Horizon battlefield AWACS
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/horizon-cougar1.jpg
The Horizon system (Helicoptre d'Observation Radar et d'Investigation sur Zone) consists of the AS 532UL Cougar and a ground station. The Cougar helicopter operates behind the front line at an altitude of up to 4000 meters to survey the battlefield with the Thomson-CSF Target radar. This X-band radar with a swivelling antenna below the rear fuselage has a range resolution of approximately 40 meters and a target velocity accuracy of +/- seven km/h. In snapshot mode the radar can scan 20000 sq km in ten seconds. Horizon is able to survey the movements of up to 4000 wheeled or tracked vehicles at distances of up to 200 km. To compliment this system is the standard LRR ECM suite. The Horizon ground station can be built into almost any modern APC or truck.
Specifications:
Same as the standard Cougar, except with filtered high-efficency turboshaft engines, and the electronics suite.
Cost: 10 million USD
Cougar Multipurpose Helicopter
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/puma-42p02.jpg
The Cougar is an excellent multipurpose battlefield helicopter, well armed and fast. LRR uses domestically modified Cougars for CSAR and MEDEVAC duties. The CSAR variant is equipped with a ground search radar, as well as FLIR and LANTERN systems, standard. Also standard is an infra-red jamming system, capable of jamming all known shoulder-launched and light SAM missiles, and capable of jamming most older air-launched IR missiles. Also standard is a pair of 20mm cannons mounted co-axially in the two cargo doors. They can be slid into neat storage positions and brought out when they are needed. Optional are two gunner-controlled 7.62mm minigun pods on the sides of the helicopter.

Atlantique II ASW/Patrol aircraft
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/geratlanticsig.jpg
The Atlantique is LRR's production coastal patrol type. While it is not particularly large or fast, the domestically modified version has many advangages over larger aircraft. First of all, it is far easier to hide. Ease of concealment is essential for LRR field aircraft, because the lack of established facilities forces LRRAF and LRRN squadrons to operate from roads and fields. To be able to hide aircraft int he surrounding woods is very important, and the Atlantique is very easy to hide. With a standard LRR camoflauge sceme, it is very hard to spot. Another advantage is that it can operate from almost any flat, reasonably hard surface with minimal facilities. All that is needed is a set of fuel trucks and maintainance wagons. The Altantique's search radar is of excellent quality, and can detect at ranges of up to 40km a raised periscope. It also has outstanding ASW systems, and can detect certain steath aircraft at up to 40km.

Cormorant ASW/Patrol Amphibious Aircraft
The Cormorant (http://www.butovo.com/~nw/images/BE/CC%20Beriev.jpg)
(We apologize for any inconvenience caused in linking)
The Cormorant is the ultimate ASW/Patrol aircraft. The 20 in LRR service have shown their high utility in coastal and high seas operations.
In a standard LRR camo scheme, the Cormorant is an impressive aircraft. Capable of sprint speeds of just over Mach 2, the Cormorant is easily as fast as most modern fighters. While not as manouverable, the Cormorant does have limited thrust-vectoring, and fly-by-wire control systems. The Cormorant has the same payload as most modern ASW aircraft, 250lbs more than the Nimrod, to be exact. The Cormorant can land at unprepared airfields, and can operate from 7ft seas. The Cormorant can be hauled onto a beach, re-armed, repaired, refueled, and sent on its merry way in under 1 1/2 hours by a trained crew. The Cormorant's range is over 6,500nmi, and endurance is over 20 hours, more with external fuel tanks.
The Cormorant's payload consists of two SSN-29 torpedo-rockets, 4 SSN-27 cruise missiles, 6 Yakhont ASMs, or up to ten type 613 or similar torpedos.

Tornado Series Multirole Combat Aircraft
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/tornado-gr1_8.jpg
The Tornado is an excellent multi-mission aircraft, coming in three main varieties- Ground Attack, Interceptor, and Wild Weasel. It is excellent at low-level penetration missions, and its terrain-following radar is one of the best on the market. While the Tornado is no longer anything special as far as fighters go, it has high utility as an ASM carrier for coastal defense. But by far the Tornado's best ability lies in its low altitude penetration capablities. Capable of carrying all sorts of ordanance, the Tornado can come in at high speed towards a radar post or airfield and deliver munitions on target before anyone knows what has happened.

The Mirage 2000 is a world-class fighter/interceptor platform, and a capable ground attacker. The two-seat 2000N is capable of delivering high payloads on target from low altitude and high speed. The Mirage 2000-5 is a multi-role single-seater or two seater fighter. It differs from its predecessors mainly in its avionics; its new multiple target air-to-ground and air-to-air firing procedures linked to the use of RDY radar and its new visualization and control system. As a multi-role combat aircraft with versatile air-to-air mission capabilities, the Mirage 2000-5 integrates the state-of-the-art of the know-how based on the experience gained from the previous Mirage 2000 versions (Mirage 2000 DA, Mirage 2000 E, Mirage 2000 D) and is designed for the most-advanced armaments.

Mirage F-1 Interceptor
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/mf1c.jpg
Following on the Mirage F-2, which was a revival of the classic arrow-wing design with stabilizers, the Mirage F-1 is a defense and air superiority single-seater plane. This revival was made possible by technological advances which permit manufacture of ultra-thin but robust wings, enabling at supersonic speeds flight performance equivalent to that of delta wings. The integrity of the fuselage structure allows the aircraft to carry a maximum amount of fuel.
The wings are high-mounted, swept-back, and tapered. Missiles are usually mounted at the wing tips. There is one turbojet engine in the body. There are semicircular air intakes alongside the body forward of the wing roots. There is a single exhaust. The fuselage is long, slender, pointed nose and a blunt tail. There are two small belly fins under the tail section and a bubble canopy. The tail is swept-back and tapered fin with a blunt tip. The flats are mid-mounted on the fuselage, swept-back, and tapered with blunt tips.

Jaguar II CAS/Interdiction Aircraft
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/jaguar-wjag_war.jpg[img]
The Jaguar II is an improvement of one of the best foreward support aircraft in existence today. Its role is similar in many respects to the Tornado, but the Jaguar can operate from much more primitive facilities and with much less maintainance than the larger Tornado. The Jaguar forms most of the LRRAF Frontal Aviation ground attack squadrons.
The Jaguar II has improved STOL characteristics, and a slightly larger weapons load than the regular Jaguar. The heavily reinforced landing gear on the Jaguar allows it to operate from almost anywhere, and the two L&F RM 15 jets can withstand debris that would destroy most other aircraft. Whereas most fighters today are built to operate from traditional heavily defended regional airbases, Jaguar squadrons can be made fully independent with the addition of a mobile airfield team, consisting of fuel trucks, portable SAMs, and maintainance wagons.

Egrett High-Altitude Long-Endurance Radar System
[img]http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/egrett-pl-00276.jpg
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/egrett1.gif
While the aircraft's appearance may be nothing to be proud of, the capabilities of the Egrett make it one of the best patrol/surveillance aircraft there is. The Egrett is capable of carrying about 750kg of payload to a maximum altitude of 50,000ft (15km) and stay there for around 8 hours, depending on the mission profile. Normal cruising speed (indicated air speed, IAS) at altitude is 130-150kts (65-75m/s) with a true air speed (TAS) of about Mach 0.45. Its maximum range at altitude is about 1500NM (2800km). The aircraft can operate from most sealed runways. No special airport infrastructure is required. It is powered by a single L&F turboprop engine and is certified as a normal aircraft under Australian, German and US regulations for flight under all-weather conditions (IFR/icing). The normal crew consists of a pilot occupying the front seat and a systems operator/scientist occupying the rear seat.
As the Egrett was originally designed as a reconnaissance aircraft, its modular fuselage structure offers ample and simple options for a large number of down- or sidewards looking apertures in the fuselage. The whole lower section of the forward fuselage is non-structural and modifications to this part are rather simple. Upwards looking apertures do not exist currently, but will be retro-fitted once required.

Mi-8/17 Transport Helicopter
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/mi-17.jpg
The MI-17 is a multirole helicopter used to resupply CLF guerrillas or insert PSOC detachments. It can also be very heavily armed with an extensive array or rockets, misslies and guns. It is often used to air assault infantry forces to attack the point of penetration, reinforce units in contact or disrupt counterattacks. Additional missions include; attack, direct air support, electronic warfare, airborne early warning, medevac, search and rescue, and minelaying.
It is an improved development of the Mi-8. The airframe structure, transport capabilities and equipment are essentially identical with those of the Mi-8. There are some features which make it different from the Mi-8 - engine intakes have deflectors to separate solid particles in the air (sand, dust etc.) and prevent them from ingestion. The Mi-17 can be recognized because it has the tail rotor at the starboard side, instead of the port side. The Mi-17 added a number of improvements to its predecessor, including a vibration damper to increase comfort for crew members and passengers. It is equipped with an outstanding navigation and information system and state-of-the-art communication devices, which permit safe transportation of passengers even in very adverse weather conditions by day or night. The helicopter features a high thrust-to-weight ratio pair of TVZ-117MT or TVZ-117VM shaft-turbine engines with a takeoff power of 1,900 hp. The Mi-17 is capable of single-engine flight in the event of loss of power by one engine (depending on aircraft mission weight) because of an engine load sharing system. If one engine fails, the other engine’s output is automatically increased to allow continued flight.
The basic version of the Mi-17 is used for military, police and civilian purposes. It is equipped with efficient self-defence means including IR jammer. The cockpit accommodates a crew of three. The cargo hold is 5.34 m long, 2.32 m wide and 1.8 m high. There is a large sliding door forward on the portside, and a clamshell freight-loading door in the rear. The landing gear is a non-retractable tricycle type with twin-wheel nose unit. On each side of the fuselage there is a pylon for an external fuel tank with a total capacity of 1830 litres both.
The Mi-17 is capable of carrying cargoes in the cabin (including long cargo) with half-open or removed doors, external loads, or passengers (24 people). The Mi-17 can carry up to 30 troops and up to 20 wounded; it can also be used for in-flight unloading of special cargoes. The transport version of the MI-17 helicopter is intended to carry cargoes (loads) in the cargo compartment, including long-size cargo with partially- opened or removed cargo doors, external loads, or executives (up to 24 persons). Interior seats are removable for cargo carrying. The rear clamshell doors open, an internal winch facilitates loading of heavy freight. Floor has tiedown rings throughout. The aircraft carries a rescue hoist capable to 150 kg.
External stores are mounted on weapons racks on each side of the fuselage. The Mi-17 has six external hardpoints. The Mi-17 is provided with missiles, bombs, small arms and cannons. It carries four missile launchers of the B8V20 type, with missiles launched with the aid of an on-board PUS-31-71 electrical fire control system. The BDZ-57KRVM bomb carrier is used for the attachment of bombs up to 500kg. Not all vailable munitions are employed at one time, mission dictates weapon configuration. The helicopter carries four UPK-23-250 gun containers with GSh-23L 23mm guns and pivoted mounts (eight units). The forward and aft hemispheres are protected by PKT machine-guns with independent power supply and remote control circuits.
The helicopter may be provided with longrange communication equipment and a radar, and it can carry equipment with phased-array antennas for suppression of enemy electronic attack and air defence facilities, such as airborne radars, air defence (artillery) weapons control radars, surveillance and target detection radars and missile radar homing heads. The ECM equipment can work both in the reconnaissance and ECM modes or in the reconnaissance mode.

Hauk Class Patrol Boat
http://www.26mtb.com/Loggbok-bilder/uke1903/hauk.jpg
the Hauk class is an excellent patrol boat, with wonderful seakeeping characteristics and unparallelled reliability. It forms the bulk of the LRRN patrol group. (The Skjold is used as a missile boat.)
The Hauk class patrol boat is equipped with a ground/air search radar with a range of over 100km, and has top-of-the-line ASW systems. The boat's two Type-613 torpedos are designed to engage all types of submarines. The Hauk also has an ultra-quiet hydrogen fuel cell propulsuion system, with anti-explosion safeties. The boat itself can reach a top speed of 45 knots.
In terms of armerment, the Hauk carries mostly light weaponry. On the foreward deck, a 40mm cannon is mounted for the engagement of surface targets and helicopters. Mounted in a tub behind the bridge is a combined ship defense system, consisting of a millennium gun combined with a RAM launcher and chaff dispensers. It has shown 85% success in downing modern ASMs fired at the ship. Also carried by the Hauk are two RBS-15 anti-ship missiles, to be used for long range engagement of ships and ground targets.
The small size of the Hauk makes it very easy to hide, and they can easily be concealed around rocks and inland waterways.

Atlantique II ASW/Patrol aircraft
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/geratlanticsig.jpg
The Atlantique is LRR's production coastal patrol type. While it is not particularly large or fast, the domestically modified version has many advangages over larger aircraft. First of all, it is far easier to hide. Ease of concealment is essential for LRR field aircraft, because the lack of established facilities forces LRRAF and LRRN squadrons to operate from roads and fields. To be able to hide aircraft int he surrounding woods is very important, and the Atlantique is very easy to hide. With a standard LRR camoflauge sceme, it is very hard to spot. Another advantage is that it can operate from almost any flat, reasonably hard surface with minimal facilities. All that is needed is a set of fuel trucks and maintainance wagons. The Altantique's search radar is of excellent quality, and can detect at ranges of up to 40km a raised periscope. It also has outstanding ASW systems, and can detect certain steath aircraft at up to 40km.

Cormorant ASW/Patrol Amphibious Aircraft
The Cormorant (http://www.butovo.com/~nw/images/BE/CC%20Beriev.jpg)
(We apologize for any inconvenience caused in linking)
The Cormorant is the ultimate ASW/Patrol aircraft. The 20 in LRR service have shown their high utility in coastal and high seas operations.
In a standard LRR camo scheme, the Cormorant is an impressive aircraft. Capable of sprint speeds of just over Mach 2, the Cormorant is easily as fast as most modern fighters. While not as manouverable, the Cormorant does have limited thrust-vectoring, and fly-by-wire control systems. The Cormorant has the same payload as most modern ASW aircraft, 250lbs more than the Nimrod, to be exact. The Cormorant can land at unprepared airfields, and can operate from 7ft seas. The Cormorant can be hauled onto a beach, re-armed, repaired, refueled, and sent on its merry way in under 1 1/2 hours by a trained crew. The Cormorant's range is over 6,500nmi, and endurance is over 20 hours, more with external fuel tanks.
The Cormorant's payload consists of two SSN-29 torpedo-rockets, 4 SSN-27 cruise missiles, 6 Yakhont ASMs, or up to ten type 613 or similar torpedos.

Tornado Series Multirole Combat Aircraft
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/tornado-gr1_8.jpg
The Tornado is an excellent multi-mission aircraft, coming in three main varieties- Ground Attack, Interceptor, and Wild Weasel. It is excellent at low-level penetration missions, and its terrain-following radar is one of the best on the market. While the Tornado is no longer anything special as far as fighters go, it has high utility as an ASM carrier for coastal defense. But by far the Tornado's best ability lies in its low altitude penetration capablities. Capable of carrying all sorts of ordanance, the Tornado can come in at high speed towards a radar post or airfield and deliver munitions on target before anyone knows what has happened.

Mirage F-1 Interceptor
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/mf1c.jpg
Following on the Mirage F-2, which was a revival of the classic arrow-wing design with stabilizers, the Mirage F-1 is a defense and air superiority single-seater plane. This revival was made possible by technological advances which permit manufacture of ultra-thin but robust wings, enabling at supersonic speeds flight performance equivalent to that of delta wings. The integrity of the fuselage structure allows the aircraft to carry a maximum amount of fuel.
The wings are high-mounted, swept-back, and tapered. Missiles are usually mounted at the wing tips. There is one turbojet engine in the body. There are semicircular air intakes alongside the body forward of the wing roots. There is a single exhaust. The fuselage is long, slender, pointed nose and a blunt tail. There are two small belly fins under the tail section and a bubble canopy. The tail is swept-back and tapered fin with a blunt tip. The flats are mid-mounted on the fuselage, swept-back, and tapered with blunt tips.

Jaguar II CAS/Interdiction Aircraft
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/jaguar-wjag_war.jpg[img]
The Jaguar II is an improvement of one of the best foreward support aircraft in existence today. Its role is similar in many respects to the Tornado, but the Jaguar can operate from much more primitive facilities and with much less maintainance than the larger Tornado. The Jaguar forms most of the LRRAF Frontal Aviation ground attack squadrons.
The Jaguar II has improved STOL characteristics, and a slightly larger weapons load than the regular Jaguar. The heavily reinforced landing gear on the Jaguar allows it to operate from almost anywhere, and the two L&F RM 15 jets can withstand debris that would destroy most other aircraft. Whereas most fighters today are built to operate from traditional heavily defended regional airbases, Jaguar squadrons can be made fully independent with the addition of a mobile airfield team, consisting of fuel trucks, portable SAMs, and maintainance wagons.

Egrett High-Altitude Long-Endurance Radar System
[img]http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/images/egrett-pl-00276.jpg
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/egrett1.gif
While the aircraft's appearance may be nothing to be proud of, the capabilities of the Egrett make it one of the best patrol/surveillance aircraft there is. The Egrett is capable of carrying about 750kg of payload to a maximum altitude of 50,000ft (15km) and stay there for around 8 hours, depending on the mission profile. Normal cruising speed (indicated air speed, IAS) at altitude is 130-150kts (65-75m/s) with a true air speed (TAS) of about Mach 0.45. Its maximum range at altitude is about 1500NM (2800km). The aircraft can operate from most sealed runways. No special airport infrastructure is required. It is powered by a single L&F turboprop engine and is certified as a normal aircraft under Australian, German and US regulations for flight under all-weather conditions (IFR/icing). The normal crew consists of a pilot occupying the front seat and a systems operator/scientist occupying the rear seat.
As the Egrett was originally designed as a reconnaissance aircraft, its modular fuselage structure offers ample and simple options for a large number of down- or sidewards looking apertures in the fuselage. The whole lower section of the forward fuselage is non-structural and modifications to this part are rather simple. Upwards looking apertures do not exist currently, but will be retro-fitted once required.

Mi-8/17 Transport Helicopter
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/mi-17.jpg
The MI-17 is a multirole helicopter used to resupply CLF guerrillas or insert PSOC detachments. It can also be very heavily armed with an extensive array or rockets, misslies and guns. It is often used to air assault infantry forces to attack the point of penetration, reinforce units in contact or disrupt counterattacks. Additional missions include; attack, direct air support, electronic warfare, airborne early warning, medevac, search and rescue, and minelaying.
It is an improved development of the Mi-8. The airframe structure, transport capabilities and equipment are essentially identical with those of the Mi-8. There are some features which make it different from the Mi-8 - engine intakes have deflectors to separate solid particles in the air (sand, dust etc.) and prevent them from ingestion. The Mi-17 can be recognized because it has the tail rotor at the starboard side, instead of the port side. The Mi-17 added a number of improvements to its predecessor, including a vibration damper to increase comfort for crew members and passengers. It is equipped with an outstanding navigation and information system and state-of-the-art communication devices, which permit safe transportation of passengers even in very adverse weather conditions by day or night. The helicopter features a high thrust-to-weight ratio pair of TVZ-117MT or TVZ-117VM shaft-turbine engines with a takeoff power of 1,900 hp. The Mi-17 is capable of single-engine flight in the event of loss of power by one engine (depending on aircraft mission weight) because of an engine load sharing system. If one engine fails, the other engine’s output is automatically increased to allow continued flight.
The basic version of the Mi-17 is used for military, police and civilian purposes. It is equipped with efficient self-defence means including IR jammer. The cockpit accommodates a crew of three. The cargo hold is 5.34 m long, 2.32 m wide and 1.8 m high. There is a large sliding door forward on the portside, and a clamshell freight-loading door in the rear. The landing gear is a non-retractable tricycle type with twin-wheel nose unit. On each side of the fuselage there is a pylon for an external fuel tank with a total capacity of 1830 litres both.
The Mi-17 is capable of carrying cargoes in the cabin (including long cargo) with half-open or removed doors, external loads, or passengers (24 people). The Mi-17 can carry up to 30 troops and up to 20 wounded; it can also be used for in-flight unloading of special cargoes. The transport version of the MI-17 helicopter is intended to carry cargoes (loads) in the cargo compartment, including long-size cargo with partially- opened or removed cargo doors, external loads, or executives (up to 24 persons). Interior seats are removable for cargo carrying. The rear clamshell doors open, an internal winch facilitates loading of heavy freight. Floor has tiedown rings throughout. The aircraft carries a rescue hoist capable to 150 kg.
External stores are mounted on weapons racks on each side of the fuselage. The Mi-17 has six external hardpoints. The Mi-17 is provided with missiles, bombs, small arms and cannons. It carries four missile launchers of the B8V20 type, with missiles launched with the aid of an on-board PUS-31-71 electrical fire control system. The BDZ-57KRVM bomb carrier is used for the attachment of bombs up to 500kg. Not all vailable munitions are employed at one time, mission dictates weapon configuration. The helicopter carries four UPK-23-250 gun containers with GSh-23L 23mm guns and pivoted mounts (eight units). The forward and aft hemispheres are protected by PKT machine-guns with independent power supply and remote control circuits.
The helicopter may be provided with longrange communication equipment and a radar, and it can carry equipment with phased-array antennas for suppression of enemy electronic attack and air defence facilities, such as airborne radars, air defence (artillery) weapons control radars, surveillance and target detection radars and missile radar homing heads. The ECM equipment can work both in the reconnaissance and ECM modes or in the reconnaissance mode.

The Gull Class WIG is one of the only of its kind in the world. It is designed as a high-speed shore patrol craft, cheaper than patrol boats and easy to operate. With a range of over 700km in ground effect and 500km out of ground effect, the Gull has a good patrol range. Endurance at cruising speed is up to 12 hours.
The Gull is a small craft, and as such easy to transport and conceal. The Gull can carry four Brimstone or two Kormoran AS. 24 anti-ship missiles, as well as a 20mm cannon turret above the weapons officer's position. Air defense is provided by any carried shoulder-fired SAMs. The Gull has remarkable manouverability for its design, and is very useful as a fisheries patrol and rescue craft, as there is room for three passengers when the craft is not carrying any armerment.
Cost: 850,000 USD

Hauk Class Patrol Boat
http://www.26mtb.com/Loggbok-bilder/uke1903/hauk.jpg
the Hauk class is an excellent patrol boat, with wonderful seakeeping characteristics and unparallelled reliability. It forms the bulk of the LRRN patrol group. (The Skjold is used as a missile boat.)
The Hauk class patrol boat is equipped with a ground/air search radar with a range of over 100km, and has top-of-the-line ASW systems. The boat's two Type-613 torpedos are designed to engage all types of submarines. The Hauk also has an ultra-quiet hydrogen fuel cell propulsuion system, with anti-explosion safeties. The boat itself can reach a top speed of 45 knots.
In terms of armerment, the Hauk carries mostly light weaponry. On the foreward deck, a 40mm cannon is mounted for the engagement of surface targets and helicopters. Mounted in a tub behind the bridge is a combined ship defense system, consisting of a millennium gun combined with a RAM launcher and chaff dispensers. It has shown 85% success in downing modern ASMs fired at the ship. Also carried by the Hauk are two RBS-15 anti-ship missiles, to be used for long range engagement of ships and ground targets.
The small size of the Hauk makes it very easy to hide, and they can easily be concealed around rocks and inland waterways.
