onboard.

With room for future expansion and a planned LIDAR system, the E-720 will serve the ROCAF's support needs for the 21st century.

Crew: 14 short mission, 22 long mission
Endurance: 18 hours, 27 with mid-air refueling

Nanfung missile (NF-I)
Function: Sea/Air-launched Anti-ship missile
Length: 3.9m (10.5m)
Diameter: 45cm (65cm)
Wingspan: 35cm (50cm)
Range: 40km A, 190km B, 380km C
Speed: Mach 2.2
Warhead: High explosive (1,100lbs)
Weight: 2,200kg A, 4,500kg B, 6,500kg C
Guidance: IR/Active Radar terminal, GPS navigation
Thrust: Solid Rocket motor producing 4,800lbs (6,000lbs)

The Nanfung A is compatible with most western aircraft. Although it weighs more than the AGM-84 Harpoon, it is just over half the weight of a SS-22 Sunburn, allowing it to be air-launched on even light strike aircraft. The Nanfung's lethality is unsurpassed due to several innovative features. Its high speed (3x faster than the Harpoon) gives the target little time to respond. Even if the Nanfung is targeted by CIWS, it still stands a good chance of hitting its target due to the presence of a DU tip protecting the motor and the warhead (The guidance and radar will be destroyed though). Based on the range of the Phalanx CIWS, the Nanfung will still succeed in hitting the target 90%+ times. On impact, penetration is almost definite. An AI onboard allows CIWS dodging maneuvers. A sea-launched version with much greater range is also available. Specs for the sea-launched version are in brackets.

Cost:
Nanfung A (Air-launched) - $0.6m
Nanfung B (Sea-launched) - $0.7m
Nanfung C (GPS Sea launched) - $0.8m

**Nanfung II (NF-2)**

A major upgrade to the earlier versions, with several new technologies. Designed to be surface-launched or bomber-launched. The missile's airframe has been subjected to extended redesign to decrease drag and increase penetration, with increased effectiveness against new generation trimaran and pentamaran ships. A propulsion upgrade featuring a pulse-detonation assisted supercruise capable turbofan. This improves the maneuverability and speed of the missile and allows it a re-attack capability. The engine also allows greater range than it's predecessor. The second generation onboard CIWS dodging A.I is based on software instead of hardware, allowing easy upgrades. A radar jammer is also included in the missile, which can jam the CIWS search radars and in some cases the AN/SPY-1 MFR radar.

Length: 10.5m
Diameter: 0.9m
Wingspan: 2.2m
Range: 500km
Speed: Mach 2.8
Warhead: High explosive (1,100lbs)
Weight: 6,500kg
Guidance: IR/Millimeter Radar terminal, GPS navigation
Powerplant: PDE assisted turbofan

Cost: $1.2m

Block 7 onwards uses a third-generation AI and 2D thrust-vectoring, allowing the NF-II to dodge AEGIS-guided missile countermeasures and increased effectiveness against fast moving targets. RAM has also been used on some surfaces to reduce RCS by 85%. The inclusion of an active-cancellation device further reduces cross-section.

ALRAAM (Advanced Long Range Air to Air missile)
The ALRAAM is as long range missile designed to give large aircraft the ability to intercept bombers and other large aircraft from a distance.

MK600 heavyweight torpedo
The MK600 is a submarine/air/ship launched torpedo that exploits the phenomenon of supercavitation to travel at devastating speeds around five times faster than conventional torpedoes, at which there is no effective countermeasure. One drawback to supercavitation is that it cannot allow turning, and thus the MK600 is limited to a 3 degree per second turns. It is capable of slowing down to 50 knots to search, compensating for it's lack of maneuverability The sheer size and speed of the torpedo with the help of a DU tip can also penetrate even heavy armor.

Function: Supercavitating ship/air launched torpedo
Length: 8.5m
Diameter: 0.5m
Range: 22km
Speed: 200 knots
Powerplant: Solid rocket
Weight: 3,600kg

Maritime Meteor (BVRAAM)
A navalised version of the Matra Meteor BVRAAM. When compared to the ESSM (Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile), it has superior performance against low-flying targets and high speed targets. The Maritime Meteor (MM) also features advanced air-breathing technology, providing sufficient acceleration to hit aircraft at the extremities of range – thus, max range is the effective range. The MM is also futureproofed, with only cheap software upgrades instead of hardware upgrades and can operate reliably under heavy EW conditions. It is launched from the standard VLS cell.

Length: 3.9m
Diameter: 0.5m
Wingspan: 0.7m
Range: 85km

Cost: $0.4m

MFR-2
The MFR-2 is an active phased array radar system (APAR). APAR systems are more capable than current systems and allow targets to be simultaneously tracked and for missiles to be launched by the same systems. The MFR-2 is rated at 3.2MW, producing 80% of the power of AN/SPY-1 for 50% of the weight, giving AEGIS-grade capabilities to smaller vessels. It features improved differentiation abilities for low flying targets and ground clutter. It can also be linked up to Early Warning aircraft and to other MFR-2 systems, overcoming the weaknesses of previous radars against sea-skimming missiles.

The MFR-2 also substitutes the CIWS search radars, giving them greater reaction time and lower cost.

Cost: $35m

Patriot T
The Patiot T programme is the evolution of the PAC-III SAM, featuring two versions. Both can be guided by AWACS or LIDAR to defeat stealth targets. The Patriot T also uses ground-based Phased Array Doppler radars, and the launcher can be stored up to 5km away from the radar. The Patriot T is extremely hard to jam.

**PAC-T-6**
A large missile (almost 8m long) designed to exceed the S-400/SA20 in range and effectiveness. With a range of 420km, the PAC-T-6 can destroy early warning aircraft, cargo planes, cruise missiles, and other large/unmanvuerable aircraft. Eight PAC-T-6 missiles can be loaded at once.

**PAC-T-7**
A hit-to-kill, highly manuverable interceptor missile equipped with thrust-vectoring and a highly reliable system of control panels to increase anuverability.With a range of 160km and a single shot kill probability against modern aircraft of 0.96, the PAC-T-7 will ensure Taiwanese air dominance in the next decade. Fourteen PAC-T-7 missiles can be loaded in the launcher.

Cost:
PAC-T-6 - $0.8m/missile
PAC-T-7 - $0.7m/missile

Taipei- CK-ROC systems has announced it's R&D budget for the year 2010.

Among the missile division, new R&D proposals were present following the completion of the Evolved Harpoon and the NF-II. The ASRAAM-T continues to undergo final testing, and will thus require funds until the completion of the project in March.

For the missile division, the R&D concepts are:

*The 'Maritime Meteor' - A navalised version of the Meteor BVRAAM produced by French company Matra. Negotiations continue with regard to a profit sharing deal. However, $1.2 billion has already been earmarked to his project.

For the fighter division:

Negotiations with the Eurofighter consortium have been intense as CK-ROC management have expressed interest in the purchase of production plans for the Typhoon. The negotiations are expected to conclude within the month.

Hudecian air forces are badly out of date and we are looking to upgrade. So, we would like to purchase:

1 S-500 ($210million)
100 F-36T Taurus ($47 million)

total: $4.91 billion

What is the "Maritime Meteor" project?

This (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/bvraam.htm) is the Meteor air-to-air missile. The Maritime Meteor will be a naval version.

As Hudecia is a close ally of Taiwan, the sale has been fast-tracked and a 5% discount refunded.

The first batch of 25 F-36Ts have been delivered, with the other orders estimated to be complete within the year.

All outstanding orders have now been filled.

A CK-ROC Spokesman announced today the plans for the S720 - the largest airliner ever, with a project passenger capacity of 1500 - 1800.

Hmm... do you mind if Hudecia purchases a large number of the Maritime Meteor missiles (once they are ready) for its new Province Class destroyer?

We'll share more details once we have worked them out.

Of course, Hudecia will be permitted.

(OOC: I'm having real trouble on it, it's classified in R.L. It'll probably be ready by next week.)

BUMP for new airline

(OOC: Someone with expertise please take a look at my thrust for the airliners. Are they realistic?)

THe Maritime Meteor has been approved for limited export to Taipei's allies.

As Hudecia begins preparations for its new Province class destroyer, it would like to purchase 1000 of the Maritime Meteor.

Total cost: $4 billion

With the receipt of the transaction, armaments have begun their delivery to Hudecia. The order is expected to take Five months to complete.

With the completion of the Maritime Meteor missile and the final touches being applied to the E-720, CK-ROC has released outlines for it's projects in the next quarter:

*CK ROC has won a government tender to construct a successor to the AN/SPY-1D radar as an alternative to the AN/SPY-3 to complement it's next generation 'AEGIS II'.

*Following the acquistion of blueprints for the S-400, CK-ROC plant to develop a new variant of the Patriot SAM.

*For two years, CK-ROC has been making preparations for a foray into the more lucrative naval market. These rumors were confirmed last month by CK-ROC's purchase of the East Taiwan Shipyards Co. The first project, a marriage of air and naval systems, is a planned light carrier, with a capacity of between 10-16 aircraft.
