Kraken II

Intelligence reports were filled with mentioning of Bumsian Dachel’s filling the battlefields and popping out of factories at an alarming rate. The Kraken could hold its own against the tank, however, the Californian’s weren’t looking for a fair fight with the Illyanic Armored divisions. They wanted a slaughter. The Kraken had been the epitome of Californian Tank technology for over fifteen years, it was time to build a new one. Further intelligence reported the construction of an Illyanic designed MBT, one which could also go gun to gun with the Kraken and match it every step of the way. They would be in for quite the surprise when they bumped into this ‘Super-Kraken’.

Armor Composition

Before delving into the armor composition, the general formation and positioning of armor layers must be examined, as it provides additional values on it’s own. The Kraken was an extremely ‘slanted’ vehicle, using sharp angles to assist in deflecting enemy rounds. The Kraken II was to take this design even further, the designer’s main concerns being enemy APFDS rounds, which were proven to be less effective against shaped armor. Testing thus far has shown, that even direct shots would appear to be hitting at an awkward, semi-horizontal angle, thus reducing the effectiveness of the round in the vast majority of cases. The only problem with this design being the inability to stack armor on the top of the turret (it would ruin the angle layout discarding the purpose of the design in the first place, as would be to large to effectively deflect anything). The turret is still granted a substantial portion of armor in select locations, however, is vulnerable to well placed aerial strikes. (IE, rounds coming from the sky at a 90 degree angle are more effective against the turret than normal, however rounds coming at non-vertical angles are less effective).

APFSDS Hitting Normal Tank Armor

APFSDS Hitting Kraken Tank Armor

With that out of the way, the first layer of the tanks armor can be observed. A primary defense of ERA, Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armor specifically, was added to the tank as it was in so many modern day MBT’s. The armor type had proven its effectiveness time and again. Though a primary deterrent against HEAT and HE based munitions, it has proven capable in defending against KE based weapons. These heavy blocks have been applied with expected 300mm ratings in the KE spectrum, reaping considerably higher values in regards to CE rounds.

The second layer of armor applied to the Kraken II was to be a barium-nick composite foam like material has been inserted between the ERA and 'Cage' layers. This Barium-Nickel composite foam has proven not only to prevent internal armor problems with the tank, but lower the effectiveness of enemy HE and HEAT based munitions due to the heat resistiveness of the nickel allow in the foam.

A standard later of COCEP (Collapsable Armor Plating) has been added due to recent research on astounding armor ratings vs. KE projectiles.

The fourth ‘layer’ of armor applied to the Kraken II was the DUC or ‘The Cage’, as designers called it. Literally a thin, net like layer of depleted uranium, the cage was applied with the intention of ‘catching’ APFDS rounds before they reached the main layer of armor, thus reducing its total force, directly minimizing it’s effectiveness. The cage is filled with square shaped spaces, for it is a net more than a layer of armor. The net however does not break when hit, it gives, still wrapped around the front of the projectile, continuing to slow the weapons progress as it digs into the fourth layer of armor.

The fifth and final layer of armor applied to the Kraken II was a Helicon designed layer of CHOBAM, an armor said to be superior to both the CERMAT found on the Kraken and standard CHOBAM. This armor, similar to the previously existing version used in American Abrams and British Challengers, has been enhanced with depleted uranium and tungsten strains. Trace (I mean really friken trace) amounts of Osmium have also been inserted into certain portions of the armor to provide for maximum levels of defense against both KE and CE penetrators. H-CHOBAM readings have shown the armor to get a real value to homogeneous value ratio of 3 to 1. 450mm of this metal have been applied to the Kraken II.

Armaments

The Davex 140mm ETC Main Battle Gun, not equipped with EM Rifling does however contain a thermal sleeve for the gun. This massive gun was just about as big as it was going to get for Californian MBT’s, testing showing it able to punch standard and APFSDS rounds through any armor tested against. Recoil is in part dealt with by a mini-spring system applied in the lower side regions of the turret and rear portion of the gun, however, the majority of the recoil was simply dispersed by 96 tons of metric weight. The thermal sleeve has been applied to replace the older cooling system, all the while maintaining the same use in negating overheating.

The gun was powered by two large batteries, and loaded by an automated loading system designed by some of the greatest minds on the West Coast. Between the loading system, highly efficient batteries and standard cooling system, rates of fire ranged from 8-11 rounds per minute depending on the crew and conditions. The Standard Munition Employed is the Tankacide APFSDS Anti-Tank Round.

http://www.globaltradelink.co.uk/apfsds-sabot-falloff.jpg
The Tankacide APFSDS Anti-Tank Round

The Tankacide round is an APFSDS (Armor piercing fin stabilized discarding sabot) munition, specifically designed to counter enemy tanks and heavy armor.
This specific round is to be a Steel-Coated-Projectile, as they have proven to be the most progressive KE ammunitions available in regards to defeating air resistance and providing for high velocities. Once the round is fired, the stainless steel SABOT, which ends it’s use once the projectile has left the barrel, sheds off the round, providing for even less air resistance when embarking on its path to the enemy vehicle. The kernel of the shot is an oblong, narrow, pointed tapered rod, that experiences minimal air-resistance on his trajectory and concentrates it’s full copy-strength itself on a tiny target. The extremely narrow, pin like point of the round applies an extremely high amount of force on a minimal surface, thus increasing the effectiveness. The point of the Tankacide Round is, unlike previous models, composed of Osmium. This extremely small amount of Osmium, the absolute densest metal on earth, always outmatches the density of the opposing armor, thus, always cuts through. Though the tip of the rod is composed of osmium, it is simply impractical to compose the entire rod of this metal for obvious pricing reasons, and the standard DU rod has been implanted, providing for maximum mass on any given point of an enemy tank. Depleted Uranium was an obvious choice due to its pyrophoric properties, allowing its fragments to ignite, causing increasing damage to the target. Uranium rods are also self sharpening due to their adiabatic likeness, preventing the majority of the rod from expanding upon contact, thus preserving its effectiveness after contact.

This round was also crafted to include ‘air-grooves’, yet another move to decrease air resistance by redirecting air flows away from the center of the rod, thus, allowing the munition to maintain a higher velocity.

Because of the rod’s length, it is aerodynamically unstable and tends to tumble in flight. Californian Engineers have voided the traditional ‘rifling’ technique, and instead created the APFSDS to resemble an arrow, increasing the weapons stability during its flight path. The traditional rifling technique seen in most foreign vehicles actually decreases the round’s velocity, thus its penetration abilities. Rifling such a long barrel would also prove deadly expensive when mass producing such a weapon, thus, the Kraken II would not include this tactic.

Additional Systems

LADAR. With the massive change in the Californian Military from RADAR to LADAR, the ground divisions decided to jump in on the action and implement this new detection system to their tanks. The LADAR system would allow for tanks to detect incoming missiles, accurately gauge enemy tank/vehicle distances, and have sufficient forwarning of enemy forces in the area. The LADAR system is directly linked to the Kroando 10.7mm Anti-Missile Gun.

A variety of crew-to-tank interface systems have been employed to allow the crew maximum control over the tanks operations in addition to supreme coordination between all tank systems.

The Tank can also equipped with a Shortstop System. This device creates an 'Electronic Shield' around the tank, one that pre-maturely detonates enemy proximity charged artillery shells. This defense will allow an extra layer of security to the already formidable tank. This however, is rarely done due to cost and logistical issues. A single tank employing the Shortstop out of a grouping of 100 tanks is more than effective.

C-24 'Big Gun'
(Note. This picture is of an old US 240mm gun, and does not directly resemble the C-24)

The C-37's were performing excellent in testing thus far, however, the explosions, and distances were just... a tad bit small. The idea behind the development of this new monster was simple, the explosives fired would be bigger, and they would be fired longer distances, with greater effects. Defensive positions, tank formations and troop advances would be simply annihilated by the tremendous power the weapon would unload. A bigger gun was definitely a must.

Armament

And indeed a bigger gun was made. A 240mm Howitzer was expected to be capable of handling the job. The gun was capable of firing a 300 pound self propelled artillery shell over 85 miles away, all the while sustaining a decent rate of fire.

The C-24 is a 'Cooled-Howitzer', which provides for higher rates of fire. This common weapons type allows more shells to be fired per minute, thus, inflicting higher damage upon enemy targets. In addition to the cooling system, a fully automated ammunition handling and loading system have been integrated into the C-24, eliminating human error from the process. Without the notion of fatigue, exposure and human failure, their will be no complications regarding the loading and firing of the weapon. A State-of-the-art cockpit with embedded command and control system has become standard in nearly all Californian Vehicles. Organization and coordination are key, mistakes are fatal. In the past, poor communication and correspondence have left for these mistakes, they are now gone.

Recoil was already expected to be a problem, for a 240mm gun causes quite the shock. Dual hydro pneumatic recoils and equilibrator system softened the shock. An immense cable operated rear spade was mounted to help absorb immense pressure. The treads have also been adjusted to help absorb the force from the shot, as the gun transfers motion to the tread system, which is designed to provide resistance to the shot, the tanks motion backwards is minimal. The guns immediate holster shifts backwards with the force, providing an additional layer of resistance to the shock. The final recoil deterant consisted of a system of counter weights deployed to the front of the C-24. These weights not only prevented any chance of flipage, but absorbed the remainder of the recoil thrusting the vehicle in reverse. These weights can be moved into areas around the engine, prividing a needed layer of defence. The redeployable weights block the engine from possible ambushes, increasing survivability.

Ammunition posed yet another problem. How to carry so much heavy ammunition. After several failed attempted to place all the ammo on the C-24, a smaller truck was designed to accompany each C-24, to carry additional ammo.

Armor

*Option One
The gun had a range of 65 miles, without assistance (70 With). It was not designed to be shot at. These weapons recieved escorts, were never closer than 10 miles to the battle sight and frankly, had little to worry about in the way of taking direct enemy fire. The armor consists of a thin layer of steel, capable of defending the crew from light arms and ambushes, the only actual threat they would ever face. Option one depends on hillbilly armor as a primary means of defence against ambush.

*Option Two
For those that dont want to send their toys into combat without a thicker skin... Two layers of armor make up the majority of the vehicle's defence, the first being a 1.5inch layer of NxRA. The second layer consists of Chobham armour, another 1.5inch layer of such. This defense has been placed ontop of the standard steel layer displayed in option one.

The C-37 'Mountain Breaker'

The Jewitts had withdrawn their threat of war against the Coalition, this was a most reassuring action. However the fact remained that a threat had been made. A threat to violate a legal NAP, a threat the Consulship took very, very seriously. It was now believed throughout the enite Californian Government and Military that the NAP was but a scrap of paper to their nieghbors, who would not hesitate a second if they desired to break it. Preperations needed to be made incase they decided, yet again, that the pact would be broken.

General's agreed, that if any nation was to launch a sucessful ground assault on California, they would have to traverse long distances with large battle groups. A powerful, long ranged artillery weapon that would be capable of destroying the enemy as they moved forward. A weapon capable of loaning immidiet, accurate support from 50 kilometers away... it was too much for Consul Kraken to pass up, and the contract was signed with Helicon Inc.

Primary Systems

The C-37 is a 'Cooled-Howitzer', which provides for sustained high rates of fire. This common weapons type allows more shells to be fired per minute, thus, inflicting higher damage upon enemy targets. In addition to the cooling system, a fully automated ammunition handling and loading system have been integrated into the C-37, eliminating human error from the process. Without the notion of fatigue, exposure and human failure, their will be no complications reguarding the loading and firing of the weapon. A State-of-the-art cockpit with embedded command and control system has become standard in nearly all Californian Vehicles. Organization and coordination are key, mistakes are fatal. In the past, poor communication and correspondance have left for these mistakes, they are now gone.

Armor

The C-37 features an Explosive Reactive Armor layout seen in many new vehicles, including the Kraken HBT. However, the main armor system will be a 3.5 inch layer of CERMAT tank armor, providing for a KE value of 1,700mm.

Explosive reacting armor is constructed of "bricks" or "tiles" of explosive sandwiched between two plates, almost always metal, called the reactive or dynamic elements.

Essentially all anti-tank munitions work by piercing the armor and killing the crew inside.Explosive reactive armor's protective mechanism against shaped charge warheads involves producing an explosion when it is impacted by a weapon, moving the reactive elements and thus disrupting the jet of molten metal the warhead produces, significantly reducing its penetration capability.

The disruption happens by two mechanisms. First, the moving plates change the effective velocity and angle of impact of the shaped charge jet, reducing the angle of incidence and increasing the effective jet velocity versus the plate element. Second, since the plates are angled compared to the usual impact direction of shaped charge warheads, as the plates move outwards the impact point on the plate moves over time, making the jet have to burn through fresh plate material. This second effect increases the effective plate thickness during the impact significantly.

Most ERA is not of much use against kinetic energy projectiles, which are much thicker and heavier than the plates are, but the thicker moving plates of "heavy ERA" such as the Russian Kontakt-5 can break apart a penetrating rod that is longer than the ERA is deep, again significantly reducing penetration capability.

Propulsion System

The LV100-5 Turbine Engine. The LV100 will provide continual and smooth power, rapid acceleration, quick starting even in cold climates, no visible exhaust and quiet running for the Army’s ground units. It is also a lightweight engine, at 2,300 pounds, and only 51 inches in length, providing considerable space and weight savings. It can operate on all grades of jet fuel, diesel and gasoline and can be easily interchanged between the currently opperating vehicles as well as the C-37.

Ammunitions

Helicon Inc. has finished the development of a 155 mm Guided Artillery Ammunition (GAA) which has been sold exclusively to the Californian Military as their primary Indirect Fire Precision Attack (IFPA) program. The 155 mm guided shell offers three payload options: sensor fused munition, blast fragmentation munition and a unitary warhead. The partnership enables GAA to be offered as a low risk integration program, leveraging technologies being developed by these three global companies. GAA design provides maximum interoperability with NATO allies and is compatible with current and future 155 mm howitzers. Levels of explosiveness vary on a shell by shell basis.

Project GAA offers several key features: precision acuracy independent of range; GPS/IMU system accuracy (less than 20 meters CEP accuracy); and enhanced operational capability and combat effectiveness at extended ranges (greater than 45 km with 52 Caliber gun) in all weather conditions. GAA precision guidance allows firing in close proximity to friendly forces and attack of targets where Rules of Engagement (ROE) prohibit the use of wide area fire missions. GAA is currently under contract to the IFPA JIPT to perform risk reduction activities for the GAA 155mm projectile.

The nation of Potty 5 offers the following two vehicles for export. The SPG is identical to the APC in most components. Both vehicles are fast and highly mobile, they are amphibious, have low ground pressure (even lower with extra wide tracks). The vehicles are also rather simple, easily maintained, and have sufficient protection from all small arms, and a large amount of heavier weapons (such as 14.5mm MGs, the IWS2000, launched grenades, shell fragments from artillery).

The Type 101 SPG/H/M can also function as a tank killer and a light tank. With guided HEAT rounds, fired at a high elevations like a mortar, it can hit the most vulnerable parts of tanks.

Also both vehicles are helicopter air liftable.

Potty 5 offers other items such as assault rifles, battle rifles, carbines, machineguns, and missiles through AIDI.

Lu-45 Hawk Air Superiority Aircraft

Abstract:
Through the wars of Emperor Jonach I it was conceived that the Lu-05, although potent, was far too simplistic for air superiority duties. This conclusion was reaffirmed during the War of Golden Succession, in which the Lu-05 was pitted against Havenite aircraft. The simplicity, and inadequacies, of the Lu-05 were underscored by several clients of Kriegzimmer, who many also saw action in the War of Golden Succession.

These inadequacies included lack of relative stealth features, although the Lu-05 did employ some of the very best RADAR absorbing material of the times, lack of maneuverability, and the airframe was far too small to support the features it carried. Furthermore, the Lu-05 was equipped with paraphernalia that didn’t perform to expectations, such as the Pallas Athena, purchased from New Empire.

Consequently, Emperor Fedor I ordered the development of a new air superiority aircraft. The original petitioners were Luftkrieg, Golden Luftwaffe Industries, and Dienstad Aerial Industries. Of all applicants Luftkrieg was chosen and funded, after their two last successful designs, the Lu-05 and the Lu-12. The project was dubbed the ZX-63, and the final product was the Lu-45 Hawk.

The Lu-45 features improved stealth systems despite the dropping of the Pallas Athena active RADAR cancellation system, as well as much better maneuverability, and enhanced aerodynamics. The latter includes more modern, much better designed, wing technology and undercarriage technology, reducing total mass, and thus total drag. Regardless, the technologies of the Lu-45 are worth a chance to look at.

The primary purchaser of the Lu-45, the Empire of the Golden Throne, has ordered it for the replacement of all Lu-05 aircraft, which will amount to a total of some twelve thousand Lu-45 aircraft within the time span of four to five years. The aircraft has also been displayed to the IADF, and may undergo certain revisions there for use within the Rapid Reaction Force, although Space Union is also a contender in the designing of the joint IADF air superiority fighter project.

The Lu-45 is a fully modern [post-modern] design, incorporating some of the best technologies available and incorporates technologies used in other aircraft as well. The Lu-45s purpose was to make a formidable air superiority fighter for the Empire, not to export it – although it will be exported – but, it’s primary purpose was for the Empire. It seems that it has done that, and done that incredibly well.

The Lu-45 flew it’s first test flight in front of an unofficial audience two years after the project began, flying for Emperor Fedor I. The Emperor liked it so much that he ordered the Lu-05s to be slowly scrapped and that some seven thousand Lu-45s be produced for both the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine. It is, indeed, a promising aircraft.

Airframe and Aerodynamics:
The airframe is crafted of steel titanium ribs, covered by an extremely light weight plastic and ceramic composite. The goal wasn’t to provide an armored aircraft, since the most likely case would be that regardless of the airframe’s strength the chances that it would survive a blast within three meters of the aircraft were low. Consequently, Luftkrieg decided to go cheaper but reliable, exchanging harder composites for a lighter ceramic/plastic composite. The specific composition of the ceramic/plastic composite is a Polyamide, polyvinyl chloride [PVC], and polycarbonate coating, along with a plastic bakelite coating, and a zirconium-hafnium alloy. The Hawk is laminated inside and outside with carbon reinforced fiberglass-plastic composed of glass fiber and carbon laminates bound with vinyl ester and polyester resin. The density of the carbon renforced fiberglass composite is about 1,600 kgm^3, but the strength is rated above steel, and while in stiffness it falls a bit behind steel, in specific stiffnets it rises above steel almost six times over. A scrimp manufacturing process is used in construction, involving vacuum assisted resin injection. Carbon fiber and carbon loaded materials have been selected for the beams, mast and supporting structures, which need high tensile strength, for example the support structures for the gun and the electro-optical and radar weapon director. This latter lamination is known to increase stealth, and is extremely light weight, and used by many Swedish shipping.

The shape of the airframe also offers a lower radar-cross section [RCS], and the composite material is covered with radiation absorbent material, 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 Hawk, allowing it a more advance stealth feature. This RAM technology can also be seen used on the GLI-34 Albatross Heavy Bomber, and has proved successful in combat operations undertaken by several client states.

All angles on the aircraft follow the idea of the polarization angle, also known as Brewster’s Angle, which says that light that is polarized when regarding the interface, will not reflect on a particular incident angle. The angles attempt to all follow the standard guideline of being angled at fifty-six degrees, also much like the GLI-34.

Underneath the layering of RAM, and on top of the airframe, the Hawk features a slick coating of Thymonel 8, a nickel-based aluminum superalloy [NiAl], which has a low tendency for hydrogen environmental embrittlement [HEE], which is a logistical nightmare for most aircraft, and it features an extremely high resistance to heat. It is to say, the Hawk allows for greater velocities, especially when it comes to maneuvers.

The Hawk incorporates two canards just under the canopy, near the fuselage and half-hidden intakes, which are fully reversible, allowing the Hawk to fly in one direction while it’s pointing at another. The technology was first rumored to be available on the Rafale, and now the Hawk is one of the few aircraft that incorporate reversible canard fins.

The wings use a leading edge expansion to create high lift, increasing the flyable alpha by over ninety degrees. Like the Su-33, the Hawk has the ability to pull to an angle of attack of ninety to one hundred and ten degrees, and then pull back to zero. The Hawk also has twin vertical tails to increase stabilization, although they’re relatively smaller than those used on the JSF-35. The Lu-45s wings follow a full delta but instead the wing stalls are at the root, as is planned with the switchblade design, offering greater manueverability at higher velocities. The delta was chosen over the foward sweep wing simply because of drag and velocity issues with the newer technology, and the fact that FSW technology didn't really offer the Lu-45 any real advantage over a more conventional design with a difference in where the wing stalls were located. The Hawk's airfoils are all composed of a Nickel based Aluminum superalloy [NiAl], which enjoys rather great tensile ductility, high fracture toughness and high temperature strength, while keeping up an awsome creep and fatigue behavioural pattern in terms of resistivity. The NiAl superalloy is woven around a matrix, using a chromium strand to bond in each case, showing a substantial gain in toughness.

It is important to point out that the Lu-45 does have a single armored area, and that is the fuselage, which is ‘half-armored’, or more accurately slightly armored, to protect from stray shots, or weaker penetrations. The armor is made up of a stronger ceramic composite, and offers relatively low rolled homogenous armored [RHA] statistics.

Powerplant
The principle powerplant on the Lu-45 Hawk is a dual low-bypass turbofan engine system, putting out forty thousand pound force each. The outer shaft (HP), the high pressure compressor and the high pressure turbine are all made of a sturdier material than the rest of the airframe, including a separate coating of a separate superalloy. This coating is made of a Ni based superalloy with high Cr content and using the d-electron concept. The d-electron concept was developed on the basis of the molecular orbital calculations of the electronic structures of Ni alloys. The two electronic parameters that are important for this concept are the bond order between an alloying element and nickel atoms, Bo, and the other is the d-orbital energy level of alloying elements. This specific composition has high hot-corrosion resistance, tested by the immersion test, where it was tested through weight loss. There is a second coating of Rene N6 single crystal based superalloy called CMSX-11B and CMSX-116, containing Chromium levels of 12.5% to 14.5% respectively. The Rene N6 also increases hydrogen environment embrittlement (HEE), increasing resistance.

The fans themselves are somewhat better made than most out there since they're forged from a mono-crystalline blade, which is something along the lines of Rene N6 only with a heavier mass. Moreover, the turbofan includes a two layer fan in order to increase thrust and force, while using a smaller engine, decrease infra-red signatures. All first stage turbine blades and nozzels are designed using ceramic materials, a biproduct of the Advanced Gas Turbine [AGT] project.

To increase power the Hawk’s turbofans, dubbed LuTJ-2005s, retain a high specific thrust in order to increase to the limit the thrust for a given frontal area. Furthermore, the LuTJ-2005s use multi-stage fans for a higher fan pressure ratio. It also includes afterburner injection to increase specific thrust at certain times, although the Lu-45s engines do not allow it for a longer period of time, making afterburners only useful in certain combat operations and take-off operations.

The variable area air intakes for the LuTJ, as said before, are located halfway under the fuselage, and carry a small silencer, which although it doesn’t silence it all the way, does aid quite a bit in the almost implausible endeavor of silencing the Lu-45 Hawk.

The LuTJ-2005 engines also are designed with multiple infra-red heat depressant mechanisms which act as mechanical coolants, designed to lower, if not extinguish, infra-red signatures coming from the engines. Apart from that the engines also carry what is perhaps the only major Luftkrieg self-designed property. It incorporates a liquid nitrogen coolant based in a miniscule ring which separates the inner walls of the turbojets, lined by the superalloys, and the outer wall of the turbojets, allowing miniature injectors to leave a gloss of liquid nitrogen. The heat is measured by built in thermometers, and the coolant is injected based on those readings.

The Hawk’s maximum velocity remains at Mach 3+, while it’s optimal cruising velocity has been rendered at Mach 2.4, and it’s optimal mission velocity for enhanced stealth is to remain subsonic.

For quicker turns and more efficient maneuvers the Lu-45 Hawk uses Counterflow Thrust Vectoring [CFTV], which decreases weight and increases reaction speed. Of the two CFTV systems to date, the Lu-45 uses that designed in the Portuguese Air Force Academy in Sintra, which uses small jet engines. Nonetheless, regardless on the improvements on thrust vectoring, especially the CFTV fluid vectoring, it is extremely important to know that thrust vectoring works best in subsonic velocities, as opposed to super sonic velocities.

The engines are monitored for mechanical fluidity, heat and pressure by an Engines Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS). EICAS is located in the cockpit and is a section of the Hawk’s avionics.

Avionics:
All electronic systems used by Hawk are line replaceable units and shop replaceable units, making the Hawk’s electronic suit much more logistics friendly. Furthermore, the coolant system used by the engines is also used by separate technology injectors on the electronic and avionics systems, allowing for a much better use of the aircraft’s avionics by the crews. In other words, it decreases the chances of a malfunction.

The avionics suit on the Lu-45 was perhaps the most excruciating part of the design, and it includes several enhanced projects which the Lu-05 disregarded. This includes an Integrated Communications Navigation Identification Avionics suit, as well as Integrated Electronic Warfare System [INEWS] and high speed data busses. The system is brained by a single supercomputer dubbed Hans, known as a Common Integrated Processor [CIP], and there are two of these located within each Hawk. The CIP is rated at two thousand million instructions per second [Mips], with signal processing rated at fifty billion operations per second . This is aided by the very high-speed integrated circuit (VHSIC) technology, and separate modules.

The Lu-45 Hawk has a Communication/Navigation/Identification [CNI] system, which each CNI having it’s own synthetic aperture installed on the aircraft. The CNI works directly and indirectly with the separate but similar identification friend or foe [IFF] system. Regardless, both work for the cooperation between flights of aircraft. This is further propelled by the Intra-Flight Data Link [IFDL] which allows flights to share target data without using the radio. Finally, to reinforce both the CNI and IFF there us a Joint Tactical Information Distribution System [JTIDS] link.

The Electronic Warfare [EW] system and the Stores Management System [SMS] also work together, much like the CNI and IFF applications work together. The SMS works for launch sequences and to choose weapons, and such, while the former system [EW] works to gather target data and to aid in the detection of other aircraft. The Electronic Warfare system also expends chaff, flares and other countermeasures as seen appropriate; this can also be done manually if the pilot wishes, although he/she does not have to set the setting, as the CIP assumed this. The SMS is aided by two other systems, the Vehicle Management System [VMS] and the Integrated Vehicle System Controller [IVSC], which are avionics racks. The pilot doesn’t need to worry about self-defense, as that’s controlled automatically by an electronic warfare subsystem on the aircraft.

All the systems are directly linked to the pilot through a series of screens crafted from a liquid crystal matrix [AMLCD], which translated to the electronic flight instrumentation system [EFIS]. The EICAS system, described under the engines section, is also centered in the cockpit, next to the Altitude and Heading Reference System [AHRS] and Air Data Computer. For greater pilot versatility and comfort the cockpit includes a Primary Multi-Function display, shown through a polychromatic AMLCD, as well as a single heads-up display screen [HUD] and four up-front display screens . These systems offer a ‘gods eye view’ of the battlefield, and the HUD allows a thirty degree view horizontally, and a twenty-five degree view vertically.

The pilot’s wellbeing is monitored by the Environment Awareness Module [EAM], which includes on-board oxygen and pressure levels, as well as temperature levels and the state of the pilot’s nuclear, biological and chemical [NBC] protection suits.

The pilot’s navigational aids include a satellite based reality reproduction [SBRR] system and a hybrid navigational system, which works with gyro inertial guidance and a global positioning system [GPS]. For an all purpose navigational system the Hawk has the tactical air navigational system [TACAN], which is supplemented by a terrain profiling and matching system [TERPROM], much like that used by the Tomahawk missile, which also works hand in hand with the global positioning system and other reconnaissance satellite systems.

For threat management the pilot can depend on an electronic counter-measure system [ECMS], and an Advance Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasure System (AIDECM), which uses both noise jamming, deception jamming, and blip enhancement.

Cockpit Ejection System:
The Lu-45 Hawk, as opposed to the Lu-05, includes a cockpit ejection system due to popularity of it in Kriegzimmer's custom designs department. The CES works on a single lever, located on the left side of the pilot's seat, away from all other buttons and levers. The lever stimulates the computer to send a message to the mechanics of the cockpit's plexiglass, forcing it to segregate itself from the rest of the aircraft. Immediately afterwards the pilot and the seat are thrown from the aircraft using a relatively simple hydraulics system.

The seat includes a small booster designed to send the seat away from the aircraft and carry the pilot to safety. The landing system depends on two parachutes, one being the main chute, and the other being the secondary chute. Both chutes are rectangular in shape and made of reinforced canvas.

The seat also has two miniscule thrust vectoring mechanisms on the bottom for rudimentary manuevering done by the pilot to control the landing and to evade fire, and such. However, it's not powerful enough to take the pilot far, and is merely to provide the pilot with a safer landing.

For later detection, the seat includes a global positioning system. This would alert the commanding aircraft carrier or airbase to know where the pilot landed, and where to send a rescue team to. The seat also has an extra sidearm underneath in case the pilot looses his first one.

Sensor Equipment:
The central sensor system [CSS] was designed to take over the confusion of having separate sensor systems, although the Hawk does also include those. Nonetheless, this central sensor system acts like a collective and guides the pilot if the pilot is working in a compressed time space. The system was designed as the Imperial Radio Detection and Ranging Central Nervous System [IRCNS]. IRCNS is a long range, rapid scan, and multi-functional system which is formulated by an antenna that is physically and electrically merged with the airframe, reducing the radar cross section [RCS], and the IRCNS uses a solid-state microwave module, which replaces the wave tube systems of older radars. The electronically scanned array [ESA] has a wider bandwidth, while using less volume and prime power.

The Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) capability of the radar defeats conventional RWR/ESM systems, which means that the Hawk can illuminate an enemy target without that enemy knowing that he was illuminated, working perfectly with the reversible canards. Unlike older designs the IRCNS released low energy pulses over a wide frequency band using a technique called spread spectrum transmission, consequently, because it has lower energy emissions and it doesn’t follow standard emission modules, the Hawk will be harder to detect.

The IRCNS also includes an Inverse Synthetic Aperture radar [ISAR], while allows it to capture an image of a target, and consequently, the pilot can compare that picture with the picture stored on the aircraft’s database. ISAR also helps to create a 3D recreation of the battlefield, which uplinks to the EFIS.

The Hawk 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.

This latter radar conglomerate is the secondary sensor version, subordinate to the IRCNS. It is to say, it’s a secondary detection system that can be taken to full advantage by the pilot.

The nose of the aircraft incorporates an active electronically scanned array for passive homing, and a radar warning receiver aerials [RWR]

There’s also a series of LIDAR sensor systems installed throughout the aircraft, including a single down-looking LIDAR system underneath the nose of the Hawk. There are also two wide LIDAR apertures on the front and end of the aircraft, located in hidden pockets to reduce RCS. All three LIDAR systems work similarly, and they all incorporate Luftkrieg’s second generation LIDAR technology. The Hawk’s 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 missile’s heterodyne-reception optical RADAR uses a standard configuration [transmitter laser > exit optics > atmospheric propagation path > target] and [photodetector > photocurrent processing > image processing / BermCombiner/ local oscillator entrance optics]. The Silencer's transmitter is a Casegrainian telescope, which works much like the photonic mast on an ultra-modern submarine.

Armament Stores:
The Lu-45 Hawk has four optional external hardpoints capable of carrying five hundred kilograms of armaments to seven hundred kilograms of armament each, depending on its location on the wing. These can be either ignored or used as external fuel tanks for extended ranges, although this would substantially increase RCS. Nonetheless, they are there for uncommon missions and such. There are also four bottom mounted missile bays and two internal hardpoints. All the hardpoints are designed to sustain 6G turns, and can sustain minor shrapnel damage without problems

The Hawks preferably use the Kriegzimmer designed AAM 176 BVRAAM, which is an extremely long range air to air missile, predecessor of the first of such to be designed, as it was first classified as a long range air to air missile, but sustains similar to higher ranges as foreign ELRAAMs, thus it was fitting to change its classification. The Silencer must be bought separately from Kriegzimmer, but the Hawk also can be changed upon export to fit either Warsaw Pact air to air missiles or NATO air to air missiles – however, this must be requested before export, or else the client nation has to change it upon their own accord.

Although not typically used by the Empire, the Hawk can also carry ALARM and HARM missiles, and other air to surface variants, including Kriegzimmer’s MLAM-2 missile, and the joint Guffingfordi/Imperial sledgehammer and shockhound avenger missiles. Again, it can also be changed to carry WP or NATO designated weaponry.

The Hawk also carried two single miniature gatling gun, with a revolving chamber, guided by the IRCNS and the three separate LIDARs. It’s designed to act as a small airborne close-in weapon system, located in internal storage bays in the center of the aircraft, pointing towards opposite direction, offering an almost three hundred and sixty degree range, although there are certain blind spots for the guns. Closer to the nose there is also a larger, but relatively hidden, gatling styled 28mm gun, with a two hundred round magazine of mostly penetration rounds.

Conclusions:
The Hawk is destined to be a major contestant in future wars, and has guaranteed continued Imperial superiority over at least their own skies. However, one cannot totally disregard foreign designs, and many of them are superior in their own right. More accurately, the decision of which aircraft to buy should be completed after one had fully studied the aircraft and had decided which aircraft is better for one’s own strategy. Of course, the Lu-45 Hawk is meant for a strategy that closely revolves around that of the Empire. Nonetheless, the Lu-45 Hawk is a great purchase for any developing or developed nation; that cannot be undermined.

[b][u]GLI-76 Falcon VTOL Multi-Role Fighter
[A Joint Hailandkill/Macabee Design]

Abstract: The project was originally instated by Hailandkill as a new aircraft for use on his Maiden class SSCVN, however, after a series of grueling delays the original project was taken to Kriegzimmer. The ultimate team of engineers from both countries, ranging from aeronautical, aerospace and computer engineers, as well as a host of mechanical and electronic engineers, released a design that would forever be dubbed the GLI-76 Falcon. After a series of tests, including those for individual parts to the aircraft, and experiment flights the GLI-76 was deemed perfect for release a full thirty-six months after the beginning of the project, dubbed EXG.111.

The idea behind the GLI-76 was not make it into a prospective 'end all-be all' design. Indeed, the possibilities were that it within itself would not be able to stand up against larger and heavier air superiority fighters. But, that was never the intention of the engineers, and it had always been that the GLI-76 Falcon would remain a small, maneuverable, and efficient multi role fighter to be based off the limited capability SSCVN and even the CVNs, being a better option over the Lu-25 Black Mariah, which had several of the problems that the Lu-5 had [which was recently replaced by the Lu-45 Hawk]. The GLI-76 would remain a much more conservative and non-controversial aircraft, produced simply to base a large number of them off any given CVN or SSCVN. Indeed, the Luftwaffe had announced plans to drop the Lu-12 Canary from service and simply replace them with the Falcon, which amounts to around three thousand purchased GLI-76s just for the Luftwaffe.

The limited capabilities of the GLI-76 included a low velocity, due in part to the single engine power plant, and to the fact that the size of the airframe put restrictions on speed due to the fact that it most likely would not withstand the pressure of increased air resistance and consequent heat. It also is limited by the fact that it has very small payload ability, although for the purposes of this flight a large payload would be largely irreverent anyways.

The obvious advantages to the GLI-76 include its size as opposed to the larger ASF aircraft currently in use around the world, which means that it has a larger chance to use its stealth characteristics fully, and that it includes several aircraft and sensor systems that permit it to retain its excellence in the years to come. Indeed, the GLI-76 might be one of the new designs that underscore Kriegzimmer's striving to become some of the most excellent arms manufacturers currently in business. With the release of the GLI-34 Albatross Heavy Bomber and the Lu-45 Hawk this becomes more of a reality as time passes by.

The original program's cost was set at around eleven billion Reichmarks, although as the project continued it was obvious it would cost more than that. The ultimate cost came at twenty-seven billion Reichmarks, distributed amongst all major subordinate arms companies working for Kriegzimmer, and those Hailandkill companies that also put forward a lot of technologies and thoughts. However, the final product was well worth the money. Indeed, the Golden Kriegsmarine has opted to scrap or sell its host of Lu-25s and replace them with the GLI-76 Falcon VTOL within the next eight years. It's not known how many will be purchased from Hailandkill from their own weapon manufacturers, although the order will also be substantial. Kriegzimmer has also prepared for sales throughout the international armaments market.

Airframe: The airframe is made of ten titanium ribs with a hull composed of a nickel-aluminum alloy mixed with sturdy ceramics, giving the airframe some mass, but avoiding making it heavy. Indeed, as compared to other aircraft, the GLI-76 is considerably lighter in weight. The hull has an outward layer of a plastic and glass composite. This is somewhat of a tweaked design taken from basic Norwegian shipping which includes a smaller radar signature within the context that this either absorbs or deflects in other directions light waves due to the nature of glass in general. Support beams and structures throughout the airframe are built out of carbon fiber.

All angles of the aircraft follow the standard equation of Brewster's Angle, giving it a substantially lower radar cross section [RCS]. The angles are designed for polarization which means that the radar wave will be reflected at another angle, and not at the expected incident angle. All of the airframe's angles are at around fifty-six degrees, just like the Lu-45 Hawk and GLI-34 Albatross. This also includes the outwards angling of the two tails at the end of the aircraft, providing for stable aerodynamics and a smaller RCS, as opposed to having a single vertical tail. For further stealth the entire aircraft is covered with the same radiation absorbent material [RAM] as other Kriegzimmer aerial designs, which absorbs radar anywhere from 3MHz to 6 GHz, which is basically a composition of honeycomb RAM, foam RAM and black RAM. Doubled with the layer of glass underneath, there is a heavy absorption rate, making the GLI-76 extremely stealthy in subsonic velocities.

The aircraft is also layered with a third generation single crystal super alloy named RENE N6, and the heavier coatings of this can be found around the nose, the junctions of the wings, the wings themselves, the tail area, the intakes, and other areas of high heat proportions and exposion to the natural elements. RENE N6 has the advantage of having a low susceptibility to a hydrogen embrittlement environment and extreme resistance to heat, allowing the GLI-76 greater velocities with a smaller power plant, which ultimately aids it in the reduction of its infra-red signature in the whole picture. Nonetheless, no one has ever considered the super alloy to be an end all-be all, and certainly nobody expects it to live up to such charges.

Testing conducted throughout the program on the airframe, including creep pressures under high heat and high friction, and velocity tests in wind tunnels have given good reports on the airframe of the GLI-76 and have noted its design to be one far superior to previous aircraft, for example, the F-15 and F-35. Research on the topic also includes a variety of pre-existing data on the materials used, including several articles and papers on the effects of super alloys and such. Indeed, the vast majority of the information used to even begin on the design of the airframe was received through a collection of past resources. As a consequence, the program engineers had churned out a very good design of their own.

The wings follow that of the Lu-45 Hawk, as well as other more modern designs, which is the switchblade concept. Ideally, through a series of hydraulics and electrical impulses the wings would be able to sweep from a standard position to a forward position, allowing the wings to basically cover three vital positions; the standard position, a forward swept position and a delta wing style, giving three different aerodynamic qualities. Indeed, the first position, having the wings perpendicular to the body would allow for slower runs for more accurate precision body if that was the objective of the given aircraft, while the forward swept wings would allow for dashing maneuverability in aerial combat, while the final position, with the wings fully swept forward in a smaller delta wing version would allow the GLI-76 extremely high velocities.

Nonetheless, these concepts do come with a considerable cost increase in both developing and expanding the concept and the manufacturing of these wings and electronics. It is expected, however, that through the months to come advances in the process of manufacturing will severely lower the price although this isn't guaranteed. Past experiences have said that this would technically be capable, but again, no research team has yet been assigned for the task, so the price still remains that originally high price, although it is considerably lower than other air superiority aircraft due to its restricted size.

Finally, the GLI-76 incorporates a reversible canard system, with two canards located under the fuselage, allowing the aircraft to point one way, while flying another. This means that the aircraft's sensor systems will still be able to track. It's a widely used concept, also seen on the Lu-45 Hawk.

Power plant: The developing of the power plant was perhaps the most devious of the entire project's requirements since it was the most difficult to agree on between engineers. Some had opted for a dual engine design, while most decided that a single engine design would be best. In the context of the whether the aircraft would have one engine, as opposed to having two engines, it was finally decided that the GLI-76 would have a power plant of a single engine. The other principle problem was how to deal with the creep, pressures on the engines, the heat, and hydrogen embrittlement of the casting for the single engine. The third largest problem was how to deal with the infra-red signature of a single engine design.

To deal with the first issue, the mechanical and aerospace engineering team managed to make available testing grounds in Arras, where the general lack of high urbanization made it possible for high noise renderings and frequent engine testing. The tests included a series of flights with different dual engine designs, and then with single engine designs. The final engine was one of the variants of the single engine design, putting out thirty thousand pound force [lbf] of thrust using a low-bypass turbofan with the blades and fans designed out of mono-crystalline material. Subsequent observing during the first system development and demonstration phase [SDD] noticed high creep and fatigue due to general levels of heat and friction. Consequently, the engine was taken back for revisions, and what came out was the same engine coated with a layer of Thymonel 8, as well as two auxiliary layers of CMSX-11B and CMSX-116, respectively. During the second round of development and demonstration the engines came out perfect, just like expected.

For VTOL capabilities the aircraft was given two thrust vector shaft-driven jet systems underneath the wings, while doors installed next to these jets allow for vertical lift and stabilization and open/close on command through standard hydraulics tied in to the rest of the flaps on the wing. These particular 'engines' were purchased off Luftkrieg by GLI some six months prior to the release of the aircraft.

Apart from that, the aircraft also uses counter flow thrust vectoring [CTV] for greater maneuverability at higher velocities. Although CTV has limitations, especially when the aircraft is flying faster than Mach 2, these limitations shouldn't make themselves evident on the GLI-76 since the aircraft is specifically designed to never break such velocities. Indeed, the maximum velocity of the GLI-76 remains at Mach 2.4, while the cruising velocity is as high as Mach 1.7, although the aircraft is truly designed for cruising done at subsonic velocities, merely having transonic capabilities for the sake of modern warfare expectations, and to offer lucrative options to potential foreign buyers.

With the second problem in the power plant design solved with the inclusion of several heat and fatigue resistant single crystal super alloys only the third problem remained. This was solved relatively easily by the inclusion of IR suppressants with ratings being the same used on the Rafale. Because the heat given by the engines of the GLI-76 would be especially lower than those on the French aircraft the heat suppressant characteristics would also be higher, which means that the infrared signature offered by the GLI-76 Falcon remains relatively low both at outtakes, intakes, and other areas of high heat.

Avionics and Systems: The great advantage of Macabee aircraft remain on the GLI-76 since all electronic parts are line replaceable units and shop replaceable units, making the Falcon’s electronic suit much more logistics friendly. Furthermore, it offers a highly ad vance avionics and system characteristic for the aircraft, making it a much more demanded aircraft than others. Indeed, the infamy of Kriegzimmer's standard excellence in their product's electronics transfers over to the GLI-76s design, including an extraordinary job done by Hailand kill in the design of the side stick and throttle controls.

All systems are linked directly to the pilot through a series of screens arrayed in front of him, including a heads-up display [HUD] on the pilot's helmet, following the design of the Eurofighter, F-35 and Rafael. Arrayed infront of him are six polychromatic liquid crystal matrix display [ALMCD] screens and four up-front display screens which host the electronic flight instrumentation system [EFIS] and Integrated Communications Navigation Identification Avionics [ICNIA] suit. The entire avionics and systems suit is powered by a singe Common Integrated Processor [CIP], known as [i]Hans, which also powers the Integrated Electronic Warfare System , which takes advantage of high speed databuses. The CIP is rated at two thousand million instructions per second [Mips], with signal processing rated at fifty billion operations per second , aided by the [b]very high-speed integrated circuit (VHSIC) technology, and separate modules, constructed out of already well tested titanium/ceramic superconducting wires.

After healthy experiences within the Lu-45 Hawk the program also opted to include a Communication/Navigation/Identification [CNI] system, with its own [i]synthetic aperture array, with also links to te identification friend or foe program, which all composes a very effecient inter-aircraft and group cooperation, along with the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System [JTID] system and a Intra-Flight Data Link [IFDL] suit. The level of options for intra-flight cooperation is simply [i]spectacular.

For stock and warfare management the aircraft includes a Electronic Warfare [EW] system and a Stores Management System [SMS] system which continously work and cooperate together for a much more effective suit. The latter is expanded by two subordinate systems, including the Vehicle Management System[/b [VMS] and Integrated Vehicle System Controller , all in the avionics racks. The former, the EW, is for automatic countermeasure dispensing, as well as two other systems, the [b]Advance Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasure System [AIDECS] and a bit more revelant, the electronic counter-measure system [ECMS], which does it's job jointly with the EW system.

The pilot's well being is controlled and sensored by an Environment Awareness Module [EAM] and a Onboard Oxygen-Generating System (OBOGS). Furthermore, the pilot can effectively monitor the situation around the aircraft components using Engines Indicating and Crew Alerting System [EICAS], an Altitude and Heading Reference System [AHRS] and an Air Data Computer [ADC]. The primary flight controls come thorugh the Electrohydrostatic Actuation System [EAS], allowing control over the flaps and thrust vectoring if needed.

For navigational aids the GLI-76 includes several old and new systems, including a satellite based reality reproduction [SBRR] system and a hybrid navigational system, which works with gyro inertial guidance and a [i]global positioning system [GPS]. For an all purpose navigational system the Hawk has the tactical air navigational system [TACAN], which is supplemented by a terrain profiling and matching system [TERPROM], much like that used by the Tomahawk missile, which also works hand in hand with the global positioning system and other reconnaissance satellite systems.

Sensors: All sensors are collectively handled and constrolled from the central sensor system [CSS], esigned to take over the confusion of having separate sensor systems, acting like a guide to the pilot if the pilot is working in a compressed time table. This system, likewise to the Lu-45 Hawk, is connected to the Imperial Radio Detection and Ranging Central Nervous System , as are all aircraft designs by Kriegzimmer and bought variants from abroad, including those purchased from Juuministra. The IRCNS system allows for a fully integrated multi-radar suit, including a [i]solid-state microwave module and a electronically scanned array [ESA], which has a wider bandwidth, while using less volume and prime power. The Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) capability of the radar defeats conventional RWR/ESM systems, which means that the Falcon can illuminate an enemy target without that enemy knowing that it was illuminated. Furthermore, with an Inverse Synthetic Aperture radar , the pilot can illuminate a target, tell it's features and compare it to the aircraft's database of foreign aircraft.

The aircraft also includes a [i]bi-static phased array radar, with phase-shifters to avoid moving components in the radar, thus allowing the aircraft to retain the same level of stealth. Coupled with a infra-red search and track system , the system has a two hundred kilometer and fifty kilometer tracking ability, respectively, while including a radar warning receiver aerials [RWR] for basic protection services.

There’s also a series of LIDAR sensor systems installed throughout the aircraft, including a single down-looking LIDAR system underneath the nose of the Hawk. There are also two wide LIDAR apertures on the front and end of the aircraft, located in hidden pockets to reduce RCS. All three LIDAR systems work similarly, and they all incorporate Luftkrieg’s second generation LIDAR technology. The Falcon’s 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 missile’s heterodyne-reception optical RADAR uses a standard configuration [transmitter laser > exit optics > atmospheric propagation path > target] and [photodetector > photocurrent processing > image processing / BermCombiner/ local oscillator entrance optics]. The Silencer's transmitter is a Casegrainian telescope, which works much like the photonic mast on an ultra-modern submarine.

There are several targetting technologies including on the aircraft, including a electro-optical targeting system [EOTS] and FLIR, using a [i]charged couple device CCD camera, which provides long-range detection and precision targeting, along with a [b]distributed aperture system [DAS]. EOTS is embedded under the nose, while FLIR and DAS is included throughout the design.

Weapon Stores: The aircraft has two internal stocks, with a total of six hardpoints, which provide room for a series of new weaponry being released along with the GLI-76 Falcon. Technically, the entire payload of the Falcon remains at three thousand pounds. Weapons compatible with the design include the AAM.176 BVRAAM [r. 275 kilometers], the AAM.37 AMRAAM [r. 120 kilomters] and the AAM.21 SRAAM [r. 30 kilometers]. Other weapons include the GUH.212.A JASSM, GUH.212.B nuclear tipped JASSM, the GUH.212.C JASSM-ER, the RIC.617.A JDAM, the RIC.617.B JDAM and the RIC.617.B nuclear JDAM, amongst a host of thers.

Although the total stockpile of the aircraft is not entirely outstanding, the aircraft is lighter which is of utmost importance, and highly realistic in its design objectives in the years that it will be of service within the airforces of multiple countries.

Sorry for my late replying for the rest of the bidders, but I like taking everything nice careful. Now is the price in USDs? Since it probably is that is great since the SMM (Silvarian Mark of Moorington) is 1=1.6667$ or about 1=1.50. The Heavy Artillery bid I am placing is for C-24 'Big Gun' with option 1 for the armor. C1-Assault Rifle sounds like a good bet but just for right now I want 50 C-24s, and I regret to inform Kroando that Moorington High Command will be once again open for a Main Battle Tank bid. But if no one jumps for it we will re-commence with the payment of 100,000 Kraken IIs.

I will hope to buy about 24 (or two Moorish Flights) Lu-45 Hawk Air Superiority Aircraft while the Multi-Role Version is not what Moorish High Command is looking for (we are looing for something more armored and with more weapons). Moorish High Comand will happily buy 150 Type 101 APC/ GPASTT for the IFV role but is still considering the Type 101 SPG/H/M for the Light Artillery Role.

We admit that the GLI-76 Falcon is somewhat of a conventional design; we do have a design called the Lu-12 Canary, but being an older design we were afraid of putting it up. [OOC: It's not bad in terms of technology; just the write-up isn't as good - it's a good aircraft, but I dislike the write-up I gave it.] Regardless, the twenty-four Lu-45 Hawks will be built within two weeks and shipped within the third week. We thank Moorington for their hospitality to our designs. If you're still looking for an artillery piece we do offer a self-propelled field gun. Anyways, again, thank you.

AIDI will provide 150 of the Type 101 APC / GPSTT for 112.5 million US$.

As the performance of the 125mm gun is not stated it fires a 23kg projectile at 710 m/s. AIDI will be willing to lend a Type 101 SPG/H/M for trials, as well as trained operators.

We at AIDI also suggest you look into the Type 106 Weapon System's Rifle and Carbine for your basic infantry weapon.

The order 50 C-24 'Big Guns' has been confirmed at the price of 52.5 Million USD. If the purchase of 100,000 Kraken II's is fufilled, we have calculated a total price of 1.05 Trillion Dollars, which has, due to the size of the order, been lowered to the price of 1.00 Trillion. This potential order is quite large on any scale, and thus will take some time to fufill. 20,000 Kraken II's are currently ready for shipment, but the others will take some time.

Offical Letter from AIDI International HQ, Monkey 13 City, Potty 5

To: Moorish High Comand
From: Scot Sterling AIDI Spokesman

"Moorington High Command is interested but the information is lacking in several categories. (Range, Rate of Fire,)"

The rate of fire is varable by the use of the gas regulators and pnumatic fire rate reduction. The guns work fine at rates of fire up to 1200 rounds / minuet and probobly could work fine even higher then that but higher rates of fire reduce accuracy, and increase ammo use and wear on the gun.
Range depends on what ammo is used more then all else. With a round such as .30-06 or 7.8x55mm Type 76 it can be used against targets at ranges of about 1km terrain and the user allowing. With less powerful round say 6.5mm Grendel or 6.7x39mm Type 106 the weapon is better suited to ranges of 600m (or some say 800m). Range is a very subjective field in small arms. Theoretically 7.8x55mm Type 76 could fire a round over 4km but at such range accuracy, wind, the inability to see the target... would make such fire very useless. We can assure you that for a general infantry rifle or even a one man portable machinegun the rifle system will be far more limited by the user then weapon.

The assault rifle was designed for engagements of 300m or less. As this is the range where most combat (infantry) was found to take place. Use of the weapon beyond this range is beyond the ability of most soldiers. The battle rifle is designed for combat at ranges of 1km or more. The rifle should be suited to your military’s demands. State the range and we will find the best round for that range.

The performance of Potty 5 rounds relative to RL rounds
The performance of Potty 5 rounds relative to other Potty 5 rounds

5.6x39 Type 106 is superior to any 5.56mm NATO round
Its high velocity and low recoil allow even poorly trained soldiers to be accurate at most ranges.

6.7x39 Type 106 is almost identical to 6.5mm Grendel
This round has very good ballistics and will out perform any other Type 106 round at range. It also offers high velocity and low recoil.

7.8x39 Type 106 is superior to any 7.62mm M1943 round.
This round is similar in performance to the 5.6mm round but with greater recoil (but still low) and lower velocity (not to low). The greater inertia means the round is better able to penetrate foliage and other light cover with out being deflected.

7.8x55 Type 76 is almost identical to .30-06 (actually superior)
This is a full power rifle round. As such it is not suited as a general issue weapon for most troops. The high power of the round translates to significant recoil but at the ranges that it is most likely to be used a less powerful round would do just as well. Also the ammo is considerably heavier then the Type 106 6.7mm.

MHC will happily buy 100,000,000 Type 106 Rifles with rounds that can reach with 100% accuracy to 1000 meters (or about 1 kilometer, right?).

(I do not have a storefront, but I do have a tech page. http://s14.invisionfree.com/Kroando_Tech_Inc/index.php?act=idx )

Thank you.

What do you mean by 100% accuracy?

Our marksman's versions are capable of sub .7 MoA with match ammo (1.2 MoA with standard ammo) but at 1km the accuracy of such a weapon means that all rounds will land within 11.6m of the point they are fired at.

The normal human eye is only considered able to seperate paterns that are 1 MoA apart.

Even the most accurate sniper rifles (bolt action weapons) only achive sub 0.2 MoA at (3.4m at 1km) and they will run thoushands of dolars each (DSR-1 is about $10,000). Most marksmen also would be unable to achive accuracy with such weapons.

In a hypothetical enviroment the weapon could hit an bulls eye from 1,000 meters.

Such a weapon can not be made unless the bull’s eye has a radius greater then 3 meters.

(Modern Military Sniper Rifles have ranges breaking the 2 Mile Mark with ease...)

Longest shots

(2002) 2.43km from a .50 BMG Bolt Action Sniper Rifle. The round spent about 4 seconds in the air and fell 44.5m. (This is just over 1 1/2 miles)

(1967) 2.25km from a .50 BMG Machinegun

The above are flukes, and are more chance then a result of the skill of the shooter or accuracy of the rifle.

In reality it is very difficult to hit a target at 1km reliably and snipers are often limited to a maximum range of 600 to 800m for hitting a human target reliably. The bullet can go the distance and kill the target but the uncontrollable factors limit even the best men and rifles.

When used for suppressive fire, targeting vehicles or with an area target the range can be extended but not against a point target. The use of a rifle as a long range weapon is seen in WW1 where companies of men would fire there rifles creating effects that, if the men were good enough, would be mistaken for machineguns.

The day of the rifle for long range as the standard infantry weapon is over.

.7 MoA with match ammo (1.2 MoA with standard ammo)

That will be excellent, how about 100,000,000 kilograms of 1.2 MoA SA and .7 MoA.

Type 106 Rifles (508mm barrel, marksman version)
$1,750 each. In 6.7mm x 55mm (Has better balistics then 7.8mm x 55mm and higher velocity as well as less recoil but a litle less stoping power)

100,000,000 * 1,750 = Impossible for you to afford or us provide. We can provide 20,000,000 million a year at a cost of 35,000 million US$ a year.



Type 76 rounds
100,000,000kg of ammo. 47 rounds per kilogram. That is 4,761,904,761 rounds of ammo times 2 (Match and normal)

Standard is AP (asymmetric tungsten carbide core) with one in 5 rounds being a tracer. This goes for $0.75 per round.

Instead of the tungsten we could use steel cores, this is much cheaper. This will result in $0.25 a round. We do not consider this an AP round but some may due to it's hard core.

Match bullets are an extra $0.20 a round.

So 4,761,904,761 rounds (of match, AP) will cost 4,523 million US$.
and 4,761,904,761 rounds (of non-match, AP) will cost 3,571 million US$.
total $8094 million

Or 4,761,904,761 rounds (of match) will cost 2,619 million US$.
and 4,761,904,761 rounds (of non-match) will cost 1,190 million US$.
total $3809 million

Though we can not provide you with that number at this time we can fufill that number in 5 years.

Pale Rider Arms would be happy to supply you with several of our high-grade infantry weapons, most notably the M22 series High Velocity Assault Rifle, and the M220 sniper rifle, accurate to 0.5 minutes of angle. We also offer the M210 high-calibre sniper rifle, which fires 13mm rounds to 0.4 meters of angle.

[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.

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.

Standard Ejermacht Artillery Rounds

TIR.11.155 HE Round
Description: The TIR.11.155 High Explosive shell is merely an empty casting full of Octagen using a small brazen fuse, although there have been claims that the Ejermacht has issued the same round without the fuze, dispersing it randomly within stockpiles of the round; the idea is to defeat shortstop equipped ordnance. The round itself is rocket assisted, and out of the muzzle of the Corbulo has an extremely amazing range.
Range: 80kms [standard]; 30kms [howitzer]; 100kms [Corbulo]
Velocity: Mach 4-6
Warhead: High Explosive
Guidance: Inertial and GPS
Replacement Cost: 7,000 USD
Production Rights Cost: 25 Million USD



TIR.76.155 ER DPICM Round
Description: The TIR.76 Extended Range Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition is the long range dispenser artillery round of the Ejermacht, able to carry up to seventy-two small anti-armor/personnel grenade submunitions. The round is capable of successfully engaging unarmored vehicles, soft skinned vehicles and personnel, at extremely long ranges, which amount to some forty kilometers for a howitzer and around eighty kilometers to one hundred kilometers for the advance field artillery system Corbulo. The round is designed with GPS and inertial guidance, and's burst radius has been reduced to ten meters. The round has also been improved upon the XM982 design, incorporated rocket assistance.
Range: 40kms [Howitzer]; 90kms [Field Gun]; 120kms [Field Gun ETC/EM assisted]
Velocity: Mach 4 to Mach 7
Warhead: 72 Anti-Armor or Anti-Personnel Grenade Submunitions
Fire Capabilities: Non Line of Site; Fire and Forget
Guidance: GPS, Inertial, Millimeter Wave
Replacement Cost: 12,000 USD
Production Rights: 40 Million USD



TIR.21.155 SADARM Round
Description: This Sense and Destroy Armor Munition is an extended program to the M898 munition of the US Army. The round carries a host of anti-armor submunitions that release themselves on top of enemy light armoured vehicles, penetrating the top armour. How it works is that the round uses a parachute like device to slowly fall over the target and at a certain height, dictated by a range of sensors, the round divides into two submunition penetrators that use their own sensors to search and destroy for enemy vehicles. When the target is located the submunition fires an explosively formed penetrator [EFP] at it. Under the best circumstances the TIR.21.155 SADARM has been able to destroy two vehicles with one round.
Range: 35kms [howitzer]; 50kms [artillery]; 80kms [EM or ETC artillery]
Velocity: Mach 4-7; terminal varies
Warhead: Anti-armour submunitions
Guidance: Inertial, GPS and Millimeter Wave
Replacement Cost: 12,000 USD
Production Rights Cost: 40 Million USD



TIR.33.155 TCR Round
Description: This Trajectory Correctable Munition is designed to be a cross between the SADARM and the DPICM munitions, although the guidance is a bit different, although more accurate. The round is designed to be modular, allowing any country to drop either the DPICM or SADARM rounds and just use this one, producing them to fit either role - but the casting itself would be the same, making the round consequently much cheaper to design, especially if a country designs both. At some point it is hoped that the Ejermacht will just begin to order variants of the TIR.33.155 instead of using both the TIR.21.155 and the TIR.76.155. The round is also wooden requiring absolutely no user maintenance, making them cheaper in that respect as well, with a storage life of twenty years.
Range: 37kms [howitzer]; 60 kms [artillery]; 100 kms [ETC/EM artillery]
Velocity: Mach 2-7 depending on variant
Warhead: HE, SADARM, DPICM
Guidance: GPS, INS, Millimeter Wave, Projectile Tracking System, Terminal Homing, Counter Radar and UAV directed [optional].
Replacement Cost: 9,000 USD
Production Rights Cost: 50 Million USD



TIR.217.155 HD Round
Description: The TIR.217.155 HD shel, just like the TIR.11.155 HE round,l is merely an empty casting full of HD blister gas using a small brazen fuse, although there have been claims that the Ejermacht has issued the same round without the fuze, dispersing it randomly within stockpiles of the round; the idea is to defeat shortstop equipped ordnance. The round itself is rocket assisted, and out of the muzzle of the Corbulo has an extremely amazing range.
Range: 80kms [standard]; 30kms [howitzer]; 100kms [Corbulo]
Velocity: Mach 4-6
Warhead: Blister Gas
Guidance: INS, GPS
Replacement Cost: 7,500 USD
Production Rights Cost: 20 Million USD

TIR.17.155 RAAM Round
Description: The TIR.17 Remote Anti-Armor Munition is designed to be able to carry anti-armor mine munitions far distances, allowing to set up remote mine fields within minutes, especially in the face of an enemy advance. The round, if produced by Kriegzimmer, carries a single type of mine, set off through sensors which detail pressure and proximity, being quite accurate, and rather hard to see and deactivate in time. They are not designed to destroy tanks but rather blow off parts of the tracks, allowing further artillery and other strikes to deal with the now stopped armour. The rounds first battle testing grounds were at Ruska against Havenite [SafeHaven2] armour, and proved to be quite successful. The mine has a 48 hour lifespan.
Range: 30 to 70 kilometers
Velocity: Mach 2 to Mach 5
Warhead: Submunitions; 60 anti-tank mines
Guidance: Inertial and GPS
Replacement Cost: 8,000 USD
Production Rights Cost: 30 Million USD


TIR.81.155 ADAM Round
Description: The TIR.81 Area Denial Anti-personnel Mine works just like the TIR.17 RAAM mine, and is in fact the same casting as the TIR.17, using modular parts, only the submunitions are exchanged with anti-personnel mines. The TIR.81 is most of the time used hand in hand with the TIR.17s, providing anti-personnel and anti-tank mine fields against fast advancing armies, and has the distinct possibilities of slowing advances down. The mine has a life span, just like the mine of its TIR.17 counterpart, of 48 hours.
Range: 30 to 80 kilometers
Velocity: Mach 2 to 5
Warhead: Submuntions; 80 anti-personnel mines
Guidance: Inertial and GPS
Replacement Cost: 8,000 USD
Production Rights Cost: 30 Million USD


TIR.31.155 AFAP Round
Description: The TIR.31 is a nuclear tipped Artillery-Fired Atomic Projectile, with rocket assist, offering it an excellent range. It's a mini tactical nuclear weapon, designed to destroy large amounts of enemy personnel and vehicles within single strikes. The shell has never been used by the Empire's forces, although it is always stockpiled as a possibility. In fact, official numbers on stockpiles don't exist, but it's been estimated that the Empire holds around two hundred to three hundreds of these types of rounds on reserve and that they are rushed over to areas of high priority in case the war becomes a nuclear war. The nuclear warhead also use the effect of extended radiation [ER] to increase the killing power of the shell.
Range: 80 Kilometers
Velocity: Mach 6
Warhead: Nuclear [small]
Guidance: Inertial, GPS, Millimeter Wave
Replacement Cost: 275,000 USD
Production Rights Cost: 300 Million USD

I am sorry but AIDI (or any Potty 5 run company) does not produce any 13mm rounds (nor 6mm HV caseless). We produce ammo in the types listed, as well as a great verity of rounds that are based off of the M1943 7.62mm [7.62x39mm Russian/Soviet] round (6mm SPC, 6.5mm Grendel, 5.45x39mm, 9x39mm, and some others)

I am also sorry for any typos, and inconveniences.

But we can supply our own weapons and ammo as stated above

While AIDI does not produce these rounds, Pale Rider Arms will be glad to fill your ammunition needs. We offer a wide range of rounds, from tungsten penetrators to white phosphorous core incendiary rounds. We will provide you with pricing information as soon as possible.

The GLI-34 Albatross Heavy Bomber seems like the machine Moorington High Command is looking for especially the amount of bombs and distance that is avaliable to just a 2 member aircraft. We think it would be the most efficient route to buy 100 of these hulks.

With the Corbulo Self-Propelled 155mm Field Gun, Moorington High Command is very happy with the finding of this seemly perfect weapon for the Light Artillery Catorgory, this is excactly wht we are looking for, and will commence with buying of 500.
