Kazakhstania
29-11-2004, 19:08
Finally, Kazakhstanian and Zoogie are proud to release F-45 'Sharkishki' Multi-Role Fighter! A Real Life year in the making, the F-45 is perhaps the most groundbreaking fighter ever to have been released. Using the latest technology, this fighter has been thoroughly designed to wipe the floor with all other fighters, and has been engineered by Kazakhstania and Zoogie's best engineers. Here it is!

F-45 'Sharkishki' Multi-Role Fighter

Systems

This aircraft has perhaps got the most advanced digital aircraft systems in the world. With the power of near an AWACS and all the latest technology, we have introduced some ideas that no other aircraft has used before. This technology helps Sharkishki to lead the way in the air, and is integrated seamlessly with the entire airframe. This part of the project has been a joint operation taken on by the nations of Kazkahstania and The Zoogie People.

The Sharkishki project specifications called for a superior avionics and systems package, so that not only would the fighter out-duke others of its calibre in dog fighting, it would easily outperform it in electronics. Sharkishki's ability to outrange, out-turn, and fight any opposition leads to the F-45's utter dominance in the Air. Its systems allow the aircraft to be a Multi-Role Package, giving you far more bang for your buck.

Sharkishki features a powerful, Zoogie-made all-aspect millimetre wave radar, with advanced signal masking and look-down-shoot-down capabilities. With simultaneous tracking of twelve targets and a maximum effective range of 180nm, Sharkishki's avionics are superb. Even stealthier aircraft designs are more easily detected using the latest radar black point technology, researched and provided from the most elite Zoogie Design Centres.

Active radar is integrated with a host of other tracking devices into the multi-function displays in the cockpit. Passive advanced infrared, laser, and satellite guidance are incorporated, as well as a powerful RWR system that alerts the pilot when enemy radar sweeps across the aircraft. This works in tandem with an advanced passive radar system, which allows anti-radar missiles to guide themselves to their targets and acts as a backup to active detection.

Aircraft controls are provided by one of the worlds most reliable Fly-By-Optics system, which uses

All aircraft mechanisms are closely monitored by security systems, which diagnose and attempt to fix problems; and failing that scream to the pilot.
These systems are the best we have to offer, and provide superior look-n'-shoot technology and long-range detection to any other aircraft. Of course, to process this data you need a very powerful targeting and tracking system. This is provided by Kazakhstania's JTIDS, Joint Tactical Information Distribution System.

http://www.stasys.co.uk/images/jtids.gif

In it's latest and by far greatest version, JTIDS-11 is linked with every other JTIDS unit on the battlefield. This unit is in Kazakhstanian and Zoogie built tanks, aircraft, ships and vehicles. When any JTIDS unit picks up an enemy unit, it is placed on the JTIDS net. This net is available via satellite for ANY battlefield unit to access, and provides up to date target network for the immediate target area of 300 miles. It can even guide missiles to their targets, provide target locks to any object and provide up to date 'threat' areas. This unit is fitted in its finest to the aircraft.

The Zoogie-made HUD on this aircraft is the best ever made, in our opinion. Providing nanosecond old information on many, many different things, this HUD is next generation and may well save the pilots life. It details many settings you can set your aircraft too, and is linked directly with the JTIDS, providing target and friendly data on demand. The head's up display is laid out like most standard HUD's, only it is linked to the helmet. Wherever the pilot's head turns, the HUD follows. On one side, the altitude meter is displayed, and on the other, the speed (in km/h). When speed is nearing structural limits, it flashes red; same with altitude (both high, and in-flight, low...i.e., if you're taxiing on the runway or landing, it won't flash red). Heading is shown on the top part of the HUD, while speed, airframe, and mode is shown on the bottom. There is a new gun-sight that is incorporated into the new gun system. The ground attack version is fitted with the JTIDS-G-19 version, which allows over 100 units on the ground to be detailed every second, allowing a huge choice of ground targets to hit, in a simple yet complex computer system.

Of course, to run all of these systems, you need one hell of a computer. And we will provide this for you. Presenting the Next Generation, Kazakhstanian KZ-119 Liquid Nitrogen Cooled, all encompassing Super Computer. Providing ALL the speed for every system on the aircraft you would never need, this super computer is very reliable, takes up low energy and provides rapid information to anything on the aircraft. Taken almost directly off our C-145AW AWACS aircraft, this computer is essential to the aircrafts role, and more than obliges.

Design

The design of the F-45 surpasses that of any other aircraft we have ever built. It has been made to measure, and constructed of the latest materials. Every switch on the entire aircraft has been tested, tested again and then checked once more in tests. It is perhaps the most precisely engineered, yet user-friendly aircraft you can find. The design is innovative and new, and mixes many techniques to produce the best aircraft possible.

The frame of the aircraft is constructed out of a robust and strong Titanium Epoxy Resin frame, which is also incredibly light. The frame is constructed as a two layer frame, filled with small, strong triangular honeycombs. This allows the aircraft to experience incredible g-forces, and even to an extent survive the dreaded tail dive. The tail and wing sections are the strongest portions of the aircraft, and are built to withstand massive lateral, vertical and longitudinal forces.

The cockpit is a spacious and very well laid out area. All major controls are accessible to the hands near the control column, and the throttle controls are either pre set by the computer or accessible in an un-cramped position to the pilots right. There are various touch sensitive MFD’s on the main cockpit display, four to be exact, each displaying a large variety of easy to navigate information. There is also a dedicated JTIDS panel, which shows all danger zones and designated priority targets. In the ground attack version, the entire cockpit sits in a 3-inch thick titanium tub, capable of stopping 40mm shells, which is what it was designed for.

The engines are Zoogietec made, Afterburning, 3D Thrust Vectoring engines. Each engine is capable of delivering 36,000-lbs of thrust, for a total of 72,000-lbs of thrust. Their ceiling is ceiling 60,000 feet, and importantly has a high top speed of maximum speed Mach 2.5. The engines are very fuel economic, and can super-cruise at around Mach 1.4. These engines are digitally controlled, with automated alert features and emergency protocols.

The various versions’ are as follows:

The F-45A is a Naval Fighter, which is carrier and land capable.
The F-45T is a Naval Trainer, with two seats in front of each other.
The F-45G is a ground attack version, which has two seats side by side.

These all have similar designs, and are all-respective of their roles. Each has been custom designed by a team of engineers, and is as good as the other.

Armament

The armament is perhaps THE most important thing about this entire project. This aircraft has a next generation armament and a world-class defensive measure, which as far as I know has not been used before. So, please read carefully and pay attention to the next crucial details, which truly give Sharkishki its teeth.

The only reason this program started was due to one detail, the so-called ‘Athena’. Those who have read Stephen Coont’s books will know, but for those who haven’t, I must explain this multi-million dollar piece of kit. To be very basic, it makes the aircraft totally stealth. Not even a glimmer of radar bounce-back, and not stealth in the F-22 way either. This stealth totally disguises the aircraft against it’s background, creating the radar picture of the sky where the aircraft is.

http://www.lightwatcher.com/chemtrails/hos_archives/Wheres_the_plane.jpg

We call this Athena, and is the first of its kind. Athena is active ECM. When the signal from the enemy radar is detected, the raw data is put through a super-conductive computer. This then uses antennas buried in the aircraft's skin to emit an out of sync wave, which cancels out the radar. The computer is given the characteristics of the plane it is guarding, and emits the proper amount of energy in all directions. It really works, and creates something so radar clear that it is far better than the F-22, even B-2. With that, the radar paint makes it truly stealth. This system can be fitted to any plane on earth, and make it at least a bit stealthier. It can be only used against one radar source, however, for example a tracking radar but not a long range search one and visa versa, and it does not work against LPI.

The paint on it also helps reduce emitted heat, keeping the heat emmition to a minimum. All built up heat is vented through a duct in the engines, far into the aircraft, much like the F-22. This combined means the IR signature is considerably less. But there is still more in this so-called “Smart Skin”. Tiny light sensors on the top and bottom sides of the aircraft detect the picture from above and transmit it to the created via tiny light emmiters on the bottom. It is the same from below. This means you would see the picture from above below, and from below above. This effectively makes the aircraft see-through, giving it a massive edge in dog fighting.

Those are the main features of Sharkishki, and we haven’t even got to the main weaponry yet. An ongoing evolutionary, and indeed groundbreaking bit of research originating from Zoogie Aerospace has been incorporated into Sharkishki. The D3CS system is an advanced combat package that controls and enhances two 25-mm six-barrel cannons on either side of the cockpit. Newly improved and updated for anti-ground roles as well, the D3CS is the first system of its kind.

The Sharkishki is fitted with one 27-mm cannon with 500 rounds loaded. In air-to-air combat, D3CS works in tandem with the avionics of Sharkishki to track and plot the course. A hit rate is calculated, if a stream of rounds were to be fired at that moment; when this number reaches a certain percentage the bullets from the most likely cannon are propelled and directed at the target, to further improve accuracy. The same thing happens in air-to-ground combat, but the avionics behind it has been altered to accommodate for land targets. This gives the fighter a massive edge in dog fighting. This technology gives a huge head start in air-to-air combat. The ground attack fighter with the GAU-8 has also been fitted with this device, although it is primarily aimed towards ground targets.

There are eleven hardpoints for weapons, and two wingtip points for AAM's. Each hardpoint can take 2,000 lbs of weight, and the centre hardpoints can take up to a small nuclear bomb. This aircraft can carry all known ammunition with the international locking points, and carry the famous Kazkahstanian AA-3 AAM. This aircraft can carry a heavy, heavy load and pack a tremendous punch. This is truly a hell of a machine.

Why have you got a picture of a 25mm bushmaster when you mention 2 25mm gatling guns? and 2 galting guns seems more than a little wasteful, after all conventional reveolver cannons fire faster in the first 0.5seconds of a burst, unless of course you are using soviet gatling guns which are a little different (but still no need for 2 of them).

Interesting, you have always made some great aircraft....im impressed, i may well be extremely interested in buying several from you if they come on sale. But that will be in several years time unfortunatly(NS time) as our nation is only small. in general: excellent!

The cockpit picture looks to me as if its a bit old...though what you wrote was great. i think i'll TAG this Thread

OOC: I have some issues with Athena. While possibly feasible, and as popular as it is, few are willing to admit that it isn't that hard to defeat, and has several fundamental limitations. Thus it's frequently the source of godmodding.
You see it time and again, most of those who have it want to make it out as some undefeatable uber-system.
Remember that Athena is vulnerable to LPI-type radars, and cannot be optimized to cover all frequency bands (ie, you may be able to spoof a tracking radar but not a long range search one, or vice versa).

Outside of that, the only problems I see are that there's no indication of max takeoff weight or payload, and that a pair of 25mm cannons is a bit much for the fighter, even if replacing a GAU-8. Twin cannons aren't efficient because they're not that much more likely to provide a hit, and they burn up ammunition so much faster. Really, the space is better used for a single gun with extra fuel and ammo.

OOC:
Bush masters wouldn't be the ideal choice, if it was me i woudl try digging up soem info on the ADEN-25, a modifed version of the ADEN Mk4 using the same 25mm ammo as the GAU-12 originally intended for the harrier Gr-7 but cancelled due to cost overruns, its the only single barreled reveolver 25mm gun i can think of off the top of my head or you coudl modify the BK27 to accept 25mm ammo...

30-11-2004, 21:06
OOC: As one of the largest and earlier users of Athena, I can reaffirm what CSJ is saying. Currently my upgraded Athena (Been fooling with the system with CAP members and others since I introduced it in late May 2003) basically has a limit of something like an APG-77, a first generation LPI system. Some EW aircraft have better systems and can deal with later generation LPI systems, but Athena can't stop radars more powerful than those of a fighter simply because it cannot emit waves as powerful as them. It cannot deal with OTH-B radar. It cannot deal with very fast frequency cycling radars.

Basically, if you're using it against missile or most fighter radars, RL mobile SAMs, some ship radars even, but with a lot of stuff on NS you're just out of luck.

Oh, and 2 guns is pointless, really. All it means is you have less ammo and you use it twice as fast.

Unless of course you intend this as a close air support fighter...

OOC:

I understood Athena when I took it out. Its designed to give a slight stealth advantage, agaisnt fighters mostly. I didnt expect it to be undefeatable. Just to give it a bit of an adge, along with the paint, you know.

Also, the two cannons system I amn't sure about it. Thats Zoogies department, I amnt one to say.
Omz222
01-12-2004, 02:00
OOC: Interesting design, and I'll agree that Athena/active radar cancellation isn't hard to defeat, especially when it's done with LPI and active radar cancellation systems (though from what I've been told simple analog electronics-based active radar cancellation systems were used by NORAD in a few occasions in the Cold War), and to defeat even older AESA radars, you'd need a lot of power, as active cancellation systems doesn't just measure the frequencies and the direction that the radio wave is coming from. Do keep in mind that different radio waves bounced off from different surfaces of the aircraft will come back to the emitting radar differently (that's also partly why the RCS you will get from a plane when you meet it head on will be different from the one you will get from the plane when you chase it from behind), and in order to counter that, you'd pretty much need full 3D coverage of the aircraft, not mentioning that for it to work well your designers should also have a pretty good idea of what the enemy radar system will be like. If you are using this system against a simple ground-based emitter of an older SAM battery, it may work well, but if you pit the system against three or four different LPI-type airborne sensors emitting from different directions, you got a serious problem on your hand.

About the computer however, keep in mind that while many of today's computer CPUs are pretty powerful, these Pentium 4s and the Athlon 64s you see on the desktop are optimized for desktop computer operations, one of the most notable ones being gaming. However, on an aircraft don't expect these to handle too well, which is why the reason I rather prefer a set of older but more efficent computer chips that are more "protected" and durable.

About the cannon however, I'd go against having one GAU-8. The GAU-8 is for ground attack, and is not really intended for air-to-air work. You'll need a good medium-calibre aircraft-mounted cannon of preferably 25mm or 27mm if you want serious air-to-air capabilities, which should do well even against ground targets.

OOC:

Athena would be used to spoof the most threatening at the time of usage, not anything more. Its a temporary countermeasure, kind of used to give a slight edge in battle, as is the active camo and funky paint.

Well, the GAU-8 would be used in the "ground attack" version, and I will slam a Mauser(?) 27mm in for air to air, a single one at that.

We are looking to expand our navy to help with new plans for rapid reaction forces. We would like to ask you how many of these aircraft, and of what type, we should purchase for use in three fleets, one Amphibious, One Home Fleet, and one general purpose Fleet, taking up possition as our main fighter type (inc Ground attack).

OOC: Well, to be quite honest, i dont know what my navy is made up of completely, so any help would be great, like how many carriers in ech fleet would be good(i like my airpower, lol).

I also have a High Budget, so dont worry about that!

07-01-2005, 17:22
As a reccomendation, I suggest One Amphibious Assault Carrier (Wasp Class, modified for larger aircraft) for the Amphibious fleet, for home defense a single large carrier as you can launch most aircraft from the land your protecting, and for general purpose, perhaps 2, as a good defense network.
