TSF-28 Seraph Air Superiority Fighter
Technical Data:
Contractor: Kotoko Aircraft Corporation
Type: Advanced Air-Superiority Fighter
Personnel: 1
Systems/Avionics:
NACS Mk. I - Aircraft control system. Composed of an advanced Fly-By-Light scheme that utilizes fibre-optic wires just nanometers-thick, the NACS provides the aircraft far superior agility and manuverablity to any legacy fly-by-wire system in the world, giving the TSF-28's pilot unmatched responsiveness and control.
JNFC Mk. III - Target/track/firing computer, which has several subsystems:
AN/PSI-2 - RADAR for the TSF-28, which is a bistatic phased-array NPI system, mounted in the aircraft's nose and a tail apeture, giving the Seraph a complete 360 degree scan capability. Capable of burning through 5th Generation (F-22 level) stealth measures at roughly 280 km.
NISTC-66 - Infared sensor system, which scans for any and all heat signatures within a 100 km radius from the aircraft. When a target is discovered, the data is fed to the JNFC, which then relays the information to IR-guided XSRAAMs mounted on the Seraph's side bays or wingtips. From there, the XSRAAM is guided to the missile based on its own seeker or the pilot can initiate a Command Datalink update.
NTTC-92 - Target track component of the JNFC. Capable of hunting in excess of 200 independent signatures, the system identifies the target's headings based on data from the IR sensors and RADAR system, then relays the information to the JNFC.
NPRC-4 - Target attack component of the JNFC. The NTTC's datastream is relayed to the NPRC, which then issues the information to the TSF-28's weapons systems. Capable of marking up to fifty-six different targets at one time, and simultaeneously attacking up to eight, the NPRC-4 is the heart of the Seraph's extensive fire control systems.
Holy Thunder - TSF-28's 27mm cannon system. Based on the datastream from the NPRC-4's computer, the gun is independently operated by the aircraft itself, although a pilot can override the automatic system for manual control.
Stealth:
The TSF-28 Seraph employs technologies to significantly reduce RADAR Cross Section (RCS), infrared signature, electromagnetic signature, visual signature and aural signature. RCS reduction represents the paramount feature considered in Kotoko Aircraft Corporation's design. To reduce RCS, the Seraph employs a geometrically based radar dispersing configuration. Developed utilizing computational RCS modeling, the TSF-28 configuration employs facets approximated by curvelinear, polynomial sections. Ultimate RCS reduction for the TSF-28, however, is dependent upon a combination of bandpass external skins, internal shaping and the implementation of the NCPCAS-12 Active Stealth System. Between the external bandpass skins and the internal graphite hull backed by an alloy geodetic structure is a cavity. Within this cavity a low temperature plasma is achieved. This plasma, as manipulated by the TSF-28’s computer driven self-protection network, provides an unparalleled level of active stealth technology whereby incoming RADAR energy is substantially disrupted such that return signal is reduced to undetectable levels or chaotic, undecipherable signals. Rather than rely solely upon external shaping, the TSF-28's stealth technology adapts to frequency and bandwidth, allowing maximum low observance performance against all air-to-air and ground based RADAR types alike.
Reduction of IR emissions is achieved through the use of a dedicated engine bay cooling/IR signature reduction system. Ducting residual inlet air through the NCPCAS-12 significantly reduces the TSF-28 Seraph's IR signature both at subsonic and supersonic speeds.
Aural signature is reduced in part through the NCPCAS-12. For enhanced aural signature reduction, the TSF-28 Seraph Air Superiority Fighter features Active Frequency Damping (AFD) and comparable active noise control systems. Visual signature is reduced through a chloro-flurosuphonic acid that is injected into the exhaust gases of the two TC-250-PW-60 engines, eliminating engine vapor trails.
Airframe:
Wing structure consists of two Ti-6A1-4V titanium and one Elgiloy cobalt-chromium-nickel alloy spar, fifteen titanium ribs, and multiple Titanium Oxide stringers. Titanium/tungsten carbide plates are mated to the spar/rib structure, forming a fuel tank for the TSF-28. Wing skins composed of layered Single Walled Nano Tubes, providing maximum resistance to tear. Wing leading and trailing edges are graphite composites mated with titanium. Each wing is equipped with full span leading edge slats and trailing edge, double-slotted Fowler Flaps for lift augmentation. Maximum trailing edge flap deflection is 60º. Leading and trailing edge flaps are controlled by NKACSW-110 hydraulic cylinders. The wing is equipped with 0.20c flapperons for subsonic roll.

TSM-1 Falcon
XSRAAM (Cross-platform Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile)
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/row/aa-11.jpg
Designed as the premier short-range AAM in the inventory of the Militant Imperium, the TSM-1 Falcon XSRAAM represents the finest in aeronautical engineering that Tyrandis possesses.
Realizing that the in-service AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles were woefully inadequate to the task of destroying the latest and greatest in modern fighter aircraft, Kotoko Aircraft Corporation, makers of the TSF-28 Seraph Air Superiority Fighter, was contracted to produce a new missile for close-range engagements. Utilizing several advancements in the art of missile production, including LIDAR guidance and thrust-vectored engines, the Falcon is one of the lighter missiles of its kind. Although the warhead is not quite as powerful as its competitors, the TSM-1 is still capable of knocking out virtually any fighter with just one shot. It is capable of over 65+ G-force turns, making this little bird almost impossible to outmanuver.
The XSRAAM's advanced electronically steered seeker allows quick target lockon at extremely large offboresight angles. Pilots are able to launch missiles 'overtheshoulder' at trailing adversaries, while maintaining straight and level, high speed flight, enhancing their survivability. The ability to quickly capture and maintain angles of attack exceeding 90 degrees enables the missile to turn to the rear less than a second after launch.

TSM-2 Hawk
XMRAAM (Cross-platform Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile)
http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Aircraft/Missiles/Images/R-77B.jpg
After extensive field testing of the American AIM-120C AMRAAM by the Tyrandis Imperial Air Force, it was quickly determined that the 'Slammer' was not effective enough to bring down the next-generation fighters currently employed by most developed nations. In a bitterly fought contest between Kotoko Aircraft Corporation and Nippon Aerospace, the former won the competition to produce an upgraded AAM to fill the medium-range niche with its TSM-2 Hawk. Lighter, faster, and far more difficult to trick than its predecessor, the TSM-2 will be the frontline missile for the TIAF into the next century.
The TSM-2 features a hybrid RAMjet/solid propellant powerplant, pushing this missile to over four times the speed of sound. An improved flight control system combines small, side-thrusting reaction jets integrated into the aft section of the main rocket motor with reduced-span tailfins. The jets are used to manuver the TSM-2 Hawk to 50+ G turns, making this one of the toughest missiles in the world to crack.

TSM-3 Eagle
XBVRAAM (Cross-platform Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile)
http://www.eurofighter.starstreak.net/common/AA/images/fmraam-cutout.jpg
Throughout the development of the various missiles of the Tyrandis Imperial Air Force, an extensive gap in the department of long-range missile technology was evident in the arsenal, with TSF-28A Seraph pilots using almost thirty year old AIM-54C Phoenix missiles to satisfy that requirement. To remedy this most pathetic situation, the geniuses of Kotoko Aircraft Corporation won a contract to develop the next generation of Beyond Visual Range AAM. With the TSM-3 Eagle, the air forces of the Imperium have a weapon capable of destroying any aircraft that is likely to appear within the next two decades.
The TSM-3 comprises of essentially four sections: seeker, missile electronics and fuze, warhead and rocket SCRAMjet enclosed within a stealthy, low drag, lightweight body. The seeker is an Active X-band RADAR/LIDAR, that can also operate passively in K-band. The next section encloses the TSM-3 Eagle's electronics, KAC-98 laser proximity/electromagnetic fuze system, power unit and battery. The rear section comprises the Eagle's powerplant and datalink package. The engine is a thrust vectored hybrid solid propellant/SCRAMjet that propells the TSM-3 to a speed of over Mach 6 at higher altitudes, although performance is degraded at lower climes. The TSM-3 Eagle's advanced powerplant and construction allows this massive AAM to make 45+G turns.

TNM-16 Pirahna SuperCavitating Torpedo
http://www.diodon349.com/Kursk-Memorial/Kursk_images/0501ashley_7a.jpg
The TNM-16 Pirahna torpedo is the standard anti-ship munition carried by the submarine forces of the Militant Imperium.
Based loosely off the old Shkval torpedoes developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1970's, the TNM-16 was built in response to the growing trend of "Run Fast, Run Deep" in nautical weapons design. Developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics, Pirahna is expected to replace the old Mk. 56 MADCAPs currently fielded within the decade.
After the TNM-16 Pirahna clears the tube at fifty knots, the Pirahna's RAMjet fires, propelling the missile through the water at over five hundred miles per hour several times as fast as conventional torpedoes. The solid-rocket propelled "torpedo" achieves high speeds by producing a high-pressure stream of bubbles from its nose and skin, which coats the torpedo in a thin layer of gas and forms a local "envelope" of supercavitating bubbles.
When the suction on the low-pressure side of the propeller blade dips below ambient pressure [atmospheric plus hydrostatic head] the propeller blade cavitates -- a vacuum cavity forms. There is water vapor in the cavity, and the pressure is not a true vacuum, but equal to the vapor pressure of the water. This creates an effect known as "supercavitation". A high speed supercavitating projectile, while moving in the forward direction, rotates inside the cavity. This rotation leads to a series of impacts between the projectile tail and the cavity wall. The impacts affect the trajectory as well as the stability of motion of the projectile. Despite the impacts with the cavity wall, the projectile nearly follows a straight line path. The frequency of the impacts between the projectile tail and cavity boundary increases initially, reaches a maximum, and then decreases gradually. The frequency of impacts decreases with the projectile's moment of inertia.
Launched from any compatible 660mm torpedo tube, the TNM-16 is very much unlike the previous generation of supercavitating weapons, featuring an extensive guidance package, as well as highly effective manuverability. Using a combination of Active SONAR and Magnetic Guidance, and a revolutionary thrust-vectored design, Pirahna can effectively destroy any surface or submersible vessel that is likely to appear within the next two decades.

TSB-8 Talon Multi-mission Strike Bomber
Technical Data:
Contractor: Kotoko Aircraft Corporation
Type: Multi-purpose Attack Aircraft
Personnel: 2
Systems/Avionics:
NACS Mk. Ib - Aircraft control system, adapted from the TSF-28 Air Superiority Fighter. Composed of an advanced Fly-By-Light scheme that utilizes fibre-optic wires just nanometers-thick, the NACS provides the Talon sufficient performance that the bomber is about as manuverable as most conventional fighter aircraft.
JNFC Mk. III - Target/track/firing computer, which has several subsystems:
AN/PSI-2 - RADAR for the TSB-8, which is a bistatic phased-array NPI system, mounted in the aircraft's nose and a tail apeture, giving the bomber a complete 360 degree scan capability. Capable of burning through 5th Generation (F-22 level) stealth measures at roughly 280 km.
NTTC-92 - Target track component of the JNFC, adapted for use with AGM/ALCMs. Capable of hunting in excess of 200 independent signatures, the NTTC-92 identifies the target's headings based on data from RADAR system, then relays the information to the JNFC.
NPRC-4 - Target attack component of the JNFC. The NTTC's datastream is relayed to the NPRC, which then issues the information to the TSB-8's weapons systems. Capable of marking up to fifty-six different targets at one time, and simultaeneously attacking up to eight, the NPRC-4 is the heart of the Talons extensive fire control systems.
Divine Thunder - TSB-8's twin 27mm cannon system, mounted internally underneath the main fuselage.. Based on the datastream from the NPRC-4's computer, the gun is independently operated by the aircraft itself, although a pilot can override the automatic system for manual control.
Stealth:
The TSB-8 Talon employs technologies to significantly reduce RADAR Cross Section (RCS), infrared signature, electromagnetic signature, visual signature and aural signature. RCS reduction represents the paramount feature considered in Kotoko Aircraft Corporation's design. To reduce RCS, the Seraph employs a geometrically based radar dispersing configuration. Developed utilizing computational RCS modeling, the TSB-8 configuration employs facets approximated by curvelinear, polynomial sections. Ultimate RCS reduction for the TSB-8, however, is dependent upon a combination of bandpass external skins, internal shaping and the implementation of the NCPCAS-12 Active Stealth System. Between the external bandpass skins and the internal graphite hull backed by an alloy geodetic structure is a cavity. Within this cavity a low temperature plasma is achieved. This plasma, as manipulated by the TSB-8’s computer driven self-protection network, provides an unparalleled level of active stealth technology whereby incoming RADAR energy is substantially disrupted such that return signal is reduced to undetectable levels or chaotic, undecipherable signals. Rather than rely solely upon external shaping, the TSB-8's stealth technology adapts to frequency and bandwidth, allowing maximum low observance performance against all air-to-air and ground based RADAR types alike.
Reduction of IR emissions is achieved through the use of a dedicated engine bay cooling/IR signature reduction system. Ducting residual inlet air through the NCPCAS-12 significantly reduces the TSB-8 Talon Multi-mission Strike Bomber's IR signature both at subsonic and supersonic speeds.
Aural signature is reduced in part through the NCPCAS-12. For enhanced aural signature reduction, the TSB-8 Talon Multi-mission Strike Bomber features Active Frequency Damping (AFD) and comparable active noise control systems. Visual signature is reduced through a chloro-flurosuphonic acid that is injected into the exhaust gases of the two TC-250-PW-60 engines, eliminating engine vapor trails.
Powerplant:
2x Tyrandis Engineering TC-348-PW-1 pulse-det hybrids, providing sum of 120,500 lbs thrust to the aircraft, with 2D degree thrust vectoring from +45 degrees through -45 degrees.

TSM-1 Falcon
XSRAAM (Cross-platform Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile)
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/row/aa-11.jpg
Designed as the premier short-range AAM in the inventory of the Militant Imperium, the TSM-1 Falcon XSRAAM represents the finest in aeronautical engineering that Tyrandis possesses.
Realizing that the in-service AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles were woefully inadequate to the task of destroying the latest and greatest in modern fighter aircraft, Kotoko Aircraft Corporation, makers of the TSF-28 Seraph Air Superiority Fighter, was contracted to produce a new missile for close-range engagements. Utilizing several advancements in the art of missile production, including LIDAR guidance and thrust-vectored engines, the Falcon is one of the lighter missiles of its kind. Although the warhead is not quite as powerful as its competitors, the TSM-1 is still capable of knocking out virtually any fighter with just one shot. It is capable of over 65+ G-force turns, making this little bird almost impossible to outmanuver.
The XSRAAM's advanced electronically steered seeker allows quick target lockon at extremely large offboresight angles. Pilots are able to launch missiles 'overtheshoulder' at trailing adversaries, while maintaining straight and level, high speed flight, enhancing their survivability. The ability to quickly capture and maintain angles of attack exceeding 90 degrees enables the missile to turn to the rear less than a second after launch.

TSM-2 Hawk
XMRAAM (Cross-platform Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile)
http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Aircraft/Missiles/Images/R-77B.jpg
After extensive field testing of the American AIM-120C AMRAAM by the Tyrandis Imperial Air Force, it was quickly determined that the 'Slammer' was not effective enough to bring down the next-generation fighters currently employed by most developed nations. In a bitterly fought contest between Kotoko Aircraft Corporation and Nippon Aerospace, the former won the competition to produce an upgraded AAM to fill the medium-range niche with its TSM-2 Hawk. Lighter, faster, and far more difficult to trick than its predecessor, the TSM-2 will be the frontline missile for the TIAF into the next century.
The TSM-2 features a hybrid RAMjet/solid propellant powerplant, pushing this missile to over four times the speed of sound. An improved flight control system combines small, side-thrusting reaction jets integrated into the aft section of the main rocket motor with reduced-span tailfins. The jets are used to manuver the TSM-2 Hawk to 50+ G turns, making this one of the toughest missiles in the world to crack.

TSM-3 Eagle
XBVRAAM (Cross-platform Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile)
http://www.eurofighter.starstreak.net/common/AA/images/fmraam-cutout.jpg
Throughout the development of the various missiles of the Tyrandis Imperial Air Force, an extensive gap in the department of long-range missile technology was evident in the arsenal, with TSF-28A Seraph pilots using almost thirty year old AIM-54C Phoenix missiles to satisfy that requirement. To remedy this most pathetic situation, the geniuses of Kotoko Aircraft Corporation won a contract to develop the next generation of Beyond Visual Range AAM. With the TSM-3 Eagle, the air forces of the Imperium have a weapon capable of destroying any aircraft that is likely to appear within the next two decades.
The TSM-3 comprises of essentially four sections: seeker, missile electronics and fuze, warhead and rocket SCRAMjet enclosed within a stealthy, low drag, lightweight body. The seeker is an Active X-band RADAR/LIDAR, that can also operate passively in K-band. The next section encloses the TSM-3 Eagle's electronics, KAC-98 laser proximity/electromagnetic fuze system, power unit and battery. The rear section comprises the Eagle's powerplant and datalink package. The engine is a thrust vectored hybrid solid propellant/SCRAMjet that propells the TSM-3 to a speed of over Mach 6 at higher altitudes, although performance is degraded at lower climes. The TSM-3 Eagle's advanced powerplant and construction allows this massive AAM to make 45+G turns.

TNM-16 Pirahna SuperCavitating Torpedo
http://www.diodon349.com/Kursk-Memorial/Kursk_images/0501ashley_7a.jpg
The TNM-16 Pirahna torpedo is the standard anti-ship munition carried by the submarine forces of the Militant Imperium.
Based loosely off the old Shkval torpedoes developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1970's, the TNM-16 was built in response to the growing trend of "Run Fast, Run Deep" in nautical weapons design. Developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics, Pirahna is expected to replace the old Mk. 56 MADCAPs currently fielded within the decade.
After the TNM-16 Pirahna clears the tube at fifty knots, the Pirahna's RAMjet fires, propelling the missile through the water at over five hundred miles per hour several times as fast as conventional torpedoes. The solid-rocket propelled "torpedo" achieves high speeds by producing a high-pressure stream of bubbles from its nose and skin, which coats the torpedo in a thin layer of gas and forms a local "envelope" of supercavitating bubbles.
When the suction on the low-pressure side of the propeller blade dips below ambient pressure [atmospheric plus hydrostatic head] the propeller blade cavitates -- a vacuum cavity forms. There is water vapor in the cavity, and the pressure is not a true vacuum, but equal to the vapor pressure of the water. This creates an effect known as "supercavitation". A high speed supercavitating projectile, while moving in the forward direction, rotates inside the cavity. This rotation leads to a series of impacts between the projectile tail and the cavity wall. The impacts affect the trajectory as well as the stability of motion of the projectile. Despite the impacts with the cavity wall, the projectile nearly follows a straight line path. The frequency of the impacts between the projectile tail and cavity boundary increases initially, reaches a maximum, and then decreases gradually. The frequency of impacts decreases with the projectile's moment of inertia.
Launched from any compatible 660mm torpedo tube, the TNM-16 is very much unlike the previous generation of supercavitating weapons, featuring an extensive guidance package, as well as highly effective manuverability. Using a combination of Active SONAR and Magnetic Guidance, and a revolutionary thrust-vectored design, Pirahna can effectively destroy any surface or submersible vessel that is likely to appear within the next two decades.
