The Armed Repblic of Curtissm is seeking new weapons from manufacturers willing to supply top of the line weapons.

First, I am looking for a multi-purpose assualt-rifle must provide semi-automatic nad automatic fire. Underbarrel grenades are also needed. Going to need about 100,000 and manufacturing rights.

Secondly, I am looking for a new grenade. Should have blast from about 25 to 30 feet. 25,000 are needed and manufacturing rights.

Thirdly, The Armed Republic of Curtissm is desperating needing a new main battle tank. Looking for 6' caliber or larger. 50,000 are needed promptly and manufacturing rights.

Fourthly, an armed vehicle is needed for the transportation of Curtissm many officials. I would preferr that it would not look like a military vehicle, but profressional. Capable of taking heavy fire.

Thank you.
Also include prices!

Pale Rider Arms would happily supply you with the latest in small arms technology, the PRA M25 HVAR. With integral SmartGun system, accuracy is excellent, even when firing from the hip! Pale Rider Arms can meet your order, including DPRs (domestic production rights) for the low price of only 3,000,000,000 USD.

M25 HVAR

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v652/blaesa/PRA%20junk/M25BullpupRifle.jpg

Length: 560mm
Barrel Length: 491mm
UGL Barrel Length: 214mm
Cartridge: 6mm x 50mm high velocity caseless, 30mm grenade
Muzzle Velocity: 5000 fps
Ammuntion: 60 6mm, 6 30mm grenades
Modes of Fire: Safe, Semi Auto, 3 round burst, full auto, grenade
Mass (Empty): 4.1 kg
Mass (Fully Loaded): 6.42 kg
Features: Recessed top mounting rail, integral smartgun system
Cost: 2700 USD (includes set of smartgun goggles)

The successor to the popular M22 series HVAR, the M25 was designed as a lighter version of the M22, while maintaining its accuracy and firepower. In order to meet these goals, a bull-pup configuration was adopted, shrinking the over all size of the weapon. The 40mm grenade launcher was replaced with the smaller 30mm variant, not only reducing weight but increasing logistical efficiency, as it shares its ammunition with the GL series of launchers. Other features were improved, notably the addition of a full integral smartgun system, as well as a large magazine.

MBT
HT-106 armed with 155/152 mm autoloading ETC main gun.

About 12 million each fully loaded, though for MBT status it would only cost 6 million to outfit and is the suggested retail value.

Worked out that it would require 20,000,000 HP generator in order to chage an electro-reactive armoured panel in 3 minutes to sufficiently help deflect a 12 kg penetrator at mach 5 (penetrator will not vaporize, deflects shot 45 degrees if it hits perpinducular)...

For your assault rifle requirement Crookfur Consultancies are delighted to offer the SX23A1:

SX23A1 Caseless Assault rifle

http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/images/SX23A1basic.jpg

Round: 6.6x48mm Caseless
Rate of fire: 800rpm
Barrel length: 550mm
Rifle twist: 1/5.5inchs
Overall length: 1190mm (stock extended)/ 940mm(stock folded)
Weight (gun empty): 3.8kg
Magazine capacity: 30rounds
Fire modes: Safe/Semi/Full Auto

Mechanism description:
Uses a falling breach block mechanism, similar to that of the Steyr ACR and G11 PDW. From an empty, uncocked gun the magazine is inserted and the charging handle worked. This lowers the breach block and pushes a round backwards from the magazine, when the round has been fed the breach block is moved upwards into the firing position in line with the barrel and the hammer cocked, the gun is now ready for firing. On pulling the trigger the hammer is released firing the round and a portion of the propellant gas drives a gas blow back mechanism to lower the breach block, load it, raise it and recock the hammer. A portion of the propellant gas is also used to drive forward a weighted piston under the barrel, the movement of this piston is synchronised with the main mechanism and is designed to counteract the recoil forces generated by the rearward movement of the mechanism. A further device is installed so that when a magazine runs dry the weapon mechanism pauses with the breach block in the down position and the feeding leaver ready to load another round, on insertion of a fresh magazine the loading action is completed. This “hold open” system can be disengaged by working the charging handle to uncock the weapon In the event of a misfire or dud the unfired round is pushed out of the rear of the chamber and ejected from the bottom of the weapon by a manual cocking of the weapon.

Rifle Construction:
Most of the body is manufactured from high grade polymer with most components of the mechanism being milled from steel or high grade titanium alloys, the barrel consists of a lightweight titanium overwrap with a Molybdenum-Rhenium (Mo-Re) liner for increased service life and general wear resistance.

Gun Features:
The SX23A1 features a highly effective muzzle brake which acts to reduce felt recoil by as much as 35%, this combined with the “balanced” action system and the already acceptable recoil forces of the ammunition make the rifle very comfortable to shoot. In terms of modularity the SX23A1 features the latest version of Crookfur's advanced Rail Interface System (RIS). Known as Smart-RIS (SRIS), not only does it allow power to be supplied any compatible device from a large high capacity battery in the pistol grip but it allows attached “smart” devices such as as aiming systems and programmable grenade launchers to interface with one another without the need for additional wiring.
Finally standard equipment for the SX23A1 includes a bayonet mounting point, 4x Combat sight with iron sight backup, and a threaded barrel can be revealed by removing the muzzle brake allowing the use of suppressors and silencers.

Ammunition:
The SX23A1 uses the new advanced 6.6x48mm CFC caseless round. Standard loading is a 130grain boat tailed FMJ round that offers exceptional performance out to more than 780m (round is super sonic to about 1000m) Alternative loadings include a reduced recoil 113grain round or an extended range Penetration Performance Improved (PPI) 150grain round.

In all its loadings 6.6x48mm CFC outperforms 7.62x51mm ammunition in terms of penetration and effective range whilst still retaining more than acceptable recoil levels.

Price: $1150
Options:
Full fixed stock in place of folding stock : $100
M371 Digital sight: $1750
AM5A3 20mm Multi role tactical launcher: $650
AM3A5 40mm grenade launcher. $550

A manufacturing license fee would of course be negotiable, with a wide range of pay schemes rnagign from an upfront lump sum to an ongoing per unit royalty fee system.


On the MBT requirement, we do suggest that a 6" gun is not particularly practical on anything less than a vehicle massing more than 110tons, unless you want a short barrel/ low velocity combination gun/missile launcher as used on the Sherridan and MBT 70.

For your multi role vehicle requirement we would offer the Kudu Wheeled Vehicle family

CFAM LMRV39 Kudu APC
http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/images/KuduAPC.jpg

Weight: 21tons
Crew 2 (driver, gunner)
Transport: 10 troops
Engine: CFPW T358 Multi fuel turbine rated at 550horse power (410Kw)
Water drive: 2 water jet systems (steer able)
Max speed: 120kph on road, 60kph off road
0-75kph: 16.5 seconds
Range: 1000km
Weapons: either a manned turret or remotely operated mounting with room for 2 weapons, general load of 1 S11A3 25mm grenade launcher and 1 S9A3 9mm machine gun
Ammunition: 500 25x70mm ACM rounds and 900 9x90mm rounds
Suriviability: Layered titanium and rubber main layer with replaceable Chaotech outer panels and Armourfelt spall liner, provides STANAG lvl 5 (25mm)in the frontal arc and STANAG lvl 4 (14.5mm)to the sides and rear.
Electronics: fire control computer, tactical and command level voice/data links, direct integration with infantry com links, threat warning receiver, driver and gunner EO/IR vision systems
Estimated cost: $2.3million

Designed as a replacement to the venerable LMRV25 Stoat line of vehicles. Some what slower and larger than the original Stoat series of vehicles the Kudu provides a more capable vehicle with improved armour protection and a higher level of reliability. As with the Stoat the Kudu is designed to provide a base for a whole range of vehicles including a mobile guns system, infantry fighting vehicle, self propellent artillery system and a air defence system..
The basic armour scheme of the Kubu uses a combination of technologies to provide a lightweight yet effective defence. The first layer consists of quick replaceable Chaotech armour cells which using a combination of fibreglass, titanium, aramid fibres, spectra material and ceramic inserts provide an extremely strong yet light outer barrier than can easily stop .30cal AP bullets. Behind the Chaotech panels lies the main armour and structure of the vehicle, a barrier made up of a layer of rubber contained between 2 layers of titanium, this usage of titanium throughout the vehicle goes a long way to explaining the high cost of the vehicle and as such the titanium can be replaced with steel or aluminium for a cheaper vehicle that suffers predictable penalties in terms of performance or protection. The final layer of protection consists of a spall lining made up of a layer of armourfelt contained within 2 layers of aramid fibre.

In terms of weaponry the basic APC offers 2 options, either a 1 man turret with room for 2 weapons each in the 25kg range or 1 weapon in the 40kg range plus a lighter weapon up to a maximum weapon weight of 53kgs. This turret is armoured against 14.5mm AP round in the forward 70 degree arc and against .30calibre AP rounds over the remaining 290 degrees. Alternatively a remote weapons station can be fitted to fit weapons of up to 65kg although this mounting provides very little protection. Both weapons mounting include provision for self defence systems such as smoke launchers.

The transported troops have 6 firing ports compatible with most rifles and many light machine guns, 1 transport space is fitted with a tactical information station (TIS) and 2 have access to EO/IR vision turrets to provide increased situational awareness, these turrets can be slaved to eith the driver's tactical display or the TIS.

Optional upgrades include the addition of stand off slat armour/composite panels to provide additional protection against HEAT warheads from RPGs or ATGMs, the installation of an Active Protection System (APS) that can deploy munitions to destroy incoming projectiles and the installation of a Laser Counter Measures (LCM) device intended to confuse and destroy enemy laser illuminators and EO sensors.


CFAM LMRV39 Kudu IFV

Weight: 24tons
Crew: 3 (driver, gunner, commander)
Transport: 8 troops
Engine: CFPW T358 Multi fuel turbine rated at 550horse power (410Kw)
Water drive: 2 water jet systems (steer able)
Max speed: 110kph on road, 55kph off road
0-75kph: 16.5 seconds
Range: 1000km
Weapons: 1 single barrel 40mm CTA gun and 1 coaxial S9A3 9mm machine gun, plus mounting and wiring for 2-4 tube ATGM launcher, generally a 3 round launcher for M7 ATGMs is sued
Ammunition: 600 40mm rounds (1 basket of 200 and 1 of 400) and 900 9x90mm rounds
Suriviability: Layered titanium and rubber main layer with replaceable Chaotech outer panels and Armourfelt spall liner, provides STANAG lvl 5 (25mm)in the frontal arc and STANAG lvl 4 (14.5mm)to the sides and rear.
Electronics: fire control computer, tactical and command level voice/data links, direct integration with infantry com links, threat warning receiver, driver, commander and gunner EO/IR vision systems
Estimated cost: $2.7million

Based on the Kudu APC, the IFV version replaces 2 of the transport positions of the APC, including the TIS station, with an enlarged 2 man turret that mounts a 40mm Cased Telescoping Ammunition gun (CTA) capable of firing up to 350 rounds per minute of either APFSDS or Smart Fused ammo. The sabot ammo is capable of dealing with most light combatants the IFV will encounter whilst the SF rounds can be set to act as air bursting or penetrating HE munitions, the ATGM bracket can be configured for most common ATGMs although a 3 tube launcher for the Crookfur M7 IR guided ATGM generally supplied.


CFAM LMRV39 Kudu MGS/ARV
Weight: 27tons
Crew: 3 (driver, gunner, commander)
Transport: 2
Engine: CFPW T361 Multi fuel turbine rated at 590horse power (440Kw)
Water drive: 2 water jet systems (steer able)
Max speed: 120kph on road, 60kph off road
0-75kph: 16.2 seconds
Range: 1100km
Weapons: 1 G571 73mm/55cal Magnum ETC gun, 1 co axial S9A3 9mm MG plus 2 pintle mounted S9A2s
Ammunition: 50 78mm rounds and 1200 9x90mm rounds
Suriviability: Layered titanium and rubber main layer with replaceable Chaotech outer panels and Armourfelt spall liner, provides STANAG lvl 5 (25mm)in the frontal arc and STANAG lvl 4 (14.5mm)to the sides and rear. Turret has Lvl4 armour in front 90 degree arc and lvl 3 on the remaining 270 degrees
Electronics: fire control computer, tactical and command level voice/data links, direct integration with infantry com links, threat warning receiver, Active protection system, LCM system, driver, commander and gunner EO/IR vision systems
Estimated cost: $3.4million

The final entry into the initial Kudu variant line up and perhaps the most extreme is the Mobile Gun system/Armed Reconnaissance Vehicle variant. In this case the entire troop compartment is removed save for a small 2 man space at the rear of the vehicle, the roof of the main body has been lowered and a full turret has been fitted. The turret provides a mounting for the main gun, a 73mm/55calibre Magnum ETC gun that offer exceptional tank killing power for small vehicles. The G571 Magnum gun is a development off shoot of the 103mm G559 ETC gun developed for the Grey Viper and Koshi light tanks, it uses the same propellant charge but fires a smaller 73mm round at very velocity providing sparkly penetrating ability at short to medium ranges. Like the G559 the 73mm gun can use reduced charge loadings and can be elevated up to 45 degrees allowing for a small NLOS engagement capability.


We appreicaite that only the basic APC version and a possible cargo varient may be of interest to you but we present specifications on other varients to illustrate the versatility of the design.
Price wise the basic APC would be availble for $1.3million, with the IFV at $1.8million and the MGS at $2.5million.
If desired a customised varient can be tailored to meet your needs exactly

ICCD's IAR is a multi role Assault Rifle. Comes in "short" close combat, "engaged" field of combat, and extended distributed weight high percision sniping. Also has acceptable mounts for a variety of uses including ICCD's IAR 48 mm x 144 mm canisters. A new model in development perhaps with cooperation by Weapson will integrate attachable trenchgun/shotgun. Both the TE3 and the IAR mainbody have assignable bayonet capacity.

A bid can be tendered for the rifle and it's desired accessories and a response can be given as to the capacity to fill that particular order.

The order of 100,000 will take approximately 10 years to fill. or a delivery of 10,000 units per year or around 28 assualt rifles / day. In an emergency situation this could be increased to 50 assault rifles / day or approximately 5.5 years to complete. Factory expansions could be made to increase the production if required. The basic IAR will run starting at around 500 Dian Gold Cuneus. Accessories vary in price. Bulk order of the rifle and accessories can see interest based price reductions based upon the overall value of the purchase. Dian standard round is 12mm x 36mm taking slug teflon - steel/titanium/tungsten/uranium... or regular shelljacketing and fill. also taking sabot, and flechet mark rounds. in addition to some special ammo designs.


ICCD through a number of it's partnering manufacturers has a host of grenades. ICCD Military only uses one "standard operations equipment grenade shape" and that is the 48mm by 144 mm canister. comes in smoke, White phosphurus, frag, concusion, flash, foam, various chemical fill, acid, plastic, jelly etc.. canister outersize is the same, however often there will be a colouration marking, a symbol or wording on the canister to differentiate it. Cansters may also be programable or internal remote sensored.

ICCD doesn't USE a MBT, it uses a main command tank or MCT. They also use a medium combat tank *also MCT although MeCoTa, the reason for a medium tank was for air transport reasons, as well as "the reduced" role of tank forces in regards to defensive actions where emplacements and airpower seem more practicle. That is ICCD is generally just a rapid response force and not a "engaged surface combatant". The MCT is designed primarily to be an all purpose vehicle rather then simply "a mobile cannon"

ICCD offers IAPC it is designed in a number of roles, no specifically a fast transport craft. It is wheeled not treaded. (large hard wheels though) a new designed not yet released for foreign export is "bendable". Comes in communication, medical, cargo, or bulk troop modes and a number of non export configurations.

ICCD is also working on a railroad system and has a number of prototype models fielded.

ICCD weapons are made of a variety of "space age" materials and has an enhances multitier defence allocation including slat/blastcap/chobamX/ and point defence system for the MCT. The MeCoTa has slat/chobam/blastcap scaling and anti personal and one anti missle and chaff launcher on either side

ICCD has a number of mobile missle launchers in replacement of the shell launchers. Generally though ICCD's medium tanks are designed to engage medium and light vehicles and armoured positions.

More specifics are avaible. If you tell us how much your budget is we can tell you what we can fill.. more information is available on request.

There are a number of designs for each model, it is just a matter of how much you are willing to pay. IE are you going for economy, or quality?

ICCD can fill your requirement through it's industries in partnership.

We are willing to hammer out a deal that doesn't necisarily involve money, money is fine too though.

Here is the "old" MCT export model

Many thanks for choosing the SX23A1 assault rifle, we are delighted to hear of its selection to fufil your requirements.

As to license pricing we operate a felxible scale depending on the number of rifles you intend to produce on predicted production runs of up to 300,000units we charge a fee of 4% of the per rifle price, on predicted runs of between 300,000 and 1million units 3% per rifle and for runs of over 1million units we would offer an open license at a fixed fee of $50million, all prices are of course negotiable.

Thank you for choosing our tank. The G7S (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11495143#post11495143) will certainly fit your needs.

Since we do not know how many tanks you wish for or if you want to produce them we will set the production rights at 10 billion USD, instead of 13. The price can be negotiated if you do not plan or can't make so many. The cost for a single unit will be between 10 and 20 million USD, as stated before. Again, the prices are not set and are open to negotiation.

Many thanks. Signed
