Description
The Hussar is designed to be a C-130 deployable and extremely mobile vehicle while retaining high survivability and lethality. The Hussar is a wheeled vehicle available in 6x6 and 8x8 combination. The Hussar family is armored by an extremely lightweight composite that provides protection from 30mm slugs over the frontal arc and 14.5mm slugs on the flanks. Between two layers of hard composite is a mesh of superfluous material that breaks up HEAT jets, protecting from RPG hits. At this protection level the vehicle weighs 15 tons, additional armor plating can be added with ease. Also, a layer of slat armor protects the vehicle further from RPG rounds. The vehicle has radar and thermal surpression plus flare and smoke dispensers installed. The vehicle is airtight with overpressure system to protect against NBC. The vehicle is armed with a 25mm grenade launcher that throws programmable HE grenades out to 2.5km and a 7.62mm machine gun on a remotely controlled turret. The turret has a x15 zoom and a thermal sight. There is a top hatch for the cargo and a hatch for the crew of 2, a driver and vehicle commander. The following modules are interchangable and allow an extreme ease of logistics. The Hussar's are powered by a 1200 horsepower hydrogen turbine engine with a maximum speed of 80 mph. The vehicles can also swim with a speed of 10mph.

Vehicles within the Hussar family
Armored Personal Carrier: The Hussar APC is designed to carry 9 infantry soldiers to the battlefield and support them there.
Cost: 1.5 million USD
Mobile Gun System: The Hussar Mobile Gun System has a remotely controlled 120mm recoilless rifle that can fire AP, HESH, and HE out to 2,500m with pinpoint accuracy using an advanced fire control system. The gun is fed by an auto-loader that holds 22 rounds and can hold another 20 rounds in storage. There is an unfoldable conveyer belt in the rear for loading ammo into the vehicle.
Cost: 2 million USD
Mortar Carrier: The Hussar Mortar Carrier holds a 120mm mortar in the rear compartment that can fire HE, illumination, and special guided rounds out to 10km. The mortar is fully electronically operated and based on a swivel plate. The mortar is loaded by a crew of 2 and aimed by the gunner in the front. 55 rounds of 120mm are stored in armored boxes. There is a unfoldable conveyer belt in the rear if the vehicle for loading ammo into the vehicle.
1.5 million USD
Box Rockets: The Box Rockets Hussar vehicle fires 24 vertically launched Common Modular rockets with a range max range of 40km. The rockets can be laser guided, thermal guided, radar guided, and visually guided. The standard anti-tank warhead is a triple HEAT warhead, there is also a scatter beehive explosive round for soft targets. A special booster engine can also be added to give the vehicle AA punch, this combined with the FRAG warhead can take down any aircraft for 40km. This vehicle has a crew of 3.
Cost: 3 million USD
Recon Vehicle: The Hussar Recon Vehicle has a mast mount of 6 meters that has a x50 zoom and a thermal sight. A single recon vehicle can also vertically launch up to 3 UAVs with a range of 15km and flight life of an hour. The UAVs has a thermal sight and laser rangefinder. The UAVs can land back on the vehicle if the vehicle is stationary. This vehicle has a crew of 4.
2.5 million USD
Anti-Tank Vehicle: The Hussar anti-tank vehicle holds 8 Kinetic Energy Missiles in two racks. The Kinetic Energy Missile has no explosive change, instead it relies of it's super dense DU tip and velocity of 7000m/s to defeat targets. The KEM can defeat all known armor at range of 8km. There are four extra missiles stored and can be reloaded by the crew in less then 30 minutes. There is a unfoldable conveyer belt in the rear for loading ammo.
2 million USD
Anti-Aircraft Vehicle: The Hussar anti-aircraft vehicle has a quad mini-gun 30mm cannons mounted on a electronically remotely operated turret. These rounds travel in excess of 1500m/s and have a ROF of 4000rpm. Also are two box launchers of Anti-Air Common Missiles, for a total of 8 missiles.

The last three Hussar Vehicles are an NBC recon vehicle that contains labs and clean-up equipment for NBC threats. A engineers's vehicle with a mine plow, and bridge layer. Plus, a medical evacuation vehicle with room for five stretcher casualties and medical facilites. These come at a cost of 1.5 million each.

The vehicles are linked across the AKIS (Ass Kicking Information System). This system shows every unit using it on a GPS map and allows instant voice and text communication while automatically sharing location and target data. The AKIS system is small enough to be used to individual infantry soldiers, weighing 10 pounds and being small as a laptop.

While we've already developed quite an APC ourselves, the WISV (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/vextra-giat4.jpg), these vehicles of yours do have some things that the WISV doesn't have. We are particularly interested in those vertical launch rockets.

How about a deal? We give you AMOS mortar systems for vertical launch rockets? Or perhaps the Brevel UAV and APC launcher for vertical launch rockets? The bRevel can provide real-time battlefield information to ground units on the move with a variety of sensor packages, including visual, thermal, and radar sensors.

Well, actually, it seems as though your vehicle can already mount it.

http://www.army-technology.com/contractor_images/patria/patria12.jpg

AMOS Advanced Mortar System is a joint-venture of Patria and Alvis Hägglunds AB, Sweden.

AMOS offers a high rate of fire, because it consists of mortar turret with double barrel 120mm mortars. Due to the turret mounting and recoil mechanism AMOS is capable of both direct and indirect fire. It has a full 360ş field of fire at elevations between +3ş - +85ş. AMOS can be mounted on wheeled or tracked APC chassis and also on boat.

All standard 120 smoothbore mortar ammunition as well as smart quided ammunition can be used in AMOS.

And here's one on a CB-90.

How many rounds does the vehicle carry?

Gregloristan is interested in purchasing a more economical version of your APC. Could it be possible to be made smaller? Most of our combat soldiers are in their early teen years, and so are quite small. We believe we could save 20-30% of your cost if you would only build them smaller for the decreased size of the personnel to be carried in them. As well, to decrease the cost, we would be willing to make sacrifices in the amount of armour our carriers had.

We eagerly await your reply.

This would be possible. I will see my lead designers about this cut down vehicle.

Also AA vehicle added.

I think around 84 rounds.

There can be any combination of rounds, LRR uses high explosive mostly (they usually blow up, so they don't leave any UXO problems, if that's any condolance to the guy who gets his leg blown off by AMOS fire) but there is also guided amunition, as well as cluster bomblet ammunition. (Not used by LRR much.)

The AMOS has a range of around 10km with standard ammunition and 15km with guiden ammunition.

The AMOS system is an excellent portable artillery system. It can deliver 26 rounds per minute on target, and takes only 30 seconds to prepare, and less than 10 seconds to pack up and drive away. Coupled with a high-mobility platform, the AMOS mortar can provide high-accuracy fire support to infantry in almost any situation.
