C-380 Multi-Mission Heavy Transport
Welcome to the next generation of multi-mission aircraft...
The C-380 MMHT aircraft was derived from plans for a civilian aircraft. This civilian aircraft was a massive twin fuselage with three wings (one in front, one in the middle, and one in the rear). Combined with six massive turbojets it could carry nearly 1200 passengers in a massive detachable 'pod' beneath the two fuselages. Well, the design was never implemented and the plans sat for a number of years until the military realized the potential of the aircraft. It can carry upwards of 1100 fully equipped soldiers or 980,000 pounds of cargo (490 tons). The design (detachable 'pod') features of this aircraft also make it a prime multi mission vehicle, making it capable of carrying a variety of 'pods' including the following: NCS/X-65 General Purposed pod (can be configured for cargo, personnel, or both); PCR/A-12 Theater Electronic Warfare (advanced systems for radar disruption, etc.); PCR/R-18 Airborne Radar and Early Warning (personnel, radar, computers, etc.); FCS/W-24 Cruise Missile Dispenser system (carries weapon systems, weapons, crew, radar/infrared systems); FCS/W-31 Munitions Dispensing System (carriers systems, weapons (bombs, missiles, bomblets, strategic weapons, etc.), crew, infrared/radar systems, etc.); NCT/T-76 Armored Force pod (specially designed to carry tanks and other vehicles as well as their crew); and the PCR/F-09 Tanker pod (Fuel with pump systems to man up to four booms).
General Purpose Pod (Cago, personnel, or both)- Comes free with order of aircraft; additional units cost $12 million USD.
The NCS/X-65 General Purpose pod is an expansive pod built with cargo and personnel carrying in mind. She maintains hundreds of locks for the attachment of seats as well as cargo tie-down systems. Overall, she can carry some 1100 personnel and their equipment or 490 tons of cargo or vehicles.
PCR/A-12 Theater Electronic Warfare pod- $39 million USD
The theater electronic warfare pod was designed to disrupt radar, infrared, radio, and GPS/GLONASS signals across the battlefield using selective jammers, directional arrays, and a few other tools...
SB-AIRCST-15S which is the ARSB-developed Infrared Search and Track system. This system scans the entire area and at ranges up to 120 km for any heat signature. When a signature is found, the system tracks the target and provides the weapons computer a firing solution, then a missile can be fired and that missile's own guidance system can take over and steer the missile to its target or it can receive updates from the aircraft's computer.
SB-AMRQ/R72 This system is the aircraft's advanced medium range radar
SB-MMRQ/R90 This system is the aircraft's millimetric radar
AN/ALQ-225 SU-C- The AN/ALQ-225 SU-C is designed for all Special Electronics Mission Aircraft (SEMA) and Special Operations Aircraft (SOA). . This CMS is programmed to respond to the pulse radar signals of the most critical threat weapon system anticipated to be encountered by SEMA and SOA in a hostile environment. It can operate against multiple threat weapons systems simultaneously. It has programmable modules, covers a broader frequency range than most other systems and has built-in preplanned product improvement capabilities. The AN/ALQ-225 SU-C consists of three types of line replaceable units (LRUs). These LRUs include one receiver/transmitter (RT) assembly, one control indicator assembly and four antennas. The RT assembly utilizes state-of-the-art gate array and gallium arsenide lightweight circuit boards.
AVC/QL-678 GPS and GLONASS Jammer - The AVC/QL-678 has an output power of four watts and can effectively deny use of GPS in an area ranging as far as 300 kilometres. This is combined with the OS/C-45 directional antenna system that it can directionally jam while maintaining safe areas for friendly forces to access GPS or GLONASS. The coefficient of antenna amplification is five using the OS/C-45 DAS.
AN/ALQ-290D(SB)-A- This is an active, continuously operating, omni-directional and electrically fired infrared (IR) jammer. This system is composed of a series of output stations that can provide jamming of all known IR threat missile systems.
AFFC/SIRR-12 - This system uses a small radar dome underneath the aircraft to locate the incoming radar pulses of a radar-guided missile, it then fires its own radar pulses at a set frequency and size (determined from the missile's radar pulses). This confuses the enemy radar and usually causes it to believe that the target has disappeared (due to limitations in radar technology) and therefore the missile either detonates or continues on, not tracking the aircraft... The secondary portion of this countermeasures suite is its medium range (40km for this jamming) computer jamming system which can jam radars at their computer core and infrared systems. This usually proves very effective.
PCR/R-18 Airborne Radar and Early Warning (also command and control) - $31 million USD
The role of this aircraft is to provide ground, air, and naval forces with continuous radar and tracking data as well as warning of any impending attack. Systems are as follows:
SB-AIRCST-15S which is the ARSB-developed Infrared Search and Track system. This system scans the entire area and at ranges up to 120 km for any heat signature. When a signature is found, the system tracks the target and provides the weapons computer a firing solution, then a missile can be fired and that missile's own guidance system can take over and steer the missile to its target or it can receive updates from the aircraft's computer.
SB-AMRQ/R72 This system is the aircraft's advanced medium range radar
SB-AMRQ/R10 This system is the aircraft's pulse dopplar radar
SB-MMRQ/R90 This system is the aircraft's millimetric radar
GTS/SC-71: This system is a dedicated air-to-ground targetting and tracking system. It can effectively track an unlimited amount of targets in its 200 mile range. Each target is then profiled and those with a higher threat level are relayed to commander. This system is linked to a communications system as to relay target data to all aircraft, ground units, and naval units inolved.
ATS/AC-46: This system is a dedicated aerial target tracking system. It can effectively track an unlimited amount of targets in its near 300 mile range. Each target is then profiled and those with a higher threat level are relayed to commander. This system is linked to a communications system as to relay target data to all aircraft, ground units, and naval units inolved.
FCS/W-24 Cruise Missile Dispenser system- $33 million USD
This is closely related to the general purpose pod in construction, however, it houses one hundred and twenty cruise missiles in rotating drums and magazines. It maintains communications equipment to relay target information.
FCS/W-31 Munitions Dispensing and UAV/UCAV launching System- $35 million USD
Once again, this is related to the general purpose pod however its purpose is far different. It carries equipment and storage to carry a variety of munitions. In all, it can house up to 420 tons of munitions ranging from air to ground missiles to guided bombs to unguided bombs and to strategic weapons. With some modification it can carry and luanch up to ten UAVs or UCAVs. For missile targeting it relies on systems related to the airborne radar and early warning aircraft as well as three laser systems to designate targets.
NCT/T-76 Armored Force pod- $18 million USD
This pod was specially designed to carry armored units and their crew. Its heavily reinforced body is able to carry up to 8 tanks of size comparable to an M1A2 Abrams. It can carry some 18 light tanks (20-30 tons). It can also house crew and supplies.
PCR/F-09 Tanker pod- $24 million USD
This pod is a massive fuel reserve tank with pump and boom launching systems. This means it can carry some 700,000 pounds of fuel (not including wing tanks which increase it to about 900,000). Systems inside as well as crew allow it to refuel up to four aircraft at a time with boom-type refueling. It also maintains positions for up to an additional 4 drogue (hose)-type systems.
Engines
The ARSB experimented with numerous engines before finding the perfect engine for this aircraft... The engine was the TR-450-XATP bypass turbojet engine designed and manufactured by Tamarov Aircraft Corporation. The engines provide perfect, solid power for the aircraft and are extremely reliable. They were also designed for extended combat stays, so they're easy to maintain in the event anything goes wrong with them..
Its six engines each put out some 40000 kilograms per engine. That's a total of some 240,000 kgs of thrust. Its top speed is around 840 kilometres per hour.
Survivability
Survivability functions include advanced electronic countermeasures.
Listed below are the countermeasure systems:
The C-380 maintains a single electronic countermeasures system (the AFFC/SIRR-12) which uses a small radar dome underneath the aircraft to locate the incoming radar pulses of a radar-guided missile, it then fires its own radar pulses at a set frequency and size (determined from the missile's radar pulses). This confuses the enemy radar and usually causes it to believe that it has reached its target, it then explodes... The secondary portion of this countermeasures suite is its medium range (40km for this jamming) computer jamming system which can jam radars at their computer core and infrared systems. This usually proves very effective.
Flares- infrared countermeasure (26)
Chaff pods- radar countermeasure (22)
Electrical Disturbance pods- creates a surge of electricity in an area and can mess up a missile's computer (4)
The C-380 also sports an armored cockpit and forward fuselage.
Systems
The C-380 base aircraft is outfitted with an advanced system suite, including the AEISCN system which connects it to the global ARSB defensive/offensive communications net, which allows anything in it to transmit and receive data from any other vehicle, person, or place. Export versions will not have this system.
The C-380 also has an advanced avionics suite from a fly-by-wire system to its satellite-uplink system.
Other systems are located in the pods that can be added on.
Other Notable Features
Air refueling mount
It maintains numerous points of modification, such as removable plates, doors, transport systems, etc. to allow for an easier and more efficient change of roles.
It is very maneuverable in the sky, as well as on the ground... In the sky, she uses numerous control surfaces to give her great maneuverability, especially for a transport of this size. Her maneuverability doesn't stop in the sky, on the ground, of her 36 different load-bearing landing gear axles, twelve of them are steerable.
