We notice that you are doing a massive re-fitting of your military, and we are not ones to pass up an offer which presents itself, especially one such as this. Consequently, we are here to file our statistical listings of several of Kriegzimmer's finest products, designed and produced by Macabee armament companies in the Kriegzimmer conglomeration. We hope that you find it interesting enough for the likes of your military.
For your navy, and the needed aircraft carrier, we present to you our Indestructable class Aircraft Carrier:
Indestructable class Aircraft Carrier
Abstract:
The Indestructable class Aircraft Carrier is an improvement over the Model class Aircraft Carrier, ordered by Emperor Jonach I himself, first Emperor of the Second Empire of the Golden Throne. With the poor construction of the Model, especially concerning little compartmentalization and overstock of missiles, it was imperative that a new aircraft carrier which could rule the seas be built, especially when the new Elusive class Battleships had already been released for export.
The Macabee Kriegsmarine plans to invest for a total of twenty of these to be built within the next four years to replace the older Model class Aircraft Carriers, although the Models will still be available for export.
Hull and Skin Construction:
The Indestructable is designed as a trimaran ship, which consequently offers it protection from mass attack, including mines and torpedoes. Moreover, should the outer hull be breached the second hull would still have enough bouyance to stay afloat, giving the Indestructable class Aircraft Carrier a lifespan, and survivability rate, mirroring other aircraft carriers.
The hulls themselves are contructed of a polymer composite formed of titanium and steel fibers, as well as plastics and heavy and firm ceramics. The polymer composite is also laced with kevlar, which gives it yet more protection. The entire composite is designed in a matrix, which has been proven to be able to operate under stress, it is to say, the matrix adds toughness to the composite, and while some of the material used to construct the composite might have strong tensile strength, the matrix gives the armor a strong compressional strength, meaning it won't buckle under the pressure of a missile, or a shell. The matrix is further reinforced by epoxy resins, which can be used at higher temperatures. The main belt line of the ship has an actual measurement of four hundred millimeters of armor, with an RHA value of over three thousand five hundred millimeters. The main deck armor is composed of eighty and eight-tenths millimeters of armor, while the splinter deck armor is composed of twenty-five millimeters and the second deck armor of two hundred millimeters. The barbette is enshrouded by five hundred and eight actual millimeters of armor. Finally, the conning tower has an armored statistic of four hundred and fifty-seven millimeters of composite armor. This makes the Indestructable class somewhat heavier in armor than the Nimitz, with a much better RHA reading as it employs better composites.
The entire ship, fully equipped, displaces about one hundred and twenty thousand tons, making it one of the heaviest aircraft carriers around.
Armament:
The Indestructable class Aircraft Carrier also carried a total of ten surface to air missile batteries. 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 Indestructable 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 Indestructable, 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.
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 Indestructable carrier is outfitted with one thousand Praetorian V missiles in stocks, giving each SAM one hundred Praetorian V missiles, useful for five volleys each SAM.
The Indestructable also carries ten Loki ASROC systems. The Loki ASROC system is a ten tube 500mm torpedo launch system placed strategically around naval vessels which incorporate the system. The Loki ASROC can use the MAT-1 anti-torpedo, the MT-2 SuCav torpedo for short ranges, and the MT-3 water ramjet/pumpjet torpedo for long range use. Each Indestructablel carries one hundred of each type of torpedo, used in five different ASROC batteries placed on the battleship.
The Loki ASROC has an advanced material composition using THYMONEL 8, a third generation single crystal super alloy, as a coating on the steel launch platform. The THYMONEL 8 coating allows for the resistance to Hydrogen Embrittlement, and the heat of the missile booster. This allows for a rate of fire of all ten torpedoes in eight seconds time. A hydraulic reloading system can restock the Loki ASROC system in ten seconds time.
The Indestructable also has ten 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 Indestructable has sixteen ASHUM guns, 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 Indestructable are trained through the ship's SONAR, as well as blue-green Guassian LIDAR transmitters placed for the individual guns.
Aircraft:
The aircraft deck of the Indestructable class Aircraft Carrier has an overall length of four hundred meters, with a width of about eighty meters. The indestructable has eight aircraft elevators and eight catapults for launchings, giving the Indestructable quite a potential when it comes to putting out aircraft in emergency.
It carries a total of one hundred and twenty-five fighters, including Lu-05 Schlachten, Lu-12 Canaries, and MMA-D1 Reconaissance Aircraft. Heavy bombers can also run off the decks of an Indestructable, however, the Indestructable class is more limited in their carrying capacity concerning bombers.
Detection Devices:
The Indestructable 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 SOANR systems has been applauded before, and the Elusive is a testament to it.
The Indestructable 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 Indestructable also has a new thin line towed array called the TB-163, which is three times as long as the Indestructable 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 Indestructable 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 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 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.
Propulsion:
The Indestructable class Aircraft Carrier has eight Valhalla nuclear reactors, allowing the system to be propelled at a very fast velocity of 30 knots, although this speed is rarely used in war (a task force can only go as fast as its slowest ship). The Valhalla nuclear reactors 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 two Valhalla nuclear reactors as quickly as possible, thus avoiding a catastrophic nuclear reaction.
The two Valhalla nuclear reactors use six turbines and six shafts to push the Indestructable at the velocity wanted. However, in order to decrease cavitation the Indestructable has two 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 battleships much more quiet when under operations, although the battleships are still making noise.
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.(18) 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."(19)
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."(21) 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 (22) 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.(23)
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.(24) 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.(25)

As for your air force, and replacing your aging F-14s we have a great deal of aircraft to offer you. They are the following:
Lu-05 Air Superioty Aircraft
Abstract:
Although the Kondor was quite top of the line for air superiority aircraft Macabee industries decided to turn towards an independent research fighter for their own uses while continuing to export the MMA-A3 Falcon. Consequently, Macabee engineers have designed, and come out with, the new Lu-05 Air Superiority Fighter.
http://worldwarwiki.modernwarstudies.net/personal_images/bop.015.gif
Combat Systems:
The Lu-05 has thirteen wing hardpoints, capable of carrying what in the Macabee military are called 'missile clips', in which an Lu-05 can carry a total of twelve MTAAM-3 Predator air to air missiles. However, that is if, of course, no other ordnance is carried, which would be the most likely case. The wings are lined with a Rene N6 superalloy variant called Thymonel 8, used widely in Macabee turbines and engines for its missiles. Thymonel 8 has a tendency to have a low case of hydrogen enviroment embrittlement and does not burn or wear as easily, making it perfect for mass launchings of air to air missiles.
Moreover, the Lu-05 has two 20mm cannons mounded in blisters on either side of the fuselage. The cannons are powered by an internal motor generator, nick named the LuG-1 generator, which in turn powers dozens of large capacitors, bathed in water to give more permeability for the transfer of electrons, multiplying total power output by at least eighty.
Two internal hardpoints can carry up to 2,000 pounds worth of weight for bombs or extra missiles, or even extra fuel for extended air superiority missions.
The Lu-05 also has a single MAAMG (Macabee Anti-Air Missile Gun), dubbed 'Lunatic', as well as a undercompartment for flares and chaff. Moreover, it's armed with active RADAR jammer.

[Taken off Tyrandis' aircraft since he bought the original from the MMA-A3 Falcon]
The GEC-built Head-Up Display (HUD) offers a wide field of view (30 degrees horizontally by 25 degrees vertically) and serves as a primary flight instrument for the pilot.
There are six liquid crystal display (LCD) panels in the cockpit. These present information in full color and are fully readable in direct sunlight. LCDs offer lower weight and less size than the cathode ray tube (CRT) displays used in most current aircraft. The lower power requirements also provide a reliability improvement over CRTs. The two Up-Front Displays (UFDs) measure 3"x4" in size and are located to the left and right of the control panel.
The Integrated Control Panel (ICP) is the primary means for manual pilot data entry for communications, navigation, and autopilot data. Located under the glareshield and HUD in center top of the instrument panel, this keypad entry system also has some double click functions, much like a computer mouse for rapid pilot access/use.
The Primary Multi-Function Display (PMFD) is a 8"x8" color display that is located in the middle of the instrument panel, under the ICP. It is the pilot’s principal display for aircraft navigation (including showing waypoints and route of flight) and Situation Assessment (SA) or a "God's-eye view" of the entire environment around (above, below, both sides, front and back) the aircraft.
Three Secondary Multi-Function Displays (SMFDs) are all 6.25" x 6.25" and two of them are located on either side of the PMFD on the instrument panel with the third underneath the PMFD between the pilot's knees. These are used for displaying tactical (both offensive and defensive) information as well as non-tactical information (such as checklists, subsystem status, engine thrust output, and stores management)
Airframe
The airframe of the Lu-05 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 fifteen titanium ribs.
The airframe is also built with contour angles, in which RADAR waves bounce back in other directions, thus giving the Lu-05 a limited stealth feature, although it has been known that particularly powerful RADAR can look 'over' said features.
Stealth
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 airframe is also covered with a thin-layer of composite light-metallic materials, which in turn is covered with microscopic silica material that is placed to seperate LIDAR rays into opposite adjacent directions.
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.

Electronics
The Lu-05 is equipped with a carry-on RADAR, powered through another motor generator, which in turn runs its wires through a series of dozens of capacitors bathed in water, multiplying the power put out by the motor generator by at least eighty. In turn, the active RADAR can detect movements at over three hundred kilometers distance, equal to that of a MiG-31. Specifically, it's a multi-mode X-band pulse Doppler radar. The system consists of a single electronically-scanned Phased-Array RADAR antenna mounted in the nose and tail giving the Su-63 360 degree scanning capabilites.System can track 50 Targets and simultaeneously fire at 5.The NO-12M RADAR can also be integrated with AWAC or ground based RADAR systems to give it a total detection range of whatever the ground based RADAR is.
The Lu-05 is also equipped with a Gaussian LIDAR transmitter. How the Gaussian transmitter works is that it sets up two electrical planes, one charged positively, and one charged negatively. This, in turn, sets up an electron form, which charges the transmitter to direct a photon ray. The laser beam transmitted in turn hits an object and reports said object through electrical impulses, not reflection. A carbon computer onboard the Lu-05 distinguishes between inanimate (meaning, natural obstacles), friendly, and non-friendly objects in the sky. In order to reduce sucepbility to LIDAR falters in the clouds the DOPPLER LIDAR and DIAL use an infra-red imaging program.
The Lu-05 has a single three hundred and sixty degree rotating camera located under the nose of the aircraft, giving the pilot a full circle view of at least fifty kilometers distance.

Height: 6.3 meters
Wingspan: 13.2 meters
Length: 22 meters
Stall Speed: 120 kilometers per hour
Climb Rate: 28,000 meters per minute
Ceiling: 24,384 meters

Engines:
The Lu-05 has two Rivka Industry Turbofans lined with Thymonel 8, a RENE N6 superalloy. Thrust-vectoring nozzles provides STOL capabilities, 160 kN static thrust with 250 kN of afterburner. The Rivka turbofans give the Lu-05 a maximum velocity of Mach 2.8.

Lu-12 Canary Tactical Strike Fighter
http://worldwarwiki.modernwarstudies.net/personal_images/t4_ms.015.gif
Abstract:
The Lu-12 is a replacement aircraft for the antiquated Kondor, which was far too large for the missions of tactical strike is was assigned to. Moreover, the Lu-12 is designed for partial stealth, although it gives up much of the firepower the Kondor was equipped with.
Combat Systems:
The Lu-12 has four hardpoints on each wing, carrying a combat load of up to eight missiles on both wings, varying on the size of the missile. The wings are lined with a Rene N6 superalloy variant called Thymonel 8, used widely in Macabee turbines and engines for its missiles. Thymonel 8 has a tendency to have a low case of hydrogen enviroment embrittlement and does not burn or wear as easily, making it perfect for mass launchings of air to air missiles.
Two internal hardpoints can carry up to 2,000 pounds worth of weight for bombs or extra missiles, or even extra fuel for extended air superiority missions.

[Lu-25 Black Mariah STOVL [ Multi-role short takeoff and vertical landing]]
http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/research/x35/x35_schem_01.jpg
[Abstract]
The Lu-25 was designed specifically for use on the Zealous class Super Dreadnought. Consequently, because of the constraints of an airforce based on a super dreadnought, and because of concerns regarding runway length and the space required, the new aircraft was designed as an verticle take off/landing aircraft, and that way allow for room for more aircraft. The Lu-25 was designed off the Lu-12 and the Lu-05 combined, and indeed, the engineers in the Lu-25 project planned on combining both aircraft into one, along with the X-35 [F-35] project.
[Combat Systems]
The Lu-25 has eight wing hardpoints, capable of carrying what in the Macabee military are called 'missile clips', in which an Lu-25 can carry a total of ten MTAAM-3 Predator air to air missiles. The wings are lined with a Rene N6 superalloy variant called Thymonel 8, used widely in Macabee turbines and engines for its missiles. Thymonel 8 has a tendency to have a low case of hydrogen enviroment embrittlement and does not burn or wear as easily, making it perfect for mass launchings of air to air missiles. Each Black Mariah STOVL aircraft also carried either four MLAM-2 air to surface missiles, or four of any type of anti-shipping missile, or four extra air to air missiles.
Moreover, the Lu-12 has two 20mm cannons mounded in blisters on either side of the fuselage. The cannons are powered by an internal motor generator, nick named the LuG-1 generator, which in turn powers dozens of large capacitors, bathed in water to give more permeability for the transfer of electrons, multiplying total power output by at least eighty.
Two internal hardpoints can carry up to 2,000 pounds worth of weight for bombs or extra missiles, or even extra fuel for extended air superiority missions.
The Lu-25 also has a single MAAMG (Macabee Anti-Air Missile Gun), dubbed 'Lunatic', as well as a undercompartment for flares and chaff. Moreover, it's armed with active RADAR jammer.
[Cockpit and Avionics]
The GEC-built Head-Up Display (HUD) offers a wide field of view (30 degrees horizontally by 25 degrees vertically) and serves as a primary flight instrument for the pilot.
There are six liquid crystal display (LCD) panels in the cockpit. These present information in full color and are fully readable in direct sunlight. LCDs offer lower weight and less size than the cathode ray tube (CRT) displays used in most current aircraft. The lower power requirements also provide a reliability improvement over CRTs. The two Up-Front Displays (UFDs) measure 3"x4" in size and are located to the left and right of the control panel.
The Integrated Control Panel (ICP) is the primary means for manual pilot data entry for communications, navigation, and autopilot data. Located under the glareshield and HUD in center top of the instrument panel, this keypad entry system also has some double click functions, much like a computer mouse for rapid pilot access/use.
The Primary Multi-Function Display (PMFD) is a 8"x8" color display that is located in the middle of the instrument panel, under the ICP. It is the pilot’s principal display for aircraft navigation (including showing waypoints and route of flight) and Situation Assessment (SA) or a "God's-eye view" of the entire environment around (above, below, both sides, front and back) the aircraft.
Three Secondary Multi-Function Displays (SMFDs) are all 6.25" x 6.25" and two of them are located on either side of the PMFD on the instrument panel with the third underneath the PMFD between the pilot's knees. These are used for displaying tactical (both offensive and defensive) information as well as non-tactical information (such as checklists, subsystem status, engine thrust output, and stores management)
[Airframe]
The airframe of the Lu-25 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 fifteen titanium ribs.
The airframe is also built with contour angles, in which RADAR waves bounce back in other directions, thus giving the Lu-25 a limited stealth feature, although it has been known that particularly powerful RADAR can look 'over' said features.
[Stealth]
The Lu-25 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 airframe is also covered with a thin-layer of composite light-metallic materials, which in turn is covered with microscopic silica material that is placed to seperate LIDAR rays into opposite adjacent directions.
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.

[Electronics]
The Lu-25 is equipped with a carry-on RADAR, powered through another motor generator, which in turn runs its wires through a series of dozens of capacitors bathed in water, multiplying the power put out by the motor generator by at least eighty. In turn, the active RADAR can detect movements at over three hundred kilometers distance, equal to that of a MiG-31. Specifically, it's a multi-mode X-band pulse Doppler radar. The system consists of a single electronically-scanned Phased-Array RADAR antenna mounted in the nose and tail giving the Su-63 360 degree scanning capabilites.System can track 50 Targets and simultaeneously fire at 5.The NO-12M RADAR can also be integrated with AWAC or ground based RADAR systems to give it a total detection range of whatever the ground based RADAR is.
The Lu-25 is also equipped with a Gaussian LIDAR transmitter. How the Gaussian transmitter works is that it sets up two electrical planes, one charged positively, and one charged negatively. This, in turn, sets up an electron form, which charges the transmitter to direct a photon ray. The laser beam transmitted in turn hits an object and reports said object through electrical impulses, not reflection. A carbon computer onboard the Lu-25 distinguishes between inanimate (meaning, natural obstacles), friendly, and non-friendly objects in the sky. In order to reduce sucepbility to LIDAR falters in the clouds the DOPPLER LIDAR and DIAL use an infra-red imaging program.
The Lu-25 has a single three hundred and sixty degree rotating camera located under the nose of the aircraft, giving the pilot a full circle view of at least fifty kilometers distance.

[Engines]
The Lu-25 has two Farmacell X-987-RB4 Turbofans lined with Thymonel 8, a RENE N6 superalloy. Thrust-vectoring nozzles provides STOL capabilities, 160 kN static thrust with 250 kN of afterburner. The Farmacell X-987-RB4 turbofans give the Lu-25 a maximum velocity of Mach 2.5.
The STOVL variant features a ducted lift fan located in an enlarged spine just aft of the cockpit in place of a fuel tank carried by the conventional models. This fan is used to provide lift needed for vertical flight, along with thrust provided by the main engine. The main engine makes use of a unique swivelling nozzle that can redirect the thrust aft for level flight or down for vertical flight.

Hali-21 Part-Variant Assault Rifle
http://www.hkdefense.us/pages/military-le/mil-leimages/xm8s2rtmain.jpg
Statistics:
Calibre: 7.62mm NATO
Capacity: 10/20/30/60 rds
Length: 29.8 in
Width: 2.34 in
Height: 9.17 in
Weight: 6.2 lb
Description:
The Hali-21 will be based on the kinetic energy weapon that is part of the Hali-21 next-generation infantry weapon system (formerly the Objective Individual Combat Weapon) currently under development by ATK Integrated Defense. The kinetic energy weapon, which fires 7.62mm ammunition, will provide maximum commonality in components and logistics with the Hali-21 system.
The Hali-21 will provide lethality performance comparable to the currently fielded M4 carbine rifle, while weighing 20 percent less than the M4 because of advanced technologies developed for the Hali-21 program.
The Hali-21 Lightweight Assault Rifle will reduce the 21st century soldier's load and increase his mobility. The progress made to reduce weight and improve performance on the Hali-21 program is key to the decision on accelerating the development of the Hali-21, which is integrated with the Army's efforts to transform to a more lethal and rapidly deployed fighting force as part of its Objective Force.
Internally, the Hali-21 uses a rotary locking bolt system that functions and fieldstrips like those used in the M-16 rifle and M-4 carbine, according to the Hali-21 manufacturer’s — Heckler & Koch — Website. The bolt is powered by a unique gas operating system with a user-removable gas piston and pusher rod to operate the mechanism. Unlike the current M-4 and M-16 direct gas system with gas tube, the Hali-21 gas system does not introduce propellant gases and carbon back into the weapon’s receiver during firing.
This improved reliability can be credited to differences in the Hali-21s operating system from the one in the M16. For instance, a thin gas tube runs almost the entire length of the barrel in all of the M16 variants. When the weapon is fired, the gases travel back down the tube into the chamber and push the bolt back to eject the shell casing and chamber a new round. The Hali-21s gas system instead is connected to a mechanical operating rod, which pushes back the bolt to eject the casing and chamber the new round each time the weapon is fired. So there‘s no carbon residue constantly being blown back into the chamber, reducing the need to clean the weapon as often. You don‘t get gases blowing back into the chamber that have contaminates in them. The Hali-21 also has a much tighter seal between the bolt and the ejection port, which should cut down on the amount of debris that can blow into the weapon when the ejection port‘s dust cover is open.
Beginning life as the 7.62mm KE (kinetic energy) component of the 20mm air-bursting Hali-21 Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW), the Hali-21 Lightweight Modular Carbine System represents the state-of-the-art in 7.62 NATO assault rifles.
This modularity includes the exchange of interchangeable assembly groups such as the barrel, handguard, lower receiver, buttstock modules and sighting system with removable carrying handle. In addition and in parallel, the new Hali-21 quick detachable single-shot 40mm grenade launcher with side-opening breech and LSS lightweight 12 gauge shotgun module can be easily added to the Hali-21 by the user in the field without tools. The unique buttstock system allows the operator exchange buttstocks without tools from the standard collapsible multi-position version, to an optional buttcap for maximum portability or an optional folding or sniper buttstock with adjustable cheekpiece for special applications. Internally the Hali-21 employs a combat-proven robust rotary locking bolt system that functions and fieldstrips like that used in the current M16 rifle and M4 carbine. However this bolt is powered by a unique gas operating system that employs a user removable gas piston and pusher rod to operate the mechanism. Unlike the current M4/M16 direct gas system with gas tube, the Hali-21 gas system does not introduce propellant gases and the associated carbon fouling back into the weapon’s receiver during firing. This greatly increases the reliability of the Hali-21 while at same time reducing operator cleaning time by as much as 70%. This system also allows the weapon to fire more than 15,000 rounds without lubrication or cleaning in even the worst operational environments. A cold hammer forged barrel will guarantee a minimum of 20,000 rounds service life and ultimate operator safety in the event of an obstructed bore occurrence.
The Hali-21 has fully ambidextrous operating controls to include a centrally located charging handle that doubles as an ambidextrous forward assist when required, ambidextrous magazine release, bolt catch, safety/selector lever with semi and full automatic modes of fire and release lever for the multiple position collapsible buttstock. The operating controls allow the operator to keep the firing hand on the pistol grip and the weapon in the firing position at all times while the non-firing hand actuates the charging handle and magazine during loading and clearing. Major components of the weapon are produced from high-strength fiber reinforced polymer materials that can be molded in almost any color to include OD green, desert tan, arctic white, urban blue, brown and basic black. Surfaces on the Hali-21 that interface with the operator are fitted with non-slip materials to increase comfort and operator retention. The Hali-21 uses 10 or 30-round semi-transparent box magazines and high-reliability 60-round drum magazines for sustained fire applications.
Beyond the 2-round burst capability, the Hali-21 is a relatively conventional battle rifle. The 94 is capable of mounting a bayonet (though in this case it is mounted to the right of the muzzle rather than below, so as to allow for the use of an under barrel grenade launcher, and horizontally, to enable the user to male side to side slashing attacks while holding the rifle.) and it comes standard with a universal scope mounting rail on the left hand side of the receiver. The Hali-21 accepts standard. The sights feature a conventional shrouded front sight, which is adjustable for zeroing, and a 5-position rotating aperture rear sight (similar to the German G3) for range.
Special integral flush mounted attachment points are located on the handguard and receiver to allow the quick attachment of targeting devices. Unlike MIL-STD-1913 rails, the Hali-21 attachment points do not add additional weight, bulk and cost to the host weapon, and will accept MIL-STD-1913 adapters to allow for the use of current in-service accessories. The attachment points for the standard multi-function integrated red-dot sight allow multiple mounting positions and insure 100% zero retention even after the sight is removed and remounted. The battery powered Hali-21 sight includes the latest technology in a red dot close combat optic, IR laser aimer and laser illuminator with back-up etched reticle with capability exceeding that of the current M68-CCO, AN/PEQ-2 and AN/PAQ-4. This sight will be factory zeroed on the weapon when it is delivered and does not require constant rezeroing in the field like current rail-mounted targeting devices.

Hali-37 Assault Rifle
http://www.exchange3d.com/test_albums/3d-model-weapons-assault-rifle-gun-AK-47/aak.thumb.jpg
[It's us actually little like this, I just wanted a picture.]
During the latter days of the Civil War, soldiers on all sides used the cheap, abundant, and effective, Ak-74s, bought off foreign markets across the globe. However, in the quest of a more modern, more competent, and much more effective, killing machine the Macabee armed forces has released their first assault rifle, the Hali-37 Assault Rifle. The design is supposed to completely take the place of the older Ak-74s and M-16s.
The Hali-37 uses the widely distributed 5.56 x 45mm NATO round, fitted in a standard thirty round magazine. The Hali-37 has two different rates of fire; 1,800 rounds per minute, in two shot bursts, or six hundred rounds per minute in fully automatic. Moreover, the Hali-37 uses Nikonov's AN-94 process of speeding up loading time.
n a conventional semi-automatic rifle, to load the next round the bolt must unlock, extract the spent cartridge case, move rearward over the next round to be fed in the magazine, and eject the case. At this point the bolt (driven by the recoil or return spring) is pushed forward, where it strips the next round from the magazine, chambers it, locks in place, and is ready to fire. In the Hali-37 this process is sped up through the use of a cable and pulley operated "rammer" which pre-positions the next round in the chamber, eliminating unnecessary reward bolt travel. The rammer functions as follows: as the bolt recoils to the rear the cable (passing through the pulley, pulls the rammer forward, stripping the next round from the magazine and partially chambering it. As the bolt returns forward the rammer resets and the bolt pushes the round completely into the chamber and locks.
In the Hali-37 recoil, in burst mode, is handled in essentially a dual recoiling system. When the first round is fired the entire barrel/bolt assembly begins sliding to the rear, compressing a main recoil spring. In addition the bolt itself is compressing an individual secondary spring, which drives the bolt back forward, whereupon the hammer automatically fires the second round of the burst (all while the barrel is still recoiling reward on the main spring.) Once the second round is fired the bolt locks to the rear until the barrel has recoiled completely and gone back into battery. As soon as the barrel is back in battery the bolt is released and another round is chambered. This arrangement allows for two shots to be fired before any recoiling forces are transferred to the shooter. When fired in the full auto mode the Hali-37 first fires a 2 round burst and then goes into fully automatic fire (in which the bolt is held to the rear until the barrel completes its recoiling cycle).
Beyond the 2-round burst capability, the Hali-37 is a relatively conventional battle rifle. The Hali-37 is capable of mounting a bayonet (though in this case it is mounted to the right of the muzzle rather than below, so as to allow for the use of an under barrel grenade launcher, and horizontally, to enable the user to male side to side slashing attacks while holding the rifle.) and it comes standard with a universal scope mounting rail on the left hand side of the receiver. The Hali-37 accepts standard M-16 20 and 30 round magazines, as well as the new 60 round four-stack magazines. The sights feature a conventional shrouded front sight, which is adjustable for zeroing, and a 5-position rotating aperture rear sight (similar to the German G3) for range.
Put it all together and it adds up to a rifle with 200 meters more range than the AK-74, better accuracy for rapid "burst" firing, and an innovative recoil and reload system, all at a fraction more weight than the standard AK-74.

http://www.exchange3d.com/test_albums/3d-model-weapons-soviet-russian-military-assault-rifle-ak-47-machine-gun-kalashnikov-01/aac.thumb.jpg
Abstract:
In the search for something cheap but reliable, and much more inexpensive than the modern Hali-37, the main assault rifle for the Macabee forces, the imperial engineers devised the second model to the reknown Ak-47/B. With a bit of an incentive from a direct request by Armandian Cheese Macabee engineers were able to design, and then mass produce, a rifle that would cost about five hundred dollars a piece, instead of the two thousand that the Hali-37 cost. In that respect, the Ak-47/B was to become a new center piece in the collection of many armies that rather have a "cheap and reliable" assault rifle.

Charactiristics Shared with the Ak-47:
The AK-47/B is inexpensive to manufacture and very simple to clean and repair in the field. Its ruggedness and reliability are legendary, and it can fire even after being submerged in water (if the water is poured out first), or when it is covered in dirt. The standard flip-up iron sight is calibrated with each numeral indicating in hundreds of metres. It is released by squeezing the two buttons on the back end. The standard calibration of the flipped-down sight is 50 metres, the normal minimal distance for aimed fire. Distances below this range are usually aimed instinctively. For night fighting, Macabee models have a flip-up luminous dot, also calibrated to 50 m.
Ballistics:
The standard AK-47/B fires a 7.62 × 39 mm round with a muzzle velocity of 710 m/s. Muzzle energy is 1,990 joules. Cartridge case length is 38.6 mm, weight is 18.21 g. Projectile weight is normally 8 g, though some Russian ammunition made for export to the US uses a soft-nose hunting type bullet of 10 g mass.
The AK-47/B, with the 7.62 x 39 mm cartridge, had an effective range of around 300 metres and usually had the sights zeroed at 200 metres.
The rate of fire is between 300 and 600 rounds per minute. Later models have modifications to the trigger assembly and bolt to fire more slowly. This helps make the weapon more controllable and waste less ammunition. This can help reduce logistic requirements. The rate-reducing devices may also be intended to reduce the wear and tear on moving parts.
Improvements over the Original Ak-47:
In the Ak-47/B recoil, in burst mode, is handled in essentially a dual recoiling system. When the first round is fired the entire barrel/bolt assembly begins sliding to the rear, compressing a main recoil spring. In addition the bolt itself is compressing an individual secondary spring, which drives the bolt back forward, whereupon the hammer automatically fires the second round of the burst (all while the barrel is still recoiling reward on the main spring.) Once the second round is fired the bolt locks to the rear until the barrel has recoiled completely and gone back into battery. As soon as the barrel is back in battery the bolt is released and another round is chambered. This arrangement allows for two shots to be fired before any recoiling forces are transferred to the shooter. When fired in the full auto mode the Hali-37 first fires a 2 round burst and then goes into fully automatic fire (in which the bolt is held to the rear until the barrel completes its recoiling cycle).
Beyond the 2-round burst capability, the Ak-47/B is a relatively conventional battle rifle. The Ak-47/B is capable of mounting a bayonet (though in this case it is mounted to the right of the muzzle rather than below, so as to allow for the use of an under barrel grenade launcher, and horizontally, to enable the user to male side to side slashing attacks while holding the rifle.) and it comes standard with a universal scope mounting rail on the left hand side of the receiver. The Ak-47/B accepts standard Russia/Soviet 20 and 30 round magazines.. The sights feature a conventional shrouded front sight, which is adjustable for zeroing, and a 5-position rotating aperture rear sight (similar to the German G3) for range.
