LAV III Reconnaissance variant

The only vehicle offered with a recon package because of the inherent quiet nature of wheeled vehicles. Sneaking up on an enemy to take their picture in a tracked vehicle simply isn't possible. Tracked vehicles are too noisy for reconnaissance. Superficially identical to the LAV IFV variant with the 25mm Delco turret, this vehicle also carries deployable battlefield surveillance RADAR, seismic sensors, and 5x visual / thermal imaging cameras. When stopped the vehicle can also deploy a 10-meter mast with the same surveillance package while under cover of terrain or vegetation. Sensor suite on flat level terrain (i.e. desert) detects vehicular movement at 20 km, vehicle identification at 12 km, detects man-sized targets at 10 km. RADAR also calculates fall of shot for artillery / mortar fire correction doubling as an forward artillery observer. Preinstalled encrypted Link 16 battlespace uplinks and also satellite uplink capable, this vehicle gives your ground commanders eyes and ears on the frontlines of any battlefield. Crew of 4.

Recon LAV III $4.5 million

Command Variant - ATAC System (Advanced Tactical Assessment and Command System)

This variant is distinguished by the raised roof and boxy structure in the aft compartment to house computer equipment. Full radio / communications suite for full battlespace awareness by ATAC system. Accepts satellite, Link 16, MEADS, Skyshield data seamlessly for a full battlespace picture. ATAC command and communication codes, data encryption keys and algorithms, friendly position information is locked out if less than two authorizing command officers are not present in the vehicle. Insensitive munitions are built in for system destruction if capture is imminent. A cascade failure corrupts all data while destruct overvoltage and thermite destroys critical hardware. This vehicle is NBC and fully EMP shielded. Crew of 2 + up to 4 commanders.

Command M113A3 $4 million
Command LAV III $4.5 million
Command Bionix $4.5 million
Command Bradley $6 million

Comprehensive Territorial Air Defense Solution

(MEADS) Medium Extend Air Defense System using
Patriot Missile System PAC-3-A interceptors
(Offered by Lyranis Combined Military Industries in co-production with Hudecia Industries)

This upgraded missile relies on a kinetic energy kill system to intercept and destroy tactical ballistic missiles and aircraft. It provides umbrella air defense coverage for advancing forces and long-range detection and interception capability for fixed defense. This design was upgraded by LCMI to burst a direct conical cloud of 150 hardened tungsten alloy balls, HE warhead, along with the kinetic penetrator from a standoff distance of 20m from the target for enhanced lethality over the original PAC-3 design.

MEADS allows dynamic reallocation of launchers and radars to adjoining units through frequency agile encrypted radio or wired communications. Both Radars and launchers can be moved and located independently of each other over a wide area preventing the wholesale destruction of an entire battery at one location. Launchers can be dynamically slaved to adjacent Radars allowing for 'bounding overwatch' to dynamically reposition air defense assets without gaps in coverage. MEADS Radars seamlessly networks information to the Skyshield-35 data network and features ECM / jamming resistance and AHEAD technology to counterspoof and destroy all fielded and foreseeable anti-radiation missiles.

Missile Range = 100 km
Missile Max altitude = 80000 feet (24 km)
Link 16 / Skyguard / Skyshield network uplink
Search RADAR max range 200 km
Targeting RADAR max range 130 km
AHEAD antimissile capable
ECM / jam resistant
Component vehicles C-130 air transportable

Included:
6 truck mounted launchers with 8 ready missiles rounds per launcher
1 truck mounted command shelter
2 truck mounted RADAR sets

Reload ($2 million / missile)

$200 million USD / battery

This dual mode munition is also capable of engaging cruise missiles, battlefield guided missiles including anti-radiation missiles up to a range of 2 km. Now featuring AHEAD technology to counterspoof and destroy all currently deployed and foreseeable anti-radiation missiles. Includes one stand-alone or truck mounted palletized command shelter, one towed RADAR / optronic search and targeting unit, and four 35mm Skyshield 35 / 1000 revolver cannons.

1000 rounds per minute
Cannon Max range 8km
Link 16 / Skyguard / Skyshield network uplink
Search RADAR max range 20 km

ADATS Low Level Air Defense System
(Offered by Lyranis Combined Military Industries in co-production with Hudecia Industries)

Slewable multiple tube launcher with 8 ready rounds capable of intercepting low to medium altitude aircraft and main battle tanks up to a range of 10 km. Launch to target intercept at maximum range is under 5 seconds. Can be networked to legacy Skyguard units, Skyshield-35 units, compatible with most microwave based IFF systems and can be upgraded to share data over a Link 16 network. This versatile launcher can be integrated with little modification to M113, M2 Bradley and most other AFV chassis to provide mobile air defense for armoured columns or on a stand-alone shelter based unit for static anti-air and anti-tank defense.

10 km range Antitank / Antiaircraft missile (Reload $200000 / missile)
Link 16 / Skyguard / Skyshield network uplink
RADAR max range 20 km
AHEAD antimissile capable
ECM / jam resistant

This price includes the ADATS trainable launcher with search radar, FLIR / Laser guidance unit and auxiliary power unit.

Only $6 million USD for palletized shelter version (*)

ADATS M113A3 $6.5 million (* deployable in 10 minutes after unloading)
ADATS Bionix $7 million (* deployable in 15 minutes after unloading)
ADATS Bradley $8.5 million (exceeds height clearance for C-130)

ADATS missile launcher plus search and targeting Radars can be mounted on a main battle tank chassis in place of the main armament and turret. $6 million plus the listed cost of the main battle tank and not air-transportable by C-130.

The ADATS LAV III variant was tested and found too top heavy for reliable military deployment. (Significantly prone to rollover)

Sony111 your order is confirmed

What's up with all the storefronts selling RL guns? There must be atleast 100 of them....I can buy an M1A2 from you and 20 other guys. Please, in the spirit of originality, invent your own tanks.

*shrugs*

I run my own naval storefront with my own modified vessels, but RL stuff seems to sell better. More reliable I guess.
