OOC: This is to make sure I never lose my technology..I have it posted in about five different forums just for safe guard. I would also like people to comment on my technology. Please remember that some is old technology, and I may upgrade at any time..although commentary will spur me to make such changes much faster.

IC:

MMA-A1 "Kondor" Low Altitude Fighter

Power Plant: Twin Macabee MAE-001-J engines, each in the 23,000 pound thrust class. On an interdiction mission, the Kondor will fly up to 40% than the F-18.

Accommodations: 2 crew members.

Ceiling: 36,000 feet

Weapon stations include:
two wingtip stations for Sidewinders; t
wo outboard wing stations for air-to-air or air-to-ground weapons;
two inboard wing stations for fuel tanks, air-to-air, or air-to-ground weapons;
two nacelle fuselage stations for AMRAAMs, Sparrows, or sensor pods;
and one centerline station for fuel or air-to-ground weapons.

A Vulcan machine gun.

It generally carries twenty or so A-11 Archer Air to Air Attack Missiles.


Cost: 41 million

The Kondor was designed to provide low altitude air superiority missions in order to protect the skies underneath the belly of the normal fighter and AWACs screen. With the Macabee modified TENEX SKY-6 RADAR, which is able to scan with RADAR waves below the mininum height, the Kondor makes a powerful weapon in order to protect Macabee and allied skies, as well as on foreign battlefields.

The Macabee military currently fields three thousand MMA-A1 Kondors, mostly built before the advent of the MMA-A2. However, they still make good use in the Air Force and will not be decomitioned until further notice. The Kondor is for sale, for 16 million a piece. Production rights sell for ten billion, and an order of one hundred Kondors.

RADAR:
The Hawk uses a miniature, but upgraded, TENEX Spy-6 RADAR system, which burns through all known stealth equipment at 76 kilometers. The land based Spy- has a range of 670kms. "It utilises the steerable radar beam first developed for the SPY-5 system, meaning that aircraft or missiles linked to this system can have their own internal radars off and still have an electronic contact better than if they were standalone." (Iraq)

Max Ceiling:

Some 70,000 feet.

Life Support Systems.

The Hawk life support system integrates all critical components of clothing, protective gear, and aircraft equipment necessary to sustain the pilot's life while flying the aircraft. In the past, these components had been designed and produced separately. The life support system components include:

An on-board oxygen generation system that supplies breathable air to the pilot.
An integrated breathing regulator/anti-g valve (BRAG) that controls flow and pressure to the mask and pressure garments.
A chemical/biological/cold-water immersion protection ensemble.
An upper body counterpressure garment and a lower body anti-G garment acts a partial pressure suit at high altitudes.
An air-cooling garment thermal relief for the pilot.
Helmet and helmet-mounted systems including C/B goggles and C/B hood; and the a breathing mask and hose system
The Hawk uses liquid cooling, rather than air cooling for the mission avionics. Su-48 is breaking ground in liquid cooling and the environment in which it works. Resistance to high temperature and durability were the driving factors in the liquid cooling design.

There are six fuel tanks on the Hawk, including one in the forward fuselage behind the pilot's ejection seat. The others are located in the fuselage and the wings.

The Hawk Communications/Navigation/Identification (CNI) 'system' is a collection of communication, navigation, and identification functions, once again employing the CIP for signal and data processing resources. Each CNI function has its associated aperture installed throughout the aircraft.
Included in the Communications/Navigation/Identification (CNI) system is an Inter/Intra-Flight Data Link (IFDL) that allows all Hawk in a flight to share target and system data automatically and without radio calls. The Inter/Intra Flight Data Link is one of the powerful tools that make all Hawk more capable. One of the original objectives for the Su-48 was to increase the percentage of fighter pilots who make 'kills'. With the IFDL, each pilot is free to operate more autonomously because, for example, the leader can tell at a glance what his wing man's fuel state is, his weapons remaining, and even the enemy aircraft he has targeted. Targets can be automatically prioritized and set up in a shoot list with one button push. A 'shoot' cue in the head up display alerts the pilot to the selected weapon kill parameters and he fires the weapons. Both a pilot's and wing man's missile flight can be monitored on the cockpit displays. Classical tactics based on visual 'tally' (visual identification) and violent formation maneuvers that reduce the wing man to 'hanging on' may have to be rethought in light of such capabilities. This link also allows additional Su-48 flights to be added to the net for multi-flight coordinated attack.
The Electronic Warfare 'system' is also a collection of apertures, electronics, and processors (again using the CIP) that detect and locate signals from other aircraft and controls the Hawk expendable countermeasures (chaff and flares). The EW aperture locations provide all-aspect coverage, and the system includes a missile launch detection capability.
The Hawks electronic warfare system includes a radar warning receiver and a missile launch detector.
The Stores Management System (SMS) controls weapons launch sequences, including door control (for the internal weapons carriage) and emergency weapons jettison.
The power supply modules designed for the Hawk avionics are cooled with polyalphaolefin (PAO) liquid coolant to carry away heat generated by the supplies' power-conversion process. The reduced temperature allows the component's power output to increase from 250 watts to 400 watts. Each module measure 6.41 inches by 5.99 inches by 0.58 inches and weighs 1.8 pounds.
The avionics racks, located in the forward fuselage, contain the processing, not only for the mission avionics, but also for the Vehicle Management System (VMS) and Integrated Vehicle System Controller (IVSC). The flight worthy racks, including the liquid-flowthrough racks required for the CIP.
Two Litton LN-100F ring laser gyroscopes in the forward fuselage provide the aircraft a self-contained method of knowing where it is. These inertial measurement units, placed nose to nose behind the radar on the aircraft's centerline, are operated off separate data buses to provide independent measurement data. In normal flight, IRS data is fused with Global Positioning System (GPS) data to provide an extremely reliable navigational capability. The IMUs are the only completely reliable source of data for the aircraft at attitudes above 30 degrees angle of attack (AOA). One of the IRS units feeds data directly into the CIP for gun control steering.
The Flying Test Bed (FTB) represents an interim test environment between the controlled, but static environment of the ground labs, and the dynamic flight testing of the Hawk. Sensor systems installed in the aircraft, CIPs, as well as operator consoles and instrumentation will be used to test avionics capabilities prior to release to the Hawk.

Building Cost: 350 million (very expensive factory equipment)

MAAM Cruise Missiles Ausf. B

The MAAM Cruise Missile is a small cruise missile, about half the size of the Tomahawk Cruise Missile. It was known for its cheap production and maintenance costs and it's rapid velocity. However, it has gone through drastic developements.

It's warhead has been replaced by 800kg OctaNitroCubane warhead - the strongest explosive known to man yet. Thus packing a hit force 25% more that of the Tomahawk missile - and still remaining cheaper. Furthermore, engineers have included scramjet technology, meaning that the missile is fired like a rocket a first and then using scramjet reaches at speeds topping mach 6.

The Ausf. B is suppose to replace all Macabee cruise missile in four years time, and is to show drastic changes on the battlefield. The MAAM Ausf. B is offered for sale with a small 200kg OctaNitroCubane warhead for 11 Million USD a piece and have locks to avoid technology pirating from other nations (OOC: meaning it's impossible for you to replicate the technology on your own)... production rights are not available at this time.[/i]

Type II Toledo SSN

The Macabees needs a submarine which could survive full circumnavigations of the world while carrying extreme armaments and at the same time be quiet... thus we have begun developement on the nuclear submarine Type II S-boat.

Engines: 1 Nuclear powerplants
Max. Speed:
Nuclear - Surfaced (23 Knots) Submerged (28 knots)

To absorb enemy active SONAR anachoic tiles and gaucho are being added to the surface of the Type II submarines. Certain silencers have been placed on the nuclear reactors to decrease the noise made. Also, the screw in the rear has been upgraded a certain machine which creates bubles dispersing ship noise, making it less likely that an enemy passive SONAR can locate the submarine.


Armaments
30 Principe IIIs
2 SA-5s
4 Bow torpedo tubes and 3 stern torpedo tubes (Mk 48s) (20 Mk 48s stored)
SONAR and RADAR

It includes a SONAR, than surfaced can pick up ships at up to 110 nautical miles. RADAR may pick up aircraft at up to 600km range.


Cost: 900 million




Runstedt class Anti-Submarine Raider

As the high seas around Spain begin to infest with enemy submarines bent on the destruction of Spanish property the Naval High Command, Commando Supremo Naval, has decided on the research and construction of a anti-submarine class ship. It will run on two nuclear powerplants, however, it will carry no external main guns.

Engines and Propulsion

Running on two nuclear generators and four screws it will be able to cruise the high speeds at 55 knots fully armed. Most of this comes with the decrease in armor and external armaments, such as large guns. Thus meaning, submarines will become easy prey for such ships - at least single submarines. Also, since poorly armored, and fairly small, these ships are prone to retaliatory destruction, however their price will make them prime "throw away" pieces.

Armaments

Each Runstedt carried 100 missile fired depth charges. They are class MMDC-CII (Macabee Missile Depth Charges - Class II). Revolutionized, they fired at ranges up to 550 km and at "explosion" point blow into a series of 10 smaller depth charges, which saturate the hit area, making it much more probably that a submarine would be hit.

Each also carried 30 MMAA-CI (Macabee Missile Anti Aircraft - Class I) missiles, which a range of 40km.

RADAR and SONAR

SONAR can detect submarines at up to 600km range, using the same type of machinery that the new Type II s-boat uses. RADAR has a range of 550km, in a smaller version of the Rommel class Battleship RADAR.

Cost: 400 million

Chevalier Self Propelled Artillery

The Genesis uses a dynamic new engine system in use by the Merkava 4 of Israel which saves a load of petroleum - giving it twice the distance on one tank, and cutting logistics costs by billions. Military experts figured that a beast over 100 tons going over 40 mph was a waste of resources and a big mistake. Most tactical battles were fought at a much smaller rate - and even it they went faster they were still concluded with the same result. Hence, the engine has been compacted to 1200 hp diesel engine, with a maximum speed of 30 mph. This is not as bad as it sounds - it is truly impractical to go over 25 on most of the earth's surfaces and it cuts down on refueling. In Destert Storm US Army VII Corps under General Franks had to wait to refuel their Abrams (with a normal engine), which consequently allowed the Republican Guard to escape and reform. Another advantage of this engine is that it produces far less heat, thus being less vulnerable to infra-red mortar rounds and heat-seeking top-attack ATGMs. Additionally, the curret gast turbine engine produces so much heat that infantrymen cannot follow behind for protection. This engine burns at 1.2 gallons a mile.

For ammunition it uses a scramjet 155mm artillery round, launching it at 50km range. The scramjet basically means the combustion takes place at supersonic air velocities through the engine. The expansion of hot gases after fuel injection and combustion accelerates the exhaus air to a velocity highter than at the inlet and creates positive push. This rocket propelled round hits its target at up to 6.5 mach. Furthermore, it's loaded with Octanitrocubane, the most powerful explosive known to man - although not currently used in the military (Octogen is used at present) - allowing for a much greater punch. This 155mm round (loaded with Octanitrocubane - c8n8016) is referred to in Spanish military jargon as the MARA - while the second type of round, which is designed to be more of a HEAT type round, still powered by scramjet is referred to as the MARB. The Chevalier holds 40 MARAs and 10 MARBs.

In the area of armor it has up to 900mm of NERA armor. Although light, this is not a front line vehicle, thus the having heavier armor would be both impracticle and a waste of resources - as the heavier it gets, the slower it drives. Linked with the engine this allows the Chevalier 750km of driving distance on one tank.

For self protection it also has one co-axial MG90, in use by the commander.

Panzerwerfer Ausf. B

The highly effective Panzerwerfer MLRS is designed to suppress missile, artillery and mortar batteries, destroy strong points and eliminate enemy strongholds, as well as to defeat enemy's manpower, armoured and unarmoured materiel and other targets at the operational level. The system is highly mobile and transportable even off-roads. It can be used in different climatic conditions at an ambient temperature ranging from +50oC to -50oC.

The Panzerwerfer Combat Vehicle comprises a 30-tube launcher system mounted on an automobile chassis (8 x 8) of high cross-country ability with a powerful diesel engine. The single SMERCH unit is capable of firing a complete 20-round salvo within 20 seconds engaging an area of 672000 sq.m. High accuracy of fire with salvo dispersion is provided by in-flight rotation technique of a rocket projectile specially designed for this MLRS. Fire can be controlled from the special cabin of the combat vehicle or remotely.

The rocket used is the 300 mm calibre 9M55K (Russian), fitted with a self-contained powered-flight phase control system enhancing fire precision by a factor of two and accuracy by a factor of three as compared to unguided rockets. Minimum range is 20,000 m and maximum range 70,000 m.

The rocket can be fitted with the following types of warheads:

9M55K cluster projectile with fragmentation sub-munitions (72 x 1.81 kg). Intended to engage manpower, soft material;

9M55F with a separable HE warhead containing 95 kg of explosive for use against lightly armoured vehicles, fortifications and personnel;

9M55K1 with five top-attack anti-armour sub-munitions that weigh 15 kg each and are fitted with a two-band infra-red seeker. The munition measures 284x255x186 mm, the seeker's field of view is 30 deg. designed to defeat armour.

9M55S 300 mm rocket projectile with a thermobaric warhead is designed to defeat unsheltered manpower, as well as personel in light field fortifications and in soft-skinned/lightly armored vehichles. The warhead weght is 243 kg, the weight of explosive is 100 kg, the diameter of the thermobaric field with the temperature more than 1000 °C is 25 m.

9M55K4 300 mm rocket projectile is designed for remote laying of anti-tank minefields. The number of mines is 25. The mine weighs 4.85kg, the weight of explosive is 1.85 kg. Time of mine self-destruction is 16 ... 24 hours.

Hummm... you know that Tenex Industries is one i invented, and the SPY-5, SPY-6 and SPY-7 Radar systems from them are propriatary? How are you getting hold of them if i never gave you any blueprints or anything? (Or did an RP where you stole it?)

just curious...
