DP-02 Multi-role Fighter



Purpose
The DP-02A was built to be an exceptional multi-purpose fighter (Also known as a fighter-bomber). Its primary role has been its ability for air-to-ground engagements, completely annihalating anything it faces and with deadly accuracy. In the air-to-air role, it relies mainly on its superior maneuverability and its vast weapons capability, being able to carry up to 14 assorted Air-to-air munitions while still having two extra fuel tanks. Meaning it can outmaneuver most of the competition and outgun them as well.

Vectored thrust
The DP-02A utilizes vectored thrust which means it has plates that can direct the engines exhaust in a two dimensional plane (up and down), allowing for greater maneuvering capability and better ascent/descent speed.

SB-AAGTTAD-S1
- This system is a dedicated air-to-ground targetting and tracking system. It can effectively track an unlimited amount of targets in its 80 mile range. Each target is then profiled and those with a higher threat level are relayed to commander. This system allows for the deployment and firing of air-to-ground missiles with unrivaled accuracy. It can either utilize radar tracking, infrared/heat-seeking tracking, or laser/GPS guided to fire its complement of missiles. It can also allow unparalled accuracy with its twin GsK-21 cannons. A feature of this system, when engaged, would use GPS data/computer provided data provided by a ground-based commander (that would be downloaded into the system) to engage targets automatically, meaning that the pilot would just have to fly to the target and at a certain point, with the activation by the pilot, the missile would release and engage the target (either by relying on GPS coordinates or using GPS data to find general location of target then using a ground-based laser targetter to hit the target).

ALMRS/TTAC-17 Mk. IIIAG (new model) system and AEISCN-03 systems
:ALMRS/TTAC-17Mk. IIIAG -Tracks up to 310 enemies and ranks them according to range, heading, threat level, and unit-type to provide best possible firing solution. Tracks their range and heading at ranges up to 245 km. Can fire on up to 4 enemy units simultaneously. This system utilizes a millimetric wave radar, IIR, thermal, GPS, laser, and normal/doppler radar. The fire control radar incorporates an integrated radar frequency interferometer for passive location and identification of radar emitting threats. An advantage of millimetre wave is that it performs under poor visibility conditions and is less sensitive to ground clutter. The short wavelength allows a very narrow beamwidth which is resistant to countermeasures. This system can fire on both air and ground units.
: AEISCN-03 -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 units 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 minute (or shorter/longer; can be adjusted) with GPS and military satellites to update terrain and enemy movements. Also tracks and labels targets and sends their coordinates and readings through satellites and ground antennae to control centers, ground forces, air forces, and naval forces.

Armability
The DP-02A can be armed with a vast amount of arms and comes standard with twin GsK-21 20mm cannons, eaching having 120 rounds (more can be added). On each wing are four hardpoints (three under the wing, and one on the wing-tip) and there are three hardpoints on the aircraft's fuselage (all on the underside). It can carry both air and ground munitions allowing it to defend itself en route to attack a ground target or have specialized DP-02s outfitted for only air combat to defend ground-attack DP-02As. It can carry up to 19000lbs of disposables stores.

One of the most important features of the DP-02A is the rear cockpit, reserved for a weapon systems officer (WSO). On four television-like screens, the WSO can display information from the radar, electronic warfare or infrared sensors, monitor aircraft or weapon status and possible threats, select targets, and use an electronic "moving map" to navigate. Two hand controls are used to select new displays and to refine targeting information. Displays can be moved from one screen to another, chosen from a "menu" of display options.
In addition to three similar screens in the front seat, the pilot has a tranparent glass screen (head-up display) at eye level that displays vital flight and tactical information. The pilot doesn't need to look down into the cockpit, for instance, to check weapon status. At night, the screen is even more important because it displays a video picture, generated by the forward-looking infrared sensor, that is nearly identical to a daylight view of the world.



Crew Safety
The DP-02A is outfitted with twin ejection seats, one for the pilot and one for the WSO. When in an emergency situation, both crew members can eject or one can eject. The system automatically ejects when a critical damage occurs (such as both engines are out, massive fire, no wing, etc) in case the crew can not pull the ejection handles (located by each seat and large handles behind the pilots seat for WSO and another handle located along the pilots left side). In the event that an explosion is about to occur, or if the computer detects a missile hit that cannot be avoided and will hit the crew area, it will automatically eject.
The DP-02A is also fitted with extensive armor, armor that can stop 12.7mm and slow the 20mm to where it does little damage. The 30mm round will most likely penetrate the outer skin but get lodged in the inside mass of framework and auxilary armor. The armor consists of lightweight, but strong alloys that make up the frame and an inside skin over the main components with the auxilary armor consisting of a kevlar base covered in epoxy-resin framework/honeycomb. The outerarmor is an aluminum base layer with a 3/1 inch layer of epoxy resin.

Another feature is its automatic countermeasures deployment system. The system automatically detects a missile threat and decides when to release chaff/flares for the optimal effect. Of course the countermeasures system can also be operated manually.

Other
The DP-02A is outfitted with an air refueling receptacle for the boom-style refueling. With slight modifications it can accept the drouge-style refueling nozzle.

The Empire is very interested in this fighter bomber. We would like to know how it compares with the F-14 and F/A-22.

The DP-02, in its current state, can carry more munitions than both of the aircraft. It also travels faster and farther and contains more advanced avionics than both. However, the DP-02 was not built for stealth, as was the F-22. The DP-02A overcomes this by having superior countermeasures, a small EW suite, a massive weapons payload, and more maneuverabilty than both (except maybe the F-22).

West Scotland will take five hundred for now, and is very impressed by this fighter. As always, good supplies are being exported from the nation of Soviet Bloc. If we like what we see, we will acquire production rights. We request that at least twelve be delivered ASAP for immediate use.

OOC: See if you can have Raysia make a Lightwave pic of this for you :P
