The IULLDES - Intergrated Ultra-Low-Level DEfence System - is designed to destroy incoming sea-skimming missiles. It uses the following components:

SA-N-20 SAM system

*Variant of SBI-16 Phased-Array radar system, for long-range targeting of sea-skimming missiles, with inbuilt ECCM capability and frequency-agility, designed to counter jamming-equipped missiles; radar guidance backed up by Imaging Infra-Red Guidance and short-range (30Km) LADAR units mounted on ship's deck or superstructure in armoured casings, also millimetric-wave X-band radar; when inbound missile is detected, all guidance systems are activated, so that even if missile approaching behind jamming and/or from sun missiles are still guidable;

*SA-N-20 SAM, short-to-mid-range sea-skimming-capable missile with inbuilt active radar guidance; around central radar is a ring of small, short-range laser emitters, allowing guidance even in heavy jamming environment; lasers have narrow beam and high power allowing acquisition of targets even in bad weather; missile also carries tertiary backup IR guidance module alongside radar unit; missile can be guided by internal systems or by encrypted digital command relay from targeting ship/s; missile computer will follow information from both ship guidance modules and self-contained guidance modules, depending on which is decided as being more likely to be the inbound missile.

*Falanga CIWS-II, short-range superheated tungsten-carbide/DU flechette launcher. Launches flechettes in approximately circular pattern, with "cone" at core, along predicted track of missile; much larger kill radius than conventional CIWS (approximately 3m when conducted against samples of Yakhont-3 AShM); triple-unit flechette launchers also allow high rate of fire (approx. 200 flechette bursts/minute) to be attained. Launchers guided by radar/ladar unit mounted above each launcher and/or main shipboard radar/ladar units. Flechettes have extremely high velocity and very high rate of fire, capable of kills to ranges of 150-170m. Secondary launcher launches flechettes in a tight rectangle pattern. Flechettes are superheated by high-power electric filaments within the launcher units, and kept heated (though not at so high a temperature) by similar units within their magazines belowdecks; magazines have 30mm composite armour and fire-suppression systems. Flechette filaments in launchers must be replaced after 40 hours' use; improved filaments under development.

Costs: Approx. 1.5 million for 1 installation of 2 SA-N-20 launchers, 2 guidance units and 4 Falanga CIWS.

This is for sale, incidentally, just to make that clear.

Bump.

I'll take 100 of them, money wired upon confirmation.

Given the strained relations at present between our nations and the less-than-reliable history of CM's politicians as regards not going out on random imperialist conquests, we will have to consider carefully your request.

Good decision.

Now then. If you were to make a specialized AEGIS system with these components I would gladly purchase many of them.

A specialised Anti-aircraft ship y'say? Well all our Sovremennyy's are being fitted with this, so that might fit the bill.

CM does not randomly go out and take land. CM is calm, collected, and calculating. CM picks each target out like a wolf picking the weakest sheep. Besides, CM is pretty sure that CM's imperialism is over. CM thinks CM has enough land.


Occ- CM's thing for the day is to refer to CM's self in 3rd person.

OOC: CM referring to himself int he third person is! Talk like Yoda we must! Master Yoda know how CM defeated may be! :D

IC: Even if your conquests are not random, we still cannot supply weapons to a state which has such Nazi-esque policies, nor can we believe any assuraces given by said nation as regards non-imperliastic future actions.

CM's Foreign Minister Paul Stahlecker would like to start signing non-aggression pacts with key nations. Would you like to sign one?

CM most pleased would be.

Non-aggression is not the same as having tolerable policies. Your policies are not tolerable by our nation the majority of our people, and therefore we can not and will not be selling you these systems, or any other arms for that matter. Good day.

OOC: Very angry DPUO is! :p

Meh.

OOC: And the need for that was...?

OOC: And the need for that was...?


No need must he have.

Updated: Superheating replaced by much less complex API tip for rounds, requiring no filaments and lowering risk of accidental discharges.

What would the cost of purchasing the production rights for these units be? Production rights don't include resale, just the local manufacture, of these systems.

Local manufacture? Well, for 6 billion we would give you total production rights and any new upgrades that become available. Six billion would be enough to equip about 2,000 ships, minimum. Of course this price is negotiable if you think it too high.

Updated: IULLDES Mark III now carrier combination gun/flechette mount ASL-100, derived from Kashtan system, consisting of 2 Falanga-B launchers and 2 GSh-30K 6-barrel 30mm gatling guns, rate of fire 10,000-12,000 RPM, engagement range 0.5-1.5km; IULLDES guidance module integrated with Kashtan radar systems, capable of datalinked search/track operations with all other ships in group, to range of approx. 600Km; mountings have high rotation rate of 80 degrees/sec.
