[Public Announcement Concerning Kriegzimmer and Orders]
Beginning the 21 June and ending c. 20 August Kriegzimmer will be taking orders, however, all orders are to be considered confirmed on default, and the processing will done on standard schedule. Due to a vacation across the board of Kriegzimmer there will be no officials waiting for your orders, and consequently, nobody to confirm.

On one part we do know that this will make the flow of orders much faster, since everything is much faster, and consequently better for our client. However, on the other hand, it does make our job harder when the vacation ends. Regardless, this is the new policy until we officially return.

Normal processing will continue until 21 June.

Thank you,

Hey Mac,

I'd like to discuss the creation of new Coastal Defence Guns with you... and perhaps other coastal defence systems. And maybe some other things... oui oui?

Anyways, I would like to purchase 320 Pepperbox class LSV's please. That should take some weight off my shipyards shoulders for awhile...$64,000,000,000 I believe is the total?

Hey Mac, since you cant confirm orders and officially build the products, i have an idea. Recently my economy hit a low ((how the hell do you get to frightening anyhow?)) and i have a proposition for you. Im on I.I. alot, and i could confirm orders and such, have my industries take over building and confirming but since my economy is a bit low now, i could use some cash. I would do all this for fun, and a small amount of money to boost my coffers. What do you think?

[OOC: We could do that. I actually postponed my flight to 4 July since I have to get everything for my entrance into the university ready, but we can get everything ready for then.

We would have to work out percentages and such, but I would be willing to give you 75% of the profits, and me keeping 25% to pay for the actual products, and that way I don't go into the red. You don't have to transfer the industries to your country if you don't want to, although that would, technically, create more jobs for your nation - ICly that is.

And, to get your economy to frightening, it took me a while. I don't even think you can hit frightening if you're under 300 million. But, generally, mine uranium - screw the forest -, go pro big business, free trade, etc.]

For percents I will let you decide becuase i would like you to get whatever money you need to not go under and take some small profits for yourself. Im open to anything though, and if you want to work this through AIM my s/n is Hailandkill09.

BTW if i wanted to buy say ships from you, while im running it, would i technically pay the percent you take home? Say its 25, would i pay 25 to you or nothing at all since im making the goods?

To: Hail and Kill

Your order has been confirmed, and unfortunately is that last order Kriegzimmer will be processing. In fact, your nation is now the center of Kriegzimmer production! Consequently, unless your government specifies different, you may proceed contruction at your own wharfs, and keep 75% of the sales profits. The other 25% would be returned to us, to be invested into further designs, so that we don't run into the red - that way it pays for itself.

OOC:
So any order from here on I will confirm and such?
Wharfs and factories were subsequently built when we had agreed upon the agreement a few posts ago.
Oh, to tackle one issue, since i use primarily your products how would i go about building equipment for my nation that uses your designes? Would i end up paying you 25% off what i would normally pay?

[OOC:
1. Yea, you confirm orders.
2. If you're building it for yourself, just go ahead and built it without paying anything, except what you would build the company for building it - since the company, technically, is not state owned. You don't have to pay me anything.]

OOC:
Ok, I got everything understood. Ok last few suggestions/comments: You might wanna do a post that says the company is acting in my homeland and such, so people believe me when i confirm orders and I would like to ask one more favor.
Recently i have designed my own submarine and it isnt being bought much, so i ask if you would like to stock it and in normal times (aka, when you start running the SF again) i would build the sub, send it to the buyer and we split the profit, 75% me and 25% commission fee to you for stocking the sub. Lemme know if your interested.

[OOC:

Alright, yea I'll post that order confirmation has been transferred to you until August 20th. As for your submarine, do you mean you want me to list it here, and post it on the main page, and then when somebody orders it 75% is given to you, and 25% to me? If so, that's cool, I can do that.]

[Maiden Class Nuclear Powered Submergible Carrier]

[Notes:
1. This design was put into concept by Hailandkill, consequently, all kudos and props should be directed towards him, not myself. I am just adding his design due to a request.

The following notes are provided by Hailandkill:

2. Because I am using F-35B it is possible to house 10 on the flight deck (which is internal) for quicker takeoff. Also it possible to hold 14+ aircraft in the hangar. Because the length is 45ft and the wingspan 36ft there are ways in which these planes can be held, even wing to wing.

3. The flight deck is internal! I have re-typed my description to clear this up. Doors that are part of the hull open, by sliding under, and reveal the flight deck. I have a really shitty paint illustration but it gets the job done. Link: http://img147.echo.cx/my.php?image=submarine4ux.png

4. The crew is smaller because the fact it’s a submarine and not a large aircraft carrier and all my aircrew have special training on top of normal training. Also because in this case smaller=better and hence we have to cut out some of the numbers. ]

[Specifications:]
Length: 480 ft.
Length from beam to beam: 100ft.
Height: 90ft.
Crew: 400 persons.

[Introduction]
The Maiden class submarine was influenced by the idea that having a mobile air wing that could strike from no known position could give a big advantage in war. The HailandKill navy had begun to research ideas and along with the war department of IronMaidia to come to this design. This submarine was also designed to launch aircraft for surprise attacks and it also designed to fight in submarine to submarine warfare if it is necessary.

[Hull]
The Maiden class submarine is ninety feet in height containing four main decks. All the decks on the Maiden class are connected to the hull and are stationary. Deck four makes the main airstrip that planes take off from; this deck is thirty-two feet in height. Deck four also has two cut-outs in its bow and stern ends for the elevators. Deck three is the main aircraft hangar and is twenty-two feet high; deck three has four main elevators that connect to the top of deck four to bring aircraft to the main flight deck. These elevators have four poles that hold the elevator, and these poles are connected to deck three. These poles bring the elevator up or down. These poles are also hydraulic and worked by a panel on the elevator. Deck three can hold twenty four F-35 B/C aircraft, or twenty four planes of similar dimensions. Decks two and one are each split up into two major compartments. The front most part of deck two is the command room and the operating aircraft control room. The rear part of deck two is the crew bunkrooms. The lowest deck, deck one has a torpedo room in the front most part of the ship. The two pebble nuclear reactors are located in the rearmost part of the ship. This reactor room is sealed from the rest of the ship with one inch thick lead coating and a single access door.

A major component and innovation of the hull for the Maiden class is that the top part of the hull is retractable to allow aircraft takeoff from the main flight deck. The flight deck itself is four hundred and forty feet long by sixty feet in width and is stationary. The retractable top of the hull is operated by two hydraulic arms to slide the panels underneath the stationary part of the top of the hull. Each panel is forty five feet (curved) by four hundred and forty feet. The panels meet in the center of the ship when closed and are tipped with rubber to minimize water leakage. The two panels are coated with thin rubber liners underneath them. Compression and expansion joints are placed by the stationary piece where the panels are when they are closed to minimize any water leakage. The panels in the ship are made watertight along to keep the flight deck underneath dry but the expansion and compression joints along with the rubber coating help insure safety and dryness.

The actual hull is comprised of four layers. The first layer is one and a half inch thick HY-100 steel followed by the second layer of one inch thick titanium. The third layer is a two and a half inch thick layer of an aluminum and copper alloy. The fourth and final layer is a single inch of hardened steel.

Six torpedo mounts are built into the hull. The torpedo room can fire MK-48 torpedoes or harpoon SSM missiles.

[Aircraft Launch]
The flight deck on the Maiden class submarine can launch up to ten SVTOL aircraft. HailandKill and IronMaidia navies will use F-35 navy modified planes. Ten SVTOL aircraft can be tied down on the aircraft deck while the submarine is submerged to make takeoff quicker. The SVTOL systems on the planes will make takeoff and landing vertical and when planes are landing a wire will catch the plane to minimize slipping and crashing during landing. The aircraft will have to maneuver about 35ft up and out of the submarine before it has total 3-D maneuvering ability.

[Targeting/Radar/Sonar Systems]
The AN/BSY-2 Submarine Combat System is designed to support Maiden class submarines in all mission areas. It is required to detect, classify, localize and track targets, platforms, and weapons by means of onboard active and passive sensors and with target information from other platforms and external detection systems. The combat control subsystem provides setting and control of weapons, over-the-horizon targeting, combat systems management, improved target motion analysis, piloting and navigation functions, and automatic contact correlation. It includes the weapon launch equipment for the MK 48 Advanced Capability torpedo and the Tomahawk Missile. Acoustic hardware includes a truncated 24 ft diameter spherical receive array, a 15 ft diameter hemisphere active transmit array, the Wide Aperture Array (WAA), a low frequency bow array, two towed arrays, and a mine detection and avoidance high frequency array. The submarine's control suite is equipped with computer touch screens. The submarine's steering and diving control is via a four-button, two-axis joystick.

Radar used on Maiden class submarines is the advanced electronically scanned array (AESA) AN/APG-81 multi-function radar. The AN/APG-81AESA will combine an integrated radio frequency subsystem with a multifunction array to track all targets.

[Countermeasures]
Maiden class submarines will be fitted with the AN/WLY-1 acoustic countermeasures system which provides range and bearing data, and the mast-mounted AN/BLQ-10 Electronic Support Measures (ESM) system. AN/BLQ-10 provides full spectrum radar processing, automatic threat warning and situation assessment

[Propulsion]
The Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is a new type of high temperature helium gas-cooled nuclear reactor, which builds and advances on world-wide nuclear operators' experience of older reactor designs. The most remarkable feature of these reactors is that they use attributes inherent in and natural to the processes of nuclear energy generation to enhance safety features. It is also a practical and cost-effective solution to most of the logistics of generating electricity. These reactors power two main fans that propel the ship.

[Crew]
The actual submarine is run by twenty officers and two hundred and twenty crewmen. There are twenty-four main pilots and ten reserve pilots. There are forty aircraft mechanics on board. There are twenty-five landing and taking off personnel who guide the planes in and out of the submarine. There are sixty-five various specialists for the air wing.

[Cost:] 6 Billion USD

[OOC: Check your TGs]

OOC:
I just finished looking at the first page and the description and everything is beautifully done. My compliments and kudos but most of all thanks for everything.

[Panzerkampfwaggen XII [Pzkmpf. XII] Wolverine Light Tank]

[Imagery]
http://www.sinodefence.com/army/tank/type90_1.jpg

[Project Information]
The Pzkmpf. XII Wolverine project began under the light of the three new campaigns undertaken by the Golden Throne's Werhmacht. The major impact was the warfare in Guadalombia which was specifically guerilla in style, and did not include the movement of large masses of bodies, but instead special operation teams. Consequently, it dawned on the OberKommando des Werhmacht [OKW, or Chief of General Staff] that a new tank was required for said operations. Ergo, the OKW went to Emperor Jonach I asking the administration to fund a team from the Kriegzimmer Conglomerate to design and build a tank light enough to drop in multiple numbers in rough terrain, but with the punch to engage another tank.

After a couple of months Kriegzimmer's Product Bureau showed Emperor Jonach the blueprints and description of a project codenamed Wolverine. Jonach immediately fell in love with the tank and ordered for a proto-type to be constructed. The proto-type has been everything that was expected of it, and consequently, the Heer has already ordered a full set of Wolverines to be constructed for the Waffen-SS, an exclusively foreign manned military - however, exact numbers have still not been released.

[Armor Considerations]
The Pzkmpf. XII Wolverine is protected by an exterior layer of Kontact-5 ERA, with a secondary layer of MEXAS. Their adds up to be eighteen millimeters of MEXAS armor, giving it an RHA value from 8mms to an extraordinary 2,500mms (for CEs, KE is considerably less), depending on the angle it’s installed at. The MEXAS is covered with a secondary layer of a stitched glass reinforced composite. The matrix resins used are orthophtalic polyester, isophthalic polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy, which are currently used on some Norwegian patrol craft. The hulls are laminated inside and outside with fibre reinforced plastic composed of glass fibre and carbon laminates bound with vinyl ester and polyester resin. A scrimp manufacturing process is used in construction, involving vacuum assisted resin injection. Carbon fibre and carbon loaded materials have been selected for the supporting structures, which need high tensile strength, for example the support structures for the gun and the electro-optical and radar weapon director.

Over these two layers of armor there is a polycarbonate glass layer designed to provide substantial stealth capabilities, especially in a heavily wooded area. The same idea has been incorporated in several Scandinavian ship designs, and it has been proven to work.

The Wolverine's glass reinforced secondary layer is not made up of a single brick, or in that case small bricks. Instead, special production plants, built of course for the SOV-06 and the SOV-06 alone, will manufacture this armor, now dubbed ‘GRA’, in sheets which can be applied to the Wolverine. Meaning, that if the GRA is one part of the Wolverine is damaged then the Wolverine wouldn’t have to go through an extensive operation to fix the damage. Instead, a team of mechanics could simply take off the sheet and re-apply a new sheet while the old sheet is ‘recycled’ back home.

Total armor values for kinetic energy weapons are rated at:

Front: 1,100mm
Side: 550mm [Side-skirts can increase side armor however]
Rear: 500mm
Top: 312mm

[Armament]
The primary armament on the Wolverine Light Tank is a sole 105mm ETC cannon, which gives it about the punch necessary to effectively stand up against heavier tank models. To make the turret turn quicker the turret and the chassis are divided in two by a central gyro circular sheet of composite metals, using McPhearson strut like bars, interwoven in springs (much like the shocks on your cars) and then smaller gyrating bars, to make the movement hydraulic, consequently, making it much faster. As do other Macabee tanks there are also small "R rings" inside the barrel which are springs measuring nanometers in size which reduce the recoil post-firing as well as muzzle flash. The cannon and turret can traverse through 360° and the elevation is from -45° to +60°.

The main gun also features an automated loader, although this does add to the eventual weight and complexity of the machine. Regardless, it was decided that an automated loader would be a much better option than a fourth crew member, especially when dealing with fatigue and compartment crampedness.

Secondary armaments include two 12.7mm heavy machine guns, each with a 180 degree field of view. Consequently, the two guns, both fired through lever action, one by the commander the other by the driver, defend two seperate field of views, in which way they provide full circle coverage for the tank.

There is also an automated 15mm topgun. Although it would be suspected that the 15mm gun would actually be a logistical nightmare, Kriegzimmer already provides 15mm DU rounds for its SOV-06 infantry fighting vehicle. However, export versions are fitted with another 12.7mm conventional machine gun.

[Fire and Control]
http://www.gdcanada.com/company_info/images/chart.jpg

The new fire and control system present on the Pz. XI, dubbed 'Brass', is the new top notch of said systems, developed by General Dynamics (Canada) and expanded upon by Macabee engineers. It includes Multi-Role Sensor Suite, Multi-Sensor Integration, Integrated Sensor/TA Suite, Virtual Immersive, Environment (AVTB)\, Neuroholographic ATD/R, Immersive Visualization. Moreover, the new system has both a low altitude RADAR and LIDAR system which has capabilities of tracking and giving firing solutions for up to twenty different targets at up to four thousand meters for the LIDAR and up to eleven thousand meters for the RADAR (although, of course, a gun doesn't necessarily have the power nor the type of shell to reach that far, and of course, that doesn't mean that the area between you and the enemy tank if full of large rocks that can disrupt your shell and its vector). The LIDAR uses a gaussian transmitter, which is right now the most advanced LIDAR transmitter developed by the United States. Of course, this fire and control system also uses thermal imaging, and of course, infra-red imaging.

The sighting and vision systems are fitted according to the customer country's mission requirements. The commander's station is fitted with an optional panoramic sight and six episcopes fitted with a switch for gun and episcope alignment. The gunner's station is equipped with a day and night sight.

[Other Systems]
FCLAS is comprised of a sensor and short range grenade launcher, loaded with special fragmentation grenades with delay fuses set to intercept the incoming threat at a range of approx. 5 meters from the protected vehicle. The actual initiation of the explosive charge is triggered by a side looking RF proximity fuse which senses the incoming projectile as it passes nearby. The explosion forms a vertical, doughnut shaped fragmentation effect that kills the passing threat but does not effect the protected vehicle. The system's target weight is 140 kg., to enable deployment on light vehicles. Each grenade is equipped with a forward looking radar mounted on the exposed tip of the grenade. Each of the FCLAS munitions has such an integrated radar, which forms a complete sensor, monitoring a protective hemisphere around and above the vehicle. The Army hopes to get a prototype system of FCLAS for testing in 2004 and an operational system, which could protect against RPG threats, deployed with Bradley, Stryker and Humvee

The Panzer XI also has a small CIWS system resembling a smaller Phalanx, however, using a seperate gaussian transmitter with a range of about two hundred meters to track incoming anti-tank guided and unguided missiles. The CIWS, or ACIWS, is automated and has a three hundred and sixty rotational view.

[Engine]
The Pzkmpf. XII Wolverine has a 1,400 horsepower diesel engine, giving it a maximum velocity of a theoritical ninety kilometers per hour on good road conditions, although actual combat operations would entail infinately smaller velocities.

It has a cruising range of five hundred and thirty-six kilometers, which exceeds the cruising range of the French LeClerc tank, currently the real life variation with the longest cruising range.

[Crew]
The Wolverine has a crew of three [3]. This includes the commander, driver and gunner.

Weight: 68 tons
Overall Height: n/a
Overall Length: n/a

[Cost]
Exportation costs are at 3.5 million USD

The Federal Republic of Bonstock Department of Defense is very interested in some of the items in this storefront, especially the Zealous class Super Dreadnought and the Naram-Sin Strategic Bomber. However, the FRBDOD's purchasing committee would like to ask if there are any pictures avaliable of those weapons. If those can be provided, we will no doubt place an order.

[NEWS]

The Kriegzimmer Conglomerate, and her subservient companies, wish to announce that the Ebro SPATS is on its way for release soon enough. Furthermore, the Ebro SPATS is to be the first anti-tank joint project, since it was a joint design by Doomingsland and Kriegzimmer.

Other designs coming are the Be-23 Archimede's Lever Heavy Tranport Aircraft, the Be-27 Apollo Transport Aircraft, the Be-27/B Gunship and the Be-27/C refueling aircraft. These are four new projects, amongst others, scheduled for release very soon!

[OOC: As for criticism, it's very welcomed. However, please do not critisize about the ability of the ship to do its job. That piece of information will dawn upon all of us when we first see the Argentine in combat. Any arguments would revolve around conceptions and naval doctrine, so please don't flare them.]

[Project Background]
Since the advent of the Super Dreadnought, navies around the world have attempted to design the response to the said ship, consequently creating kinetic penetrating missiles, deck attack missiles and the such. However, the fact remains that missile warfare has been lashed as a rather banal style of naval warfare, and that, especially with surface to air defenses, missiles will not give the results sought by so many.

Consequently, SafeHaven2 and The Macabees thought of the idea of a Super Dreadnought killing ship. Fortunately, the same idea was shared by Samtonia. However, the three nation project began to lag, and finally, the Golden Throne decided to complete the venture itself.

Nonetheless, although the tertiary layer was designed mostly by the Golden Throne, after that designed for the Zealous class Super Dreadnought, the rest of the design was done largely by Samtonia - indeed, the credit must go to him. The original armor design was child's play compared to the layering committed to by Samtonia's engineers.

The Galleon, which was a designation given to it by the Kriegsmarine due to the general lack of term for the type of ship, was based on the idea that if the Super Dreadnought lost its hangars, it's missile stocks and other extranous weaponry, it could base its ordnance solely on numerous, and large, naval guns. Consequently, it would engage enemy shipping with its naval guns, with a range that could exceed some anti-shipping missiles, effectively, and with a greater percentage of success. However, the same ship would be required to be escorted by one or more escort ships, or the Paramount class Air Defense Vessel [ADV], who's statistics could be found elsewhere, because of the general lack of defenses on the Argentine.

The Kriegsmarine has already ordered five Argentine class Galleons for its own use, however, this order is not expected to increase any time soon.

[Hull Construction and Armor]
The primary layer is designed to act as a layer for the ERA to sit on, and is a much lighter layer of armor. It's basically a revamped, and slightly different, CHOBHAM composite, formulated from steel, titaniun, ceramics and depleted uranium. However, it's much lighter than the tertiary layer of armor on the Galleon, although somewhat heavier than that found on a standard main battle tank. It's designed to take on light shells and light missiles, as well as light cannon fire, in the face of a possible design failure in the Kontack-5 ERA.

The secondary layer in the armor scheme is known as the SHMS armored scheme. The overriding compound used in the Argentine’s tertiary armor layer is steel, however, in order to reduce the effects of sulfur in steel, the steel is also laced with Manganese fibers. Manganese is a rather common element used extensively in steel manufacture. It is only mildly chemically active, but it has a great affinity for Sulfur, which it combines readily with, and it thus can be used to eliminate Sulfur from steel or to reduce the effects of any remaining Sulfur by chemically combining with it, which is important since Sulfur softens steel and is not desired in any construction or armor steel that I am familiar with, though it is used in many steels needing to be soft for ease of machining, as on a lathe (Phosphorus has a similar effect on increasing machineability and it can harden steel, but it raises the temperature where brittle failure sets in, so it is also reduced to a minimum in naval construction and armor steels, allowing Manganese to lower this temperature, as mentioned previously). It also acts to increase the hardenability of low-Carbon steel much better than Silicon (see above) does, but does not help keep the hardened metal hard during tempering as Silicon does, which is one of the major reasons that it and Silicon are used together as a team. Usually used in amounts of about 0.4% by weight in armor steels containing other hardeners such as Chromium, it is used in amounts of 0.6-1.1% (depending on plate thickness) in Mild/Medium Steels used for construction and up to 1.3% in high-strength construction steels, such as HTS and "D"-Steel.

Teamed up with Manganese are silicone fibers. Silicon is the next most widely used element with Iron after Carbon, found in almost all Iron materials used as armor or construction material. It is very plentiful, making up most of quartz beach sand, it is used by some microscopic plants and animals to build their protective shells, and it is used by people to make such things as glass and, more recently, micro-electronic circuits. It is relatively chemically inert, though it will chemically combine with Oxygen to form a very inert thin protective film that prevents any further reactions, and usually it is a good heat and electric insulator.

Third, Vanadium composites are woven around the steel compound in order to further strengthen the armor composite. Vanadium is a hardening alloy element in steel that is much stronger in its effects than either Chromium or Molybdenum (see above). Resists "metal fatigue" from repeated loading below the nominal yield strength, which can cause the metal to gradually stretch out of shape ("creep"), so it is widely used in springs in small amounts.

Fourth, titanium and depleted uranium threads are interwoven with the rest of the composite, adding final layers of strength. The titanium also works along with a polymer composite material in order to reduce the magnetic signature of the ship – although, this is not a primary goal of the armor. With the inclusion of titanium, depleted uranium, vanadium, manganese and silicone the actual rolled homogenous armor readings are much higher than what they are, especially since the entire armor scheme is laced around a polymer matrix, multiplying RHA strength even more!

The third layer is composed of a heat absorbing panelling. Composed of both aerogel compounds and a carbon-phenolic heat shield compound, this layer is capable of resisting temperatures above 4000 degrees Celsius. This layer is designed to both prevent any heat damage from warping the main armor layers and to stop any thermite based weapons from cutting through successive layers of armor.

Aerogels are advanced materials yet also are literally next to nothing. They consist of more than 96 percent air. The remaining four percent is a wispy matrix of silica (silicon dioxide), a principal raw material for glass. Aerogels, consequently, are one of the lightest weight solids ever conceived.

Made of inexpensive silica, aerogels can be fabricated in slabs, pellets, or most any shape desirable and have a range of potential uses. By mass or by volume, silica aerogels are the best solid insulator ever discovered. Aerogels transmit heat only one hundredth as well as normal density glass. Sandwiched between two layers of glass, transparent compositions of aerogels make possible double-pane windows with high thermal resistance. Aerogels alone, however, could not be used as windows because the foam-like material easily crumbles into powder. Even if they were not pulverized by the impact of a bird, after the first rain they would turn to sludge and ooze down the side of the house.

Aerogels are a more efficient, lighter-weight, and less bulky form of insulation than the polyurethane foam currently used to insulate refrigerators, refrigerated vehicles, and containers. And, they have another critical advantage over foam. Foams are blown into refrigerator walls by chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) propellants, the chemical that is the chief cause of the depletion of the earth's stratospheric ozone layer. The ozone layer shields life on Earth from ultraviolet light, a cause of human skin cancer. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 4.5 to 5 percent of the ozone shield over the United States was depleted over the last decade. Based on the current levels of ultraviolet exposure, the agency projects that more than 12 million Americans will develop skin cancer and more than 200,000 will die of the disease over the next 50 years.

Replacing chlorofluorocarbon-propelled refrigerant foams with aerogels could help reduce this toll. Exchanging refrigerant foams with aerogels reportedly would reduce CFC emissions in the U.S. by 16 million pounds per year.

Aside from their insulating properties, aerogels have other promising characteristics. Sound is impeded in its passage through an aerogel, slowed to a speed of 100 to 300 meters per second. This could be exploited in a number of ways, as for example, improving the accuracy and reducing the energy demand of the ultrasonic devices used to gauge distances in autofocus cameras and robotic systems. A layer of aerogel on a camera's ceramic piezoelectric transducer could considerably improve the efficiency with which it generates ultrasonic waves.

Aerogels also have a number of novel applications. Currently, they are components of Cerenkov radiation detectors used in high- energy physics research at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland. Another scientific application currently under consideration involves utilizing aerogels in space like a soft, spongy net to capture fast-moving micrometeroids without damaging them.

The fourth layer is an armored composite layer. A combination composite armor/kinetic absorbing rods layer, this entire layer is comprised of the main armor composite material with staggered lateral armored rods driven through it. The dissipation of energy provided by the rods and their warping of any kinetic projectiles to a degree any penetrative powers are lost provides the most protection against kinetic weapons of any armor level in the ship. If a KE weapon were to hit, it would follow the path of least resistance around the armored rods. The path given would cause it to slip around multiple rods, soon twisting the penetrator into a shape not capable of penetrating any further- generally a Z shape. This concept was taken and expanded upon from the Doujin class Super Dreadnought, which is currently employed by Samtonia.

The fifth layer is another heat absorbant panel. A second and last ditch heat shielding layer. Composed of both aerogel compounds and a carbon-phenolic heat shield compound, this layer is capable of resisting temperatures above 4000 degrees Celsius. This layer is designed to both prevent any heat damage from warping the honey-comb rods below it and to stop any thermite based weapons from cutting through the armor any more.

The sixth layer of the armor is a blast space. Designed to channel explosive force and gases away from essential areas and out of the ship. It is designed to lessen the impact of delayed fused weapons, with any explosion harmlessly damaging non-essential locker storage areas and storage tanks. While the ninth layer has been rated as a highly effective shrapnel absorbing layer. Lining the outsides of all bulkheads, this armor layer is designed to stop any shrapnel from breaking through and damaging essential equipment or personnel. It also acts as a light armor in the event a projectile makes it that far through the ship.

The bulkheads are made of same composite as the Kinetic Absorbing Layer in order to combine flexibility, weight and performance together. These bulkheads are designed to allow explosions to vent their way outside the ship while protecting the interiors of the ship.

The final honeycomb framework literally holds the ship up and together. A network of armored and reeinforced rods, supporting beams, and a unique (well, not for NS) "honeycomb" design that provides a sound support, both structurally and integrally, for the rest of the ship. This portion of the ship is the most time intensive to build, with this framework actually built around the keel before any of the rest of the ship is laid across its skeleton. Though this step contributes to much of the slow building time, it allows the ship to both absorb damage far above the amounts its RHA values would suggest and give it the support necessary to handle the wegiht of the armor scheme and araments.

Finally, the framework connectors connect the framework, armor, and bulkheads together. It has been rated as very strong, they prevent the ship's interior from warping or cracking when strained.

The main armor is designed around an original catamaran design, however, the overall ship is forged through a trimaran hull design. The outer hull, consequently, is armored with a main belt of one thousand millimeters [1,000mm - 39.370079 in.]. According to British sources, trimarans are more resistant to damage; far more resistant. One missile or torpedo will usually disable a modern cruiser, destroyer, or frigate. However, a well-designed trimaran warship can withstand a dozen hits and keep fighting.

The belt armor has a literal reading of one thousand two hundred and seventy millimeters [1,370mm – 53 in.], while the turret faceplates yield one thousand three hundred millimeters [1,437mm - 58 in.]. The main turrets boast an armored reading of one thousand millimeters [1,050mm - 41 in.] while the secondary turrets yield nine hundred millimeters [980mm - 39 in.] and the deck armor is layered with eight hundred and fifty millimeters [870mm - 34 in.]. The superstructure yields another eight hundred and fifty millimeters [850mm - 33.464567 in.], while the bulkheads have nine hundred and fifty millimeters worth of the composite armor [950mm - 37.401575 in.]. Actual RHA readings are much, much higher than this – although, they are either extremely classified, or truthfully unknown.

[Armament]
The Argentine class Galleon is armed with eight triple mounts of twenty-five [25] inch ETC guns. There are four mounts on each half of the ship, giving the ship a total of twenty-four twenty-five inch guns. Secondary guns include two quadruple mounts of eighteen [18] inch ETC guns, both mounted at the front of the ship, stacked. Near the center of the ship there are four double mounts of twelve [12] inch rail guns.

The ship is mainly to be stocked with the newer rail gun depleted uranium SABOT rounds.

http://www.rit.edu/~dih0658/images/railsabot.gif

For more direct combat, there are four double mounts of twelve inch ETC guns. Electrothermal-Chemical (ETC) technology is an advanced gun propulsion candidate that can substantially increase gun performance with less system burden than any other advanced gun propulsion technology. It has been under development since the mid-1980s.

ETC uses electrical energy to augment and control the release of chemical energy from existing or new propellants, and can significantly improve the performance of existing conventional cannons, both direct fire and indirect fire. The electrical energy is used to create a high-temperature plasma, which in turn both ignites the propellants and controls the release of the chemical energy stored in the propellants during the ballistic cycle.

All, ETC guns are fitted with electro-magnetic (EM) rifleling, giving it a much faster propulsion, although not as expensive and "iffy" as rail guns.

The Argentine class Galleon also has twelve of the brand new Conhort Close-in Weapons Systems. The Conhort uses a variant of the GAU-8 Avenger cannon. The GAU-8 itself weighs 281 kg (620 lb), but the complete weapon, with feed system and drum, weighs 4,029 lb (1,830 kg) with a maximum ammunition load. The entire system is 19 ft 10.5 in (5.05 m) long. The magazine can hold 1,350 rounds, although 1,174 is the more normal load-out. Muzzle velocity with armor-piercing incendiary (API) ammunition is 3,250 ft/s (988 m/s), almost the same as the substantially lighter M61 Vulcan.

The Conhort's system consists of an autocannon and an advanced radar which tracks incoming fire, determines its trajectory, then aims the gun and fires in a matter of seconds. The system is fully automatic, needing no human input once activated. The kinetic energy of the 30mm rounds is sufficient to destroy any missile or shell. The system can also be deployed to protect airfields. However, like the Dutch Goalkeeper and the American Phalanx the Conhort is a last-chance weapon, although considerably accurate. It uses a seperate, smaller, LIDAR Gaussian Transmitter and RADAR tranmitter in order to lock on potential targets and blow them out of the air. Several advantages the Cohort has over the Phalanx system are that it is more accurate, it has a greater kenitic energy impact, more tracking, it's reloaded under the deck, and it can operate under three modes: Auto, Semi-Auto and Manual allowing full operator operability.

Finally, the Argentine class Galleon is defended under the waterline by a series of twelve ASHUM guns. The ASHUM guns consists of extremely rapid, and extremely accurate, fire, guided by SONAR and blue-green LIDAR, using depleted uranium bullets and an elastomer propellant. In past operations, the ASHUM guns, coupled with the MAT-1 anti-torpedoes fired from ASROC cannons, have proved to be valuable to defend the lifeline of the ship.

[Sensor Electronics]
The Argentine has an onboard SONAR array, capable of searching through the mixed layer. However, for under the layer searches it also has the TB-2016, used in the Macabee Leviathan class SSN, which is rolled from a seperate compartment, and is long enough to sit right on the deep sound channel axis, giving the SONAR a full read, leaving no shadow zone. The power of the Macabee SONAR systems has been applauded before, and the Elusive is a testament to it.

The Argentine is also given the same SONAR system which the Rommel was equipped with. The Poseidon SONAR system, which is capable of detecting louder shipping at up to one hundred kilometers away at the right circumstances, and advanced submarines at a maximum range of ten kilometers, burning through anechoic tiling quite easily. The Poseidon is considered one of the better SONAR systems used presently. The Poseidon is also programmed to detect the “black hole” effect which submarines using MHD have; making it easier to detect MHD propelled submarines.

The Argentine also has a new thin line towed array called the TB-163, which is three times as long as the Argentine itself, using thousands of hydrophones to detect submarine presence at up to forty kilometers away (ca. 28 miles). The TB-163 uses a strong steel line to ensure that it doesn’t snap, although this could be potentially dangerous to the crew if its used stupidly. The Zealous also has another towed array called the TB-87 which focuses on shorter distances, using powerful hydrophones to detect close enemies.

Macabee ships use the MRT-1 RADAR system to detect enemy aerial assets anywhere from 120 kilometers minimum to 700 kilometers maximum; depending on the circumstances, stealth levels, and altitude. The MRT-1 use a very powerful super computer and several screens to detect, filter, and portray enemy aerial assets. Based of the TENEX SPY-6 this well built system is, again, one of the better ones in use around the world, and provide the Macabees with a reliable early warning system.

Additionally, Macabee ships integrate the MRT-4 Surface Search RADAR system which was built to focus on sea-skimmers. RADAR radio waves are able to catch both missiles and other objects, such as waves, and filter what is a wave, and what is a missile; and quite easily, and through regular technology. Simply, by using a supercomputer and C based program, the computers can detect range, vector, and velocity – hence, it can distinguish what is a missile or aircraft, and what isn’t. A wave doesn’t last at the same altitude, velocity and vector for ever – the wave falls short quite quickly – while a missile lasts in the air for quite a while (of course). Hence, it wasn’t too difficult to design a system capable of picking sea-skimmers up. The range of the MRT-4, however, is considerably shorter, about a hundred nautical miles.

Finally, the Macabee ships include an MLT-1 LIDAR system which as a range of about 250 kilometers (165 miles). The MLT-1 uses regular LIDAR to detect range, Doppler LIDAR to detect velocity, and DIAL LIDAR to detect chemical composition. The newer Gaussian LIDAR system used by Macabee ships has two charged plates placed parallel to each other, one charged negative, the other positive. This in turn begins an electrical current. The Gaussian system doesn't work on reflected waves. Instead, it relies on electrical impulses, rendering current anti-LIDAR techniques inefficient and obsolete.

The Argentine is also equipped with a SODAR array. Sodar (sonic detection and ranging) systems are used to remotely measure the vertical turbulence structure and the wind profile of the lower layer of the atmosphere. Sodar systems are like radar (radio detection and ranging) systems except that sound waves rather than radio waves are used for detection. Other names used for sodar systems include sounder, echosounder and acoustic radar. A more familiar related term may be sonar, which stands for sound navigation ranging. Sonar systems detect the presence and location of objects submerged in water (e.g., submarines) by means of sonic waves reflected back to the source. Sodar systems are similar except the medium is air instead of water and reflection is due to the scattering of sound by atmospheric turbulence.

Most sodar systems operate by issuing an acoustic pulse and then listen for the return signal for a short period of time. Generally, both the intensity and the Doppler (frequency) shift of the return signal are analyzed to determine the wind speed, wind direction and turbulent character of the atmosphere.

[EMP Hardening]
There are two things to consider when considering hardening targets against EMP. The first question to answer is whether the hardened system will become useless if shielded. The second question to be answered is whether the target is economically worthwhile to harden. The answers to these two questions are used to determine what devices should be shielded

To explain the first consideration, Makoff and Tsipis give the following simple example. If there was a communication plane with many antennas used to collect and transfer data, it would not be useful if its antennas were removed. However, to harden the plane, the antennas would need to be removed because they provide a direct path to the interior of the plane. It is important to understand how the hardening will affect the performance of the hardened item.

The second consideration is very easy to understand. Some systems, although important, may not seem worthwhile enough to harden due to the high costs of shielding. "It may cost from 30% to 50% of the cost of a ground based communication center…just to refit it to withstand EMP," and, "as high as 10% of the cost for each plane."

There are two basic ways to harden items against EMP effects.20 The first method is metallic shielding. The alternative is tailored hardening. Both methods will be briefly described.

Metallic shielding is used to, "Exclude energy propagated through fields in space." Shields are made of a continuous piece of some metal such as steel or copper. A metal enclosure generally does not fully shield the interior because of the small holes that are likely to exist. Therefore, this type of shielding often contains additional elements to create the barrier. Commonly, only a fraction of a millimeter of a metal is needed to supply adequate protection. This shield must completely surround the item to be shielded. A tight box must be formed to create the shield. The cost of such shielding (in1986 dollars) is $1000 per square meter for a welded-steel shield after installation.

The alternative method, tailored hardening, is a more cost-effective way of hardening. In this method, only the most vulnerable elements and circuits are redesigned to be more rugged. The more rugged elements will be able to withstand much higher currents. However, a committee of the National Academy of Sciences is skeptical of this method due to unpredictable failures in testing. Also, the use of this method is not recommended by the National Research Council. They doubted whether the approximations made to evaluate susceptibilities of the components were accurate. They did concede that tailored hardening may be useful to make existing systems less vulnerable.

[Propulsion]
The Argentine class Super Dreadnought is driven by ten Baldur pebble bed nuclear reactors. The Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is a new type of high temperature helium gas-cooled nuclear reactor, which builds and advances on world-wide nuclear operators' experience of older reactor designs. The most remarkable feature of these reactors is that they use attributes inherent in and natural to the processes of nuclear energy generation to enhance safety features. More importantly, it is also a practical and cost-effective solution to most of the logistics of generating electricity.

http://www.eskom.co.za/nuclear_energy/pebble_bed/image1_2.gif

To protect the reactor there are several infra-red detection devices around the uranium core, and at a note from a pressure sensor, either made by water or a man made collision, the Baldur nuclear reactor is automatically shut off, save for the coolant flow.

http://www.eskom.co.za/nuclear_energy/pebble_bed/coated_part.gif

The nature of the chain reaction that takes place in the PBMR is exactly the same as the one that takes place at Koeberg. (Refer to Koeberg experience - Fuel )

The fuel used in a PBMR consists of "spheres" which are designed in such a way that they contain their radioactivity. The PBMR fuel is based on proven high quality fuel used in Germany.

Each sphere is about the size of a tennis ball and consists of an outer graphite matrix (covering) and an inner fuel zone The fuel zone of a single sphere can contain up to 15 000 "particles". Each particle is coated with a special barrier coating, which ensures that radioactivity is kept locked inside the particle. One of the barriers,the silicon carbide barrier, is so dense that no gaseous or metallic radioactive products can escape. (it retains its density up to temperatures of over 1 700 degrees Celsius). The reactor is loaded with over 440 000 spheres - three quarters of which are fuel spheres and one quarter graphite spheres - at any one time. Fuel spheres are continually being added to the core from the top and removed from the bottom. The removed spheres are measured to see if all the uranium has been used. If it has, the sphere is sent to the spent fuel storage system, and if not, it is reloaded in the core. An average fuel sphere will pass through the core about 10 times before being discharged. the graphite spheres are always re-used. The graphite spheres are used as a moderator. They absorb and reduce the energy of the neutrons so that these can reach the right energy level needed to sustain the chain reaction.

The Baldur nuclear reactors are hooked up to a conducting system, which in turn power a series of Louis-Alice Power Supplies, which then go through a series of thousands of capacitors, and then again through another motor-generator, and finally to their respective water jets and maneuvering pods. There are eight water jets on the outer hulls, and four in the inner hulls. The Argentine class galleon also boasts six maneuvering jets, three on each side.

There are also two, smaller, back-up nuclear reactors in case of failure of the ten Baldur pebbledbed nuclear reactors. The two back-ups, albeit smaller, follow the same technological procedure as the main reactors.

[Crew]
The Argentine’s naval crew complement consists of seven thousand two hundred and thirty-six non-officers, NCOs, junior officers and general officers.

Just as important, however, is the fact that each Argentine class Galleon can carry up to ten thousand infantry, and also holds six hovercraft landing craft for amphibious operations – although all of this is only included in case of a planned amphibious operation.

[BDU-64 Samson Battle Suit]

http://radio.weblogs.com/0121541/images/2005/02/14/killzone.jpg
http://www.spiderman.no/media%5Ckillzone%5Ckill2.JPG

[Abstract]
The Empire has never been a fan of battlesuits, but with the advent of New Empire's new M193 Orc Powered Battledress, and the already existant battle suits under the employment of Nanosoft and Greater Deustchland, it became largely imperative that the Empire also began its own research and design in the area. Consequently, around the year 2011 Jonach I placed two trillion Reichmarks into the research into a project dubbed Samson.

The end product was the BDU-64 , codenamed Samson after the project title. It incorporates some of the best technology yet developed by scientist around the world, making amongst one of the best battle suits in the field.

The Empire is expected to order enough for its mechanized infantry, although perhaps not for the standard infantry until far later. Production is expected to begin at five hundred thousand suits a month, and maximize at two million per month in about eight months, although said activity will require much money into the expansion of the current industry, although there is room for said expansion.

Regardless, the Samson is expected to have much success on the field of battle, for any country, and is a highly suggested piece of material for any importer of military hardware to consider.

[[b]Armor]
The core of the armor relies on a new type of armor called Dragon Skin [SOV-2000], developed by Pinnacle Armor. The SOV-2000 will defeat a 7.62 x 39mm round travelling at up to two thousand seven hundred feet per second. Moreover, it is the only armor only with level III ballistic charactiristics that is flexible enough to wrap around the whole torso area that "move when you move". No more restricted movements when rappelling, fast roping, diving, entry work, sky diving or other rigorous activities. The concept is very similar to that of the suit of armor on a knight - although protective, it did not really restrict movement or speed. The thickness of the layer of Dragon Skin varies from .796" to .858" from place to place. It is also quite light, being one of the lightest body armor in existance.

The armor also includes a layering of liquid body armor, which has been proven to block stabs, as well as shrapnel and low intensity bullets. The liquid body armor would be applied to reinforce the strength of the Dragon Skin, as well as be used in locations not covered by the Dragon Skin because the suit needs to stay flexible. It works through hard particles suspended in a liquid, or polyethylene glycol. At low strain rates, the particles flow with the fluid, enabling clothing to stay flexible. But when heavily strained, the particles become rigid. The transition happens very quickly, a millisecond or quicker.

The battlesuit also uses the concept of an exo-skeleton, although not the range of other battlesuits. The exoskeleton reverted to has been that sold throughout Japan for civilian use. It's designed to be able to allow the human body to do much more than it could do, such as carry heavier loads and weapons - in effect, the battle suit.

Finally, there is an overarching attempt to provide adaptive camouflage. The basic overall function of an adaptive camouflage system would be to project, on the near side of an object, the scene from the far side of the object. A typical adaptive camouflage system would likely include a network of flexible electronic flat-panel display units arrayed in the form of a blanket that would cover all observable surfaces of an object that one seeks to cloak. Each display panel would contain an active-pixel sensor (APS) [or possibly another advanced image sensor] that would look outward from the panel through an aperture that would occupy only a small fraction of the area of the panel.

The blanket would also contain a wiring harness that would include a cross-connected fiber-optic network, through which the image from each APS would be transferred to a complementary display panel on the opposite side of the cloaked object.

The positions and orientations of all the image sensors would be slaved to the position and orientation of one image sensor that would be designated a master imager. The orientations would be determined by a levelling instrument sensed by the master imager. A central controller connected to an external light meter would automatically adjust the brightness levels of all the display panels to make them conform to the to ambient lighting conditions.

The underside of the cloaked object would be illuminated artificially so that the display from the top of the cloaked object would show the ground as though in ambient light; if this were not done, then an obvious shadow-induced discontinuity would be seen by an observer looking down from above.

The display panels could be sized and configured so that a common inventory of such panels could be used to cloak a variety of objects, without need to modify the objects. Sizes and weights of representative adaptive camouflage systems and subsystems have been estimated: The volume of a typical image sensor would be less than about 1 in.3 ( 16 cm3).

[Power]
The Samson is powered through a motor generator running through two hydrogen fuel cell stacks, weighing just about fifteen pounds. The fuel stacks are wired throughout the suit using ultra light weight ceramic super conductors, providing the suit with a zero percent energy transfer loss in heat and friction, making the power one hundred percent effective.

The suit is expected to have a life of twenty-four hours before the fuel stacks have to be refueled. This comes through the effectiveness of power distribution and the fact that not much power is needed for each operation, especially since soldiers do not always need to use combat operation battle suits.

In order to refuel the combatsuit it has to be fully disengaged from the body of the soldier.

[Systems]
For basic manuevering operations the Samson uses a central computing system in the armored pack, provided on the soldier's back. It's adress bus and CPU provide the orders, much like the brain of a human, for the movement of the battledress. Furthermore, neural inserts allow the human brain and the computer to 'intertwine', which means that the suit is commanded by the human brain.

The helmet includes a HUD system, which provides the user with targetting information, including wind velocity and such, making shots much more accurate and much faster. Moreover, it also decreases from friendly fire as the battle suit incorporates the IFF technology. A small transponder on the inside part of the right leg of the soldier provides a signal from suit to suit, which is changed every day for security purposes, and in that method a soldier can tell friendly from foe in a matter of microseconds.

The central CPU also commands, although not through the human brain, a liquid nitrogen injector to cool the suit at all times. In case the injectors fail at any time there are ten small fans distributed around the suit to provide for emergency cooling, giving the soldier the time to turn off the suit, disengage from it, and turn it in for maintenance.

[NBC Protection]
Nuclear/Biologica/Chemical protection comes in the form of the face mask, which provides general and simple NBC protection measures, as well as overpressure charactiristics within the battlesuit. Moreover, there is individual cooling using air-cooled overalls or vests, underneath the battle suit. The air-conditioners are designed to provide optimal cooling performance in worldwide operational conditions in accordance with NATO STANAG 2895 requirements.

[Paramount class Air Defense Vessel [ADV]]

http://img261.echo.cx/my.php?image=supportvessel4gn.jpg

[Concept]
With the release of the Argentine class Galleon, which had no surface to air missile batterie defense systems, the Paramount class Air Defense Vessel [ADV] was in dire demand, since it would act as a air defense ship for the Galleon. Consequently, engineers from SafeHaven2, Samtonia and the Golden Throne were quick to re-unite, after releasing the Argentine, and design the Paramount - the support vessel to the Galleon.

[Armament]
Because there's no need for main guns the Paramount class ADV can focus entirely on surface to air weapons, including weapon batteries and heavy anti-air artillery batteries. Consequently, it's the master of air defense, providing dozens of means of defeating enemy aerial attacks on the fleet, and especially against the Argentine.

It's prime defense is composed of a series of twenty Praetorian surface to air missiles [SAM] batteries, now outlayed with the Praetorian V surface to air missile. The Praetorian uses an electric/chemical propellant system to fire the Praetorian V. The Praetorian V uses a conventional fuel booster to get to the mininum height requirement for its SCRAMjet booster. Furthermore, the Praetorian battery system carries ten missiles per battery, and has the ability to release all ten missiles within eight seconds.

There is another Praetorian system laid down alongside those destined to fire Praetorian Vs. The next system is outlaid with a full force of ten Praetorian batteries, this time given the brand new Praetorian VI surface to air missile. The Praetorian VI surface to air missile is a short range missile, designed for surface search operations [look up the Praetorian VI for a complete set of statistics].

The Praetorian SAM system incorporates the MLT-1 LIDAR system onboard each Paramount class ADV, which as a range of about 165 miles (or about 300kms). The MLT-1 LIDAR system uses normal LIDAR, which uses a laser to detect the range of the target, as well as Doppler LIDAR which is used to detect the velocity of the target. DIAL is also used to detect chemical composition of the target. The Praetorians are also hooked up to the MRT-1/N RADAR system used by Macabee Naval vessels. The MRT-1 is based off the TENEX SPY-6 RADAR system, however uses a larger power box, as well as a larger computer network to catch enemy flyers at 700kms. However, the MRT-1 is restricted to altitude of over thirty meters in height (around 100 miles), and for lower altitudes (100 miles to 1,000 miles) is severely restricted in range. The MRT-4 RADAR system is used for sea-skimming missiles, or low flying aircraft. It uses radio waves to track below the minimum range of the MRT-1. The advantages in having two systems do what one could do are that now we have specialization of jobs, and the MRT-4 can focus on one thing, while the MRT-1 focuses on another. To support this massive computer system the CPU uses ln2 coolant to over clock a twenty gigahertz system to thirty gigahertz.

The actual Praetorian V and VI has its own CPU installed on the backside of the missile, above the scramjet or conventional engine, and it uses its own MLT-2 LIDAR system, which has a range of two kilometers, and is used for final phase target location purposes. The Praetorian V missile uses the computers to still use the ship based MRT-1, MRT-4 and the MLT-1 systems. This provides a very accurate and effective surface to air missile system. The Praetorian V can be used as an anti-missile, as well as an anti-air SAM.

The Praetorian system uses an advanced reload system using hydraulic propulsion to lift the missile out of stock racks and push into the barrel of the Praetorian V launch platforms. Each Paramount class ADV is outfitted with five thousand Praetorian V missiles in stocks, giving each SAM one hundred Praetorian V missiles, useful for five volleys each SAM. There are also two thousand Praetorian VI missiles on stock.

There are also a total of fifty 70mm anti-air artillery guns thrown throughout the ship. Directed through the ship's sensory equipment they are fully automatic and act as CIWS, with an extended range, consequently, dubbed ERWS [Extended Range Weapon System]. The range of the 70mm guns is a full fifty kilometers at low altitudes, and two hundred meters to thirty kilometers at higher altitudes. The type of round fired is called the DMS round [Disintigrating MetalStorm round], designed after both Metal Storm and DREAD.

http://img100.echo.cx/img100/2673/frag12projectile14jd.jpg

The round uses the outer casing, which is designed like a SABOT's, which means it disintigrates in midair, although the disintigration pattern is timed and cued, it's not done automatically. During the disintigration pattern the inside of the round begins to spin like a cintrifuge, like the DREAD, and it sends out thousands of miniature balls of depleted uranium in all directions. Unlike MetalStorm and DREAD it is not unreliable because it only has a one time use, and it is relatively cheap, much cheaper than a SAM, with a higher percentage to kill not only one missile, but a multitude of missiles if they're flying close.

The Paramount class ADV also has twelve of the brand new Conhort Close-in Weapons Systems. The Conhort uses a variant of the GAU-8 Avenger cannon. The GAU-8 itself weighs 281 kg (620 lb), but the complete weapon, with feed system and drum, weighs 4,029 lb (1,830 kg) with a maximum ammunition load. The entire system is 19 ft 10.5 in (5.05 m) long. The magazine can hold 1,350 rounds, although 1,174 is the more normal load-out. Muzzle velocity with armor-piercing incendiary (API) ammunition is 3,250 ft/s (988 m/s), almost the same as the substantially lighter M61 Vulcan.

The Conhort's system consists of an autocannon and an advanced radar which tracks incoming fire, determines its trajectory, then aims the gun and fires in a matter of seconds. The system is fully automatic, needing no human input once activated. The kinetic energy of the 30mm rounds is sufficient to destroy any missile or shell. The system can also be deployed to protect airfields. However, like the Dutch Goalkeeper and the American Phalanx the Conhort is a last-chance weapon, although considerably accurate. It uses a seperate, smaller, LIDAR Gaussian Transmitter and RADAR tranmitter in order to lock on potential targets and blow them out of the air. Several advantages the Cohort has over the Phalanx system are that it is more accurate, it has a greater kenitic energy impact, more tracking, it's reloaded under the deck, and it can operate under three modes: Auto, Semi-Auto and Manual allowing full operator operability.

Finally, the Paramount class ADV is defended under the waterline by a series of twelve ASHUM guns. The ASHUM guns consists of extremely rapid, and extremely accurate, fire, guided by SONAR and blue-green LIDAR, using depleted uranium bullets and an elastomer propellant. In past operations, the ASHUM guns, coupled with the MAT-1 anti-torpedoes fired from ASROC cannons, have proved to be valuable to defend the lifeline of the ship.

[Sensory Equipment]
Macabee ships use the MRT-1 RADAR system to detect enemy aerial assets anywhere from 120 kilometers minimum to 700 kilometers maximum; depending on the circumstances, stealth levels, and altitude. The MRT-1 use a very powerful super computer and several screens to detect, filter, and portray enemy aerial assets. Based of the TENEX SPY-6 this well built system is, again, one of the better ones in use around the world, and provide the Macabees with a reliable early warning system.

Additionally, Macabee ships integrate the MRT-4 Surface Search RADAR system which was built to focus on sea-skimmers. RADAR radio waves are able to catch both missiles and other objects, such as waves, and filter what is a wave, and what is a missile; and quite easily, and through regular technology. Simply, by using a supercomputer and C based program, the computers can detect range, vector, and velocity – hence, it can distinguish what is a missile or aircraft, and what isn’t. A wave doesn’t last at the same altitude, velocity and vector for ever – the wave falls short quite quickly – while a missile lasts in the air for quite a while (of course). Hence, it wasn’t too difficult to design a system capable of picking sea-skimmers up. The range of the MRT-4, however, is considerably shorter, about a hundred nautical miles.

Finally, the Macabee ships include an MLT-1 LIDAR system which as a range of about 250 kilometers (165 miles). The MLT-1 uses regular LIDAR to detect range, Doppler LIDAR to detect velocity, and DIAL LIDAR to detect chemical composition. The newer Gaussian LIDAR system used by Macabee ships has two charged plates placed parallel to each other, one charged negative, the other positive. This in turn begins an electrical current. The Gaussian system doesn't work on reflected waves. Instead, it relies on electrical impulses, rendering current anti-LIDAR techniques inefficient and obsolete.

The Paramount also boasts a SODAR array. Sodar (sonic detection and ranging) systems are used to remotely measure the vertical turbulence structure and the wind profile of the lower layer of the atmosphere. Sodar systems are like radar (radio detection and ranging) systems except that sound waves rather than radio waves are used for detection. Other names used for sodar systems include sounder, echosounder and acoustic radar. A more familiar related term may be sonar, which stands for sound navigation ranging. Sonar systems detect the presence and location of objects submerged in water (e.g., submarines) by means of sonic waves reflected back to the source. Sodar systems are similar except the medium is air instead of water and reflection is due to the scattering of sound by atmospheric turbulence.

Most sodar systems operate by issuing an acoustic pulse and then listen for the return signal for a short period of time. Generally, both the intensity and the Doppler (frequency) shift of the return signal are analyzed to determine the wind speed, wind direction and turbulent character of the atmosphere.

[EMP Hardening]
There are two things to consider when considering hardening targets against EMP. The first question to answer is whether the hardened system will become useless if shielded. The second question to be answered is whether the target is economically worthwhile to harden. The answers to these two questions are used to determine what devices should be shielded

To explain the first consideration, Makoff and Tsipis give the following simple example. If there was a communication plane with many antennas used to collect and transfer data, it would not be useful if its antennas were removed. However, to harden the plane, the antennas would need to be removed because they provide a direct path to the interior of the plane. It is important to understand how the hardening will affect the performance of the hardened item.

The second consideration is very easy to understand. Some systems, although important, may not seem worthwhile enough to harden due to the high costs of shielding. "It may cost from 30% to 50% of the cost of a ground based communication center…just to refit it to withstand EMP," and, "as high as 10% of the cost for each plane."

There are two basic ways to harden items against EMP effects.20 The first method is metallic shielding. The alternative is tailored hardening. Both methods will be briefly described.

Metallic shielding is used to, "Exclude energy propagated through fields in space." Shields are made of a continuous piece of some metal such as steel or copper. A metal enclosure generally does not fully shield the interior because of the small holes that are likely to exist. Therefore, this type of shielding often contains additional elements to create the barrier. Commonly, only a fraction of a millimeter of a metal is needed to supply adequate protection. This shield must completely surround the item to be shielded. A tight box must be formed to create the shield. The cost of such shielding (in1986 dollars) is $1000 per square meter for a welded-steel shield after installation.

The alternative method, tailored hardening, is a more cost-effective way of hardening. In this method, only the most vulnerable elements and circuits are redesigned to be more rugged. The more rugged elements will be able to withstand much higher currents. However, a committee of the National Academy of Sciences is skeptical of this method due to unpredictable failures in testing. Also, the use of this method is not recommended by the National Research Council. They doubted whether the approximations made to evaluate susceptibilities of the components were accurate. They did concede that tailored hardening may be useful to make existing systems less vulnerable.

[Propulsion]
The Paramount class ADV is driven by one Baldur pebble bed nuclear reactor. The Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is a new type of high temperature helium gas-cooled nuclear reactor, which builds and advances on world-wide nuclear operators' experience of older reactor designs. The most remarkable feature of these reactors is that they use attributes inherent in and natural to the processes of nuclear energy generation to enhance safety features. More importantly, it is also a practical and cost-effective solution to most of the logistics of generating electricity.

http://www.eskom.co.za/nuclear_energy/pebble_bed/image1_2.gif

To protect the reactor there are several infra-red detection devices around the uranium core, and at a note from a pressure sensor, either made by water or a man made collision, the Baldur nuclear reactor is automatically shut off, save for the coolant flow.

http://www.eskom.co.za/nuclear_energy/pebble_bed/coated_part.gif

The nature of the chain reaction that takes place in the PBMR is exactly the same as the one that takes place at Koeberg. (Refer to Koeberg experience - Fuel )

The fuel used in a PBMR consists of "spheres" which are designed in such a way that they contain their radioactivity. The PBMR fuel is based on proven high quality fuel used in Germany.

Each sphere is about the size of a tennis ball and consists of an outer graphite matrix (covering) and an inner fuel zone The fuel zone of a single sphere can contain up to 15 000 "particles". Each particle is coated with a special barrier coating, which ensures that radioactivity is kept locked inside the particle. One of the barriers,the silicon carbide barrier, is so dense that no gaseous or metallic radioactive products can escape. (it retains its density up to temperatures of over 1 700 degrees Celsius). The reactor is loaded with over 440 000 spheres - three quarters of which are fuel spheres and one quarter graphite spheres - at any one time. Fuel spheres are continually being added to the core from the top and removed from the bottom. The removed spheres are measured to see if all the uranium has been used. If it has, the sphere is sent to the spent fuel storage system, and if not, it is reloaded in the core. An average fuel sphere will pass through the core about 10 times before being discharged. the graphite spheres are always re-used. The graphite spheres are used as a moderator. They absorb and reduce the energy of the neutrons so that these can reach the right energy level needed to sustain the chain reaction.

The Baldur nuclear reactors are hooked up to a conducting system, which in turn power a series of Louis-Alice Power Supplies, which then go through a series of thousands of capacitors, and then again through another motor-generator, and finally to their respective water jets and maneuvering pods. There are eight water jets on the outer hulls, and four in the inner hulls. The Paramount has two manuevrering water jets, one on each side, for quick turns.

Progress on the Ebro SPATS has stalled since the cesation of talks with Doomingsland, due to time reasons. However, it is expected to come back on track soon enough.

Transport design will be released soon enough, and that will most likely be the end of Kriegzimmer design until it's return from vacation.

[Be-23 Archimede's Lever Heavy Tranport Aircraft]


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ec/Buran_AN-225.jpg


[Mission]
The Be-23, codenamed Archimede's Lever, is designed to be a replacement aircraft to the C-5 Galaxy. Consequently, it is also very similar, although there are some essential different charactaristics, due to the reasoning of construction. However, it should fit all roles, just like the C-5 Galaxy just fine, and perhaps even better, due to stealth charactaristics and such.

The Be-23 is a heavy logistics military transport aircraft designed to provide world-wide massive strategic airlift. This air fleet can provide delivery of palletized, oversized and outsized cargo, as well as passengers or combat-ready troops, anywhere in the world on short notice. The aircraft can takeoff and land in relatively short distances and taxi on substandard surfaces during emergency operations. The Be-23 also plays a heavy role in the airdrop and special operations arenas.

The Be-23 is currently the only heavy transport in service of the Empire, and is to compliment the Be-27 Apollo Transport Aircraft, which is to not as heavy. The duo are to provide the Luftwaffe with the transport edge needed for aerially supported combat, especially in nations such as Guadalombia, and other 'brush fire' wars.

Using the front and rear cargo openings, the Be-23 can be loaded and off-loaded at the same time. Both nose and rear doors open the full width and height of the cargo compartment, allowing drive-through loading and unloading of wheeled and tracked vehicles, and faster, easier loading of bulky equipment. A "kneeling" landing gear system lowers the aircraft's cargo floor to truck-bed height. The entire cargo floor has a roller system for rapid handling of palletized equipment. Thirty-six fully loaded pallets can be loaded aboard in about 90 minutes.

The Be-23's weight is distributed on its high flotation landing gear, which has thirty wheels. The landing gear system can raise each set of wheels individually for simplified tire changes or brake maintenance. Or, it can raise it all at once, for simple landing and take off procedures.

An automatic trouble-shooting system constantly monitors more than 800 test points in the various subsystems of the Be-23 The Malfunction Detection Analysis and Recording System uses a digital computer to identify malfunctions in replaceable units. Failure and trend information is recorded on magnetic tape for analysis.

Six turbofan engines mounted on pylons under the wings power the Archimedes. Each engine pod is nearly 27 feet (8.2 meters) long, weighs 7,900 pounds (3,555 kilograms) and has an air intake diameter of more than 8 1/2 feet (2.6 meters). The Be-23 has 12 integral wing tanks with a capacity of 51,150 gallons (194,370 liters) of fuel - enough to fill 6 1/2 regular-size railroad tank cars. The fuel weighs 322,500 pounds (145,125 kilograms) and permits the Be-23, carrying a 204,904-pound (92,207-kilogram) payload, to fly 2,150 nautical miles (3,440 kilometers), off-load, and fly another 500 miles (800 kilometers) without aerial refueling.

Features resembling the C-5 include the forward cargo door (visor) and ramp and the aft cargo door system and ramp. These features allow drive-on/drive-off loading and unloading as well as loading and unloading from either end of the cargo compartment. The Be-23’s kneeling capability also facilitates and expedites these operations by lowering the cargo com-partment floor by about 10 feet to 3 feet off the ground. This position lowers cargo ramps for truck bed and ground loading and reduces ramp angles for loading and unloading vehicles. The Be-23'sfloor does not have treadways. The “floor-bearing pressure” is the same over the entire floor. The Be-23 can carry up to thirty-six 463L pallets. The troop compartment is located in the aircraft’s upper deck. It is self-contained with a galley, two lavatories, and 73 available passenger seats (CB at FS 1675). Another 267 airline seats may be installed on the cargo compartment floor (maximum combined total of 329 troops including air crew over water).

The electrical system has four engine-driven generators, each powerful enough to supply the aircraft sufficient electricity. Each of the two main landing gear pods carries an auxiliary power unit to supply electric and pneumatic power for engine starts and ground air conditioning, heating, cooling and ventilation. Air turbine motors in the landing gear pods also can power the hydraulic systems and the main landing gear kneeling motors.

[Airframe]
The airframe of the Be-23 is a composite material made of an Aluminum based superalloy, NiAl, also a third generation crystal superalloy, as well as titanium, cobalt, Iron, interlaced tungsten and a Zirconium and hafnium alloy. There are seventy-six titanium ribs.

The airframe is also built with contour angles, in which RADAR waves bounce back in other directions, thus giving the Be-23 a limited stealth feature, although it has been known that particularly powerful RADAR can look 'over' said features.

The Lu-05 incorporates the Pallas Athena system, which uses carbon computers, to measure the amplitude, period and frequency of incoming radio waves and thus return an exact radio wave in order to cancel it. The motor generations which run the Pallas Athena also run through a series of capacitors, bathed in water, in order to augment total output by atleast eighty times over. However, the Pallas Athena can be overwhelmed, consequently, it's more of a second rate weapon in order to put 'lesser technologies' at a disadvantage.

The turbojets have infra-red suppresants in order to reduce on infra-red photon radiation, consequently cutting back on infra-red target lock from the less advance air to air missiles (AIM-7 Sparrow, AAM and AIM-9 Sidewinders).

Finally, the entire aircraft has a coating of WAVE-X radar absorbent material, which incorporates the best of honeycomb absorbent material, as well as foam absorbers. WAVE-X works at a frequency of 100MHz - 6GHz and has a surface resistivity of 1MΩ. It works in extreme temperatures, -54° - +177°C, and is the best in existance up to now.

The Ostkampfwagen VIII "Ferne"

http://www.sinodefence.com/army/tank/type983l.jpg


Overview

Despite the Trotzig's and Schutzblech's effortless domination of the modern field of tank warfare, improvement is always possible. One of the killing factors of maintaining such a strong tank force had always been the cost, most notoriously the billion dollar buckyballs which the Osten Wehrmacht was famed--and feared for. While buckyballs prove to be a powerful armor when mixed with diamond helixes and supercooled Xenon, they were damn expensive, and heavy. They also had a fatal weakness, which remains classified to this day. Ergo, the Science Division had to wean themselves off the C60 molecule, and begin looking toward other possible alternatives. With that, the Osten Wehrmacht needed a new tank, just as powerful and completely modern, with less cost and weight. The answer came in the form of the Ferne.


Armor Design

The armor design, especially in a new tank, was obviously the most important part of the weapon, overall. The primary is 12 cm of a titanium alloy, reinforced with trace amounts of C60, which are in turn reinforced with diamond helixes and ADBOND. This also contains Indium/Osmium-Germanium mix 2nd Gen Supercooled Coils, which were basically stolen off the Muwatallis, a Macabee design. They are filled with supercooled liquid Xenon and when a round impacts, the liquid gasses out to counter the heat while the metal coil itself is used as a heat conductor to dissipate the attack it will render that portion of the coil useless but should still enable it to work on other parts of the tank. The second layer comes in the form of four centimeters of a reinforced ceramic composite, again employing plenty of ADBOND. The third layer is a series of ablative armor blocks, six centimeters thick. The fourth layer consists of a combination of MEXAS and more armor blocks, four centimeters thick. The final layer is a further two centimeters of an alloy consisting of trace amounts of tungsten, lead, titanium, and carbon, with steel being the primary composite.

This allows for an RHA value of some 7,000mm against KE's, for a real value of 260mm.


Weaponry

Electrothermal-Chemical (ETC) technology is an advanced gun propulsion candidate that can substantially increase gun performance with less system burden than any other advanced gun propulsion technology. It has been under development since the mid 1980s. Under the Macabee army, and later the Osten Wehrmacht, ETC cannons became a reality. The primary arnament on the Ferne, or indeed, any modern Bumsian tank, is the 155mm ETC cannon. The recoil is absorbed through an array of thousands of internal "R" rings, another piece of technology stolen off the Muwatallis. This can fire the classic array of rounds, including HEAT, APFSDS, SCRAMjet, among others. Typically, APFSDS rounds are used for maximum penetration. The APFSDS [Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot] round is actually more like a dart.

http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/ammunition/apfsds02.jpg


The primary difference between the American APFSDS and the Bumsian is that unlike an aluminum core for the round, the Bumsian version employs Depleted Uranium, one of the strongest materials possible for the job. This weapon went through one meter of solid steel at a range of five miles. To prevent the weapon simply going in one end and out the other, it explodes shortly after impact, resulting in the death of the unfortunate enemy tank's crew. This is done through the Zimmer fire and control system, the most advanced yet developed by the Science Division.



This powerful weapon is fed through an auto-loader. The barrel is cooled through a small amount of supercooled Xenon, which is replaced periodically. This allows for the sustained firing rate of 20 rounds per minute, or six times that of most modern MBT's, and the tank has a hundred and twenty rounds stored for battles. The coaxial weapon is a smaller 37mm cannon, firing both HE and AP rounds, to allow the taking out of ghetto-fied vehicals, Humvees, and light APC's with ease, along with entranched infantry. This too is fed through an auto-loader, with two hundred rounds stored.


Defenses

Where a .50cal is mounted on many MBT's sits a DREAD gun atop the Ferne. This nifty device developed in 2001 fires little steel balls upwards of 120,000 RPM with a muzzle velocity of 8,000 feet per second. This weapon is linked up with a LIDAR device also on top of the tank, to provide an effective anti-missile shield. The LIDAR array is used to detect the range, speed, and heading of the missile, and the DREAD just hones in on it's unfortunate prey.

For anti-mine warfare, the tank utilizes the tried-and-true Zeus-HLONS system, which was tested in 2001 during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. This system basically uses a laser to activate and set off the mine, as if it had a tank rolling above, detonating the mine, usually at a safe distance. As a further precaution, the Shortstop system was also mounted on the tank. This was created by the US Army to counter the artillery threat posed by the Iraqis during Operation Desert Storm. This confuses proxy-fuzed shells into believing they are close to a target [when they are hundreds of feet in the air] and blow up prematurely, causing negligible or no damage to the threatened tank.

Lastly the tank employs the new Leute system, which is basically a souped up Shtora. This scrambles enemy rangefinders, making it impossible for the enemy to determine the tank's range and shoot accurately, unless they guess the range.

"FIBS" (Frontline Infantry Battle Suit)
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/images/land-warrior-lwe.jpg

There has been much speculation by the international community that we are using other nation's designs and combining technology to make the best equippped soldier in the world. To be blunt, that is true.

There is a major research program that has been underway for some time that will re-define the infantryman of the Wehrmacht as a well-trained, armed, and efficient solider. Too long have the soldiers relied upon basic abilities for combat efficieny. No more.

The new suit, called the Frontline Infantry Battle Suit, or FIBS for short, will make the soldier a feared fighting force once again on the battlefield. It will be designed to be inexpensive but effective, as funding grows tighter with all the new research.

This suit gives NBC protection.

(Land Warrior doesn't but I couldn't find another pic.)

Helmet:

Combining the best in microchip technology, power saving techniques, and advanced targeting systems, the helmet is something if it's own. Instead of numerous proposals ranging from a full vision shield to contant-lens type vision to even brain implants, they decided on a middle of the road way to go.

The weapon is linked to the helmet, sending back data on ammo, enemy range, locations of allies, where the bullets would fly if fired, and mission objectives, among many others. This is done by a small projector shining on the frontside of the helmet, which is a bullet-resistant glass. The helmet itself is constructed out of a combination of polyester, ceramics, and titanium alloys. Head shots by obsolete Soviet snipers are no more, unless they get incredibly lucky.

The helmet will be part of the standard infantryman's outfit, although specialists such as snipers and mechanics can forego this depending on the mission. The helmet (and suit, when linked) is powered by a rechargable battery in the helmet. The average life of the system is two weeks before it has to be recharged.


Body:

The system on the FIBS is actually quite simple in fundamental design. It includes full bulletproof armor. This is achieved by using layered kevlaw alongside small titanium plates. This is reinforced against further attack by hiding a very thin plate of resin hardened glass-fiber sheet between the kevlar layers.

A problem was keeping the kevlar dry (wet kevlar doesn't absorb well). This was solved by coating it with a thin outer layer of a sandpaper-like material, which doubles as camoflague in most cases, and is resilient to ballistic fire.

Included is an active heating and cooling system, which can be changed according to the wearer's preference and outside temperatures. A plan is underway to have it register to the soldier himself (and to command) if he is hit, and also if he is wounded.

There is a catch, the bullet is stopped by spreading the area of effect, not reducing the kinetic energy. At long range, while the suit may survive a 30mm shell, odds are the solider wouldn't without some serious injuries.


Support

The system is designed to relay the position of itself to the central command station, any enemy it detects, and the locations of allies to coordinate moves. It has a hit sensor, when the soldier is hit with a flesh penetrating wound it goes off, both administering a small amount of care (painkiller) and signaling nearby medics.

It is designed for maximum efficiency and command potential. The Wehrmacht can outsoldier, outgun, and outgeneral any enemy with this newest technology piece.

Propulsion: Diesel-Electric Motor (4.200 shp), Single Shaft, Five-Bladed Screw

Crew: 49

Sonar: Tamir-5L active, passive hull arrays

Speed: 19 knots surfaced (14 crusing) / 29 knots submerged (11 crusing)

Maximum Depth: 200 Meters Recomeded, 310 Crush Depth

This may not be the most high performance submarine on the market; it's main comparison being the Russian Romeo. However, as a Diesel-Electric, it is silent and effective. It's hull design attempts, with partial sucess, to maintain the standard boat-shape of older Novikovian Subs, while adding greater streamlining and rounding to improve preformance underwater, with mixed sucess. Limited range and fuel make this boat suited for defensive action in home waters, or for short forrays against shipping in international waters. Effective in it's own regard, this ship makes a good addition to any defensive fleet, particularly for stil growing nations.

Cost: $178.000.000 USD ($171.000.000 USD production cost)

Crew: 49

Sonar: Tamir-5L active, passive hull arrays

Radar: Basic Mushroom Radar (Adapted from MiG-21), SA-13 Tracking Radar, useable at under 30 meters.

Armament: Five 533mm Torpedoe Tubes (Four Forward, One Aft), Provisions for four SA-N-08 Gremlin SAM's mounted in watertight casing against the conning tower.

Stores: Twelve Torpedoes or Fourteen Mines

Speed: 21 knots surfaced (15 crusing) / 31 knots submerged (13 crusing)

Maximum Depth: 180 Meters Recomeded, 290 Crush Depth

The major modification to this design is the introduction of a dual-motor system, instead of the single motor in the previous design. This answers the major complaint that Novikov's captains have made, that engine trouble renders the SS-01E-1 Model immobile until the problem is repaired. This new dual-engine design remedies the problem by allowing the boat to move under power of just one engine. These engines also allow for an increase of 400 shp, giving the boat 2 knots more speed surfaced and submerged. The final advantage this boat has over the origional is simply an aditional two SAMs, as well as a better radar system to help targeting.

The cost of this modification, over 600 km in range due to smaller fuel tanks. Slight size variations were also made to the frame, resulting in a slightly weaker build, leading to a lower maximum depth.

Speed-Secondary Engine: 2 knots surfaced / 3.5 knots submerged

Maximum Depth: 260 Meters Recomeded, 350 Crush Depth


This represents the first major redesign of Novikov's submarine fleet. Designed over the course of five years, this submarine is a signifigant improvement over the smaller "Mečúň" designs.

Increased range, armament, provisions, detection range, and stealth make this boat fundamentally superior to it's older partners. Incorperating the traditional six-tube design, and making the transition to a complete teardrop-style frame, this boat was actually designed to feel far less "foreign" to captains than the "Mečúň" design did.

The "Meč" has a signifigant advantage in range over most other Diesel-Electrics, giving it the option of striking deeper out to sea and making it an efficent tool for use against hostile merchants as well as marauding raders. An interesting feature is that, because the secondary engine and the primary engines' batteries are seperate, the ship can theoretically run on batteries for an astounding five days, making this boats possible range far greater, though it's speed performance suffers a coresponding drop.

The armament is again the standard 533mm Torpedo, giving it compatability with almost every navy, though these tubes are specially designed to have the dual function of firing conventional torpedoes and the YJ-8 anti-shipping cruse missile. This gives it a deadly touch, particularly when combined with this subs decreased detectability and increased sonar range and clarity.

The Areis is the first missile submarine in Novikov's arsenal. Comperable to the Russian Oscar-Class Submarine, it was designed immediately after Novikov's first war with Sevensky, to serve as a deterrant.

Capable of running fast and quiet, this first generation submarine is based around a dual role. With ten torpedoe tubes, it is easily capable of attack conventional shipping and defending itself against numerically superior attackers. it is also capable of attacking enemy targets deep inland using it's Ganat Cruse Missiles, using either conventional or chemical warheads, depending on need.

D647 “Morsky-Orol” Class Light Cruiser

The Morsky-Orol is intended to be the first indigenous surface vessel deployed into the Novikovskie Voyenno Morskoy Flot (Novikovian Maritime Military Fleet), and is intended to serve as the flagship for her destroyer squadrons. She is intended to serve as a surface-attack vessel, combating hostile destroyers and possibly cruisers.

Because of her primary role as a surface combat ship, the Morsky-Orol is heavily equipped with the Crotale EDIR Systems and various missile decoys. This combination is intended to give the ship heightened survivability against other cruisers which will doubtlessly have a superior compliment of Anti-Ship missiles. It also serves to compensate for the light amount of armor given to defend the ship – only slightly thicker than a standard destroyer’s.

The hypothetical target of the Morsky-Orol used in the design process was a Kirov-Class Guided Missile Cruiser. Possessing over double her weapon’s systems, armor, and overall tonnage, the Kirov is an unlikely target for such a ship as this, but the Morosky-Orol is outfitted in such a manner as to give her a reasonable chance of survival in such an engagement - whether through defensive armaments or sheer speed – and the possibility of a kill, provided she does not fight an extended engagement.

The Type-03 is a modification of the Chinese Type-98 Main Battle Tank, of which Novikovian authorities purchased a single model three years prior to the release of this vehicle. The Type-03 is intended to replace the Type-80 (also Type88) Chinese Tank which has serve in Novikov for three years. Production estimates detail that this move to the Type-03 should be complete within three years, completely phasing out the Type-80 from front-line duties.

The design principle on this tank was simple, to make something on indigenous design comparable to the T-90, M1A2, and Challenger II Main Battle Tanks currently employed by the majority of the world's armies. This vehicle also has the distinction of one being proposed by Novikov for use in the IADF's military, both by Novikov's forces and, it is hoped, by the forces of their allies.

Design:

Laid out in traditional Soviet style, the Type-03 has a driver's compartment in the front, a central turret and fighting compartment, and the main power plant in the rear. Main power plant is designed to be removable in under one hour, should the need arise.

It is also worth noting that this tank is the first to feature such Western design features as armored bulkheads and armored barriers between crew and fuel/ammunition stores. These are all designed to give the tank crew maximum survivability on the modern battlefield.

Additionally, a snorkel and extra fuel tanks can be mounted on the vehicle, giving it extended range and the ability to deploy across rivers up to five meters deep. Other kits are planned, including a longer snorkel, and a floatation/propeller system, both intended to allow this vehicle to fill the role currently played by the PT-76 Amphibious Tanks in service supporting Novikov's infantry.

Armament:

Principal armament for the Type-03 is a Chinese 125mm smoothbore gun, fully-stabilized. The weapon incorporates an autoloader which serves to conserve space and gives the tank a fire rate of 16 rounds in 90 seconds. The weapon is capable of firing traditional HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank), APFSDS (Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot), and traditional HE/HE-FRAG (High-Explosive / High-Explosive Fragmentation) rounds.

The main gun carries 48 rounds stored in protected compartments inside the turret, with 17 being mounted automatically in the auto-reloaded. After the initial 16 shells have been fired, either the gunner or commander is forced to begin an automatic reload sub-routine, which takes some 50 seconds to complete, though it can be interrupted to resume firing.

Fire accuracy is attained by the laser rangefinder, wind sensor, ballistic computer, and thermal barrel sleeve. Dual axis stabilization ensures effective firing on the move. The commander is has three periscopes and a stabilized panoramic sight fitted with day/thermal viewing options, all to ensure accurate target acquisition.

Finally, the Type-03 is fitted with a computerized onboard information processing system, which can collect information from vehicle navigation (Inertia/GPS), observation systems and sensors, process it in the computer and display it on the commander's display, giving the ability of real-time command and beyond-vision-range target engaging.

Other weapons include a 12.7mm heavy machinegun mounted outside the gunner's hatch, intended to serve as protection from enemy infantry as well as a last-ditch defense from hostile aircraft. Principal anti-aircraft duties are taken over by a package of four SA-7 light SAMs mounted to the side of the turret. These are controlled by a secondary gunners sight or by a target acquisition program run through the commander's main panoramic sight.

Protection:

The turret and hull are all of a steel/ceramic compound construction (note: this armor is only slightly more effective than welded steel and is distinctly different from other composite armors), with a more typical ceramic plating attached over most of the vehicle's surface in 20mm or 40mm layering. Additional dual-blow off panels have also been added over the turret front and sides, as well as the frontal hull armor. A final defensive measure exists in the form of mounting points for replacement tracks over the vulnerable rear engine compartment. This combination or armors has almost completely removed the effectiveness of HE, HE-FRAG, and most HEAT rounds, achieving the said design goal of increased survivability.

A final defensive measure comes in the form of the Chinese JD-3 integrated laser rangefinder/warning/self-defense device. This device is mounted atop the turret in a circular configuration. When activated, it detects incoming laser-range finding systems as they strike the tank and, in return, fires a parallel beam back towards the optics/range finding equipment on the enemy tank. Initial tests indicate that is system can diminish targeting effectiveness by over 50%, and in several cases, completely blind the crews of enemy tanks trying to engage the Type-03.

Propulsion:

The Type-03 is powered by a liquid cooled, turbocharged 1,200 hp diesel derived from Germany WD396 diesel technology. At its current battle weight of 52 tons, this gives the tank a power-to-weight ratio of about 23 hp/tonne and a maximum speed of 65km/h.

NPM-A SPW-05 Armored Assault Gun

Program:

The SPW-05 is intended as an infantry support weapon, to replace the ageing PT-76 Light Tank currently in service.

Generally seen in a support role, it is intended to provide short-range artillery support and anti-tank fire for whatever infantry it is attached to, as well as give its attached battalion an amphibious vehicle with at least the firepower of the PT-76. It is also highly capable of providing transport for any number of infantry who can fit on its flat hull.

Design:

Laid out in the same basic format as the PT-76, this vehicle has a driver compartment located alongside the diesel motor at the front of the vehicle. Mounted directly behind the driver is the main gun, set in a squat position, far back in the vehicle, protruding over the driver’s head. Also behind the driver is the commander/gunner’s compartment, complete with traditional soviet auto-loader and open ammunition/fuel compartment.

Armament:

The main gun, with a 7.5 cm bore, is actually an adoption of the traditional 75mm artillery tube used by Novikov’s military. It is well capable of firing traditional, low-velocity artillery shells, as well as it’s more common armament, the high-velocity/high-penetration 75mm anti-tank shells (HV/HP AT) designed to knock out tanks with armoring comparable to the modern T-80 soviet medium tank.

The main gun is not fully stabilized, rather being in almost a rigid mount to the vehicle frame. This prevents it from firing accurately while moving, but there is no firing inhibitor. Thus, it can still engage with reasonable precision at short distances, even while in a full run.

This weapon is targeted using a modern laser-range finding system, as well as a basic ballistics computer, digitally connected to the typical thermal barrel sleeve. This gives it pinpoint accuracy at up to two kilometers downrange in ideal conditions. It is, however, missing some of the more advanced systems like those measuring wind speed and barometric pressure. An onboard GPS system also allows infantry to digitally map targets for beyond-vision engagements while the gun is serving as artillery.

A wide visual range is achieved via a pair of periscopes, as well as a similar pair of IR equipped panoramic sights, one for both driver and gunner. This allows the gunner to independently engage targets while the commander operates the secondary weapon, and allows full targeting options even if one sight is disabled.

Secondary weapons consist simply of a 12.7mm machinegun mounted alongside the main gun. Firing is controlled by the vehicle commander, who engages out his traditional panoramic sight. Because this was intended to operate alongside groups of SA-7 equipped infantry, it has no air-defense weapons.

Protection:

The hull is of a typical hardened steel construction with 3mm composite overlays. A sloped front and sides attempt to provide increased deflection of incoming shells (with mixed results), and a steel skirt can be applied to protect the otherwise vulnerable tracks. Its armour, however, is a mere 25mm thick in most places, giving it only marginal defense against small-caliber weapons.

Because of this, the SPW-05 is not intended to stand up to hostile tanks and its best defense is simply not to be seen, as its armor cannot stand up to the main weapon on any modern medium or heavy tanks.

If it is spotted, its last defense is in the form of a modified JD-3 integrated laser rangefinder/warning/self-defense device. Just like that on the Type-03 Main Battle Tank, the JD-3 detects incoming laser beams (presumably from a hostile tank’s rangefinder) and fires a parallel beam back at the source with the hope of blinding the computer targeting system on the enemy tank. The SPW-05’s version of this system, however, features a varied-intensity beam, rather than the simpler standard-intensity beam mounted on the Type-03. The varied-intensity was chose because it forces the enemy computer system to make rapid re-calculations, simulating a rapid change in its target range. This serves to hinder targeting ability by almost 60%, giving the SPW-05 a reasonable chance of survival, even if detected and engaged by a superior main gun.

Propulsion:

The Type-03 is powered by an air cooled, turbocharged 800 hp diesel derived from a compacted version of Germany’s WD396 diesel technology.

Glushko-1 MRBM

Having been in the design stages for the past three years, the Glushko-1 is Novikov’s first attempt to design an indigenous missile system. Though currently in the process of procuring ICBMs from foreign distributors, the decision was made to proceed with the Glushko program as a means of remaining self-sufficient, a policy which has dominated Novikov’s mildly isolationist past.

The technology of the Glushko program is largely an expansion of existing technology used in Novikov’s ancient SCUD weapons. The missile itself consists of a three-stage delivery device, intended to carry a small observational or communications satellite, a Co-Orbital ASAT device into space, or a .02 MT SRV nuclear device. The first stage is a liquid-fuel rocket essentially designed as a lengthened and widened version of the SCUD-E’s engine. The second stage similarly based on a slightly modified SCUD-C engine, and the third consists of a small ellipsoidal solid-fuel motor used to boost the payload to orbital height and velocity.

The fuel used in the two principal engines has been altered following a slight redesign of the SCUD engine, from the standard Soviet UDMH mixture to the more easily procured TM-185 mixture. Similarly, in the interest of greater production, the RFNA oxidizer has been replaced with AK-271 which can be manufactured at three various facilities throughout Novikov. These changes have made little difference in the calculated range of the Glushko-1, and it remains capable of striking nearly 3,100 kilometers.

Initial testing of the rocket engines have shown them to be stable in sustained firing, and, though the missile has yet to complete a successful test launch, it is by all indications and effective intermediate-range delivery device and represents the cutting edge of the Novikovian space program.

Payloads designed for the Glushko-1 include the N-Sat 1 LEO Satellite, a conventional tactical payload (2,000 kg), or a Single Re-Entry Vehicle – planned to be fitted with a 20 kiloton nuclear device or a proximity detonation conventional weapon. The N-Sat 1 has an operational life of 800 hours, and can be deployed currently as a communication’s relay satellite. Plans exist to refit the N-Sat 1 with an observational camera, giving Novikov its own limited observational satellite coverage, possibly within a month of the first successful N-Sat 1 launch. This modification carries the tentative designation O-Sat 1.

The SRV employed by the three-stage Glushko-1 is capable of bringing up to 790 kg of material – be it a small nuclear device or conventional munitions – into temporary Earth orbit and back down. While this vehicle has been designed principally as a delivery device for tactical weapons, it also is undergoing preliminary testing as an ASAT weapon – utilizing a 700 kg of cluster munitions linked to a radar proximity device to provide a lethal area of coverage when the device comes within range of a targeted satellite. Current estimates for accuracy give the missile a 40% chance of delivering its payload within range of the targeted satellite, and the weapons provide a 60% chance of kill – giving this ASAT device a 24% chance of kill, according to current estimates.

I'm back from my vacation, pics coming soon!

OMG HE LIVES! :p

How was Spain?

Well, most of my trip was work because I have to do a year's work on the vines, olives and such in two months, meaning it's a lot of work, but it pays good - I also had to work on some flats, although that's not my realm, just my uncles, but I help him out sometimes. But it was pretty nice though. I saw El Valle de Los Caidos, which was beautiful - it's where Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera and Franco are buried... a basilica carved out of a mountain, as well as a cross half the size of the tallest tower of the old World Trade Centers.

Best of all though, this last week, which were the "fiestas" of the town I live in, strippers in one of the discotech - oh man, that was awsome. A week of pure drinking, dancing and girls - not bad.

Meh, all around it was cool.

Welcome back! :D

[OOC:Hey Mac, i was just thinking, for a Panzer Division to be fully great it could use some assault guns or tank destroyers, (if you dont know what they are lemme kno, ill explain) and it might be me, but i dont see any in your storefront and was wondering if you would like to do a joint project.]

[OOC: Assault guns, if your referring to those of the Second World War, were self propelled artillery guns, and I have one of those - the KriGud. On tank destroyers, those were designed because the allied experience against German heavy tanks were never good, so they designed tank destroyers for a cheap counter against Tigers and King Tigers, and the Germans did it because of Soviet tanks, and because they liked to design armor for stupid reasons. However, because the tank I sell is heavy enough to combat any tank, and designing a tank destroyer would make any platoon logistically more complex to resupply and maintain, it wouldn't be cost effective to design and produce tank destroyers.

Although, if you want to design one, we could. There might be those who think that it would be better to field a tank destroyer than a tank, and it could always bring in profit, even if I don't field it. So if you want, we can design one.]

I point you towards the Stug III & IV which were used by great sccess by the germans in WWII

[OOC: Hmm, I definatly need more self-propelled guns for my Panzer Divisions then. I wasnt sure on the exact specs on an assault gun and thank you for clearing that for me. I am still interested on a big gunned, high front armor tank destroyer to assist my Panzer XIs from longer range.]

Also, what do you suggest i should put in a Panzer division?

[OOC: Hmmm, on my panzer divisions I stress logistical simplicity, although over the days it gets more and more complex. I normally have about a hundred and twenty-five tanks, or in NS where I have larger armies, one hundred and twenty-five per brigade, giving me five hundred per division, although that's a stress, and I might change it. You should also have heavily armored infantry, which would be entirely motorized with trucks or IFVs or APCs, as well as a brigade or two of surface-to-air missile batteries (fully mobile and self propelled), as well as one or two brigades of self-propelled artillery. The problem with SP artillery is that they're normally howitzers, like the assault guns, so they have greater power, but shorter range. That's why I'm going to make a varation of the French Cesare, which is a 155mm long range artillery gun, placed on the back of a huge truck. So it's like a normal field piece, with the same long range and power, only on a truck, so its technically self propelled.]

[OOC: Im trying to keep my divisions simple and clean, even if it means saying something is a Panzer although it is not. I have my military factbook in my sig, so would you check that out and let me know what you think of my ARMY division structure and give me and ideas or suggestions? Thanks]

[OOC:

I got confused by this:


Panzer Divisions
1st Panzer Battalion
2nd Panzer Battalion
3rd Panzer Battalion
4th Panzer Battalion
5th Panzer Battalion
6th Panzer Battalion
7th Panzer Battalion
8th Panzer Battalion

(((NOTE: Each battalion consists of 15 panzer divisions)))


It might be a mistake inside the note, but a battalion is smaller than a division. Normally a number of companies makes a battalion or a regiment - and then a number of battalions a regiment, although some nations dont even field battalions. Then a number of regiments makes a division. Normally in an armored division there are a number of platoons within a company; say three platoons of twelve tanks in one company, and then maybe three companies within a regiment and three regiments within a division - that would give you around three hundred tanks per division.

As for your carrier groups. They look good, but Battleships are expensive. Even I only field four or five battleships per carrier group. They aren't that expensive to build, they're expensive to maintain, and if you lose one your going to feel it. So, I would decrease the number of battleships, and increase the number of destroyers, cruisers and frigates for ASW/ASuS duties.

Everything else looks cream of the crop though.]

[OOC: About the Battleships, I appreciate the advice, but i like the number, and after i wrecked Jenrak, I feel that 7 is perfect and it provides alot of offense.

I will switch the Division and Battalion thing, and in the military factbook i wont bother to go into that much detail, but i will in my RPs. Now what units should i add to my Panzer Divisions?]

BTW dont hesisiate to suggest Kriegzimmer units for the Panzer Divisions

[OOC: I would say the number of tanks you have now, and then about two thousand armored infantry, devided into twenty companies, in two regiments - each company of one hundred men. The companies you can devide into squads and platoons as you wish in your RPs. The division of heavy infantry should also have enough APCs or IFVs to carry most of your infantry, and the rest can be carried in trucks and such. Then two brigades of mobile SAMs, I would say each made up of fifty SAM batteries. Then three brigades of self-propelled artillery, either the howitzers most sell now, or the field guns I'm going to design - you can use the French Cesare, which is basically the same thing.]

[OOC: OK, now heres what my projected numbers would be, before i place the order.

Each Panzer Division will have
415 Panzer XI
2048 heavily armed soldiers
256 SOV-06
??? Self propelled guns (what number do you suggest)
??? Sam batteries (what number exactly?)

((I have 8 of these divisions, total in my army))

[OOC: 100 mobile SAM batteries and maybe about 200 SP artillery.]

[OOC: Ok then time for an order]

IC:
We would like to place an order for

32768 M-24 Assault Rifles
4096 SOV-06s

Hey Maccabees, long time no see. I got a question, why does your light tank weigh 68 tons?


Because even though its light, it still has a bunch of crap on it. It's just lighter than my other tank...maybe I should call it a medium tank.

Domestic weapons technology has increased with the passage since the placing of the order. The MAP 3 series LBT has sufficiently advanced to the point where it is an effective contender in the tank arena. We are no longer in need of your... belated services. Cancel our order.

Unfortunately your order was probably made over two months ago, meaning it was long shipped to your country. But thanks for the bump anyways.

[Tenerife class SSH]

[Out of Character Background]
This is the first design I've undertaken on paper before transferring all of the information to the computer. It is to say, it's the first design in which I drew specific parts and I actually explained and computed certain charactiristics of the submarine, and of course many of the things are mathimatically tested, although unfortunately I can't show all of the math on here. It also is, most likely, a piece in which I spent the most time researching specific technologies and designs.

Consequently, I've decided to include a bibliography at the end with a list of written sources. I've attented to, as well, as a list of oral testimonials. Hopefully, this bibliography will give the Tenerife a bit more justification, and, perhaps, it will underscore the two months time I put into the design.

The design took me from my more permanent home of San Diego, where for the past two years, through Physics and enginnering, I slowly developeed my knowledge of weapons, which is still severely limited, and then to central Spain, including Madrid, and El Provencio, where I was opened to my uncle's vast collection of books concerning submarines, as well as the National Museum of the Armada. Maybe the Tenerife will go down as the most international design of NationStates.

Because of the fact that this was done largely through my own assumptions, designs and calculations there is a huge possibility that the Tenerife has some errors. Consequently, I invite anybody to nitpick at me. In the end, it is only improvement of the design.

-Jon

[Abstract]
The Tenerife was the response of the Empire to the evolution of naval strategy. The latter has seen a change from the supremacy of surface combat groups to that of submerged combat groups. It is to say, in modern naval battles we've seen that the submarine has been the most influential variable, considering the conclusions of most battles. Then, following the game of cat and mouse, armaments and counter-armaments, Kriegzimmer has introduced the new class of submarine - the hunter; the first of these will be the Tenerife.

Not only that, but the Tenerife is the first submarine in the service of the Kriegsmarine that is one hundred percent produced in the Empire, by domestic companies. It is sure to say that the Tenerife is the glory of the Kriegsmarine and of the Empire in general.

[Hull Design and Construction]
The hull of the submarine doesn't follow standard procedures of modern sbumarines, the teardrop shape. Instead, the Tenerife takes on the shape of a pure cigar, which was originally attempted by the Soviet Union twenty years ago, in its Alfa class SSNs and Papa class SSBNs. The pure cigar has proved to have the capability of higher velocities as opposed to a standard cigar or a tear drop shape hull. The Tenerife itself has been tested to reach the maximum velocity of forty-three knots, one more than the Alfa class submarine.

The frame of the Tenerife class SSN is fully made of titanium, amongst the strongest conventional metals known to man. Although rather expensive, it does allow to extend the much important crush depth needed for modern submarines. Furthermore, it gives the hull a greater tensile strength, and should be able to survive up to, and perhaps more than, two standard ADCAP [MK 48] torpedoes.

The hull is constructed of a composite material, designed by Imperial engineers. Namely, a polymer material [or plastic material] is weaved around a matrix, giving it additional strength for resistance. The polymer is also reinforced with titanium and steel strands, as well as the ceramics found in chobham and cermat. Furthermore, there are also strands of depleted uranium and vanadium, giving the hull a strength proportional to that of a surface ship. There are also several bulkheads and a host of NBC protection agents, in order to defend from chemical to nuclear attacks in the submarine layer.

The hull and frame gives the Tenerife class SSH an outstanding crush depth of 2.5 kilometers under perfect circumstances. The hull also incorporates ROR-CHO composite technology developed by BFGoodrich which give the submarine and its sonar windows awesome acoustical performance, while keeping structural integrity.

Moreover, the hull and screws are pocketed by Super Flow cavitation absorbers. SuperFlow power absorbers use forged stainless steel shafts, which have internal hubs for attachment of the impeller. The attachment point to the hub is part of the forging, not a keyway or serration. The stainless steel forged shafts, used in the dynamometers currently available on SF-901s, have not experienced a single failure in their current configurations, going back a number of years. The SuperFlow absorber design uses a rounded pocket which is considerably more efficient at transferring torque, while reducing the shock effect of the water moving from the rotor to the stator. As a consequence, the rotor is smaller in diameter and contains much less volume for rapid response. The area exposed to the water is less, and many of these units have been in operation more than 15 years at this time. The SuperFlow dynamometers are used extensively for endurance testing, and customers report accumulating more than 10,000 hours on the absorbers. SuperFlow’s durability is proven by many years of in-field use.
Finally, the hull is layered with a thin strip of gaucho, a black rubbery substance designed to absorb active sound waves, as well as anechoic tiling.

[Propulsion]
The Tenerife class SSH is driven by a single Baldur pebble bed nuclear reactor. The Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is a new type of high temperature helium gas-cooled nuclear reactor, which builds and advances on world-wide nuclear operators' experience of older reactor designs. The most remarkable feature of these reactors is that they use attributes inherent in and natural to the processes of nuclear energy generation to enhance safety features. More importantly, it is also a practical and cost-effective solution to most of the logistics of generating electricity.

http://www.eskom.co.za/nuclear_energy/pebble_bed/image1_2.gif

To protect the reactor there are several infra-red detection devices around the uranium core, and at a note from a pressure sensor, either made by water or a man made collision, the Baldur nuclear reactor is automatically shut off, save for the coolant flow.

http://www.eskom.co.za/nuclear_energy/pebble_bed/coated_part.gif

The nature of the chain reaction that takes place in the PBMR is exactly the same as the one that takes place at Koeberg. (Refer to Koeberg experience - Fuel )

The fuel used in a PBMR consists of "spheres" which are designed in such a way that they contain their radioactivity. The PBMR fuel is based on proven high quality fuel used in Germany.

Each sphere is about the size of a tennis ball and consists of an outer graphite matrix (covering) and an inner fuel zone The fuel zone of a single sphere can contain up to 15 000 "particles". Each particle is coated with a special barrier coating, which ensures that radioactivity is kept locked inside the particle. One of the barriers,the silicon carbide barrier, is so dense that no gaseous or metallic radioactive products can escape. (it retains its density up to temperatures of over 1 700 degrees Celsius). The reactor is loaded with over 440 000 spheres - three quarters of which are fuel spheres and one quarter graphite spheres - at any one time. Fuel spheres are continually being added to the core from the top and removed from the bottom. The removed spheres are measured to see if all the uranium has been used. If it has, the sphere is sent to the spent fuel storage system, and if not, it is reloaded in the core. An average fuel sphere will pass through the core about 10 times before being discharged. the graphite spheres are always re-used. The graphite spheres are used as a moderator. They absorb and reduce the energy of the neutrons so that these can reach the right energy level needed to sustain the chain reaction.

[Saturn SONAR Megalith]
AN/BQQ-5 Sonar
AN/BQQ-5 bow-mounted spherical array sonar acoustic system is deployed on SSN 637 and SSN 501 attack submarine classes. This low frequency passive and active search and attack sonar is supplied by IBM. The AN/BQQ-5E sonar with the TB-29 towed array and Combat Control System (CCS) Mk 2, known collectively as the QE-2 System, provides a functionally equivalent system for the Cartagena class submarines. Enhancements include increases in acoustic performance, improved combat control capabilities and replacement of obsolete equipment.

OPEVAL for AN/BQQ-5E system with the TB-29 Array completed in FY 1998; this system will provide quantum improvements in long-range detection and localization for SSN 501 Class Submarines. Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) 7001 to AN/BQQ-5E will provide Low Frequency Active Interference Rejection, Dual Towed Array Processing, and Full Spectrum Processing to SSN 501 Class Submarines.

The AN/BSY-1 ECP 1000, the AN/BQQ-5 Medium Frequency Active Improvement program and Improved Control Display Console Obsolete Equipment Replacement have been modified to become the basis of the Acoustics Rapid Commercial Off The Shelf Insertion (A-RCI) program. A-RCI is a multi-phased, evolutionary development effort geared toward addressing Acoustic Superiority issues through the rapid introduction of interim development products applicable to SSN 501,Class Submarines. A-RCI Phases I and II introduce towed array processing improvements; A-RCI Phase III introduces spherical array processing improvements.

The Tenerife Submarine System Improvement Program develops and integrates command and control improvements needed to maintain Cartagena submarine operational capability through the life cycle of this vital strategic asset. The program conducts efforts needed to ensure platform invulnerability, and reduce life cycle costs. Recent efforts have included the development of AN/BQQ-6 Sonar to AN/BQQ-5E Sonar Translator.

TB-113, TB-23 Towed Array and TACTAS
The TB-113 towed array is the newest towed array currently in service with the Imperial Navy. Being about three times as long as the current Elusive class Battleship it also has a grand host of hundreds of sensitive hydrophones running down the final seventy-five meters length of steel wire.

It was designed to supplement the AN/BQQ-5 spherical array, and to exceed existent towed arrays. However, the older TB-23 towed array is still in use, being the only short towed array in service with the Imperial Navy.

The AN/SQR-19 Tactical Towed Array SONAR (TACTAS) provides very long-range passive detection of enemy submarines. TACTAS is a long cable full of microphones that is towed about a mile behind the ship. It is towed so far behind the ship so as to not let noise radiating from the shipitself interfere with the noise picked up from targets. Using that noise can determine exactly what ship or submarine is being tracked. The AN/SQR-19B Tactical Array SONAR (TACTAS) is a passive towed array system which provides the ability to detect, classify, and track a large number of submarine contacts at increased ranges. TACTAS is a component sensor of the AN/SQQ-89(V)6 ASW Combat System, and provides significant improvements in passive detection and localization, searching throughout 360 degrees at tactical ship speeds. Processing of complex TACTAS data is performed by the largest computer program assembly ever developed for surface ship anti-submarine warfare.

Meteorology and Oceanography Center Detachment TACTAS support products describe oceanographic and acoustic conditions (using range dependent models) in the prosecution area for towed array ships tasked by CTF-69 for ASW operations. This message is provided when own ship Sonar In-situ Mode Assessment System (SIMAS) or the Mobile Environmental Team’s Mobile Oceanographic Support System MOSS) are not available. It is tailored to the specific towed array carried onboard. The message is transmitted prior to the start of a prosecution and daily thereafter or as requested.

[Apollo's Eyes RADAR]
The radar has a peak power of 50 or 60 kW (pulse width 1 microsecond, PRF 1200 pps). There are also a short-pulse mode (0.1 microsecond, 100 kW, can be 2500 pps). Gain is 28 dB; dimensions of the half-cheese antenna are 1.0 x 0.25 m. The beam is 2.4 x 16 deg.

Performance: The range remains at around 200 nautical miles. In the single-pulse mode a ship can be detected at two hundred and ten nautical miles. The ZW-07 radar is installed on the Cartagena SSN.

http://www.dutchsubmarines.com/rd/images/equipm_zw-07.jpg

Apollo's Eyes focuses on sky search duties, insteand of surface search, although it's main priority are low flying aircraft.

[Photonic Mast]
http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/photonic-mast-a.jpg

As with the other new submergible designs within the Kriegsmarine's ranks the Tenerife has dropped the use of the standard attack and search periscopes, instead using a single all purpose photonic mast. However, credit for the awakening of the technology must go to New Empire, although credit for a better understanding and subsequent improvement is retained by the Second Empire of the Golden Throne.

The technology works through a mechanism similar to a standard periscope. This includes a fairly long tube shaped rod, which is retractable, placed on the submarine's bridge. The mast holds a cassagrian telescope, used widely by modern astronomers, and infamous for its relative simplicity of design, and cost effectiveness.

THe diamond cast lens, designed in a concave shape, seves the purpose of collecting light. Light waves, of length varying from all wavelenghts which pass through the ozone and multiple atmospheres are seen by both and these light waves move through the lend to the rear of the Cassagrian telescope, which is covered with mirrors angled at various measurements, thus causing the light to relfect towards the intended focus, which relfects the light down the photonic mast. From there it uses the same technology as a standard periscope, it is to say, a series of prisms and mirros to divide and relfect the light into the eyes of the observer.

The difference between a photonic mast and a periscope is that unlike a periscope, the photonic mast does not collect light on the basis of the capabilities of the human eye. Instead, it collects all light in the atmosphere, and this light is seen through a digital camera, which makes the eye piece. It also has a much longer range than a standard periscope.

[Weapons]
The Tenerife will have six forward tubes, designed at 500mm width. The tubes will be able to fire virtually any Imperial torpedo design, including the MT-1, MT-2, MT-3 and MT-4. The tubes will also be used to release SSIXS transmission canisters.

Furthermore, the Tenerife is designed with two quadruple cell VLS tubes for a launch sequence of eight missiles within eight seconds. VLS tubes employed by the Tenerife will be of the same make as those employed on other submersible and surface ships. Meaning, after one missile is launched the entire VLS apparatus uses heavy hydraulics to spin, and in that way while one missile launches another cell restocks, ergo, the VLS tubes never have to stop firing, and instead reload on the move.

The VLS cells are designed to fire Principe III, Shockhound Avenger I and Praetorian V missiles.

The Tenerife can also carry up to twenty mines and a single Bilbao class UUV.

Finally, the Tenerife wields five retractable ASHUM guns for anti-torpedo defenses.

[Statistics]
Beam: 30 ft.
Length: 350 ft.
Submerged Displacement: 7,100 tons
Submerged Velocity: 43 knots

[Cost]
Each Tenerife class SSN will be exported for 1.4 billion USD.

[OOC:

Heh, no that's my own mistake. I probably couldn't remember the guys name so I put Fedor on it. It's the same guy - I just changed the name accidently. I should edit Black Void Sorrounding.

For the military base exchange you can put as many troops as you want. I think I told you the base and its name and where its located. So, since your an ally, and I trust you, you can put whatever you want in it. You can even expand it to be an air base and ground base - two in one. And you can even expand the base, although you wouldn't be able to link it, to the coastal area by building a small extension on the coast, and although the two parts of the base wouldn't be touching it would be one, seperated base. That was a bit confusing, but I hope you got it.

1. What did you like about Kriegzimmer? The selection and technology available here is the greatest we have yet seen.

2. How do you think Kriegzimmer could improve? Less expensive products would be nice. Try to design something inexpensive and 'second-rate' (though I hate that phrase) to make this accessable to new players as well as older nations.

3. What other products, or line of products, do you think Kriegzimmer could design to increase the number of clients? See advice above.

4. Your Name: Serving Prime Minister Milos Borovic

5. Anything else you would like to say? The Royal Crown Colony of Novikov and her government will stand behind the Second Empire in all matters, including internal disputes. If ever aid is needed, we will be glad to oblige if such action is at all possible.

Hyena Tank Destroyer – Hailandkill/Macabee Joint Design


[Abstract]
The Hyena was a product of the many engineering brains within the realms of Hailandkill, and was the conclusion of many years of cooperation between Hailandkill and Kriegzimmer, a Macabee conglomerate of a myriad of defense corporations. It was designed to be a light and cheap response to the growing numbers of main battle tanks. In other words, the task of the Hyena was to be a product for poorer, or smaller, nations to afford, in which using superior numbers, superior velocities and superior turret speeds to successfully encounter and knock out an enemy main battle tank on the field. It is to say, the Hyena has sacrificed newer technologies and heavier mechanisms for the sake of these three principles, which make the Hyena a very dangerous adversary, despite its technological decencies.

However, it’s not to say that the Hyena uses obsolete technologies, or at least is old fashioned. It does use limited amounts of revolutionary technologies, although any of these are generally designed to aid the tank in the three areas it was built for. These technologies range from engine types to transmissions to main weaponry. It all comes together to form a very deadly design despite common misconceptions, and regardless of tactical differences. In short, it’s a very good purchase for nations who do not have the money to buy mass amounts of heavy armor, and just want to survive on the battlefield.

Designers who aided in the project include engineers from most ground defense corporations belonging to the Kriegzimmer conglomerate, as well as independent researchers especially hired by the Macabee administration. Hailandkill Arms Manufacturing also provided for at least half of the engineering staff and much of the research and design budget, which the Hyena administration couldn’t handle by itself.

For the purpose of research the Kriegzimmer and HKAM staff can be reached on their telegram boxes and ask that customers or critics do not fill their catalogues with garbage. Any objections should be dealt with privately and in a personal matter. Both thank you for their cooperation.

[Engine and Transmission]
In this case it was decided that the best option for the engine of the Hyena would be a 1,600 horsepower gasoline engine. Like standard gasoline engines the Hyena would be based on a thermal combustion wave to combust the diesel in the combustion tank, which in turn drives the crankshaft and the subsequent pistons. The engine itself would include a twelve cylinder system, with an alternating sequence of piston patterns. The four-stroke cycle, which includes the pistons within the cylinders, includes an intake stroke, a compression stroke, power stroke and an exhaust stroke, just like the normal Otto Cycle.

The transmission is a three group system, using a dual stick shift box. The left stick includes the three groups; the first is for acceleration, concentrating the gears to maximize horsepower and minimize engine torque, while the second group is for hauling, concentrating the gears to maximize torque and to minimize horsepower, this group would be normally used to elevations, and the third group would be for reverse. The right stick would control the gears, of which there would be an eight gear system, giving the Wolverine a total of twenty-four gears.

Nonetheless, the engine is designed to sacrifice engine torque in order to increase horsepower. The strength of the Hyena lies in its ability for pure acceleration and pure velocity, not in its ability for raw power. This is the direct opposite as what is found in a tractor or a main battle tank, which need more torque to pull more weight, the tractor in hauling, and the main battle tank is pulling its own monstrous tonnage. The transmission is designed to give the Wolverine an excellent gear to weight ratio, therefore minimizing engine failures and maximizing efficiency, although again, the engine was not designed to be the most technologically developed.

[Crew Mechanisms]
The driver enjoys a very comfortable environment within the Hyena, although personnel chambers are especially cramped due to the relatively small size of the Hyena. Nonetheless, he enjoys a dual braking system, in which the brake pedal is divided in two, allowing the driver to either break only the left rear wheel, the right rear wheel, or both as in a standard vehicle. In this form the driver could either stop all at one, or turn in place. This braking system has already been used on most modern tank designs and all tractor designs, although the Hyena is the only vehicle in which it’s specifically stated as being used, and improved upon.

The entire pedal array, including the braking system, the transmission, the clutch and the acceleration pedal use hydraulic technology, making it much more effective, much more efficient, and much faster. The driver’s steering capabilities are also fully hydraulic, as well as maneuvering mechanisms. On the right side of the driver there’s a hydraulic lever which controls rear view cameras.

The cameras are installed in standard blind spots, allowing the driver to see from these blind spots in front of him on six separate twelve inch LCD screens. Each separate camera has a view on a separate location, allowing the driver a full three hundred and sixty degree rotational view of the tank, either using his own eyes, or the widespread amount of cameras.

[Armor]
The Hyena's armor is relatively light, contrary to design expectations of other nations. It’s designed as a CERMAT/CHOBHAM composite, including strands of tungsten, titanium and depleted uranium, woven around polymer matrices, which themselves make the armor stronger and more effective. The RHA value of this layer is thought to be around 900mm RHA at its strongest, namely the armored plate of the front of the vehicle.

There’s a center layer of ERA, an explosive reactive armor designed as a resistance to KE rounds. Engineers had decided against NERA because it had been decided that the Hyena would not be used in a position with following infantry. In that case, the ERA’s explosive reaction would kill the infantry along with the KE rounds, but military analyst do not believe this would be the case. This middle layer of Kactus-3 ERA is noted as around 300mm RHA.

Consequently, the entire armor rating, at its strongest point, would have a nominal RHA value of 1,200mm against KE rounds, and somewhere around 1,500mm against CE rounds. Although this is a relatively high armored rating, matching that of several other main battle tanks on the field, the armor is also rated as relative light, giving that added advantage.

[Armament]
The Hyena's main armament is comprised of a single 120mm electro-thermal chemical cannon, with electro-magnetic rifling, giving it a much stronger punch, as opposed to a standard smooth bore gun, or even a standard electro-thermal chemical cannon. The 120mm ETC-EM is enshrouded in a thermal protection layer, which reduces jamming and overheating, as well as the consequent recoil, although neither is the recoil that strong considering that the major propellant is an electro-magnetic force.

The Hyena’s main gun incorporates the standard Macabee fire and control system, called Brass. The new fire and control system, dubbed 'Brass', is the new top notch of said systems, developed by General Dynamics (Canada) and expanded upon by Macabee engineers. It includes Multi-Role Sensor Suite, Multi-Sensor Integration, Integrated Sensor/TA Suite, Virtual Immersive, Environment (AVTB)\, Neuroholographic ATD/R, Immersive Visualization. Moreover, the new system has both a low altitude RADAR and LIDAR system which has capabilities of tracking and giving firing solutions for up to twenty different targets at up to four thousand meters for the LIDAR and up to eleven thousand meters for the RADAR (although, of course, a gun doesn't necessarily have the power nor the type of shell to reach that far, and of course, that doesn't mean that the area between you and the enemy tank if full of large rocks that can disrupt your shell and its vector). The LIDAR uses a Gaussian transmitter, which is right now the most advanced LIDAR transmitter developed by the United States. Of course, this fire and control system also uses thermal imaging, and of course, infra-red imaging.

The sighting and vision systems are fitted according to the customer country's mission requirements. The commander's station is fitted with an optional panoramic sight and six episcopes fitted with a switch for gun and episcope alignment. The gunner's station is equipped with a day and night sight.

The standard shell used for the roles taken on by the Hyena is a depleted uranium SABOT, although the “shoe” has been given six magnetic rails – three on either side – to allow the electro-magnetic force to continue pushing it through the gun using what is known as the Lorentz Force, a very common force in electro magnetic technology.

The Hyena also has a single 12.7 single barrel close-in weapons system designed to counter rocket propelled grenades and most anti-tank missile systems. It has been proven to stop a Dragon type anti-tank missile, and is thought to have the ability to stop more advance missiles, even missiles like the Javelin or its international equivalents. It uses a separate Gaussian transmitter with a range of about two hundred meters to track incoming anti-tank guided and unguided missiles. The CIWS, or ACIWS, is automated and has a three hundred and sixty rotational view.

[Crew]
The Hyena has a crew of three, including the driver, commander and gunner. All three compartments are separated from each other, although every compartment has perfect accessibility to a intra-tank radio, allowing crew members to communicate with each other. The commander also has an inter-tank radio system allowing him to communicate with fellow Wolverines and other vehicles on the same radio wave frequency.

The driver’s compartment is by far the largest, although the commander has his compartment directly on the top, looking onto the vehicle’s front armor, which is designed to allow the commander a one hundred eighty degree view – the rest is completed by four LCD screens connected to the same cameras that he driver’s six LCDs screens are connected to. The loader’s compartment is smaller, although it is made larger by a protected shell compartment which holds thirty-six SABOT rounds.

The top of the Hyena is convex, giving the Hyena one the highest crew comfort ratings, and it doesn’t, unlike in many Soviet vehicles, give the Hyena any higher of a profile.

[Weight and Other Statistics]
The Hyena weighs fifty-four tons, making it the lightest Macabee/Hailandkill vehicle on the market. The principle contribution to the weight is the armor and the engine, as well as the main gun. It also has a maximum velocity of eighty kilometers per hour using a quicker gear group, although it isn’t expected to top over forty kilometers per hour in a standard combat situation.

[Cost]
The Hyena’s sell price has been rated at 10 million USD.



[Hailandkill, if you want to revise anything telegram me or find me on AIM or just state it here. If you think anything needs addition I will add it.

Others, this design is subject to change upon my own or Hailandkill's interests, or the objections of others. Please respect that. People who purchase this design prior to a change are assumed that their design remains the most up to date, regardless of when they bought it, unless it's specifically a seperate design, which it most likely won't be.

Edit: I had kept the original name, the Hyena, in the description, so I had to change it to the new name, since the Wolverine is the name of my light tank.]

[OOC: Looks good Mac. The braking system makes it turn even faster than other tanks, and the gun could punch through alot. I love the fact that by the time this thing is on the side of your tank and has blown the enemy tank away his turret probably hasnt gotten around to you yet. Good job, and im on AIM for a while today for BSing/that rifle I was talking about.

[OOC: I'll confirm this one OOCly. It's all good - we'll both produce to supply him as fast as possible, and he can pay me in segments, or whenever he gets all the money together.]

[Note: I took the liberty to make it nicer and use Isselmere's method of bolding most important systems. For future reference, this bomber was based off the B-2, Avro Vulcan, and other information based off extensive Wiki searching, and consequent googling of information.]

[GLI-34 Albatross Heavy Bomber]

[Project Information]
The GLI-34 Albatross is the second attempt of the Empire to design and mass produce a heavy bomber. The first design, the MAA-1C, unfortunately, was highly unreliable, and extremely obsolete. Consequently, upon the rise of Fedor I to the throne of the Empire, and the War of Golden Succession, with threats of military actions in foreign soil, an Imperial order placed funds for the research and development of a new long range, heavy bomber.

The original project was handed to Luftkrieg; however, after their initial reluctance, and then their eventual postponing of the design, the final project was awarded to a brand new aerial company, Golden Luftwaffe Industries.

It took GLI a total of two years to put together the technology required for the Albatross; nonetheless, the end result was an extremely qualified bomber, with an extremely modern façade. GLI’s GLI-34 is perhaps one of the bombers with the most quality, throughout the world, although such generalities would be impossible to verify. Regardless, the Albatross will remain the mainstay bomber of the Luftwaffe for years to come, and has been marketed as an extremely good purchase for any nation – especially since the Second Empire of the Golden Throne does not have a blacklist, and ships armaments to any nation willing to pay the price at hand.

The Albatross’ design has included the inclusion of several technologies repeatedly excluded in other’s bomber projects. Regardless, much of it is standard electronics and avionics, which only add to the luxury of the Albatross as a first class heavy bomber aircraft. However, the Albatross should not be considered an equal to others with similar electronics and aviation, as the Albatross also includes several of its own innovations, and most of the systems included have been improved in some way.

During the first year of production GLI received a single order for a hundred aircraft from the OberKommando des Luftwaffe. It’s expected that GLI will receive enough orders to gain an extreme profit, especially from foreign quarters. Thus, it is expected that the GLI-34 is to be an extremely successful design in the near future.

[Cockpit and Avionics]
The cockpit is designed for two crew members, the pilot and his co-pilot. The main electronics system within the cockpit is the electronic flight instrumentation system (EFIS), designed using a liquid crystal matrix (AMLCD), which has been provided by Rockwell Collins Industries. The EFIS is part of the glass cockpit, showing all information vital to the well being of the Albatross, including, the aircraft’s situation, position and progress.

The aircraft’s system’s conditions and performance of the engines is shown on the Engines Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS). EICAS has replaced all mechanical gauges and other such systems used on older designed. Furthermore, EICAS displays information on a need to know basis, although the pilot and his co-pilot have the possibility of investigating certain information, without EICAS displaying it automatically.

The Albatross also includes an Altitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), which uses a three axis system which displays altitude, heading and yaw, to the crew. AHRS is made up of accelerometers and magnetometers; the former measures acceleration and the effects of gravity – the latter measures the Earth’s magnetic fields.

The Air Data Computer included within the glass cockpit determines altitude, velocity, and altitude trend, rather than individual instruments.

The Albatross has a transponder underneath the nose of the aircraft, which receives codes from IFF RADARs and flight control systems. This transponder, however, should not be confused with the short range LIDAR transponder located nearby, which is for system defense.

The landing systems use a radio,microwave and differential global positioning system (DGPS), which allows the bomber to land with the aid of satellites. The obstacle warning system (LOAM) is a navigational aid system designed to protect the Albatross from potential dangerous obstacles in its flight path, especially when landing.

The Head-up Display (HUD) offers thirty degrees view horizontally, by twenty-five degrees vertically. The head-up display screen is flanked by four Up-Front Display (UFP) screens, built as active matrix liquid crystal screens. This net of display systems is the primary artery of the integrated control panel (ICP) which allows the pilot to change data for communications, navigation and auto-pilot settings. Underneath the integrated control panel is the Primary Multi-Function Display (PMFD), which gives the pilot another “God’s Eye View” of the environment (the first being the much larger EFIS).

Finally, for navigational purposes, the Albatross uses a tactical air navigational system (TACAN).

[Electronic Systems]
The Albatross includes a bi-static phased array RADAR on the Albatross’ nose and tail apertures, giving it a three hundred and sixty degree scan, burning through 5th Generation stealth at around three hundred kilometers distance. The bi-static phased array RADAR needs no physical movement; instead it’s controlled by phase-shifters, which change the degree of the beam within nanoseconds. This system is matched by an infra-red search and track system, (IRST) which uses infra-red technology to track heat signatures for up to one hundred kilometers. The latter system is completely passive.

The Albatross also includes a RADAR megalith, including an X-band RADAR, which denotes the RADAR’s frequency. This is joined with next generation radar (NEXRAD) which includes a network of small Doppler RADARs, and the improved polarimetric RADAR, which adds vertical polarization in order to know what exactly is reflecting the signal back.

The Albatross has been fitted with an inertial navigation system (INS), as well as a an Doppler RADAR Velocity Sensor (DVS).

The Albatross also includes a light detection and ranging system, (LIDAR) which is one of the most advance in the world – this, GLI could say for sure. The Albatross’ system is based on a transponder and receiver, beside that of the IFF transponder, which uses a Gaussian transmitter system to transmit LIDAR waves. The Gaussian transmitter is based on two electrical fields sending electrically charged photonic waves to bounce off targets and have active measurements on its velocity and location. The advantage of this LIDAR system is that the active RADAR only needs to gain a location on an object once before the LIDAR can take over, meaning a bomber can turn off its active RADAR to reduce its signature. The Albatross’ LIDAR uses Doppler LIDAR in order to keep track of an object’s velocity, as well as a LIDAR range finder.

The Albatross features a global positioning system (GPS), which although doubles as avionics, also allows the bomber to drop munitions under satellite guidance, allowing for much great accuracy.

For countermeasures the Albatross features an Advance Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasure System (AIDECM), which uses both noise jamming, deception jamming, and blip enhancement. The Albatross’ AIDECM also includes the use of chaff, flares and soids accordingly, having a dispenser behind the hard points

[Airframe]
The airframe of the Albatross’ most important statistical feature is the fact that most angles are at fifty-six degrees. More importantly, most of the aircraft is covered by a glass medium, which acts as a subsequent polarizer, which is much more effective more refracting light waves (thus RADAR waves). Most of the information to complete this project accurately was committed to by a physicist named Sir David Brewster, who has provided Brewster’s Angle for stealth mechanisms even in the 21st century.

The Albatross also has a remarkably small RADAR cross section (RCS), much like the Avro Vulcan had in its time, and now the F-117. Brewster’s angles are reinforced using corner reflectors perpendicular to the RADAR wave. The aircraft also includes a layer of RADAR absorbent material (RAM), which is formed of a composition between honeycomb RAM, black absorbent RAM, and foam absorbers. This groundbreaking design of RAM has allowed the aircraft to absorb between 3MHz to 6 GHz. This means that OTHR designed RADAR systems can no longer pick up the Albatross, allowing it a more advance stealth feature.

The frame itself is designed using an aluminum based super alloy (NiAl), a third generation crystal alloy (RENE N6), titanium, cobalt, steel, and interlaced iron, as well as a zirconium-hafnium alloy. This allows for a relatively light airframe, but also extremely strong in all respects.

[Engines]
The Albatross is equipped with six 40,000 pound force (lbf) turbofan engines, integrated into the wing, and heavily laden with ultra-modern infra-red signature suppressants (IRS) lining the engines and all other major heat outtakes.

The engine’s turbine blades use a single crystal alloy, while the turbojet itself is lined with Thymonel 8, a third generation crystal super alloy. This latter super alloy has been known for excellent heat absorbance, and even more excellent resistance against a potentially harmful environment.

The Albatross’ engines are designed to operate at 70% of design maximum, to conserve fuel during throttling procedures, since turbojets have the unfortunate characteristic that they do not throttle efficiently.

[Armaments]
The Albatross has the capabilities of carrying up to twenty-seven thousand two hundred and fifteen kilograms (sorry about the shift in units), translating into sixty thousand pounds. This can include everything from High Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles (HARM), Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM), supersonic and hypersonic cruise missiles, Joint Stand-off Weapons (JSOW), Joint Air-to-Surface Stand-off Missiles (JASSM), and the Wind Compensated Munitions Dispenser (WCMD).

To allow different mixes of weaponry the Albatross includes a Generic Weapons Interface System (GWIS).

In short, the Albatross can carry almost anything in existence that does not exceed the weight limit, including all Kriegzimmer missile products.

Each weapon bay is based off a rotary launcher and a quadruple bomb rack system, allowing the Albatross to drop munitions quickly and efficiently. Notwithstanding, the Albatross carries three separate bomb bays.

Panzerfaust X-9/Tagus Anti-Tank Missile
http://show.imagehosting.us/show/1160119/0/nouser_1160/T0_-1_1160119.PNG
[Drawn by Velkya]

The Tagus Anti-Tank Missile, also known as the Panzerfaust X-9 to Riptide Monzarc, was a joint creation for the purpose of the defense of infantry columns in wartime exercises. Although the Golden Empire already fielded the multi-purpose Ebro anti-tank missile it was decided that it was much too flawed for continued use, consequently the Tagus was researched and developed. The Tagus is equipped with an imaging infrared system (I2R), and is a fire and forget missile. It’s also designed with a “soft launch” for use within buildings, and it protects the crew from the enemy’s line of sight. The Tagus is a top attack missile, where armor normally has its major weak point.

The central part of the Tagus is its Command Launch Unit (CLU) with a trigger mechanism, and a day/night surveillance mechanism, as well as target acquisition programming. The Tagus, during nighttime operation, has night vision sight (NVS) giving it a range of some 2.5 kilometers. However, for daytime operations it is equipped with new generation sighting technology.

The new sights are built around a single Cassagrian telescope type device, with internal charge coupled devices (CCD), which allow advance recollection of photons and photonic waves. The light collected by the Cassagrian telescope cannot be seen with the unaided human eye, consequently, the image is seen through a video camera, although using fiber optic cables, the imagines is basically instantaneous. This is the same basic system as used in ultra-modern photonic masts, except that the tube and the prisms are much smaller, and this uses a CCD, while the photonic mast does not. The range given by this new sighting, dubbed, Most Advanced Sighting Capabilities (MADSIC), is just about twelve kilometers.

The missile, the Tagus, is based on a disposable launch tube assembly, battery coolant units (BCU), and the missile itself. The missile’s range has been given five kilometers, although preferred range is just about two kilometers. The system, without the missile, weighs just about eight kilograms. The warhead’s weight is 12kg; however it enjoys a much larger fuel deposit than the standard Javelin and Milan. However, this latter point extends the missile’s total weight, when fully fueled, to about twenty-three kg, giving the entire system a weight of thirty-one kilograms.

The warhead uses a high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) form, with a tandem shape, giving it a penetration of 700mm + of standard armor. It’s effectiveness against explosive reactive armors and ceramic composite armors are not known, although it is expected to be about the same, since the missile was tested on an old Soviet T-72 export tank.

For accuracy the missile uses a computerized graphic positioning system (CGPS), which basically maps the enemy-tank (based on information using the MADSIC) on a liquid crystal matrix (AMLCD) screen. From there, the missile can use its own personalized acquisition and targeting system (ATS), which is a union of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and infra-red detection systems (IRDS). This communion of three technologies makes the Tagus extremely accurate, and extremely deadly.

To: Persia
The Seydlitz would take at least 3.7 months to complete in a fully intergrated shipyard. However, using multiple shipyards, and building multiple cruisers at the same time, would technically shorten that time span. The rest really only has to do with the statistics in the catalogue page and with an army's style. Is there anything else specific that you would like to know?

No, that is all thank you. We are happy to continue with the purchase of plans for the Sydlitz Class Cruiser.

Kriegzimmer News


Kriegzimmer has decided to make public its decision to release a series of naval and ground mines which will be able to replace those mines which have been deemed obsolete by the most modern of armies. Consequently, Kriegzimmer has the idea of ushering a new era of cheap warfare, especially opening its arms to the newer nations, or those nations who wish to have an effective defense without putting too much of their budget into it.

Some of the mines ready for release include the ADvanced NAval MINE (ADNAMINE), designed to replace the enCAPsulated TORpedo, designed by the United States. There will also be the introduction of more advance naval mines designed to sink surface warships that work using indentification friend-or-foe (IFF) technology, perfect for the mining of small straights and such. Ground mines include the compact ANti TAnk (ANTA) mine, and ADvanced ANti-Personnel (ADNA) mine.

Kriegzimmer has also merged with the sole nuclear technology company within the Empire, Beda Fromm Un-Orthodox Warfare Systems (BFUWS), and has made public that it will release an array of inter-continental ballistic missiles, small standard hydrogen bombs, and other weapons of mass destruction.

Enjoy.

Corbulo Self-Propelled 155mm Field Gun

http://www.army-technology.com/projects/atmos/images/Atmos_1.jpg

The Corbulo 155mm Field Gun was designed to give the Empire a long range field artillery piece that could move on it's own around the field, without necessity of towing it. In other words, it would be a design which would be mounted on a heavy transport truck, but instead of being able to disattach it, and then attach it once again, it would fixed onto the bed of the truck, and would be one hundred percent automated and controlled from within the truck. In that way, it would provide more range than a self-propelled howitzer, and would be able to move on its own, unlike other field gun artillery pieces.

The primary weapon of the Corbulo is her 155mm 52 calibre L/15 artillery piece, with electro-magnetic rifling, allowing for greater velocity, greater force, and consequently, greater range. The gun is capable of firing Extended Range Full Bore Base Bleed (ERFB-BB) rounds, Explosively Formed Penetrator (EFP) rounds, rocket assisted projectiles (RAP), Velocity enhanced long range artillery projectile (VLAP), as well as other standard NATO munitions. The projectile most commonly used by the Golden Throne remains the VLAP round for its extended range, and it's cheaper production cost as opposed to the RAP round.

The maximum range of the Corbulo, given the round, is seventy-five kilometers. This can be considerably shorter, however, using a standard NATO munition, which gives around thirty-five kilometers range.

The Corbulo uses an array of systems for fire and control. It's primary system is a global positioning system - survey (GPS-S), which consists of receivers, antennas, software, and hardware that collectively process data from the orbiting satellite. The GPS-S works on selective Availability (SA) and Anti-Spoofing (AS) modes (Y-Code).

The piece has an additional set of hydraulics in the rear to allow elevating the gun centered around the back, positioning it over the cabin of the truck, allowing it to engage ground targets selectively, making it the perfect heavy anti-tank weapon. Moreover, it's fitted with a hydraulic power pack for operation of the load assist systems, for aiming and for operation of the spades.

The recoil length is expected at 900mm to 1,100m length. The system uses a horizontal sliding breech opening to the right and is fitted with a self-sealing metal obturating ring. The system is fitted with two pneumatic equilibrators, single cylinder hydraulic buffer and hydro-pneumatic recuperator.

The first mode of firing allows three rounds per twenty seconds, and sustained firing is around seventy rounds every sixty minutes. This is substantially higher than most field artillery pieces.

The advanced fire and control system (AFCS) gives target information, automatic elevation angles and traverse. It uses advance computing technology, including heavy memory sizes and high RAM numbers, in order to compute as fast as possible. It also can work hand in hand with ground and sky based RADAR systems, as well as down-looking LIDAR systems, for positioning. The gun is considered to be highly accurate.

The reloading system is semi-automated, although it does allow for a smaller crew for the gun. The truck holds a total of thirty-five rounds, but a secondary transport truck can continously supply the Corbulo.

It's fitted onto a 8x8 Ebro Heavy Towing Truck, rated at 335 horsepower, and 2,200 RPM, with a V12 diesel engine. The truck's cabin is armored and protected against small arms fire. The truck uses a two stick transmission, with a hydraulically operated brake and steering system. It focuses more on par than on horsepower, but it has been rated to go a maximum of sixty-five kilometers per hour.

Crew: 2
Maximum Range: 75 kilometers
Cost: 650,000 USD

[OOC: Another amazing product Mac.]

We would like to order 300 of these new artillery pieces for our army, to form a new artillery division.

thank you the money has been wired also we would also request a costum aircraft that is able to do VTOL has a climb rate of 40.000feet/minute, stealth, active cloaking, and able to do the job of a multirole fighter, also we wish it would also incoperate : the pinpoint laser defence, anti EMP defence, has a range of 3000 miles(without drop tanks), the ability to cruise at mach 3.0 and hypersonic capabilities, has a ceiling of 70.000 feet, and it can perform water landing , and it incoperates the sweptwing design, and also any other design that you might be able to fit in the plane.we have a budget of 5 trillion $/ or more.

we also want to buy an additional 5 Zealous class Super Dreadnought with full aircraft = $2.000.000.000.000
the money for the production rights for sledgehammer missile and samson , also the dreadnought has been wired to you

Shawn Tawner,
Angelonisia minister of defence

To: Shawn Tawner, Angelonisia

We will work on that specified fighter for your country, however it will take us some time, and so expect it within a couple of years (I would say an IC week). As for the Super Dreadnoughts, they will arrive within three years.

Again, although we will begin immediately designing the aircraft of your needs, it will take us some time. Thank you for your wait.

This is my first design for you, hope its all right, can you give me any suggestions and i hope you dont mid me using your technology for this project, also if possible could you add it as one of your designs as noone ever buys the hosted designs

The Ocean Class Helicopter Assault Ship

http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/7002/hmsocean3bc.png (http://imageshack.us)

The Ocean class Helicopter Assault and landing ship was the result of Spizania's need for a relatively cheap vessel that could carry one thousand troops and there personal armaments as well as still fight effectively.

Propulsion: The Ocean has nuclear reactor propulsion, using one Valhalla nuclear reactor. The Valhalla nuclear reactor incorporate Baldur meltdown technology. The Baldur meltdown inhibitor uses sensors placed selectively inside the hull, close to the room of the nuclear reactors, to sense internal breaches, either by water pressure, or enemy pressure (missiles and other projectiles). Consequently, in case of a breech the Baldur is able to automatically shut down the Valhalla nuclear reactor as quickly as possible, thus avoiding a catastrophic nuclear reaction. The nuclear reactor can propel the Ocean at over twenty-five knots.

The Valhalla nuclear reactor use three screws to push the Ocean at the velocity wanted. Each screw has five blades, and are of medium size. However, in order to decrease cavitation the Ocean has three MACCAVAB (MACabee CAVitation Absorbing) devices, which absorb the popping noises that bubbles make around the hull and the screws (known as cavitation). This technology was first begun by the United States Navy, but since then enhanced and improved by the Macabee Imperial Naval Engineering Corp under the pay of Valhalla Naval National, the sole naval production provider for the Macabee Navy. This makes the ship much more quiet when under operations, giving it a certain edge over enemy submarines.



Armaments:-

Praetorian V SAM System: The Praetorian V is a massive improvement over the Praetorian IV system, which was basically copied off the Bisonic S-500 SAM system. The Praetorian V should provide better accuracy, as well as better quality, to the consumers of this product. Using a twenty rocket launch system, four rows of five missiles, the Praetorian V SAM system can provide massive fire support in case of massive bomber, or missile raids, allowing the Oceans to put up a quality defense against belligerents, and ensuring survival on the deadly waters. Each Praetorian V missile can be interchanged by another SAM, assuming that the chosen SAM is smaller, or the same size. The Praetorian V is rather small, and uses either a conventional engine to engage sea-skimmers, or a scramjet engine to seek and destroy conventional high flying missiles, or aircraft.

The Praetorian V SAM system incorporates the MLT-1 LIDAR system onboard each Ocean class Battleship, which as a range of about 165 miles (or about 300kms). The MLT-1 LIDAR system uses normal LIDAR, which uses a laser to detect the range of the target, as well as Doppler LIDAR which is used to detect the velocity of the target. DIAL is also used to detect chemical composition of the target. The Praetorian Vs are also hooked up to the MRT-1/N RADAR system used by Macabee Naval vessels. The MRT-1 is based off the TENEX SPY-6 RADAR system, however uses a larger power box, as well as a larger computer network to catch enemy flyers at 700kms. However, the MRT-1 is restricted to altitude of over thirty meters in height (around 100 miles), and for lower altitudes (100 miles to 1,000 miles) is severely restricted in range. The MRT-4 RADAR system is used for sea-skimming missiles, or low flying aircraft. It uses radio waves to track below the minimum range of the MRT-1. The advantages in having two systems do what one could do are that now we have specialization of jobs, and the MRT-4 can focus on one thing, while the MRT-1 focuses on another. To support this massive computer system the CPU uses ln2 coolant to over clock a twenty gigahertz system to thirty gigahertz.

The actual Praetorian V has its own CPU installed on the backside of the missile, above the scramjet engine, and it uses its own MLT-2 LIDAR system, which has a range of two kilometers, and is used for final phase target location purposes. The Praetorian V missile uses the computers to still use the ship based MRT-1, MRT-4 and the MLT-1 systems. This provides a very accurate and effective surface to air missile system. The Praetorian V can be used as an anti-missile, as well as an anti-air SAM.

For SAM purposes each Ocean sports twenty Praetorian V batteries, giving the Ocean the firepower to defend with four hundred SAMs in each volley. The Praetorian V system uses an advanced reload system using hydraulic propulsion to lift the missile out of stock racks and push into the barrel of the Praetorian V launch platforms. Each Ocean class is outfitted with four thousand Praetorian V missiles in stocks, giving each SAM two hundred Praetorian V missiles, useful for ten volleys each SAM.

Main Guns: The Ocean has a forward triple platform 12” rail gun, with a range of about two hundred and fifty miles (ca. 2020 technology). The Ocean has another dual platform 8” rail gun in the rear end of the ship, to provide secondary fire support. However, the Confederacy rarely use this for offensive purposes, instead relying on missiles, which give the Confederacy a greater range

SONARs: The Ocean class Destroyer uses the Poseidon SONAR system, which is capable of detecting louder shipping at up to one hundred kilometers away at the right circumstances, and advanced submarines at a maximum range of ten kilometers, burning through anechoic tiling quite easily. The Poseidon is considered one of the better SONAR systems used presently. The Poseidon is also programmed to detect the “black hole” effect which submarines using MHD have; making it easier to detect MHD propelled submarines.

RADARs: These ships use the MRT-1 RADAR system to detect enemy aerial assets anywhere from 120 kilometers minimum to 700 kilometers maximum; depending on the circumstances, stealth levels, and altitude. The MRT-1 use a very powerful super computer and several screens to detect, filter, and portray enemy aerial assets. Based of the TENEX SPY-6 this well built system is, again, one of the better ones in use around the world.

Additionally, These ships integrate the MRT-4 RADAR system which was built to focus on sea-skimmers. RADAR radio waves are able to catch both missiles and other objects, such as waves, and filter what is a wave, and what is a missile; and quite easily, and through regular technology. Simply, by using a supercomputer and C based program, the computers can detect range, vector, and velocity – hence, it can distinguish what is a missile or aircraft, and what isn’t. A wave doesn’t last at the same altitude, velocity and vector for ever – the wave falls short quite quickly – while a missile lasts in the air for quite a while (of course). Hence, it wasn’t too difficult to design a system capable of picking sea-skimmers up.

Finally, the Ocean class includes an MLT-1 LIDAR system which as a range of about 250 kilometers (165 miles). The MLT-1 uses regular LIDAR to detect range, Doppler LIDAR to detect velocity, and DIAL LIDAR to detect chemical composition.

The Ocean class also has a single of the brand new Conhort Close-in Weapons Systems. The Conhort uses a variant of the GAU-8 Avenger cannon. The GAU-8 itself weighs 281 kg (620 lb), but the complete weapon, with feed system and drum, weighs 4,029 lb (1,830 kg) with a maximum ammunition load. The entire system is 19 ft 10.5 in (5.05 m) long. The magazine can hold 1,350 rounds, although 1,174 is the more normal load-out. Muzzle velocity with armor-piercing incendiary (API) ammunition is 3,250 ft/s (988 m/s), almost the same as the substantially lighter M61 Vulcan.

The Conhort's system consists of an autocannon and an advanced radar which tracks incoming fire, determines its trajectory, then aims the gun and fires in a matter of seconds. The system is fully automatic, needing no human input once activated. The kinetic energy of the 30mm rounds is sufficient to destroy any missile or shell. The system can also be deployed to protect airfields. However, like the Dutch Goalkeeper and the American Phalanx the Conhort is a last-chance weapon, although considerably accurate. It uses a seperate, smaller, LIDAR Gaussian Transmitter and RADAR tranmitter in order to lock on potential targets and blow them out of the air. Several advantages the Cohort has over the Phalanx system are that it is more accurate, it has a greater kenitic energy impact, more tracking, it's reloaded under the deck, and it can operate under three modes: Auto, Semi-Auto and Manual allowing full operator operability.

For underwater defenses the Ocean has a single ASHUM gun, which basically work as underwater close-in weapon systems. The magazines can hold 1,200 rounds and they're reloaded in compartments placed above the guns. The ASHUM guns placed on the Ocean are trained through the ship's SONAR, as well as blue-green Guassian LIDAR transmitters placed for the individual guns.

Aircraft The Ocean class can support upto 25 Lu-25 Black Mariahs and 8 Transport helicopters it is provided with adapted SeaKing IIs but these can be replaced by other helciopters included attack units. These helicopters are used to land the troops in a combat situation adn to carry suplies aboard.

[OOC: It's been generally accepted that that fact can be ignored, since it would be completely useless to build a ship within twelve years, because by then, realistically, technology would have changed so much that the ship would be largely obsolete. Nonetheless, a dreadnought has always taken about a year to contruct, consequently, something a tad larger, wouldn't take ten years, it would take more like two or three - with NationStates rates, that could easily translate into one and a a half.]

we would also request a costum aircraft that is able to do VTOL has a climb rate of 20.000feet/minute, stealth, active cloaking, and able to do the job of a multirole fighter, also we wish it would also incoperate : the pinpoint laser defence, anti EMP defence, has a range of 5000 miles(without drop tanks), the ability to cruise at mach 2.6 and hypersonic capabilities, and it incoperates the sweptwing design.


To: Angelonisia

Unfortunately, taking a second look at your order, we find the job impossible. For example, EMP hardening would add severe amounts of mass to the aircraft, reducing the velocity. Laser defense systems are also a tad impossible, since there's no superalloy that has the ability to withstand the temperature of a laser which has the ability to burn through the missile (the THEL doesn't have the power to take down missiles, just unarmored rockets). Furthermore, without drop tanks a VTOL with a five thousand mile range is a bit extreme, except if you're talking about two thousand five hundred miles out, and then the rest to get back home. Active cloaking? The closest thing we can do is active RADAR cancellation, but that within itself is also impossible, and would be a worthless addition to the aircraft.

We apologize for not being able to carry out the order. The best we can offer is the Lu-25 Mariah. Again, many apologies.

EXP-1 [Export version -1]

http://www.area51zone.com/aircraft/thumbnails/switchblade11.jpg

The EXP-1 a versatile aircraft designed by Golden Luftwaffe Industries (GLI) for the nation of Angelonisia. Although mostly described by Angelonisia's technological department, the aircraft was also a large part manufactured with Kriegzimmer products, although the entire aircraft is still possible to upgrade with one's own technology.

The aircraft was produced to be extremely effecient on velocity, hitting velocities that can only be dreamed of by other aircraft, and by mixing that with stealth features, although stealth, when going supersonic, is largely impossible to have. Nonetheless, the EXP-1 is destined to be one of Angelonisia's finest aircraft for a very long time.

This product will not sell for Kriegzimmer, however, Angelonisia, as property owner, has the full right to export the aircraft on its own. Furthermore, the Golden Throne will not construct any EXP-1 aircraft for their own puporses, explaining the export tag to the aircraft's unofficial title.

Can you design a new attaack aircraft with one of those 30mm rotary cannons and tons of AtG misslile points, (Specifically to blast apart W@W Iraqi tanks), it wouldhelp if it could keep up with Lu-05s while fully laden and to i get the produciton rights for both W@W and normal NS?

[OOC: Yea, give me today to do it.]

Because we do not have a "modern" tank force as we would like, mostly just a 500,000 force of old surplus tanks from other nations, we would like to purchases 100,000 Panzerkampfwaggen XI BredtSverd Main Battle Tank's.

On top of that, we would like 25,000 SOV-06 Infantry Fighting Vehicle's.

912.5 Billion USD

To: McKagan

We're glad that you came to us to build up a more modern armored force. A hundred thousand BredtSverd is a large order, and almost unheard of, considering our own tank force is seriously smaller than that. Regardless, it can be issued, although it will take time. We can export five thousand BredtSverds per month, along with five thousand SOV-06 IFVs, meaning that the IFVs will be all sent within five months, while the armor will take twenty months. We hope that his shipment system is fine with your nation, for it is as much as we can do.

OOC: Is that bad, I mean, godmod-y like? Because my army doesn't really have masses of infantry like some. We've basically got the Air Force (with a small security force, that's effective), the large navy, and the rest of our armed forces are special air cavalry and/or amphibious units.

[Spizania: Here it is.]

EXP-2 [Export version -2]

The EXP-2 export ground attack aircraft designed by Golden Luftwaffe Industries (GLI) for the nation of Spizania. The idea for the design came through a need in the Spizanian army and airforce for a way to deter mass amounts of armor on the battlefield. Indeed, Spizania's primary description called for an aircraft that could carry enough anti-tank missiles that could blast Armacor's armor from the ground. The subsequent design was made so that the aircraft would remain slow, like the A-10, but sturdier and with a greater mass, allowing for a greater payload.

It was designed to loiter around the battlefield for an extended amount of time, and has a relatively low ceiling. However, it will prove to be quite a design and quite an aircraft, especially for the needs specified by Spizania.

This new design switched the GAU-8 Avenger for a much more accurate and much more powerful gun, the Conhort Gatling gun, used by Macabee ships as CIWS and such. It also carried a more aerodynamic version of the Tagus anti-tank missile, the only difference between the shape of the projectile and the addition of several programs to coordinate attacks between the guidance of the aircraft and the guidance of the missile. The capabilities of this new Tagus, called the T-1/B, remain the same.

In short, the EXP-2 has the chance of a long life time, and will prove to be very effective in its killing job.

[OOC: I've seen people deploy up to 80,000 tanks with a population of around 1 billion, and they justify it by saying their three times the size of the United States. I wouldn't mind, as long as you don't use all one hundred thousand on a single person. Of course, some could be unmanned - you know, replacements for lost units, etc. It just depends on how you use them in a RP.]

OOC: I'd never use that many tanks in an offensive op against someone, i'd give them a chance. But if I was being invaded, i'd have monkeys and snakes driving them around.

On top of that, I've got 500,000 of an old Leafanistani designed tank sitting around.

So yeah, I've got alot of spares.

The Allied States requests a product a little different than the rest of your designs that we have seen. Corzia has only 100 nuclear missiles and does not wish to build more, but we would also like to have a deterant much similar to that of the standard ICBM. The Corzian Special Weapons Project Division of the Joint Chiefs has done research on "superguns" and has concluded that they would be the best way to get the required power mentioned earlier.

The only design we know about was developed in the 1990's by Gerald Bull for the Iraqi's (OOC: Look to Wikipedia if you don't know what I am talking about). We would be willing to set aside 300 000 000 000 USD for such an endeavor and would like the weapon to be able to hit any target on Earth, in theory at least.

We will take it, can i submit it to your Kriegzimmer storefront as the AT/GA-1
Sandstorm
With the nickname - "Tin opener" (Thats the nickname of the A-10 and its sounds pretty cool) for use on regular NS for now, il be selling it for W@W on the Royal Arabian Arms storefront, (about time i got something up there)
Will it take drop tanks, and can it be AtA refueled

Also can i have a VSTOL version and a carrier one (for supporting amphibious landings)
And also some kind of new stealth groudn attack aircraft similar to the F-117(is that right)

we are very happy with the design but we wanted some upgrade with the defence capabilities if the aircraft, we want the plane to be able to self destruct in case of crashing, captured, etc. we also want the aircraft to have some sort of system that can help the pilot incase the aircraft has to land in a short runway and can't VTOl, we would also like the plane to incoporate a pilot ejection system that can help the pilot to get to safety, like it can glide, or make the entire cockpit eject, and eguip it with a small compact RAM,SCRAM,or Turbofan engine so that the pilot can have a better chance of surviving (incase it's too hard we will also settle for the cockpit that can glide through the air), if all the ejection system is too imposible we will be glad that you can make it so that the pilot can glide after ejection.

We also have decided the name of the plane it would be called
"MRP-01 CROSSOVER"

Hello,

The majority of our nuclear units are destined to be put to sea aboard various SSBN's. We, however, have not been able to aquire a vessel fitting our specifications from a home grown company.

We would like to purchase 500 of your Cadiz class SSBN's for 400 billion USD.

This would be an incredibly interesting project to undertake, and because of this, Kriegzimmer has decided to agree to what was specified in your telegram to us. However, because it's a bit obscure to us, it might take a bit longer than our other projects. Nonetheless, we promise you the same amount of quality, and a weapon that will last a lifetime.

That's all fine, and we will add it to the storefront as the AT/GA-1 Sandstorm under the name of Spizania. As for the VSTOL version, just change the propulsion to include, reversable thrust vectoring to allow VSTOL operations, and we'll start on the stealth ground attack aircraft as soon as possible.

SCRAMjet engines are relatively impossible on a [MT] aircraft, as are RAMjet engines - they're great for missiles, but not for aircraft. We'll give the cockpit ejection system a small rocket system, and a parachute. Well do that, and the self destruct system as soon as possible.

Excelent, we are willing to increase funding as needed and we are offering any supplies that Kriegzimmer sees as nessecary for the growth of the project.

We have decided that the Corzian Special Forces Brigade should not be the only part of army equiped with the BDU-64, so we request 500 000 more Samsons.
Our total should be (with discount) 2 125 000 000 USD.
