ADLP-8 Celtic (AirDefence Laser Platform)

Builder: Hyland-Nikolaas Industries.
Length: 8m
Width: 4m
Height: 3m
Weight: 29t
Engine: Johannes/Cummings QMK-IV
Range: Unlimited, 4 week endurance on road.
Speed: 40mph
Armament: 1 "Skysweeper" MIL-5 (Laser), 8 11M934M-A Skyhigh Surface to Air missiles, 2 Side-Sponson based 23mm guns.
Armour:800mm RHA against KE, 1600mm against HEAT. All if NxRA is added.

11M934M-A Skyhigh Surface to Air missile: This is a 3.6m long SAM missile, with a range of 150km. The Missiles make use of AAW, Trust Vectoring, and forward engine nozzles at the tip of the missile. The Skyhigh is capable of +80G turns, thanks to the AAW wings allowing the missile to remain structurally stable. Guidance is an independant RADAR/LIDAR/LADAR seeker head, which can fall back onto an IR/Thermal and Optical. The Skyhigh also has a data-uplink to the parent vehicle, allowing for a crossreference in information. This effectively creates a Bi-static Radar, allowing for the easy detection of stealth aircraft out to 200km. The RADAR itself is capable of passive detection during flight, and homing during terminal. Should CHAFFs be launched, the missile will switch between LIDAR/LADAR, and IR. Should FLARES be deployed, the missile will finally resort to Optical to finish the job. The missile makes use of a 50kg warhead, also containing 128 2" ballbearings. Upon Proximty detonation, the missile will explode when within 15ft of the plane. The ballbearings will be traveling at mach 4 at the least, and do considerable damage to the aircraft, including incapacitation of the Pilot. Accuracy is 0.99 against Aircraft, 0.984 against missiles, and 0.999 against helicopters. The top speed of the Skyhigh is Mach 3.6, and top altitude is 67,600ft. Minimum Engagement Altitude is 10.6ft.

"Skysweeper" MIL-5 This is a chemical based laser, similar to the THEL system developed by Israel. The lasers power is 700KW's, meaning it can virtually destroy any missile or aircraft it lays its sights on. The MIL-5 has a range of 120 to 160km in good weather conditions.

The Celtic runs on a QMK-IV QNFR drive. This allows the vehicle extended periods of deployment, and the high-powered radar and systems can run off the QNFR drive. Because of this, you get detection at a range of 250km, and stealth detection at 200km.

The Celtic uses a form of NSI to defeat active stealth.

If you want to know anything else about it, just ask. Comments and what not, feel free.

Price: $3 Million Per Unit (These SAM's are very very good.

Why bother with a heavy THEL trailer? With the Celtic, you've got a QNFR powered laser in your vehicle. The Celtic is already phasing out old KAA-88 vehicles.

I don't understand why someone would by a patriot, which has to be stationary, has about the same range if not less, and has an accuracy rate of around 0.70 instead of the most advanced SAM system in the world... and its also mobile.

Safehaven like production rights to the Celtic.

uh....good idea! Me too please, seeing as my current laser defenses cost me $20 million each and are not mobile at all the Celtic is a great defensive weapon.
