Future Armoured Vehicle System:
http://www.armee.forces.gc.ca/lf/Images/6_1/20041103_SVBFcombat_M.jpg

The Tundric Defence Forces, in association with the Department of Foreign Affairs has decided to release to the international community the Future Armoured Vehicle System. Based upon the LAV-4 (an improved Tundric version of the Canadian army's LAV-3, also used by the US as the stryker) vehicle, this system provides a wide array of improvements, described below.

Vehicle radar and infrared sensors
These two technologies may be different but they fulfill the same purpose: the detection of objectives. In fact, these two complementary systems can automatically sweep the horizon to detect potential targets. The user has only to program the particular area he wishes to observe, and everything is done automatically. The radar, capable of sensing targets up to four kilometres away, is not affected by bad weather because it is based on extremely high frequency detection. The high-resolution infrared camera has three functions: to follow the radar, to align itself with the crew commander's head, and to settle on a fixed point while indicating the proper direction.

Defensive aids suite
This consists of a laser warning detector system and a missile approach warning system that triggers automatic countermeasures. When a laser marks a vehicle, the gun turns automatically in the direction of the threat and readies itself to fire. Should a missile be heading towards the vehicle, the system produces a blinding laser and generates false objectives to change the missile's trajectory.

The data fusion system: the nerve centre of the entire system
Without a doubt, this is the most important component, as it collects the data sent by the radar, infrared camera and laser warning sensors. It eliminates false alarms– objects on the battlefield that may create confusion – and automatically processes information to display the objectives in order of priority. The system also has a vehicle identification bank and can therefore identify the type of target or vehicle observed. The system's recognition rate is highly impressive, exceeding 95% for objectives that occupy an adequate number of pixels!


A 360-degree view…!

http://www.armee.forces.gc.ca/lf/Images/6_1/20041028_FuturArmrVehicl_H.jpg
A panospheric camera installed on the vehicle offers the crew commander a 360-degree peripheral view outside the vehicle without having to expose himself. Thanks to the head-mounted system, the crew commander enjoys the same view he would have outside the vehicle. Moreover, he sees icons that represent all the potential targets processed by the radar/infrared data fusion system, which defines priorities and identifies the types of the vehicles, their co-ordinates, their distance, etc. The greatest challenge will be to learn the location of the commands on the two joysticks used by the crew commander!

Badger Engineering vehicle:

http://www.armee.forces.gc.ca/lf/English/Images/2_0/44.jpg

The Badger armoured engineering vehicle is designed to provide engineer support to the Tundric Defense Forces. It is
capable of performing a wide range of tasks under battlefield conditions including dozing, ripping, excavating, craning,
grappling, welding, cutting, winching, and towing.

The Badger EV is capable of dozing 270 cubic meters per hour with a maximum dozing speed of 8 km/h. The dozer blade is
equipped with two ripper teeth that are used when backing up. The vehicle is also capable of excavating up to 200 cubic
meters per hour when fitted with a 2 meter wide bucket. It can also be fitted with a smaller 1 meter-wide bucket with a
capacity of 1 cubic meters.

The EV is capable of operating in a crane mode with a maximum lifting capacity of 8 tonnes. The excavator arm can be fitted
with two grappling teeth for picking up large objects. The Badger is also equipped with an electric welding and cutting unit
and a CAPSTAN winch. The winch as a pulling capacity of 40 tonnes and a cable length of 100 meters.

The Badger is capable of carrying and deploying the class 60 Track Way (portable road sections) as well as fascine (a large
bundle of tubes used to fill in anti-tank ditches, creating a crossing site). The class 60 Track Way is carried on the dozer
blade and is deployed by the winch. The fascine is carried on the back deck and is placed using the excavator arm with the
grappling teeth.

The EV is powered by a V-12, twin super charged, 900 horsepower, multi-fuelled engine. It is equipped with an NBCD system
that provides protection against nuclear, biological, and chemical agents. It is also equipped with eight smoke / HE grenade
dischargers.

It is an upgraded version of the Canadian Badger, with superior capabilities and an enlarged engine.

Spartan MBT:

http://images.google.ca/images?q=tbn:zRD014HC3FUJ:www.trainshoponline.com/oga_pics/tank.jpg

This main battle tank is, surprisingly, not based upon a canadian design. Instead, it is loosely based upon the Iron
Cheetah MBT export which the Tundra acquired from Clan Smoke Jaguar in an armored division package. The chassis was
redesigned, and the weapons replaced with similiar models produced in the tundra. All of the equipment mounted on the tank
is the most advanced available to the Tundra, such as the new higher-efficiency engines. The tank's primary weapon is the
120mm cannon, while a .50 caliber machine on a 360 degree 'slider' mount allows for effective anti-infantry firepower. 2
banks of four grenade launchers are used to setup smoke screens, provide illumination at night for supporting forces, or
are equipped with fragmentation grenades. Also included are a pair of twin devastator launchers redesigned for use on
vehicles. These missile packs are excellent for taking care of enemy armour when up close and the main gun is either
reloading or empty. All vehicles previously used (several thousand) are available for export. It comes with full NBC protection.

Crew: 4 + 4
Combat Weight: 65,000 kg
Max Speed: 72 km/h
Max Range: 600 km
Armament:
1x120mm smoothbore
1x .50 caliber on top of the turret
1x7.62mm on a coaxial mount
2 banks of 4 76mm grenade launchers, can be equipped with varying types of grenades
2 twin-devastator launchers with 4 extra missiles each
Cost: $2 million

Phalanx MBT:

http://images.google.ca/images?q=tbn:z_2mkzRB-lwJ:http://www.miramarevents.com/dreammachines/media-images/british-tank-300dpi.jpg

The Phalanx MBT is an older MBT designed for the TDF, it was built using new ideas and some commanders had scoffed at it
stating it wasn't even an MBT. While whether or not it is an MBT is debatable, but Tundric Armaments Inc. has designated it
as such anyways. It is designed with a variety of roles in mind, from backing up assaults to shooting down air units to
acting as a command unit for an assault.

The Phalanx, rather than packing a large caliber cannon, instead makes use of a newly developed 55 millimeter chain gun
with a large load of ammo. The tank also packs on a pair of improved Devastor launchers, and four missile tubes carrying
the same missiles used on the ADATS. To provide anti-infantry firepower not one, but two .50 caliber machine guns are
mounted, one on a coaxial mount, and one on a 'slider' mount for 360 degree firepower. There is an advanced communication
system on board, an a variety of sensing equipment for detecting and targeting anything from humvees to fighters.

A newly developed, and fairly sophisticated IFF system with a database of all vehicles and markings known to the Tundra
allow the computer to automatically identify enemy units as a friendly, enemy, or unknown, with an optional neutral setting
that can be customized by technicians or the tank crew themselves. This system also allows gives the crew a technical
readout (using radar signature and its database's stat listings) on the unit before it is even in visual range. However,
these readouts may not be completely accurate when acquired from a distance, and all crews are advised to not rely on them
until they are acquired from within visual range, as the computer can identify the units far more accurately from the closer
range. While the TDF was initially reluctant to sell the IFF system, it has become outdated when compared to the TDF's FAVS, and the vehicle is no longer in use with the TDF. However, the system is still an excellent choice for nations who do not possess the capabilities of the FAVS.

Crew: 4, with space for a unit commander to utilize as a command system
Combat weight: 55,000 kg
Max speed: 78 km/h
Max range: 650 km
Armament:
1x 55 mm chain gun
1x .50 cal on 'slider' mount
1x .50 cal on coax mount
4x ADATS missiles
2x ATGMs (mounts can be moved with in a 90 degree arc)
Cost: $2 million, $2.5 million with IFF system installed

"Northman" Main Battle Tank:

http://images.google.ca/images?q=tbn:FVMpkHFtDRgJ:www.combatreform.com/thunderbolt02.jpg

These tanks were designed and put into production at the onset of the civil war, and were exclusive to the Loyalist forces. The production rights were made available to Kihameria and Hattia due to their assistance with the war. The Northman is now used primarily by reserve forces.

The Northman is armed with a powerful 76mm rapid fire gun capable of throwing forth 120 rounds a minute. This weapon is based upon the Melara 76mm gun, and has been retrofitted for use on a land vehicle. The Northman also packs two banks of four grenade launchers, and a a pair of .50 cal machine guns.

However, this export version is a cheaper, and lower quality vehicle. The gun system is only capable of 90 rounds a minute, the twin 50-caliber guns have been replaced by 7.62mm machine guns, the armour is thinner, and the engine has been downsized. With the civil war long over, and this vehicle soon to leave service, the Northman, both export, and standard, are available for sale, as are production rights.

Northman *Export*

Cost: $2 million export, $3 million standard

Arctic Wolf MBT:

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m-1-dvic344-s.jpg

The Arctic Wolf MBT was commisioned by Tundric Armaments Inc. to replace the aging Spartans and the less than commonly used Phalanx MBTs. The Arctic Wolf packs a larger 130mm cannon, a pair of .50 cal machine guns, twin Devastator and twin Stinger missiles round out the primary compliment, while three banks of 4 grenades provide a variety of support for the vehicle such as incendiary grenades for clearing enemy infantry positions, and smoke grenades for setting up smoke screens.

The Arctic Wolf's latest incarnation, the A1A5 Arctic Wolf, packs the latest military technologies the Tundra possesses, but the export version lacks that.
These vehicles have seen much action during the civil war, the invasion of Castamere, and the numerous skirmishes between the Free Provincial Alliance and the Tundra, and have proven to be some of the top vehicles in the world.

There are two export version available, one fields the same electronics suite as the FAVS, and the other packs an upgrade Phalanx IFF package, but is cheaper.

Arctic Wolf *Export*
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 68,000 kgs
Speed: 72 km/h
Max Range: 600 km
Armament:
1x 130mm smoothbore
1x .50 on top of the turret
1x .50 on a coaxial mount
3x banks of 4 76mm grenades
2x Missile launchers (ATGMs and some types of AA missiles)
Cost: $5 million standard, $6.5 million with FAVS electronics package

The Tundra is offering a 5% discount on all purchases since it is the grand opening of the storefront

OOC: You should know something about the Stryker: It sucks. Armor is paper-thin, turn radius absolutely horrible, and ridiculously expensive. Go with upgraded M113s instead.

OOC: That's the 'improved' part, LAV-4 has thicker armour, and most are equipped with the steel cages to protect against rockets. However, I should apologize as I didn't put the LAV-4 itself in here yet, the FAVS is just describing the electronics suite.
