Electronics
The Blackfield III - Exparimental
A mini sized turreted microwave emitter as its active missile defense system. The emitter uses micro waves to destroy an incoming missile's electronics. With ranges of several hundred meters, the Blackfield renders the missile useless. Thus sending it to crash or detonate before hitting the target. - Range and intensity increased, yet limited usage restricts overuse.
Heartbreak system III - Exparimental
Scrambles enemy laser rangefinder, making it quite the challenge for enemy tanks to fire, unless they estimate the range. Also scrambles enemy communication's systems and tracking systems. Also interferes with the enemy laser-based systems and laser-oriented weapons by using a controlled beam of ultraviolet rays to scatter the laser (communications systems, weapons systems, rangefinder systems). - Range and intensity increased.

Notes:
The Cheetah IIFs is the Commander's version of the Cheetah IIF model. Unlike all other Cheetah Models, the Fs model or "Command" version, comes equipped with a regenerative fuel cell, thus being able to use water instead of gasoline as a fuel source. However, the design is still in prototype stages, and engines have been known to break down from over usage. (The Regenerative Fuel Cell concept; RFC systems can provide efficient, environmentally benign, highly reliable, renewable energy conversion for a variety of applications. These systems consist of the following subsystems: fuel cells, electrolyzers, photovoltaic arrays, reactant storage, thermal management, and electrical power management. Fuel cells consume hydrogen and oxygen (or air) to produce electricity, water, and heat. The product water is stored and later dissociated into its hydrogen and oxygen constituents by a solar-powered electrolyzer. The hydrogen and oxygen are then stored for subsequent fuel cell consumption, and the fuel cell waste heat can be utilized in many different ways. If the fuel cell is designed to consume air rather than pure oxygen, then the oxygen from water electrolysis is available for other uses, such as in biological waste purification.)
The Fs model comes with a much more powerful engine, aswell as a much bigger gun. That can send a total of 4 118mm rounds at a target. This is ment to break the backs of heavy battletanks, aswell as ensure the death of your average tank.
The Fs model also comes with LIDAR system, which using weather calculations, determines the course and speed of a target, also with the help of advance targeting scopes, allows computer controled turrets to line up a more precisive shot onto the point the enemy will be say if they are on the move.
A new shell has also been added to the large array of weapons on the Fs model. Taking a standard shotgun round into throught, a scaled up shotgun round for the 118mm gun as been invisioned. Like a spread shotgun round, once fired, it sprays a great deal of small steel balls in a wide killzone, well, the 118mm "splatter" round, is a single shell filled with your regular charge. However, towards the end or tip of the shell, a remote detonated charge is placed under a shell within the shell. Essentialy, when the charge is detonated, a shell will split open, and spray nearly 200 marble sized depleted urainum ball bearings all over a wide killzone. If used effectivly, the shot could kill wide areas of enemy infantry, or shred your standard APC.
However, the Fs model is not ment for massive production. Its cost is $122 Million Verstmarks, and is being massproduced to Panzer-aces and Commander's.
The Barrel for the Cheetah Fs is attached with heat-absorbing and dissipating shroud which absorbs the heat and dissipates it over a wide area. Allowing for a much higher firing rate.
