The Evil Empire of Akaton is looking to upgrade its infantry forces with advanced technology. Though our country is focused on military technology, the state of our one million conscripted infantry is miserable. They fight with weapons 20 to 30 years in age. This country is transitioning from an outdated technology base to a 2050 era technology base. We need the following weapon systems:

1) Reliable light power armor, preferably providing full protection from standard small arms fire.

2) A modern assault weapon potentially integrated into the power armor mentioned above. While an energy weapon or rail gun is desirable, a very effective convetional weapon would do as well.

3) A portable shoulder fired missile launcher capable of firing both Akaton made 75mm thermobaric missiles and typical anti-tank missiles.

4) A long range comm. array capable of coordinating joint air and ground attacks.

We are a nation with a strong economy but limited resouces. Therefore, we can only pay in cash.
