Aequatian Military Industries MIM-132H "Apollo" Surface-Launched, Advanced Short-Range Surface-to-Air Missile (SL-ASRSAM)

http://www.eurofighter-typhoon.co.uk/common/AA/images/asraam-cutout.jpg

The Apollo SL-ASRSAM is derived from the Aequatian Republic Air Force successful Apollo ASRAAM missile used on all of its fighter aircraft. Known best for its quick air-to-air maneuverability and comparitively long-range, it was chosed by the Army and Marine Corps for a medium-range surface-to-air missile. Used in conjunction with the M130 Mobile Launch Unit, the weapon uses its internal quadrary redundant Infrared seeker head to acquire its target and an internal inertial guidance system to home the weapon on its target once it closes to an effective kill range. The weapon uses a different warhead than its Air Force counterpart, in place of the standard High-Explosive head, it uses a much more effective Blast-Fragmentation warhead with an effective kill zone of out to 30 metres at an angle of 60 degrees. The weapon has a speed of Mach 3.5 and an effective range of up to 20,000 metres.

The M130 MCLU is mounted on a trailer which can be pulled by a number of lightweight vehicles, including the M1250 Cougar-series HMMWVs, M1272 Rhino IMV, and M38 2.5-ton transport truck. The MCLU can also be mounted to the chassis of the UNISUV-2 series vehicles or the M541 Oxen Armoured Support Vehicle to create the Armoured Apollo.

Aequatian Military Industries MIM-120K "Starbuck" Surface-Launched, Advanced Extended-Range Surface-to-Air Missile (SL-AERSAM)

http://www.eurofighter-typhoon.co.uk/common/AA/images/amraam-cutout.jpg

Unit cost: 350,000 Aequatian Markes
Engine: High-performance, directed rocket motor
Weight: 152kg
Length: 3.66m
Diameter: 178mm
Wingspan: 526mm
Speed: Mach 4
Range: 20 - 60km
Warhead: 24kg High explosive blast-fragmentation
Guidance: INS, active radar

The Starbuck SL-AERSAM weapon, like the Apollo SL-ASRSAM, is derived from another Aequatian Republic Air Force weapon for use on a mobile launch unit in conjuction with the AN-TPS-60 Mobile Radar Suite. The weapon uses a fire-and-forget radar guidance system directed by the AN-TPS-60 suite, once a target has been chosen by the MRS fire control computers and transmitted to the missile crews at the launch unit, the weapon is fired and will track the target using an internal, triple redundant LIDAR and self-contained inertial guidance suites to ensure an effective kill is made against the target. The weapon has an effecitve range of up to 120 kilometres when connected to the Battlefield Multistatic Radar Network (BATMURNET), although it usual engagement range is between 20 - 60 kilometres with the use of the AN-TPS-60 MRS. The warhead used is a proximity High-Explosive, Blast-Fragmentation warhead, effective at up to 75 metres at an angle of 60 degrees.

The M165 MLU is mounted on a trailer and is reloaded with the assistance of an external powered loading arm, the trailer ca be pulled by either the M38 2.5-ton or M939A5 5-ton transport trucks or the UNISUV-2 series vehicles.

LAW-75 Light Anti-Tank Weapon

http://www.vokrugsveta.ru/img/upload/7610.jpg
LAW-75A with 75mm HEAT Warhead.

The LAW-75 is a lightweight, self-contained, anti-armor weapon. It consists of a free-flight, fin-stabilized, rocket-type cartridge packed in an expendable, one-piece, fiberglass-wrapped tube. The LAW-75 is man-portable and is fired from the right shoulder only. Since the LAW-75 is issued as a round of ammunition rather than as a weapon, the launcher is completely sealed.

The LAW-75 was designed for use against the improved armor of light armored vehicles. Although it is mainly used as an anti-armor weapon, it may be used with limited success against secondary targets such as gun emplacements, pillboxes, buildings, or light vehicles.

M7A2/SMAW-90 Shoulder-mounted, Multipurpose Assault Weapon

http://www.vokrugsveta.ru/img/upload/7608.jpg
M7A2/SMAW-90A armed with a 120mm Tandem-HEAT Warhead

The 90mm M7A2/SMAW-90 was designed as a vast improvement over the previous M7A1 launcher in that it now uses a muzzle-loaded canister containing the rocket/missile along with a number of improvements in the sighting system. The Launcher has had an extention made to the exhaust portion of the tube in order to direct the back blast of firing the weapon away from the infantryman. The Sight Unit for the M7A2 launcher incorporates an infrared (IR) thermal viewer with an effective detection range of upto 1,800m. It is also equipped with a Laser Designator/Rangefinder (LDRF) to be used for determining range to a target and with use of the guided munitions available to the weapon. The Sight Unit is manufactured as part of the launch tube and is equipped with the same pistol grip available on the M7A1 LAW for the weapon's electric trigger. The Power Unit is a Lithium Ion Battery which is connected to the Sight Unit and is carried by the soldier armed with the launcher. The M7A2 uses Sealed-Canister rounds containing the different munitions used, each marked for their respective type, and can be loaded onto the muzzle holder of the weapon and locked in place for firing. The muzzle-loaded feature was chosen since the weapon could now effectively be armedwith munitions containing warheads larger than the 90mm bore of the launcher tube.

The primary round, the SMAW-90A, uses a fire-and-forget pre-launch system that measures target speed and direction and is used in conjunction with known missile flight performance to predict where the target will be when the missile is in a position to intercept, The missile also uses an inertial guidance unit that sends the weapon over the predicted intercept point, compensating for crosswind and launcher motion (the launcher may be mounted on or fired from a vehicle). For direct attacks the missile acts as an unguided, flattened trajectory, line-of-sight weapon The warhead uses a 120mm warhead with a tandem Gold-Cobalt lined conical shaped-charge, which allows for a maximum penetration rating of up to 1,000mm of Rolled Homogenous Armour equivalent (approx. d/9 ratio). The weapon uses a soft-launch sequence to allow for firing from within interiors and has a minimum effective range of 25 metres and a maximum of 900m.

For anti-personnel capability, there is the SMAW-90B High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) round with a 120mm warhead which is equipped with a programmable proximity fuse which can be set by the Sight Unit's LDRF, the round's proximity fuse is effective within ranges of 100-900m while the HEAD round can be used as a traditional HE-FRAG round up to a range of 800m. For urban combat, there is the SMAW-90C Thermobaric round with a 120mm warhead available with an effective range of 800m.

There are currently tests underway with the laser-guided SMAAW (FIM-230 "Talon") High-Velocity Missile (HVM) with a 90mm warhead equipped with six small kinetic-energy darts, each containing their own 35mm High-Explosive (HE) warheads, which are guided by the same LDRF on the Sight Unit as is the HVM itself. It is meant for use against low-level air threats such as helicopters, although it could be used against light armoured vehicles given that it has an effective range of 1,200m and can penetrate up to 400mm of Rolled Homogenous Armour equivalent.

E-14 "Capricorn" Family Electronic Warfare and Support Aircraft

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/9139/e14avy4.png
http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/156/e14cig1.png

The Capricorn family of aircraft were born out of the General Operatonal Requirements set forth by the Aequatian Republic Air Force for the replacement of its older, Boeing 707-based aircraft including the E-3Q Sentry, E-8C JSTARS and RC-135W Rivet Joint aircraft with a common airframe for ease of maintenance.

E-14A Multi-sensor Command and Control Aircraft (MSC2A)

The E-14A is an airborne battle management and command and control (C2) platform that conducts ground surveillance to develop an understanding of the enemy situation and to support attack operations and targeting that contributes to the delay, disruption and destruction of enemy forces.

The E-14A is a modified AAI Model 200-series commercial airframe extensively re-manufactured and modified with the radar, communications, operations and control subsystems required to perform its operational mission. The most prominent external feature is the 12 m (40 ft) long, canoe-shaped radome under the forward fuselage that houses the 7.3 m (24 ft) long, side-looking AN/APY-21 phased array antenna.

The E-14A can respond quickly and effectively to support worldwide military contingency operations. It is a jam-resistant system capable of operating while experiencing heavy electronic countermeasures. The E-14A can fly a mission profile for 9 hours without refueling. Its range and on-station time can be substantially increased through in-flight refueling.

AN/APY-21

The AN/APY-21 radar uses the Doppler shift theory in order to pick up moving targets using its Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) modes. This is distinct from pulsed radars as it looks for the frequency shift of the returned signal, so the radar can be used continuously. It has the ability to 'look' from a long range, which the ARAF refers to as a high stand off capability. The antenna can be tilted to either side of the aircraft where it can develop a 120 degree field of view covering nearly 50,000km² and is capable of simultaneously tracking 1024 targets at more than 250km. Any objects of sufficient size (vehicle) and density that are moving will be seen by the radar. The GMTI modes cannot pick up stationary objects. The system does have Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) modes that can produce images of stationary objects. Objects with many angles (for example, the interior of a pick-up bed) will give a much better radar signature (called specular returns). In addition to being able to detect, locate and track large numbers of ground vehicles, the radar has a limited capability to detect helicopters, rotating antennas and low, slow moving fixed wing aircraft. Radar operating modes include wide area surveillance, ground moving target indicator (GMTI), fixed target indicator (FTI) target classification and synthetic aperture radar.

The radar and computer subsystems on the E-14A can gather and display broad and detailed battlefield information. Data is collected as events occur. This includes position and tracking information on enemy and friendly ground forces. The information is relayed in near-real time to the US Army's common ground stations via the secure jam-resistant surveillance and control data link (SCDL) and to other ground command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I) nodes beyond line-of-sight via ultra high frequency satellite communications.

Other major E-14A prime mission equipment are the communications/datalink (COMM/DLX) and operations and control (O&C) subsystems. Eighteen operator workstations display computer-processed data in graphic and tabular format on video screens. Operators and technicians perform battle management, surveillance, weapons, intelligence, communications and maintenance functions.

Role

In support of air-to-ground operations, the E-14A can provide real time information needed to increase ground situation awareness with intelligence support, attack support and targeting operations including attack aviation, naval surface fire, field artillery and friendly maneuver forces. It also provides information for air and land commanders to gain and maintain control of the battle-space and execute against enemy forces.

As a battle management and command and control asset, the E-14A can support the full spectrum of roles and missions from peacekeeping operations to major theater war. As capable as the E-14A's systems are, the information returned has very little detail. While it can pick up moving vehicles on the opposite side of the battlefield, it can provide little information about the vehicles. Approximate number of vehicles, location, speed, direction of travel, and the time that the target was detected is about all that can be determined. Identifying who the target is, what equipment they have, whether it is friendly, hostile, or bystanders, is not possible with this system. That is one of the reasons why it is a joint system, so that other sensors from the other services may reference each other to positively verify E-14A reports.

E-14B Electronic Surveillance Aircraft (ESA)

The E-14B is a reconnaissance aircraft used to support theater and national level consumers with near real-time on-scene intelligence collection, analysis and dissemination capabilities.

The aircraft is an extensively modified AAI Model 200 in which the modifications are primarily related to its on-board sensor suite, which allows the mission crew to detect, identify and geolocate signals throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. The mission crew can then forward gathered information in a variety of formats to a wide range of consumers via Capricorn's extensive communications suite.

The E-14B sensor suite allows the mission crew to detect, identify and geolocate signals throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. The mission crew can then forward gathered information in a variety of formats to a wide range of consumers via Capricorn's extensive communications suite. The interior seats 34 people, including the cockpit crew, electronic warfare officers, intelligence operators and airborne systems engineers. All Capricorn airframe and mission systems modifications are performed by Signal Dynamics in Aurunca, Aequatius Prime, under the oversight of the Aequatian Republic Air Force Materiel Command.

E-14C Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft (AEW&CA)

The E-14C is a military airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft that provides all-weather surveillance, command, control and communications to the Aequatian Republic Air Force.

The E-14C Capricorn is a modified AAI Model 200-series commercial airframe. Modifications included a rotating radar dome, single-point ground, and air refueling points. The dome is 9.1m in diameter, 1.8m thick at the center, and is held 4.2m above the fuselage by two struts. It contains a hydraulically rotated antenna system that permits the AN/APY-33 radar system to provide surveillance from the Earth's surface up into the stratosphere, over land or water. Generators on each of the two engines provide the 1 megawatt of power required by the radar. The Pulse Doppler radar has a range of more than 375km for low-flying targets at its operating altitude (essentially to the radar horizon), and the Pulse (BTH) beyond the horizon radar has a range of approximately 645km for aerospace vehicles flying at medium to high altitudes (essentially above the radar horizon). The radar combined with an SSR subsystem can look down to detect, identify and track enemy and friendly low-flying aircraft by eliminating ground clutter returns.

The AN/APY-33 suite can also be installed onto any similar airframe to accommodate any other nation's choice in their aircraft.

C-181A "Starlifter II" Strategic Airlifter

The C-181 Starlifter II Programme was initiated to replace the C-17A Globemaster III strategic and tactical airlifters already in service with the Aequatian Republic Air Force. The C-181 is the newest purpose-built cargo aircraft to enter the Aequatian Republic Air Force. It is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases or directly to forward bases in the deployment area. It is also capable of performing tactical airlift, medical evacuation and airdrop missions. In recent years the size and weight of Aequatian Republic Army mechanized firepower and equipment have grown, which has significantly increased air mobility requirements, particularly in the area of large or heavy outsize cargo. The C-181 can airlift such cargo close to a potential battle area.

The C-181 is powered by four fully reversible, AAI TF-760A Turbofan engines. Each engine is rated at 266.9kN (60,000lb) of thrust. The thrust reversers direct the flow of air upward and forward. This facilitates a decreased rate of ingestion of foreign object debris (FOD) as well as reverse thrust capable of backing the aircraft. Additionally, the C-181's thrust reversers can be used at idle-reverse in flight for added drag in maximum-rate descents.

The aircraft is operated by a minimum crew of three (pilot, copilot, and loadmaster). Cargo is loaded onto the C-181 through a large aft door that accommodates both rolling stock (vehicles, trailers, etc.) and palletized cargo. The cargo floor has rollers (used for palletized cargo) that can be flipped to provide a flat floor suitable for rolling stock. One of the larger pieces of rolling stock that this aircraft can carry is the M20 Mackall main battle tank.

Maximum payload capacity of the C-181 is 80,000kg, and its maximum gross takeoff weight is 210,000kg. With a payload of 72,600kg and an initial cruise altitude of 8,500m, the C-181 has an unrefueled range of approximately 4,400 nautical miles (8,150km). Its cruise speed is approximately 490 knots (900km/h) (0.76 Mach). The C-181 is designed to airdrop 120 paratroopers and equipment.

The C-181 is designed to operate from runways as short as 1,064m and as narrow as 27m. In addition, the C-181 can operate out of unpaved, unimproved runways (although there is the increased possibility of damage to the aircraft). The thrust reversers can be used to back the aircraft and reverse direction on narrow taxiways using a three-point (or in some cases, multi-point) turn maneuver.

B-12C "Vanquisher" Supersonic Strategic Bomber

http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/208/b12cru1.png

The original B-12A production model of the Vanquisher strategic bomber proved to be a very effective weapons platform and excellent design that upgrade programmes were not required to improve its effectiveness until evaluations were undertaken showing the design to be vulnerable to high-speed air defence missiles, thus, a development to reduce the aircraft's radar signature was initiated.

Numerous changes were made to the design to better fit it to real-world missions, resulting in the new B-12C. These changes included a reduction in maximum speed, which allowed the variable-aspect intake ramps to be replaced by simpler fixed geometry intake ramps in the newer design. This made the C version more radar-stealthy because the compressor faces of the engines, major radar reflectors, would be partially hidden. Low-altitude speed was somewhat improved, from about Mach 0.85 to 0.95. This left the B-12C with the capability for speeds of about Mach 1.55 "at altitude," a reduction from the B-12A's Mach 2.05 performance. In order to deal with interceptor aircraft with advanced look-down capability, the B-12C's electronic warfare suite was significantly upgraded.

The B-12C has a blended wing body configuration, along with variable-geometry wing design and turbofan engines, to improve range and speed with enhanced survivability. Forward wing settings are used for takeoff, landings and high-altitude maximum cruise. Aft wing settings are used in high subsonic and supersonic flight, enhancing the B-12's performance. The wings of the B-12C are cleared for use at settings of 15, 25, 45, 55, and 67.5 degrees. The length of the aircraft presented a serious flexing problem due to air turbulence at low altitude. To alleviate this, AAI included small canards near the nose on the B-1. A digital accelerometer would actuate the canards automatically to counteract turbulence and smooth out the ride.

Unlike the B-12A, the B-12C made no attempt at Mach 2+ speeds. Its maximum speed at altitude is Mach 1.55 (about 1,900km/h or 1,025 knots), but its low-level speed increased to Mach 0.95 (about 1,118km/h or 604 knots). Technically, the current version of the aircraft can exceed its speed restriction, but not without risking potential damage to its structure and air intakes.

The B-12C's offensive avionics include the AAI (Systems Division) AN/APQ-660 forward-looking offensive passive electronically scanned array radar set with electronic beam steering (and a fixed antenna pointed downward for reduced radar observability), synthetic aperture radar, ground moving target indicator (MTI), and terrain-following radar modes, Doppler navigation, radar altimeter, an inertial navigation suite and a Global Positioning System receiver.

The B-12C's defensive electronics include the AREWA (Aequatian Republic Electronic Warfare Agency) AN/ALQ-640 radar warning and defensive jamming equipment, linked to a total of eight AN/ALE-98 flare dispensers located on top behind the canopy, which are handled by the AN/ASQ-810 avionics management system. The AN/ALE-98 has a capacity of 36 MJU 23 A/B flares each. The MJU 23 A/B flare is one of the world's largest infrared countermeasure flares having a gross weight of 1,170g. The cylindrical pellet from Magnesium/Teflon/Viton has a net weight of 1,470g. The B-12C has also been equipped to carry the ALE-540 Towed Decoy System. The Vanquisher has an additional Doppler tail-warning radar to detect aircraft or missiles approaching from the rear. Also aiding the B-12C's survivability is its relatively low radar cross-section (RCS). Although not technically a stealth aircraft in a comprehensive sense, thanks to the aircraft's structure, serpentine intake paths and use of radar-absorbent material its RCS is about 1/10th that of the B-12A, although the Vanquisher has an increased mass compared to the older aircraft.

Space-based High Energy Laser "Eagle I" Strategic Defence Satellite

http://www.spacetoday.org/images/Rockets/FutureSpaceVehicles/SpaceBasedLaserReboost.jpg

The Aequatian Republic, although never directly threatened by nuclear holocaust at the hands of rival nations, decided after establishing itself as a nuclear power to develop systems which would allow for it to defend against the same attacks from hostile nations. The first step in this Strategic Defence Initiative was the "Eagle I" space-based laser system which would not only engage enemy warheads, but also enemy satellites and orbital weapon systems.

Eagle I uses a one MegaWatt deuterium fluoride laser operating at the wavelength of 3.7µm. The deuterium fluoride laser constructionally resembles a rocket engine. In the combustion chamber, ethylene is burned in nitrogen trifluoride. This reaction produces free excited fluorine radicals. Just after the nozzle, the mixture of helium and deuterium gas is injected to the exhaust stream; the deuterium reacts with the fluorine radicals, producing excited molecules of deuterium fluoride. The excited molecules then undergo stimulated emission in the optical resonator region of the laser, then emitting the beam against the target instantaneously, superheating the target until it is either destroyed or rendered useless.

The fuelpods for the chemicals required, when fully fueled, can provide the weapon system with approximately twenty firings before requiring a recharge of its tanks. The weapon is used in cooperation with the AN/DSQ-440 Peregrine V Space-tracking RADAR and LIDAR suites.

Space-based Neutral Particle Beam Weapon "Eagle II" Strategic Defence Satellite

http://www.spacetoday.org/images/Rockets/FutureSpaceVehicles/Antimatter.jpg

The concept behind the Eagle II particle-beam weaponry is to hit a target with a stream of accelerated particles moving at near the speed of light and therefore carrying tremendous kinetic energy; the particles transfer their kinetic energy to the atoms in the molecules of the target upon striking, much as a cue ball transfers its energy to the racked balls in billiards, thus exciting the target's atoms and superheating the target object in a short time, leading to explosion either of the surface layer or the interior of the target.

The weapon's high energy beams are created in particle accelerators, in which a charged particle is drawn forward by an electrostatic (not magnetic) field with a charge opposite to the particle (like charges repel one another, opposites attract); as the particle passes the source of each field, the charge of the field is reversed so that the particle is now pushed on to another field source. Through a series of fields in sequence, the particle accelerates until it is moving at a high speed. A natural analogy to particle beams is lightning, where electrons flow from negatively charged clouds to positively charged clouds or the earth.

The power levels to produce the energy required for an effective weapon are produced using an on-board Accelerator-Driven System (ADS), it is a subcritical fission reactor which produce neutrons by spallation for use in the weapon. The ADS's design proposes a high-intensity proton accelerator with an energy of about 1 GeV, directed towards a spallation target made of liquid lead-bismuth (which would also act as a coolant) in the core of the reactor. In that way, for each proton interacting in the target, an average 20 neutrons are created to irradiate the surrounding fuel. Thus, the neutron balance can be regulated such as the reactor would be below criticality if the additional neutrons by the accelerator were not provided. The main advantage is inherent safety, even if the nuclear fuel under consideration lack Uranium's nice self-regulating properties—like delayed neutrons and doppler coefficient—that make standard nuclear reactors safe. Whenever the neutron source is turned off, the reaction ceases.

The weapon's fuel, when full, can provide the weapon system with approximately fifty firings before requiring a recharge of its tanks. The weapon is used in cooperation with the AN/DSQ-440 Peregrine V Space-tracking RADAR and LIDAR suites.

M4A5 "Spartan" Mechanized Combat Vehicle

Image Gallery

http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8908/m4a5camosn7.png
M4A5 Spartan MCV

Armament Systems

The primary armament of the M4A5 Spartan mechanized combat vehicle is the turret-mounted, computer-controlled gyrostabilized 40mm M132A1 Automatic Cannon. The development of the 40mm M132A1 Automatic Cannon began as a replacement for the 35mm M125 Automatic Cannon which has been in service as the standard small caliber cannon since it replaced the original 25mm M242 Bushmaster cannon. The design requirements are different however for the M132A1 cannon compared to the older M125 since the latter was originally designed as an area suppression weapon for use against enemy infantry units and a later developed to use anti-armour rounds, the former will be designed from the outset as an accurate, anti-armour weapon with area suppression capability.

The M132A1 cannon is a recoil-operated, self-loading weapon with an electromagnetic assist which is capable of firing repetitive shots and short bursts of up to eight rounds (two clips of four rounds each), and has a cyclic rate of fire of 80 rounds per minute. Ammunition is fed in four-round clips with the empty shell cases being ejected forwards out of the weapon to avoid turret clutter. The weapon operates on a long-recoil system (much like the 30mm L21A1 RARDEN cannon) in which both the barrel and breech initially close together. To allow for spent ammunition casings to be ejected, the barrel recoil ceases while the breech continues to extract the spent cartridge case, which is then ejected forward out of the turret. The barrel then moves forward again, following after an interval by the breech which loads another round.

The cannon uses a smoothbore barrel, for the use of its primary armour-peircing discarding sabot tracer (APDS-T) ammunition, which also benefits from electromagnetic (EM) rails along its length to maintain a high velocity for the rounds being fired so as to produce the optimal striking velocity of 1,900m/s. The system is fully enclosed and the internal section of the weapon only protrudes a mere 50cm into the turret space. The gun is charged by a small, powered cocking/loading handle and no fumes can penetrate the turret. The cannon has a double feeder, allowing for two types of ammunition to be ready for firing which are preloaded with a clip of both M950 High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) and M951 Armour-Piecring Discarding Sabot Tracer (APDS-T). The vehicle carries a total of 120 HEAB and 80 APDS-T rounds.

The primary ammunition type of the M132 cannon is the M951 armour-piercing discarding sabot tracer (APDS-T) round using a depleted Uranium kinetic-energy penetrator with a 13.5mm diameter and 108mm length. With the use of the electromagnetic rails along the barrel of the cannon, the round can achieve up to 1,850m/s upon striking a target, allowing for almost 400mm of penetration against Rolled Homogenous Armour equivalent.

Secondary ammunition for the weapon include the M950 high-explosive airburst (HEAB) which contains a proximity fuse which is set to the distance determined by the vehicle’s laser rangefinder. Although it can be used in its primary fashion, it may also be used as a standard HE-FRAG round, especially in urban terrain, where its proximity fuse can be set to delay detonation after the round has penetrated an obstacle such as a wall or building.

The vehicle has also been provided with a pair of M5 Launchers for the effective BGM-225 Goblin-series optically-guided anti-tank missiles. The launchers each hold a preloaded round while another eight are carried inside the vehicle for reloading through a door atop the passenger compartment. The missiles carried can consist of both the A and B variants, ammunition load outs for the weapons are chosen by the unit commander in the theatre of operations. Mounted coaxially to the M132A1 cannon is an 8.5mm MG68E1 light machinegun which is also stabilized, allowing for firing on the move, and carries a total of 1,000 rounds of ammunition with a 1:6 ratio of tracer/ball ammunition.

Fire Control Systems

The gunner is provided with improved sights with the use of the Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sight, Mark VII (THOGS VII) which is integrated with the WillTell, Mark V Fire Control System and a Discrimination Carbon Dioxide Laser Rangefinder. The THOGS VII uses a stabilized 12x Power Day Sight with optional thermal viewer suite and with positive target identification up to ranges of 10,000m. The commander also has a view through this main sight on a separate display at his/her station. There is also a backup 8x Power Day sight which can be used by the gunner should the primary sight become damaged.

The commander, in addition to his/her main sight viewer, has a monitor connected to the Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer with an attached Carbon Dioxide Laser Rangefinder for the commander to designate targets for the gunner and can enter them into the WillTell, Mark V Fire Control System's memory so that the gunner can quickly engage them with the main gun by selecting them from a list of targets provided on the gunner's monitor.

The WillTell, Mark V All-Digital Fire Control System is an improved version of the long legacy of computerized systems used in Aequatian tanks. It uses twin 128-bit Processors with an Aequatian Electronics Industries AEQ-MIL-9028D Databus and is fully integrated with other systems, including the Advanced Battlefield Information Control System (ABICS), Air Density Meter (ADM), Wind Direction and Speed Monitoring System (WDSMS), Main Gun Wear and Distortion Meter (MGWDM) and Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sight, Mark VII (THOGS VII) with Carbon Dioxide Laser Rangefinder.

Armour Protection

The M4A5 Spartan is provided with an armour suite similar to that of the M20 Mackall series main battle tanks, although much lighter than the heavy composite armour, but no less robust. The outermost layer of armour consists of an Iron-Cobalt-Nickel alloy reinforced with Carbon, Chromium and Molybdenum to provide protection against small arms, shell fragments and splinters (this layer also helps to protect the underlying composites from unnecessary damage). A second layer consists of a Boron Nitride Composite Mesh which is designed to greatly disrupt both kinetic-energy and explosively-formed penetrators due to its low solid density and highly-efficient ballistic heat conduction, respectively. It also possesses an extremely high tensile strength, which is up to sixty times stronger than Rolled Homogeneous Steel Armour. This layer is designed to provide the sloped armour of the tank protection from damage when struck by kinetic-energy penetrator (KEP) munitions and to ensure that the underlying composite layers are not compromised.

The most protection, however, is provided by the layering of Boron Carbide ceramic composite which is encased within the same Iron-Cobalt-Nickel alloy reinforced with Carbon, Chromium and Molybdenum to provide structure. The alloy/ceramic composite provides a great amount of protection against shaped-charge anti-tank weapons such as infantry rockets like the M136 AT-4 and RPG-7. Along the inside is a Boron/High-Strength Polyethylene Synthetic Fibre Layer which protects interior personnel and vehicle systems from radiation and electromagnetic (EM) threats with a shielding rating up to 16 kRads of particle and electromagnetic radiation. It also provides an Anti-Spall Protective Layer for interior crew and systems protection should a round be successful in penetrating the outer armoured layers.

M190 "Mjolnir" 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/2083/m190camomd8.png

The Mjolnir self-propelled howitzer was being developed for the Aequatian Republic Army as a replacement for the Sabre. The Mjolnir artillery system was intended to provide enhanced survivability, lethality and mobility and be more easily deployable and sustainable than current systems. A battery of six M190 guns can deliver 15,000 kilograms of ammunition in less than five minutes.

AMI reduced the weight and size of the Mjolnir vehicle from 54,400 kilograms to 36,400 kilograms allowing two vehicles rather than one to be transported on a C-181 aircraft. This allowed the howitzer to be more easily available for fire support missions.

The Mjolnir consists of two vehicles, the M190 155mm self-propelled howitzer and the M191 armoured re-supply vehicle. The high level of automation means that the howitzer and re-supply vehicle each require only three men to operate it. The gunners can control the entire loading and firing process from the safety of the computerized cockpit under armour and nuclear biological and chemical warfare protection.

M190 SELF-PROPELLED HOWITZER

Mjolnir's 155mm self-propelled howitzer, M330, has fully automated ammunition handling and firing that allows firing of the 48 on-board rounds at rates of up to 10 rounds per minute to ranges in excess of 40 kilometres. The first rounds of a mission can be fired in 15 to 30 seconds. Additionally Mjolnir has the capability to fire multiple rounds to achieve simultaneous impact on target (MRSI). One Mjolnir vehicle can fire up to 8 rounds to strike a single target at the same time. The digital fire control system calculates separate firing solutions for each of the 8 projectiles.

M191 RESUPPLY VEHICLE

Mjolnir is re-supplied by the M191 ammunition re-supply vehicle, which is equipped with a fully automated ammunition handling subsystem. This allows its three-man re-supply crew to automatically transfer, under armour, up to 48 rounds of ammunition and fuel to the howitzer in less than 12 minutes. Resupply can be carried out in a contaminated environment. The resupply vehicle itself can be fully loaded with fuel and 110 rounds of ammunition in less than 60 minutes.

COMMAND AND CONTROL

Mjolnir's command centre is equipped with onboard tactical systems including decision aids, and advanced position and navigational aids and an automated IFF system. The Mjolnir sends and receives real-time battlefield information through the Field Artillery Tactical Data System (TACDATS) and it can communicate directly with other combat vehicles. The secure data transmission network digitally links the Howitzer, Resupply Vehicle and the rest of the battlefield to give every vehicle real time situational awareness.

ARMAMENT

Mjolnir can deliver any type of round including High-Capacity High-Explosive, White Phosphorus and Smoke, Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM), illumination and SADARM rounds. The Mjolnir solid propellant armament system consists of the cannon, gun mount, and a laser ignition system. The Mjolnir cannon tube is Integral Mid-wall Cooled (IMC) which enables extremely high rates of fire. The cannon chamber and tube are chrome-plated to minimize wear and erosion. The chamber is compatible with the Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) solid propellant propulsion system.

PROPULSION

The Crusader's engine and hydro-pneumatic suspension give a road speed of up to 67km/h and a cross-country speed of 48km/h. The transmission allows automatic scheduling of engine speed and transmission ratio for fuel economy. The driving system features drive-by-wire, positional navigation and movement planning decision aids.

The Aequatian Republic Army selected the Aequatian Automotive Industries (Propulsion Division) AEQ-V20-UF V-12 turbo-charged universal fuel engine, in common with the M20A2 main battle tank, as part of the Mackall/Mjolnir Common Engine Program. The new engine would be lighter and smaller with rapid acceleration, quieter running and no visible exhaust.

V-22 Osprey Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing Aircraft

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1219/untitled59na7.png

The V-22 Osprey is a joint service, multimission, military tiltrotor aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing capability (STOL). It is designed to perform missions like a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.

The Osprey is the world's first production tiltrotor aircraft, with one three-bladed proprotor, turboprop engine, and transmission nacelle mounted on each wingtip. It typically operates as a helicopter with the nacelles vertical (rotors horizontal) for takeoff and landing. Once airborne, the nacelles rotate forward 90° in as little as 12 seconds for horizontal flight, converting the V-22 to a more fuel-efficient, higher-speed turboprop airplane. STOL rolling-takeoff and landing capability is achieved by having the nacelles tilted forward up to 45°. For compact storage and transport, the V-22's wing rotates to align, front-to-back, with the fuselage. The proprotors can also fold in a sequence taking 90 seconds.

The V-22 is equipped with a glass cockpit, which incorporates four Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) and one shared Central Display Unit (CDU), allowing the pilots to display a variety of images including: digimaps centered or decentered on current position, FLIR imagery, primary flight instruments, navigation (TACAN, VOR, ILS, GPS, INS), and system status. The flight director panel of the Cockpit Management System (CMS) allows for fully-coupled (aka: autopilot) functions which will take the aircraft from forward flight into a 50-foot hover with no pilot interaction other than programming the system.[2]

The V-22 uses an on-board oxygen generating system (OBOGS) which draws compressed outside air from the turbine engines and separates out the oxygen and nitrogen. The nitrogen is used by the fuel tanks to fill the ullage with inert gas as the JP-5 is consumed.[3]

The V-22 is a fly-by-wire aircraft with triple redundant flight control systems. With the nacelles pointing straight up in conversion mode at 90°, the flight computers command the aircraft to fly like a helicopter, with cyclic forces being applied to a conventional swashplate at the rotor hub. With the nacelles in airplane mode (0°) the flaperons, rudder, and elevator fly the aircraft like an airplane. This is a gradual transition which occurs over the entire 96° range of the nacelles. The lower the nacelles, the greater effect of the airplane-mode control surfaces.

It is used by all of the Aequatian Republic Military Forces branches for different purposes:

MV-22A - Aequatian Republic Marine Corps Multimission Aircraft, the MV-22A is an assault transport for troops, equipment and supplies, capable of operating from ships or from expeditionary airfields ashore. Also used by Aequatian Republic Air Force for long-range insertion of pararescue jumpers (PJs) and Special Operations Forces.
SV-22B - Aequatian Republic Navy Anti-Submarine Warfare and Carrierborne Maritime Patrol aircraft. Replaced S-3B Viking ASW and SH-20B Seacat patrol aircraft in Carrier Air Wings, supplemented by SH-96F Seajag.
HV-22C - Aequatian Republic Air Force Combat Serach and Rescue aircraft, replaced the HH-20D Pavecat in service.
CV-22D - Aequatian Republic Army heavylift transport aircraft used in air assault units to transport cargo such as jeeps, light trucks, towed artillery pieces and other cargo. Used for preliminary infantry assaults as well.

AGM-316 "Lucifer" Helicopter-Launched, Fire-and-Forget, Anti-Tank Missile

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3120/agm316mr4.png

The requirement for the long range AGM-316 Lucifer missile was identified as a replacement for the venerable AGM-114Q Hellfire II air-to-surface anti-tank missile in service with the Aequatian Republic Army and Marine Corps since 1992.

Lucifer is an autonomous, fire-and-forget missile. The long range Lucifer is helicopter launched. The system uses passive infrared CCD (charged-coupled device) sensors in the helicopter's sight and in the missile.

The Apollo sight for a helicopter was designed for both the BGM-225B Goblin and AGM-316A Lucifer missiles. The Apollo electro-optical acquisition system provides passive detection, recognition and identification of the target. The mounted sight is equipped with an IR CCD thermal imager and a CCD television camera on a gyrostabilised platform.

Positive target identification (man-in-the-loop) is used. The gunner selects the target on a display screen and the target is locked-on before launch using highly automated fire control. The system’s infrared electro-optic sight provides day and night capability and all weather operation.

The Lucifer uses thrust vector control for high agility in flight and precision targeting. The operating range is given as 500m to 5,000m, but the range is extendible to 7,000m. Salvo firing provides a firing rate of up to four missiles in eight seconds.

Lucifer can be applied in direct attack or terminal dive modes. The system is equipped with a tandem shaped charge warhead for high lethality against modern reactive armour. A proximity charge detonates at an optimum distance from the target.

M26 "Bobcat" Combat Vehicle, Light, Reconnaissance

http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/6817/m70cvltr2dx3.png

OVERVIEW

The Bobcat Reconnaissance Vehicle, produced by Republic Motor Works (RMW) of Arrio, Aequatio and Optronics Inc. of Vanaheim, Aequatio, has been developed for the Aequatian Republic Army with Aequatian Military Industries Ltd as the prime contractor.

The Bobcat is a light armoured, tracked reconnaissance vehicle, operated by a three-man crew and deployed in units of two vehicles. A scout party equipped with this vehicle is able to operate independently for a period of up to five days.

COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM

The Tactical Command and Control System (TCCS) enables the reconnaissance vehicles to be integrated into the reconnaissance data information, command and control system. This is accomplished by means of digitized maps showing the position of the host vehicle, the target and the current battlefield environment.

This data is updated through HF and VHF radio data transmissions between the vehicle and the command post. The Signal Dynamics DNL-90 links the observation sensors to the vehicle and to other platforms enabling faster and more reliable transmission.

ARMAMENT

The Bobcat uses the same M132A1 40mm Automatic Cannon and coaxial MG68E1 8.5mm machinegun as mounted on the M4A5 Spartan Mechanized Combat Vehicle (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12832146&postcount=45). The turret commander's cupola can also mount a number of machineguns or automatic grenade launchers. Aequatian Republic Army vehicles mount the new MG29 40mm Automatic Grenade Launcher.

OBSERVATION

The reconnaissance vehicle's observation system is the Optronics Inc. AN/MSQ-101 Artemis Eye ISTAR Suite which comprises a thermal imager, a CCD day vision camera and a laser rangefinder/designator and is installed in a sensor head mounted on an extendable mast.

The sensor head can be controlled in azimuth and elevation and raised to a height of 9m above ground. For observation from a concealed position, the sensor head can be tripod-mounted at an exposed location for remote operation up to 50m from the vehicle.

The sensor head is operated by means of the control unit in the vehicle or via the removed control unit from the concealed position. A hybrid navigation system consisting of an inertial unit and global positioning system (GPS) permits accurate determination of the vehicle position and the north direction. Determination of target coordinates is achieved using the system's laser rangefinder and azimuth and elevation measuring equipment, together with the navigation system.

The forward position of the driver's seat gives the driver a field of view greater than 180° through the windscreen and side windows. The rearview camera mounted at the back of the vehicle and a monitor integrated in the driver's instrument panel allow rapid evasive manoeuvres to be carried out. The driver can use the cable winch to recover his own or another vehicle.

SELF-PROTECTION

The vehicle has all-round protection against 20mm armour-piercing or 25mm high-explosive rounds. Add-on armour protection can be selected to suit mission requirements to provide increased protection. The crew compartment is protected against anti-personnel mines.

Nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) warfare protection is integrated in the crew compartment air-conditioning system. The infrared signature is minimized through special exhaust ducting. The powerpack compartment is fitted with a fire extinguishing and warning system, which can be automatically or manually triggered.

We are currently scouting for a new main assault weapon for our armed forces. From browsing your catalog, we have discovered three weapons which meet our baseline needs: The G101, G102, and G28A2 assault rifles. We would like your professional opinion of which of these weapons would be most appropriate for our armed forces. We expect that future combat operations may take place in both built up city areas and more open or wooded areas. Thus, we need a weapon that is suitable for close-quarters combat while still retaining long-distance accuracy. Based on this criteria, we ask you to give your recommendation.

She streamlined the designs of many rifles for ease of use while retaining a high degree of modularity in the weapons, to allow for optimal customization.

The LMG-45 features an improved rail handguard and uses a short, fixed buttstock, which is significantly lighter than the MG66A2's fixed unit. The LMG-45 variant differs notably from the MG66A2 in that it is only belt-fed, while the latter work with belts or M65-type magazines. The LMG-45 is lighter due to this change. While extremely similar, the LMG-45 and the MG66A2 are not the same weapon.

Lightweight Assault/Anti-Tank Weapon, 90mm (LAW-90)

http://img468.imageshack.us/img468/391/law902zw1.png

The LAW-90 is a multipurpose, light infantry support weapon designed to offer a number of munitions on the battlefield for defeating a number of targets, ranging from infantry, bunkers, light vehicles to main battle tanks and low-flying helicopters. The LAW-90 is intended to replace the SMAW-90 weapon and its ammunition due to the restructive high operation and maintenance costs for the SMAW-90's many guided munitions. It has three firing modes, light, heavy and anti-air.

In its light role, it fires breech-loaded, 90mm rockets including the M728 HEAT for light vehicles, the M729 HESH for buildings or light fortifications and the M730 HEAB for anti-personnel. The rockets are loaded by the assistant gunner by fitting the munition in place on the inner rails, connecting the weapon's electrical firing system and readying the rocket for firing. Both the M728 and M729 are unguided rockets and use a duel-nozzle, solid-fuel rocket motor for propulsion, they are guided using four tail fins. The M730 High-Explosive Air Burst rocket uses the LAW-90's laser rangefinder and designator to pintpoint enemy targets hidden behind walls or within windows and sets an inertial guidance system to detonate once the munition reaches the target zone, allowing for maximum damage inflicted.

In its heavy role, it fires muzzle-loaded 120mm rockets including the M732 HEAT for heavy vehicles and main battle tanks and the M800 FAE for urban operations. The weapons are loaded into the launch tube by the gunner and locked in place on the inner rails, connecting the launcher's electrical firing system and readying the rocket for firing. The M800 Thermobaric weapon is unguided while the M732 HEAT uses a laser-beam riding, semi-automatic command line-of-sight guidance system with the CLU's laser designator and rangefinder, allowing for ease in engaging moving targets. The M732 round uses a tandem conical shaped-charge (the primary breaching charge is 90mm while the penetration charge is 120mm in diametre) lined with a Gold-Cobalt alloy, which allows for a maximum penetration rating of up to 1,000mm of Rolled Homogenous Armour equivalent (approx. d/9 ratio). The weapon has a minimum effective range of 30 metres and a maximum of 900m.

In its anti-air role, the LAW-90 CLU is used in conjunction with the FIM-360E Talon High-Velocity Missile and the weapon's laser designator and rangefinder. The missile is equipped with six small kinetic-energy darts, each containing their own 35mm High-Explosive (HE) warheads, which are guided by the same LDRF on the Command Launch Unit as is the HVM itself. It is meant for use against low-level air threats such as helicopters, although it could be used against light armoured vehicles given that it has an effective range of just over 2,000m and can penetrate up to 400mm of Rolled Homogenous Armour equivalent.

The Command Launch Unit has a fibreglass composite body for the launch tube, lined with a Boron-Cobalt alloy along the inside to allow for a lifetime of up to 1,000 launches before there is nominal effect on the weapon's performance. It is equipped with a day/night thermal and light intensification 3.0x-5.0x power telescope with the attached laser designator and rangefinder.

FGM-330A "Halberd" Advanced, Fire-and-Forget Anti-Tank Guided-Missile

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3089/javelin1eg4.gif

The Halberd is a manportable, fire-and-forget, antitank missile employed by dismounted infantry to defeat current and future threat armored combat vehicles. Javelin is intended to replace the SMAW-90 system in the Army and the Marine Corps.

The Halberd has secondary capabilities against helicopters and ground-fighting positions. It is equipped with an Imaging Infrared/Ultraviolet (IIR/UV) system and a fire-and-forget guided missile. The Javelin's normal engagement mode is top-attack to penetrate the tank's most vulnerable armor. It also has a direct-attack capability to engage targets with overhead cover or in bunkers. Its "soft launch" allows employment from within buildings and enclosed fighting positions. The soft launch signature limits the gunner's exposure to the enemy, thus increasing survivability. Halberd has a top attack dual warhead capability which can defeat all known enemy armor systems.

The Halberd is a tactical precision engagement system that enhances the Army's ability to dominate the ground maneuver battle. The Halberd's impact on scout capabilities will be significant. It will allow dismounted scouts to execute reconnaissance and combat patrols with a relatively lightweight thermal sight. It will also give dismounted patrols the capability of dealing with unexpected armored vehicle threats. (Scouts, however, will not use the Javelin to seek out and destroy enemy armor in offensive operations.)

The Halberd consists of a missile in a disposable launch tube and a reusable Command Launch Unit (CLU) with a trigger mechanism and the integrated day/night sighting device for surveillance, and target acquisition and built-in test capabilities and associated electronics. The CLU, powered by a disposable battery, provides the capability for battlefield surveillance, target acquisition, missile launch, and damage assessment.

The Halberd's CLU provides battlefield surveillance and target acquisition capabilities. The Optronics Inc. "Solarus" Night Vision System is a passive Imaging Infrared/Ultraviolet system. The NVS enables observation of targets that are not normally visible to the human eye. It receives and measures infrared or ultraviolet light emitted by the environment. The NVS converts the IR/UV light into an image for the gunner.

The IR/UV image also allows the gunner to identify enemy armor targets, his first priority to engage and destroy. Halberd gunners must identify battlefield combatants at night based on the images seen in the NVS. The gunners must distinguish friends from foes to preclude fratricide. The Optronics Laboratory has developed materials to train Halberd gunners to identify friends and targets based on their IR/UV images.

The round consists of a disposable launch tube assembly, battery coolant unit (BCU), and the missile. Missile range is 2,000 meters. The missile locks on to the target before launch using an infrared focal plane array and on-board processing, which also maintains target track and guides the missile to the target after launch. A full-up system weighs 22.4 kilograms.

Short-Range Assault Weapon, 90mm (SRAW-90)

http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/660/sraw90lp8.png

Designed as a replacement for the venerable LAW-75, the SRAW-90 is a vast improvement for regular infantrymen to carry into battle as part of issued kits. Using a 90mm HEAT round, the weapon offers a soldier up to 810mm of penetration against enemy armour.

The SRAW-90 operates on the principle of a "recoilless weapon," meaning that the forward inertia of the projectile is balanced by the mass of propellant gases ejecting out the rear of the barrel. Since the weapon generates almost no recoil, a relatively large projectile can be fired which would otherwise be impossible in a man-portable weapon. Additionally, since the barrel does not have to contend with the extreme pressures found in traditional guns, it can be designed to be very lightweight. The usual disadvantage of this design is that it creates a large "back-blast" area behind the weapon which can cause severe burns and pressure injuries—both to friendly personnel in the vicinity of the user and, in some cases, to the user himself.

The problem of back-blast has been eliminated with the Confined Spaces Protective System (CONSPROS). The new weapon deploys salt-water from the rear when it is fired. This spray captures and dramatically slows down the pressure-wave. The improved weapon allows troops to fire at armoured personnel carriers or tanks without exposing their bodies to enemy fire.

To fire, the user must first ensure that no friendly troops or equipment are present in the back blast area. If firing from the prone position, he must also place his legs well to the side to avoid burning himself. He then disengages two safeties, cocks a mechanical firing pin and presses a trigger button. Aiming is accomplished via an optical night-sight on a removable mount. The SRAW-90 requires little training and is quite simple to utilize, making it suitable for general issue. Because the expensive unit cost is prohibitive to regular live-fire training, practice versions exist which are identical in operation but fire reloadable 40mm tracers. The 40mm version is also a recoilless weapon and is favored by the Aequatian Republic Army and Marine Corps because of the added realism of the back-blast.

MGM-331A/B "Sabre" Tactical Ballistic Missile (TACBAM)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/MGM-331plus.gif

Overview

The MGM-331 Sabre TACBAM resulted from a need to engage high priority targets at ranges beyond those of existing weapons. The Block I (MGM-331A) is a ground launched, deep fires missile system consisting of a surface-to-surface guided missile with an anti-personnel/anti-materiel (APAM) warhead consisting of approximately three hundred M1025 1.5 kilogram Combined Effects Munitions (Anti-personnel/anti-materiel shaped-charge, fragmentation and incendiary), these can also be substituted for 250 Chemical Weapon bomblets containing the GX Nerve or CQ Blood Agents.

The Block II (MGM-331B) missile is similar in design as the Block I weapons, although they are meant for precision strike purposes and use a Single 450kg High-Capacity, High-Explosive warhead. The weapon is launched from a modified M197 Scorpio MLRS chassis which carries two missiles per launcher load. The missile will engage targets throughout the corps area of influence and is designed to destroy tactical missile launchers, suppress air defense, counter Command, Control, and Communications (C3) complexes and disrupt logistics.

Missile Components

Guidance and Control Section (GCS). The GCS provides all navigation, guidance, autopilot, and internal communications functions for the MGM-331 missile while in flight and for all ground operations. Continuous determination of position, attitude, and motion are provided by the inertial sensors, associated electronics, and software processing. Guidance and autopilot functions are provided by software processing within the GCS computer. All communications, both internal and external to the missile (missile to launcher and/or ground support equipment), are provided by the GCS electronics and software. This includes communications with the M197 FCS electronics for launch control, the ground support equipment for maintenance, and the control system electronics unit (CSEU) for missile fin actuator control.

Propulsion Section. The solid rocket motor furnishes the energy necessary to launch the missile and sustain missile flight for a sufficient time to meet MGM-331 altitude and range requirements. The solid rocket motor consists of a motor case, propellant, insulation/liner, nozzle, and igniter arm/fire assembly.

Control Section. The primary functions of the control section assembly are to position the missile fins, provide the missile electrical power while in flight, and support selected pyrotechnic functions.

Warhead Assembly. The primary function of the warhead assembly is to carry, protect, and dispense the missile payload. The warhead assembly consists of a rolled aluminum shell with aluminum support structures and front and rear bulkheads. A center tube connects the bulkheads and provides a central wire route. In addition to the payload, the warhead assembly contains a skin severance system which controls the release of the payload at the required time.

The MGM-331A Block I Missile Warhead is used against personnel and soft targets normally with a Target Landing Event (TLE) of 150 m or less. Larger TLEs may reduce effectiveness. Each missile dispenses a cargo of approximately three hundred M1025 1.5 kilogram Combined Effects Munitions over the target area. Warhead event is initiated by an electronic time fuze (M239) that is set in the same manner as the M445 electronic time fuze of the M80 rocket. The fuze detonates shaped charges mounted to the skin and bulkheads. This in turn severs the skin. By means of centrifugal force and airstream currents, the M1025 grenades are distributed over the target area. Arming of the M1025 grenades is accomplished by the spin action which is induced on the individual grenade. The M1025 grenade is filled with composition B explosive filler and is covered by a steel shell. Upon impact and detonation each grenade breaks up into a large number of high-velocity steel fragments that are effective against targets such as truck tires, missile rounds, thin-skinned vehicles, and radar antennas. This submunition is not effective against armored vehicles. The M1025 grenade also contains incendiary material and has an antipersonnel radius of 25 metres.

MGM-335A "Arbalest" Theatre Ballistic Missile (THEBAM)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/MGM-335plus.png

Overview

The MGM-335A Arbalest was designed as a two-stage solid-fueled rocket with an inertial navigation system slaved with a satellite positioning system, to be fired from a mobile launcher.

The Arbalest is powered by two soild-fueled rocket stages and can carry its 40 - 150 kiloton W95 thermonuclear warhead to a maximum range of 1,600 kilometres. It is guided by a combined satellite positioning/inertial navigation system, and features a high-speed ablative reentry vehicle.

A single MGM-335A launch platoon consists of only four vehicles. Coupled with the solid-propellant rockets using high-energy fuels and the missile's construction uses light-weight casings made of synthetic carbon fibre, this leads to a much higher mobility and shorter reaction time than other mobile ballistic missiles and allows the weapon to achieve its maximum range of 1,600 kilometres. Two of the most important systems partnered with the MGM-335A missile are the sequential launch adapter (SLA) and the automatic reference system (ARS). The SLA allows an MGM-335A platoon to fire its missiles in quick succession, and the ARS (essentially a ground based inertial unit) eliminates the need to survey the launch site before firing, making on-the-spot launches possible.

Specifications

Length: 10.8m
Diameter: 1.1m
Finspan: 1.5m
Weight: 7,500kg
Ceiling: 338km
Range: 150 - 1,600km
Propulsion: Two-Stage, Solid-fueled rocket motors
Warhead: Thermonuclear, Variable-Yield (40 to 150 kilotons) with High-Speed Reentry Vehicle (HSRV)
Guidance: Satellite Positioning, Inertial Navigation System with Automatic Reference System (ARS)
CEP: 35 - 50m

MGM-335C "Arbalest" Conventional Theatre Ballistic Missile (CTBM)

The MGM-335C was developed as a conventional means of employing the Arbalest MRBM against counterforce targets without relying on a tactical nuclear warhead. The "C" variant is a refinement of the interim MGM-335B used by the Cotlander army against targets in former TPF. The new warhead has a target landing event of nearly 500 metres, making it highly effective in defeating vast tracts of enemy armour and infantry.

Warhead: 960× 1.5 kilogram Combined Effects Munitions (Anti-personnel/anti-materiel shaped-charge, fragmentation and incendiary)

MGM-335D "Arbalest" Theatre Ballistic Missile (TBM)

The MGM-335D retains the same role of the original missile with a number of improvements made in the resolutions of the 2008 White Paper on Strategic Aims. In addition to a new warhead, the weapon receives an improved "Komet" High-speed Re-entry Vehicle with integral chaff dispensers for use in penetrating enemy defences.

Warhead: 1× W10 Thermonuclear, Variable yield warhead (150 - 400kT) with "Komet" High-speed Re-entry Vehicle

FIM-339A "Star Flare" Man-portable Air Defence System

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/FIM-339.png

The FIM-339A is fired by one man through a shoulder launcher. Once a target is located and identified as a threat, the operator has to activate the missile. This process takes about four seconds, and includes IIR/UV seeker cooling, gyro spin-up, and activation of the electronics. When the detector logic has locked on an IR source, a buzzer signal is sent to the operator, who may then pull the trigger. Two seconds later, the missile is launched. After the Star Flare has been ejected from the launcher by a very short duration boost motor, the forward control fins and tailfins extend. After a short coasting period to take the missile to a safe distance from the operator, the two-stage (boost/sustain) solid-fueled main motor ignites. The initial boost phase accelerates the FIM-339A to Mach 2.2 within only two seconds, and top-speed at motor burnout can be as high as Mach 2.6 for certain trajectories. If no target is hit after about twenty seconds, the missile self-destructs.

The continuous-rod warhead, using depleted uranium, not only adds to the effectiveness of the missile's interception probability, but also of its kill potential. The continuous-rod warhead, in its most simple conception, consider a cylindrical form upon which an even number of individual rods are arranged. The rods are parallel to the axis of the form and completely cover it. At one end, every other rod is welded to the adjacent rod. On the opposite end, likewise the rods are welded in pairs. When all rods are welded, the cylinder of rods may be covered with a light sheet metal jacket that will serve to hold all rods in place. The form may now be removed and in its place is cast a cylinder of high explosive.

When detonated, the high explosive imparts a momentum to the rods, thrusting them outward in an expanding circle. The rods are sufficiently ductile to allow the expansion without breaking the rods or the welded joints, the rods instead bending at these locations. At some intermediate point the ring will have a zig-zag (alternating direction) appearance within a cylindrical envelope [See figure 1]. Upon ultimate expansion the ring is circular and contained within a plane. The ring will then break and ultimately tend to form one or more straight rods. Since the net momentum of the rod relative to the missile is roughly zero its effectiveness will rapidly diminish as the broken ring expands.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6d/CRExpanding.png
Figure 1. Representation of rod expansion due to detonation of explosives.

The effect of this rapidly expanding ring upon contact with an aircraft is much more devastating than the conventional shrapnel used in earlier weapons. It is almost assured that any portion of the aircraft intercepted by the expanding ring will be completely dissected, including wiring, fiber optics, cables, and hydraulic lines, no matter how redundant they are. This assurance applies only as long as the ring is unbroken, so multiple layers of rods are employed in practical weapons to increase the effective radius.

Multipurpose Assault Weapon, Lightweight, 90mm (MAWL-90)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/MAWL-90.png

The MAWL-90 recoilless rifle was developed to provide Army light infantry and Marine rifle companies with an effective, direct-fire weapon system for defeating hard targets such as bunkers or garrisoned buildings as well as personnel with the flechette round.

The weapon requires a crew of three to operate it; a gunner, assistant gunner (loader) and ammunition bearer. The breech is hinged on the right side, and had to be swung open to load the round. It was then swung closed and when the rifle was fired, the rear end of the shell case broke up and was blown out of the back of the breech block.

It is capable of maintaining a sustained fire rate of 2 rounds per minute, but the weapon can also be rapid fired at an increased rate of 1 round every 6 seconds (10 rpm) by a well trained crew. The rapid firing is limited to 5 rounds, with a 15 minute cool off period afterwards.

Ammunition for the 90mm rifle is issued in complete fixed cartridges. The term "fixed" means that the projectile and the cartridge case are crimped together. This ensures correct alignment of the projectile and the cartridge case. It also permits faster loading because the projectile and the cartridge case are loaded as one unit. The rear end of the cartridge case is made of frangible material that is completely destroyed when fired. The projectiles used are preengraved, that is, the rotating bands are cut to engage the rifled bore.

Ammunition includes the M1011 HEAT-MP round, using a tandem gold-copper, conical shaped-charge with a penetration rating up up to 800mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armour equivalent. The M1011B Practice round is fitted with an inert warhead with the same weight properties as the HEAT-MP round. The M1012 HESH round is used for defeating bunkers and fortified buildings and even light vehicles and uses Composition-4 plastic explosive. These rounds have an effective range of up to 1,000 metres.

The M1015 Anti-Personnel Canister round consists of a thin-walled, deep-drawn, scored aluminum body which contains a payload of 2,400 eight-grain (0.5 g), low-drag, fin-stabilized, steel-wire flechettes. The sides are scored to facilitate splitting when the round is fired.

When the projectile leaves the muzzle, the pressure ruptures the canister along the score marks to release the flechettes which disperse in a cone angle of approximately 9 degrees. The weapon has a lethal range of up to 250 metres.

G9 7.94mm Select Fire Rifle
OOC: Note, the G109 Rifle's nomenclature and history have been changed to bring it into line with the G18 series weapons. Although this has occurred, those that purchased DPRs to G109 weapons will retain them as such, from this point on, these weapons will be G9 rifles. Given the now-historical context of the G9 rifle, this model is not for sale and this entry is for reference only.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/G9-SLR.png

The G9 was chosen as the standard infantry arm of the Aequatian military in 1959 after a lengthy selection process to replace the previous G7 semiautomatic rifle chambered for the massive 8.5x60mm round originally introduced in 1944.

The G9 operates by means of a gas-operated action very similar to that of the Russian SVT-40. The gas system is driven by a short-stroke, spring-loaded piston housed above the barrel, and the locking mechanism is what is known as a tilting breechblock. To lock, it drops down into a solid shoulder of metal in the heavy receiver like the bolts of the Russian SKS carbine and French MAS-49 series of semi-automatic rifles. As per Aequatian Army and Marine Corps regulations, the rifle uses a standard 20-round box magazine, although it is capable of handling the larger 30- or 40-round box magazines manufactured for the MG9B light machine gun.

Despite using a full-power 7.94mm cartridge, the weapon's recoil is relatively light. This is due mainly to the rifle's weight, but also to its gas-operated design. Designs for fully-automatic rifles, however, gave the shooter considerable abuse from recoil, and the weapon climbs off-target quickly. While prototypes of the G9 retained its fully-automatic firing mode, production rifles were limited to a "Safe-Semiautomatic" 360-degree selector switch while rifle training and doctrine called for the use of semiautomatic bursts when firing to maintain the tightest grouping of rounds on a target.

By modern standards, one disadvantage of the G9 was the amount of work which goes into machining the complex bolt and bolt carrier. Additionally, the movement of the tilting bolt mechanism tends to return differently with each shot, affecting inherent accuracy of the weapon. The G9's receiver was normally machined, whilst most other contemporary military rifles use quicker stamping or casting techniques. However, modern G9 rifles have many improvements over those produced by AMI Corp. The weapon's issued K14 bayonet is designed to fit over the muzzle brake and lock in place, much like the British L85-series weapons.

MG9B 7.94mm Light Automatic Rifle
OOC: Note, the MG110 machine gun's nomenclature and history have been changed to bring it into line with the G18 series weapons. Although this has occurred, those that purchased DPRs to G110 weapons will retain them as such, from this point on, these weapons will be MG9B light automatic rifles. Given the now-historical context of the MG9B LAR, this model is not for sale and this entry is for reference only.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/MG9B.png

The MG9B was developed alongside the G9 rifle to fill the role of a squad automatic weapon (SAW) to provide a rifle squad with a suppressive weapon that was capable of being used during assaults. Using the same receiver, gas and feed systems as the G9 rifle, although manufactured to fire in fully-automatic firing modes only, the weapon can accept the G9's 20-round magazines as a contingency and are interchangeable with the purpose-designed 30-round magazines. The weapon also uses a shortened handguard of similar design and a heavier barrel for sustained fire.

MGM-342A+ "Maus" Small Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (SICBM)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/MGM-342.png

The MGM-342A Maus SICBM was developed with the operational requirements of the Aequatian Republic's Haven Command (HAVENCOM) which called for the deployment of a highly-survivable, mobile strategic weapon delivery system that was rapid-launch capable and have a range of up to 11,000km. It is a three stage missile that uses purely solid fuel and thrust vectoring for two stages (First and second).

The MGM-342A+ variant was an immediate retrofit programme for the Maus missile in an effort to increase the survivability of the warheads in the MIRVs. Using the same technology developed for the Alice MRV in the Maus-B weapon, the "Gryphon" Independently-targeted Re-entry Vehicles are shielded against the effects of nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, heat produced from most ground- and air-based laser systems and even nuclear blasts less than 750m away from the vehicle.

Warhead Type: Ten 650kT Thermonuclear Devices, delivered by "Gryphon" Independently-targeted Re-entry Vehicles
Penetration Aids:
- 30 Radar/IR "Tweedledee" Warhead Decoys
- 4 Chaff Dispensers
Payload: 4,000kg
Total length: 24.0m
Total length w/o warhead: 19.0m
Missile Diameter: 2.40m
Launch Weight: 104,500kg
Range: 11,000km
Circular Error Probability: 66.6m <.<
Guidance Suite: Inertial Navigation System, linked with Regional Positioning Satellites and redundant Terrestrial Radio Navigation System
Basing Mode: 12x12 Wheeled, Transport Erector Launcher, Hardened against EMP blasts

MGM-342B "Maus-B" Surgical Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (SICBM)

The "B" Model of the Maus SICBM was designed to act as a first-strike, decapitation-capable weapon. As the weapon is intended for use against specific targets such as government and military command and control bunkers, the warhead used is a single Deep Earth Penetration (DEP) for use in defeating the defence of the bunkers.

The AN/DLQ-1 Jamming suite is used to defeat a number of enemy detection systems, including active phased-array radar and infrared tracking to increase the survivability of the warhead's "Alice" Maneuverable Re-entry Vehicle. The missile also contains a number of larger Radar/IR "Tweedledum" Warhead Decoys which create similar Radar/IR Signatures as the Alice MRV.

The Alice MRV allows for the thermonuclear warhead of a 4.0MT yield to shift its trajectory during the reentry phase of its flight in order to mislead enemy detection systems (in cooperations with normal penetration aids) and evade missile defence systems such as kinetic-kill surface-to-air missiles. Using a combined inertial/active radar terminal-guidance suite, the MRV allows for pinpoint accuracy with a circular error probability of just 40 metres. The single warhead, for use in bunker busting, allows for a specialized design which provides maximum penetration of both the earth and armoured or reinforced concrete. With a sheer mass of almost 6,000kg and a high terminal velocity, the weapon is more than capable of defeating even the most hardened bunkers underground. The Alice MRV is also shielded against the effects of nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, heat produced from most ground- and air-based laser systems and even nuclear blasts less than 500m away from the vehicle.

Launched from the same 12x12 Wheeled Transport Erector Launcher, the Maus-B uses the same "Cold Launch" canister method as the MGM-342A, in which gas pressure was used to eject the missile from the launch canister. The rocket would only ignite once the missile was free of the launcher.

Warhead Type: Single 4MT Thermonuclear Device, delivered by "Alice" Maneuverable Re-entry Vehicle
Penetration Aids:
- 16 Radar/IR "Tweedledum" Warhead Decoys

UGM-344A "Pike II" Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/UGM-344.png

The launch from the submarine occurs below the ocean surface. The missiles are ejected from their tubes by gas pressure created by a "gas generator", a solid-fuel rocket motor attached to the bottom of the missile tube which heats a pool of water creating steam. After the missile leaves the tube and rises through the water over the submarine, the first stage motor ignites, the aerospike extends, and the boost phase begins. Ideally, the missile is "sheathed" in gas bubbles for its entire time in the water, so liquid never touches the missile. When the third stage motor fires, within two minutes of launch, the missile is traveling faster than 6,000 metres per second.

We wish to place a large order for some of your air reconnaissance aircraft. We do have E3 AWACS which do live up to their reputation exceptionally well but the Ministry of Defence would prefer it if more reconnaissance aircraft were purchased and/or constructed. The Stevidian military budget is increasing at an unnatural rate but the MoD is reluctant to spend any of it on reconnaissance aircraft despite asking for more. The plan, design and construct a prototype would take massive amounts of money and time to perfect before being mass produced. In short, Stevid does not have the time which is why we are turning to you.

Service Scheme (http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/fa121abx0.png)

Overview

The F/A-121 Morgana is an Aequatian-designed, twin-engined, delta-wing highly agile multi-role fighter aircraft designed and built by Aequtian Aerospace Industries. The Morgana is being produced both for land-based use with the Aequatian Republic Air Force and for carrier-based naval operations with the Aequatian Republic Navy and Marine Corps.

Armament

The primary armament of the F/A-121 is the Russkyan-built Aerial Automatic Cannon, Single Barrel, Dual Feed (AAC/SB-DF 01), designated the M156 in Aequatian service. Developed from the Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 (9A-4071K) automatic cannon, AAC/SB-DF 01 is a very similar weapon intended for use originally with the "Project Constellation" YFA-38A-JMRTF, YFA-38B-JMRTF, and other variations thereof.

The weapon consists of a single barrel lined with stellite and serviced by a bore evacuator, located at the mid-length point of the barrel. This means the AAC/SB-DF 01 is more awkward to handle when installing or uninstalling on the JMRTF, however it does increase the barrel life to twice that of its Russian brother without a decrease in accuracy or power. The tight tolerances mean that the weapon has a remarkable capability at range; being able to eliminate aerial targets at as much as 1.8km with as few as two to five rounds of the powerful 30x164mm ammunition.

A long-stroke gas piston is used to operate the weapon's action. The choice of a long-stroke rather than short-stroke method of operation reduces stress on the internal components and increases part longetivity. The weapon has been proven to function with as many as 25,000 rounds fired under conditions impossible to replicate on an combat aircraft. Some of the conditions the AAC/SB-DF 01 were tested in would only be encountered by an IFV or APC attempting to operate in a tropical swamp environment - despite this, the automatic cannon passed all reliability tests with flying colours.

Smaller additions than the barrel lining and bore evacuator differ AAC/SB-DF 01 from GSh-30-1. These include a forward-slotted muzzle brake designed to increase initial muzzle velocity by redirecting otherwise wasted propellant gases back behind the projectile. In addition, a selectable dual hopper feed enables the weapon to simultaneously carry two ready types of ammunition, selectable by the pilot at his discretion. The weapon features bottom ejection. Ammunition hopper capacity is 300 rounds each for a total of 600.

Fire control electronics are designed to inferface with the Cravanian designed systems for the JMRTF although the weapon will function with suitable fibreoptic/wire connections to almost any system.

The air combat loadout of the F/A-121 allows for an extensive variety of weapons available for use, ranging from any NATO or CIS air-to-air missiles such as the AIM-9X Sidewinder and AIM-120C AMRAAM along with the MBDA Meteor or Vympel R-73 or R-77 weapons. In Aequatian service (Air Force and Navy) the primary missile armaments for air combat are the AIM-196B Starfire Bravo AQMAAM and the AIM-133A Star Seeker AMRAAM.

For strike missions, the F/A-121 has a large arsenal at its disposal, besides NATO and CIS standardized weapons, the aircraft is also well-suited for other international systems. A list is provided of the weapons used in Aequatian service.

Advanced Crew Station

Inherited from the F/A-39 Enforcer, the F-121 has a UCFD (Up Front Control Display) with touch-pad controller for waypoint or frequenct entry, which is the primary interface for the aircrew to operate the aircraft’s avionics systems. Two DDIs(Digital Display Indicators) are mounted on either side of the UFCD. DDIs mirror each other in terms of funcitonality and allow the operator to control two displays at once. Each DDI has twenty buttons positioned around the four edges of the screen, each having different functions. The primary navigation aid display is the MPCD (Multipurpose Colour Display) positioned beneath the UFCD. It combines the horizontal situation indicator and the moving map.

All the displays use active matrix liquid crystal display technology. High Order Language software provides the capability to fuse MIDS (Multi-Function Information Distribution System), RWR (Radar Warning Receiver) and digital moving map on the displays.

The Advanced Crew Station (ACS) is the redesigned aft-cockpit for the B-model Enforcers. The forward and aft cockpits are decoupled so that the pilot and WSO can work independently of each other.

The F/A-121 has five displays in each cockpit used for aircraft system control and sensor display. A monochrome UFCD is the primary interface with the aircraft’s avionics systems. Two colour Advanced Multipurpose Displays (AMPD) are mounted on either side of the UFCD. An engine Fuel Display (EFD) displays engine data and fuel quantity. The forward cockpit has a 150x150cm MPCD and HOTAS (Hands-On Throttle and Stick) controls. The aft cockpit has an 205x254cm MPCD. The larger screen displays more information, including moving map, MIDS tracks and FLIR imagery.

The operator can select software and sensor display formats on any display and control system functions using a selection of buttons positioned around the edge of the display. Dual aft cockpit hand controls provide complete display and weapon system control. The WSO seated in the aft cockpit of an ACS-configured aircraft can launch missiles and release air-to-ground munitions. This capability allows the WSO to concentrate on targeting, arming and releasing weapons while the pilot focuses on looking out for threats and other aircraft during ingress to the target.

New HOTAS options are available for the Forward Air Controller (Airborne) mission. Assigning DiMPIs (Desired Mean Point of Impact) with the hand controllers in a jet fitted with an original aft-cockpit was difficult, sometimes impossible because of the controller’s archatecture. ACS enables the WSO to assign DiMPIs with target points and run the mission. Futhermore, the WSO can locate small targets using the FLIR imagery displayed on the larger display and use the JHMQS to designate the target for other aircraft using MIDS.

Joint Helmet-Mounted Queuing System

The Joint Helmet-Mounted Queuing System, or J.H.M.Q.S., increases effectiveness in both air combat and ground strike missions. It comprises of a regular flight helmet and a Helmet Display Unit. Each visor is formed around the specific dimensions of the pilot's helmet so it fits best and is locked in place. The J.H.M.Q.S. senses where the pilot is looking using magnetic mapping, essentially tracking the distortions in the visor's magnetic field by merely the movement of your eyes, the display unit projects an exact representation of the HUD onto the visor in front of the pilot's primary eye and then blanks out once they look back at the HUD inside the cockpit, allowing the pilot to acquire targets with the aircraft's weapon systems. Software is also included to control the forward-looking infrared targeting unit with the helmet, allowing the pilot to designate targets on the ground as well.

The system functions differently for the tandem 'B' variants, it reduces the amount of communication and avoids mistakes when determining who is looking at what between the pilot and weapon systems operator, increasing the crew's situational awareness. A small star is projected on the visor showing each other's line of sight, wherever the pilot looks, the weapons operator can see the pilot's star in his helmet's field of view and vice versa. A small cross hair projected on visor marks the spot where the crewmember is looking, when both the star and cross hair line up, both crewmembers are looking at the same spot."

The J.H.M.Q.S. is integrated with both the aircraft's radar and FLIR-T pod, if you look at an adversary, the radar slews to it for a lock-on. Similarly, the FLIR-T is also slaved to the unit, the visor presents a field of view and a small box used to zoom in and out during target acquisition. Either crewmember can slew the the FLIR-T onto the target, 'come in' to the cockpit and view the FLIR-T video feed, tighten it up and link the video target designation to a ground forward air controller who can assign another aircraft to strike it if the plane is unable to do so itself.

Defensive Systems

The Enforcer’s Electronic Warfare (EW) Suite comprises two countermeasure systems, the AN/ALQ-214 RFCM (Radio Frequency Countermeasures) and the AN/ALQ-123 IDECM (Integrated Defensive Countermeasures).

Integrated Defence

IDECM provides the aircrew with coordinated situational awareness and manages on-board and off-board deception countermeasures and expendible decoys. IDECM includes the Symetrics Industries AN/ALE-47 countermeasures dispenser used for chaff cartridges, flares, POET (Primed Oscillator Expendable Transponder) and GEN-X (Generic Expendable) decoys. It carries 120 expendable decoys versus the 60 carried in the AN/ALE-39 on the F-1C Banshee. The pilot can optimize the countermeasures employed against threatsin manual, semi-automatic and automatic release modes.

In automatic mode the system receives threat data from the aircraft’s missile wanring system and radar warning receiver, and selects the appropriate type of response, the dispensation sequence, pattern and timing. In semi-automatic mode the system provides a signal to the pilot who must consent to dispensation. Manual mode has six pre-programmed reponses selected by the pilot.

Dispensation of expendables and jamming is coordinated by the IDECM resource manager to avoid wasteful use of chaff, decoys or flares. Other systems in the IDECM are the AN/ALE-50 towed decoy and the AN/ALR-67(v)3 radar warning receiver (RWR).

The Raytheon AN/ALE-50 is an integrated towed decoy for long-range detection and fast deployment against most radar-guided threats. It acts as a preferential target that lures enemy missiles away with a radar cross section (RCS) larger than the aircraft.

The AN/ALR-67(v)3 RWR provides warning of detected threat emitters that are targeting the aircraft. It intercepts, identifies and prioritizes threat signals characterized in terms of frequency, amplitude, direction and pulse width. Unlike the earlier AN/ALR-67(V)2, a super-heterodynereceiver fittedon the F-1C Banshee, the (V)3 is a digital-queued receiver providing the Enforcer with greater sensitivity throughout a wider frequency range. The ALR-67(V)3 has a programmed library of threat frequencies and waveforms. Upon detection of a threat, the (V)3 displays information about the threat to the pilot. Based on the type of waveform detected, the ALR-67(V)3 provides and catagorization (non-lethal, lethal or critical) with its direction of arrival.

The ALR-67(V)3 is a quadrant system with two forward antennas built into the leading edge flaps on the lex (the forward component of the wing leading to the fuselage) and one in the vertical stabilizer. It also features a low-band antenna array on the underside of the aircraft. On the F-1C Banshee, each component of the EW suite was independently run by crew interaction. The ALR-67(V)3 is an integrated system. A central computer in the onboard jammer (the resource manager of the IDECM suite) communicates with the ALR-67(V)3 to establish the active threats in the battle space. Using its own receiver, the ALR-67(V)3 compares and combines threats to optimize a co-ordinated response, such as jamming and chaff dispensation.

Onboard Jamming

Onboard RF (Radio Frequency) jamming capability is provided by the AN/ALQ-214 equipped with its own receiver and three antennas. The ALQ-214 determines if the onboard system can respond to a threat. If the desired countermeasure technique is available the system will invoke an omni-directional response that includes DRICM (directed Infra-Red Countermeasure). The system operates in manual, semi-automatic or automatic mode. In manual mode the operator commands the system to jam using the cockpit display that shows the threat. In semi-automatic mode a queue of detected threats is displayed, and the operator must give consent for the system to jam. In automatic mode the system jams without any operator input.

Aircrew get feedback, with enhanced symbology appearing on the cockpit display showing the jamming in progress, in sync with whatever manoeuvres are being made. Integrated with the onboard jammer is an off-board jamming system – the AN/ALE-55 Fibre-Optic Yowed Decoy (FOTD). It works in synergy with the onboard system to detect threats throughout the RF spectrum in three layers of defence: suppression, deception and seduction.

During a tracking radar’s acquisition phase, the Enforcer’s EW system uses the FOTD to emit jamming techniques through its borad-beam antennas. These suppress the radar’s ability to acquire and track the target. If the tracking radar successfully acquires the aircraft in spite of suppression, the ALE-55 uses deception techniques. Once the tracking radar’s signals are analysed, the ALE-55 determines the optimum jamming techniques to break the track. If multiple radars are detected simultaneous jamming techniques can be transmitted. If a missile is launched, the ALE-55 can break the missiles track of the aircraft or lure the missile away by simulating itself as the target.

The ALE-55 subsystem comprises an on-board signal conditioning assembly and the FOTD. RF frequencies are converted to light by the signal conditioning assembly and transferred through the fibre-optic line. In primary mode the onboard EW system detects and analyses a threat, determines the appropriate response, and sends that response down the lineto the FOTD for transmission. A back-up mode uses an independent repeater that modulates the detected signal and sends it down the line for transmission by the FOTD. A magazine mounted mid-body on the centerline of the underbelly, houses three towed decoys which can be deployed in manual, semi-automatic or automatic modes.

The FOTD has variable drag fins, which open and close in response to air pressure and speed. This ensures stable flight at all altitudes and airspeeds, reliable jamming performance and minimizes tension on the fibre-optic line. The speed and precision of the decoy’s deployment is achieved by an active braking system.

ASQ-337 Forward-Looking Infrared Targeting Suite (FLIRTS)

The ASQ-337 Foward-Looking Infrared Targeting Suite is used to designate ground targets. The system consists of a three to five micron staring focal plane array targeting FLIR, an electro-optical camera, a high-power laser rangefinder and designator and a laser spot tracker, a navigation FLIR system and a C.C.D. television camera. The latter has different fields of zoom that are also incorporated with the FLIR itself.

There are three modes of operation - point stabilize mode, seen-track mode or automatic track mode - all incorporate a laser for target tracking, ranging and target designation. The entire system can generate real-time target updates and link them to the JDAM weapons in-flight using the Digital Communication System, keeping the weapon's strike point within two metres of the target. The pod also has a real-time data link, an image taken by the FLIR's camera can be annotated and linked to ground troops who can view it in real-time. Instructions from the ground Joint terminal attack controller can be sent to the cockpit advising the pilot or weapons officer of where the soldiers or marines on the ground need the weapon to strike, this then eases target acquisition, avoids confusion and prevents fratricide incidents.

SHared Advanced Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP)

The Shared Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP) is a multi-functioned reconnaissance pod, adaptable to several airborne platforms for tactical manned airborne reconnaissance. It is capable of simultaneous airborne and ground screening capabilities. SHARP is deemed by the Air Force and Navy as cutting edge technology that will take airborne reconnaissance into the 21st century.

The design for the SHARP pod includes a rotating midsection that allows an unobstructed, horizon-to-horizon view for any of the variety of sensors that can be housed in it. In addition, this design provides both weight and cost savings, as well as significantly more protection for the sensors viewing window. The pod's design provides mobility-it hangs from a bomb rack rather than being attached to a weapons rail or the aircraft body, which is the usual approach to pod design-allowing for more flexibility in reconnaissance mission planning. While its initial use is for the F/A-39 and now the F/A-121, the pod can be used on a wide range of aircraft.

The Morgana's design requires an organic, all-weather, day/night, manned, tactical air reconnaissance capability to provide continuous and immediate intelligence support to the Battle Group Commander (BGC) in the prosecution of independent, joint, or combined operations as well as to provide intelligence data for the security of those forces under his/her command. To meet this requirement, the Departments of the Air Force and Navy will incorporate a SHAred Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP) on the centerline of the F/A-121 that will employ a suite of sensors to collect infrared, visible, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) digital imagery at medium and high altitudes.

SHARP will be a major contributor to the precision strike capability of GPS and digital, image-guided weapons. The system will utilize COTS/NDI dual-band electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensors and subsystems in a pod for tactical and other aircraft. It will provide all altitude over flight and long range stand-off EO/IR imagery and SAR, capable of near real-time datalink to afloat and shore-based JSIPS stations.

The Recon/Optical [ROI] CA-295 camera performs a range of high-altitude, long-range missions while operating at standoff ranges beyond 50 nautical miles. The CA-295 digital camera simultaneously produces both infrared and visible spectrum images, providing the user with day/night, near real-time data for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The CA-295 incorporates ROI's patented digital framing array and step frame technology to provide wide area coverage stereo imagery with both high resolution and unparalleled geometric fidelity.

Designed to operate within the rigorous environment of a jet fighter, this modular, dual-spectral-band camera comprises three major assemblies. The stabilized imaging unit (SIU) contains both visible and IR imaging modules, long-range precision optics, common camera and stabilization electronics, and power supplies. The image processing unit (IPU) contains the system controller electronics, I/O interfaces, and a scalable set of image processing boards for formatting and processing both IR and visible image data. The power conversion unit (PCU) connects to the aircraft power system and supplies filtered, switched power to the SIU and IPU.

The CA-295 dual-band camera is available in several optical configurations, to allow tailoring of the focal length to a specific performance requirement. Multiple interface options are also available, allowing choice of control, image data and formatting interfaces. The CA-295 is available for export to many international customers.

APG-127 Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (AESAR)

The APG-127 AESA radar use an agile active electronic beam to swich through multiple antennas in tile-array architecture at very high speed, to perform the scan function traditionally undertaken by a moving antenna.

The system uses Transmit-Receive (TR) modules positioned in front of the array, with high-power, low-noise amplifiers to generate power during transmission. The combined power of the array TR modules on the front of the array is down-converted from RF to digital waveform and collimated (limiting the spread of the antenna beam). The antenna beam is formed (the array is phased-up) and the energy transmitted. Formation of the beam is electronically controlled by computer, which also steers the beam at speeds much greater than mechanical radars.

A high-speed beam re-steer capability allows the APG-127 to interleave air-to-air and air-to-ground modes, thereby maintaining airspace situational awareness while air-to-ground operations are undertaken. Enforcer aircrew have substancially increased situational awareness of the battle space offered by the APG-127’s multimode interleaving and network-centric capabilities.

An advanced four-channel receiver/exciter gives the APG-127 wide bandwidth capability and the ability to generate a broad spectrum of waveforms for air-to-air, air-to-ground and electronic warfare missions.

The APG-127 radar can track significantly more targets than mechanical radar sysetms and can near simultaneously operate in multiple air-to-air and air-to-ground modes. The modes are: real beam mapping, synthetic aperature radar (used to generate air-to-air and air-to-ground imagery), air-to-air search, air-to-air track, sea surface search, ground moving target indication and ground moving target tracking. In response to mission requirements, the radar’s built-in resource manger automatically schedules tasks to optimise radar functions and minimize aircrew workload.

One ley attribute of APG-127 is its reliability – it has no moving parts (mechanical gimballs), which eliminates risk of mechanical failure. The ultra thin, lightweight antennas have a low failure rate, with no requirement for maintenance for a predicted ten to twenty years after production. It is claimed that the APG-127 yields a five-fold reliability increase compared with the APG-73 radar fitted to F-1C Banshees.

APG-127 provides the Enforcer with an electronic attack capability, with near simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground elements. Defensive electronic countermeasure techniques used for electronic attack, generated by the ALQ-214 jammer are sent to the APG-127 via an RF connection and directed to the target through the radar’s TR modules. Running with H4 software will enable more air-to-air capabilities and network-centric operations. An improved automatic target identification system called ATRATQ (Auto Target Recognition and Auto Target Queuing) and more sensor integration will follow in future builds.

Powerplant

The aircraft is powered by engines evolved from those originally used on the F/A-39 Enforcer. The architecture comprises of a three-stage fan, seven-stage compressor and a single-stage high and low pressure tubine developing almost one hundred eleven thousand Newtons of thrust.

The TF-190VAB engines have improved bird strike and foreign-object damage resistant characteristics over the older models. A tandem blisk (integral blades and disks) is used for the second and third stages, this improves durability, by eliminating life-limiting dovetail joints which are traditionally used between each blade and the disk, reduces weight and increases performance compared to similar sized engines. The engine core comprises of a compressor, combustor and high-speed turbine, the compressor is a seven-stage design with the first three stages of 'blisk' construction. The combustor has an annular design with almost thirty thousand laser-drilled holes to tailor the cooling flow through the combustor liner, this then generates an even temperature distribution from the unit, which minimizes the impact of temperature variation on the turbine blades immediately behind it. Mono-crystal blades and thermal barrier coated airfoils are features of the engine's turbines. The materials help to extend the life of the components from the high temperature environment. The turbines also have a boltless retainer construction, which eliminates the need to use life-limiting boltholes in the disks to improve durability and overall maintenance life cycle costs."

The afterburner has an air-cooled, radial, segmented flame holder system comprising of a dozen individual segments bolted to the inside of its casing. Cooler air passing through fan is ducted between the outer casing and the liner to cool the components. Some of the cool air passes through the individual segments of the flame holder maintaining a relatively constant temperature and minimizing thermal shock against the spray bars inside the holders. In older engine designs the mix of the afterburner's high temperatures with the cold temperature of the fuel caused thermal quenching during each engine cycle that causes cracking and a require maintenance session on the ground. The engine has a variable exhaust nozzle to optimize performance. Flaps in the V.E.N. slide across each other as the nozzle opens and closes to maintain the flow path. Durability is achieved in the very high temperature environment by using ceramic matrix composite material.

The throttle and the fly-by-wire system, which would send signals to the original dual-channel F.A.D.E.C. or Full-Authority Digital Engine Control to request the required power level and it would respond appropriately. The systems controls the variable geometry of the engine's fan and compressor, V.E.N. actuators and fuel supplied for the main and augmenter combustion. The F.A.D.E.C. is also integrated with the aircraft control system to perform special functions, such as Reduced Authority Thrust System, or R.A.T.S. as we like to call it, used for landing with a limited arrestor cable landing on the Navy and Marine variants.

The dual channel means the system can use two separate computers in one box, with an active/standby configuration where one channel is in control, with the other in standby mode. The standby channel will automatically assume full control should a failure of the active channel occur, providing the aircraft with a good contingency in case of an accident or damage. The system also functions as an integrated part of the aircraft providing troubleshooting, fault detection and isolation capabilities to component level. Engine fault codes are displayed in the cockpit for the pilot's attention, the same codes are also displayed on a screen within the wheel well for maintenance crews after the flight.

There are six interchangeable modules to the entire engine; fan, compressor, combustor, high pressure turbine, low pressure turbine and afterburner. They are all mounted at the base of the engine, making maintenance easy and most cost effective. Each engine is also interchangeable with its left and right counterpart and can be changed out completely within thirty minutes, even less with a well-trained crew. We have also set out specifications on Reliability-centered maintenance to be required every 2,400 operating hours and to make these efficient, the engine has eight bore-scope inspection ports and an In-Flight Engine Condition Monitoring System or I.E.C.M.S.

BA-74E Scimitar Supersonic Precision Strike Bomber

Lineart (http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/ba74dpy9.png)

Overview

The BA-74E Scimitar is a medium-range strategic bomber, reconnaissance, and tactical strike aircraft designed by Aequatian Aerospace Industries. Originally intended to provide close air support with an increased payload compared to older designs, the BA-74A Arrow along with its updated variant, is fully capable of all strike missions, including the delivery of tactical nuclear warheads.

Armament

The BA-74E uses the Russkyan-built Aerial Automatic Cannon, Single Barrel, Dual Feed (AAC/SB-DF 01), designated the M156 in Aequatian service as its primary weapon for ground attack and limited air combat.

Like the F/A-121A Morgana, the BA-74E is fully capable with all NATO and CIS weapon systems, along with Aequatian weapons.

Avionics

The BA-74E uses the same avionics suites as all other Aequatian aircraft, this includes the Advanced Crew Station for both the Pilot and Weapons Systems Officer and the Joint Helmet-Mounted Queuing System.

For weapons targeting and image intelligence (IMINT) the aircraft is integrated with the ASQ-337 Forward-Looking Infrared Targeting Suite (FLIRTS) and SHared Advanced Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP).

Defensive Systems

The Scimitar's Electronic Warfare (EW) Suite comprises two countermeasure systems, the AN/ALQ-214 RFCM (Radio Frequency Countermeasures) and the AN/ALQ-123 IDECM (Integrated Defensive Countermeasures), the same as those on the F/A-121A.

The BA-74E is also capable of integrating with the AN/ALQ-225 Tactical Jamming Pod. Receiver equipment and antennas are mounted in a fin-tip pod while jamming transmitters and exciter equipment a located in under-wing pods. The system is capable of intercepting, automatically processing and jamming received radio frequency signals. The system receivers are also be used to detect, identify and direction find those signals, providing Signals intelligence (SIGINT) either automatically or manually.

APG-134 Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (AESAR)

The APG-134 AESA radar, based off the same APG-127 AESAR on the F/A-121A, use an agile active electronic beam to switch through multiple antennas in tile-array architecture at very high speed, to perform the scan function traditionally undertaken by a moving antenna.

The system uses Transmit-Receive (TR) modules positioned in front of the array, with high-power, low-noise amplifiers to generate power during transmission. The combined power of the array TR modules on the front of the array is down-converted from RF to digital waveform and collimated (limiting the spread of the antenna beam). The antenna beam is formed (the array is phased-up) and the energy transmitted. Formation of the beam is electronically controlled by computer, which also steers the beam at speeds much greater than mechanical radars.

A high-speed beam re-steer capability allows the APG-134 to interleave air-to-air and air-to-ground modes, thereby maintaining airspace situational awareness while air-to-ground operations are undertaken. Enforcer aircrew have substantially increased situational awareness of the battle space offered by the APG-134's multimode interleaving and network-centric capabilities.

An advanced four-channel receiver/exciter gives the APG-134 wide bandwidth capability and the ability to generate a broad spectrum of waveforms for air-to-air, air-to-ground and electronic warfare missions.

The APG-134 radar can track significantly more targets than mechanical radar systems and can near simultaneously operate in multiple air-to-air and air-to-ground modes. The modes are: real beam mapping, synthetic aperture radar (used to generate air-to-air and air-to-ground imagery), air-to-air search, air-to-air track, sea surface search, ground moving target indication and ground moving target tracking. In response to mission requirements, the radar’s built-in resource manger automatically schedules tasks to optimise radar functions and minimize aircrew workload.

One ley attribute of APG-134 is its reliability – it has no moving parts (mechanical gimballs), which eliminates risk of mechanical failure. The ultra thin, lightweight antennas have a low failure rate, with no requirement for maintenance for a predicted ten to twenty years after production. It is claimed that the APG-134 yields a five-fold reliability increase compared with the APG-73 radar fitted to F-1C Banshees.

APG-134 provides the Enforcer with an electronic attack capability, with near simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground elements. Defensive electronic countermeasure techniques used for electronic attack, generated by the ALQ-214 jammer are sent to the APG-134 via an RF connection and directed to the target through the radar’s TR modules. Running with H4 software will enable more air-to-air capabilities and network-centric operations. An improved automatic target identification system called ATRATQ (Auto Target Recognition and Auto Target Queuing) and more sensor integration will follow in future builds.

Powerplant

The aircraft is powered by engines evolved from those originally used on the F/A-39 Enforcer. The architecture comprises of a three-stage fan, seven-stage compressor and a single-stage high and low pressure tubine developing almost one hundred eleven thousand Newtons of thrust.

The TF-196AB engines have improved bird strike and foreign-object damage resistant characteristics over the older models. A tandem blisk (integral blades and disks) is used for the second and third stages, this improves durability, by eliminating life-limiting dovetail joints which are traditionally used between each blade and the disk, reduces weight and increases performance compared to similar sized engines. The engine core comprises of a compressor, combustor and high-speed turbine, the compressor is a seven-stage design with the first three stages of 'blisk' construction. The combustor has an annular design with almost thirty thousand laser-drilled holes to tailor the cooling flow through the combustor liner, this then generates an even temperature distribution from the unit, which minimizes the impact of temperature variation on the turbine blades immediately behind it. Mono-crystal blades and thermal barrier coated airfoils are features of the engine's turbines. The materials help to extend the life of the components from the high temperature environment. The turbines also have a boltless retainer construction, which eliminates the need to use life-limiting boltholes in the disks to improve durability and overall maintenance life cycle costs."

The afterburner has an air-cooled, radial, segmented flame holder system comprising of a dozen individual segments bolted to the inside of its casing. Cooler air passing through fan is ducted between the outer casing and the liner to cool the components. Some of the cool air passes through the individual segments of the flame holder maintaining a relatively constant temperature and minimizing thermal shock against the spray bars inside the holders. In older engine designs the mix of the afterburner's high temperatures with the cold temperature of the fuel caused thermal quenching during each engine cycle that causes cracking and a require maintenance session on the ground. The engine has a variable exhaust nozzle to optimize performance. Flaps in the V.E.N. slide across each other as the nozzle opens and closes to maintain the flow path. Durability is achieved in the very high temperature environment by using ceramic matrix composite material.

The throttle and the fly-by-wire system, which would send signals to the original dual-channel F.A.D.E.C. or Full-Authority Digital Engine Control to request the required power level and it would respond appropriately. The systems controls the variable geometry of the engine's fan and compressor, V.E.N. actuators and fuel supplied for the main and augmenter combustion. The F.A.D.E.C. is also integrated with the aircraft control system to perform special functions, such as Reduced Authority Thrust System, or R.A.T.S. as we like to call it, used for landing with a limited arrestor cable landing on the Navy and Marine variants.

The dual channel means the system can use two separate computers in one box, with an active/standby configuration where one channel is in control, with the other in standby mode. The standby channel will automatically assume full control should a failure of the active channel occur, providing the aircraft with a good contingency in case of an accident or damage. The system also functions as an integrated part of the aircraft providing troubleshooting, fault detection and isolation capabilities to component level. Engine fault codes are displayed in the cockpit for the pilot's attention, the same codes are also displayed on a screen within the wheel well for maintenance crews after the flight.

There are six interchangeable modules to the entire engine; fan, compressor, combustor, high pressure turbine, low pressure turbine and afterburner. They are all mounted at the base of the engine, making maintenance easy and most cost effective. Each engine is also interchangeable with its left and right counterpart and can be changed out completely within thirty minutes, even less with a well-trained crew. We have also set out specifications on Reliability-centered maintenance to be required every 2,400 operating hours and to make these efficient, the engine has eight bore-scope inspection ports and an In-Flight Engine Condition Monitoring System or I.E.C.M.S.

F-124A Bullwhip Air Superiority Fighter

Lineart (http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/f124xj7.png)

Overview

The F-124A Bullwhip was developed to provide as a tri-service (Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps) air superiority fighter aircraft for both beyond visual range (BVR) and close-range air combat with limited ground attack capabilities. Designed to rival foreign designs such as the prolific Questerian FGR.1 Storke or "Shuka" the F-124A was developed with constant flight tests and air combat simulations with those Storke aircraft purchased by the Aequatian Republic Navy from ADEN.

Despite the variable-geometry wing type and the advanced avionics, the F-124A Bullwhip is an inexpensive aircraft to purchase, maintain and operate. The the powerful engine, weapon systems and sheer mass of the aircraft provide one of the most agile and capable fighters on the market currently.

Armament

The primary armament consists of a pair of M156 30mm automatic cannons of Russkyan design, similar to those on all modern Aequatian aircraft, providing the fighter with a practical rate of fire of almost 3,000 rounds per minute.

The air combat weapon of choice for the F-124A is the Illiorian-designed AIM-133A Star Seeker AMRAAM for beyond visual range engagements, while the aircraft uses the Aequatian AIM-196B Starfire Bravo Model.

Ground attack capabilities are limited, although with the addition of a SHared Advanced Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP) system, the pilot is able to greatly increase the Bullwhip's strike ability. The weapons control computer is fully integrated with all ground attack weapons. (Listed below)

Avionics

The F-124A uses the same avionics suites as all other Aequatian aircraft, this includes the Advanced Crew Station for both the Pilot and Weapons Systems Officer and the Joint Helmet-Mounted Queuing System.

For weapons targeting the aircraft is integrated with the ASQ-337 Forward-Looking Infrared Targeting Suite (FLIRTS), which can be used for passive detection of enemy aircraft infrared signatures out to a distance of a hundred kilometres.

Defensive Systems

The Bullwhip's Electronic Warfare (EW) Suite comprises two countermeasure systems, the AN/ALQ-214 RFCM (Radio Frequency Countermeasures) and the AN/ALQ-123 IDECM (Integrated Defensive Countermeasures), the same as those on the F/A-121A.

The F-124A is also capable of integrating with the AN/ALQ-225 Tactical Jamming Pod for use as a supersonic "Wild Weasel" strike aircraft . Receiver equipment and antennas are mounted in a fin-tip pod while jamming transmitters and exciter equipment a located in under-wing pods. The system is capable of intercepting, automatically processing and jamming received radio frequency signals. The system receivers are also be used to detect, identify and direction find those signals, providing Signals intelligence (SIGINT) either automatically or manually.

APG-127 Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (AESAR)

The APG-127 AESA radar use an agile active electronic beam to swich through multiple antennas in tile-array architecture at very high speed, to perform the scan function traditionally undertaken by a moving antenna.

The system uses Transmit-Receive (TR) modules positioned in front of the array, with high-power, low-noise amplifiers to generate power during transmission. The combined power of the array TR modules on the front of the array is down-converted from RF to digital waveform and collimated (limiting the spread of the antenna beam). The antenna beam is formed (the array is phased-up) and the energy transmitted. Formation of the beam is electronically controlled by computer, which also steers the beam at speeds much greater than mechanical radars.

A high-speed beam re-steer capability allows the APG-127 to interleave air-to-air and air-to-ground modes, thereby maintaining airspace situational awareness while air-to-ground operations are undertaken. Enforcer aircrew have substancially increased situational awareness of the battle space offered by the APG-127’s multimode interleaving and network-centric capabilities.

An advanced four-channel receiver/exciter gives the APG-127 wide bandwidth capability and the ability to generate a broad spectrum of waveforms for air-to-air, air-to-ground and electronic warfare missions.

The APG-127 radar can track significantly more targets than mechanical radar sysetms and can near simultaneously operate in multiple air-to-air and air-to-ground modes. The modes are: real beam mapping, synthetic aperature radar (used to generate air-to-air and air-to-ground imagery), air-to-air search, air-to-air track, sea surface search, ground moving target indication and ground moving target tracking. In response to mission requirements, the radar’s built-in resource manger automatically schedules tasks to optimise radar functions and minimize aircrew workload.

One ley attribute of APG-127 is its reliability – it has no moving parts (mechanical gimballs), which eliminates risk of mechanical failure. The ultra thin, lightweight antennas have a low failure rate, with no requirement for maintenance for a predicted ten to twenty years after production. It is claimed that the APG-127 yields a five-fold reliability increase compared with the APG-73 radar fitted to F-1C Banshees.

APG-127 provides the Enforcer with an electronic attack capability, with near simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground elements. Defensive electronic countermeasure techniques used for electronic attack, generated by the ALQ-214 jammer are sent to the APG-127 via an RF connection and directed to the target through the radar’s TR modules. Running with H4 software will enable more air-to-air capabilities and network-centric operations. An improved automatic target identification system called ATRATQ (Auto Target Recognition and Auto Target Queuing) and more sensor integration will follow in future builds.

Powerplant

The F-124A Bullwhip has a single AAI TF-191VAB engine, which is a slightly modified version of the powerplant used in the F/A-121A Morgana strike fighter, although modified to fit structurally in the Bullwhip's airframe, it is essentially the same engine. The architecture comprises of a three-stage fan, seven-stage compressor and a single-stage high and low pressure tubine developing almost one hundred eleven thousand Newtons of thrust.

The TF-190VAB engines have improved bird strike and foreign-object damage resistant characteristics over the older models. A tandem blisk (integral blades and disks) is used for the second and third stages, this improves durability, by eliminating life-limiting dovetail joints which are traditionally used between each blade and the disk, reduces weight and increases performance compared to similar sized engines.

MQ-20E Shade Medium Altitude, Long Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (MALE-UAV)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/MQ-20E.png
MQ-20E "Shade"

Overview

The MQ-20E Shade is the latest in the series of Aequatian-designed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, the E variant replaces all previous versions of the aircraft in use by the Aequatian Republic Air Force and Navy, the multi-mission capability of the current variant being able to fulfill the required roles with a simple change in programming.

The primary mission in both ARAF and ARN service of the Shade UAV is that of low-observable intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) in support of military operations. The aircraft can detect and designate targets for Army and Marine artillery, Naval gunfire and missile support and Air Force strike packages. The aircraft itself is also capable of limited combat, being integrated with a number of missile systems such as the AGM-65Q Maverick II anti-tank missile in Aequatian service. The composite construction and airframe design allow for a small RCS and more weight allowances for fuel and weapons.

Onboard Jamming

Onboard RF (Radio Frequency) jamming capability is provided by the AN/ALQ-214 equipped with its own receiver and three antennas. The ALQ-214 determines if the onboard system can respond to a threat. If the desired countermeasure technique is available the system will invoke an omni-directional response that includes DRICM (directed Infra-Red Countermeasure). The system operates in manual, semi-automatic or automatic mode. In manual mode the operator commands the system to jam using the cockpit display that shows the threat. In semi-automatic mode a queue of detected threats is displayed, and the operator must give consent for the system to jam. In automatic mode the system jams without any operator input.

ISTAR Capabilities

Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance Operations is the MQ-20E's primary mission and as such, is provided with the most advanced systems to perform such duties with ease, including the ASQ-337 FLIRTS and SHARP.

ASQ-337 Forward-Looking Infrared Targeting Suite (FLIRTS)

The ASQ-337 Foward-Looking Infrared Targeting Suite is used to designate ground targets. The system consists of a three to five micron staring focal plane array targeting FLIR, an electro-optical camera, a high-power laser rangefinder and designator and a laser spot tracker, a navigation FLIR system and a C.C.D. television camera. The latter has different fields of zoom that are also incorporated with the FLIR itself.

There are three modes of operation - point stabilize mode, seen-track mode or automatic track mode - all incorporate a laser for target tracking, ranging and target designation. The entire system can generate real-time target updates and link them to the JDAM weapons in-flight using the Digital Communication System, keeping the weapon's strike point within two metres of the target. The pod also has a real-time data link, an image taken by the FLIR's camera can be annotated and linked to ground troops who can view it in real-time. Instructions from the ground Joint terminal attack controller can be sent to the cockpit advising the pilot or weapons officer of where the soldiers or marines on the ground need the weapon to strike, this then eases target acquisition, avoids confusion and prevents fratricide incidents.

SHared Advanced Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP)

The Shared Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP) is a multi-functioned reconnaissance pod, adaptable to several airborne platforms for tactical manned airborne reconnaissance. It is capable of simultaneous airborne and ground screening capabilities. SHARP is deemed by the Air Force and Navy as cutting edge technology that will take airborne reconnaissance into the 21st century.

The design for the SHARP pod includes a rotating midsection that allows an unobstructed, horizon-to-horizon view for any of the variety of sensors that can be housed in it. In addition, this design provides both weight and cost savings, as well as significantly more protection for the sensors viewing window. The pod's design provides mobility-it hangs from a bomb rack rather than being attached to a weapons rail or the aircraft body, which is the usual approach to pod design-allowing for more flexibility in reconnaissance mission planning.

The Shade's design requires an organic, all-weather, day/night, manned, tactical air reconnaissance capability to provide continuous and immediate intelligence support to the Battle Group Commander (BGC) in the prosecution of independent, joint, or combined operations as well as to provide intelligence data for the security of those forces under his/her command. To meet this requirement, the Departments of the Air Force and Navy will integrate a SHAred Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP) into the airframe of the MQ-20E that will employ a suite of sensors to collect infrared, visible, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) digital imagery at medium and high altitudes.

SHARP will be a major contributor to the precision strike capability of GPS and digital, image-guided weapons. The system will utilize COTS/NDI dual-band electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensors and subsystems in a pod for tactical and other aircraft. It will provide all altitude over flight and long range stand-off EO/IR imagery and SAR, capable of near real-time datalink to afloat and shore-based JSIPS stations.

The Recon/Optical [ROI] CA-295 camera performs a range of high-altitude, long-range missions while operating at standoff ranges beyond 50 nautical miles. The CA-295 digital camera simultaneously produces both infrared and visible spectrum images, providing the user with day/night, near real-time data for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The CA-295 incorporates ROI's patented digital framing array and step frame technology to provide wide area coverage stereo imagery with both high resolution and unparalleled geometric fidelity.

Designed to operate within the rigorous environment of a jet fighter, this modular, dual-spectral-band camera comprises three major assemblies. The stabilized imaging unit (SIU) contains both visible and IR imaging modules, long-range precision optics, common camera and stabilization electronics, and power supplies. The image processing unit (IPU) contains the system controller electronics, I/O interfaces, and a scalable set of image processing boards for formatting and processing both IR and visible image data. The power conversion unit (PCU) connects to the aircraft power system and supplies filtered, switched power to the SIU and IPU.

The CA-295 dual-band camera is available in several optical configurations, to allow tailoring of the focal length to a specific performance requirement. Multiple interface options are also available, allowing choice of control, image data and formatting interfaces. The CA-295 is available for export to many international customers.

Powerplant

The MQ-20E Shade uses a single engine which was developed originally for the BGM-338 Ground-Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM). It is a lightweight turbofan engine, capable of 25kN (5,620lbf) of thrust.

AGM-348A "Dagger" Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/AGM-348A.png

In an attempt to replace the original AGM-88G HARM anti-radiation missile tasked for the suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD), the Dagger ARM was developed with an increased effectiveness in its true fire-and-forget and second-strike capabilities, the latter provided by the ability to loiter using a parachute.

In loiter mode, Dagger will, when launched, climb to an altitude of 15,000 metres. If the target radar shuts down, the missile will deploy a parachute and descend slowly until the radar lights up. The missile will then fire a secondary motor to attack the target.

The conventional Blast-Fragmentation warhead commonly used in the AGM-88G weapon was also evaluated and was replaced with a much more powerful thermobaric warhead, which is much more effective in heat and overpressure of the blast area compared to traditional explosives.

AGM-349A "Rook" Air-launched Stand-Off Weapon (ASOW)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/AGM-349.png

The AGM-349A is a stealthy cruise missile powered by an Avionics Dynamics AD-30 Microturbofan. It uses flip-out wings with control surfaces and a single vertical tail for flight control. It is guided by a jamming-resistant satellite-aided inertial navigation system, and uses an IIR (Imaging Infrared) seeker for autonomous pattern-based target selection and terminal homing.

The missile is armed with either a 450 kilogram, Deep-earth penetrator and high-capacity, high-explosive unitary warhead or twenty 24 kilogram, Anti-Runway Bomblets (ARB) for use against runway tarmac in addition to a hundred and twenty 1.7 kilogram Remote Anti-Personnel Mines (High-explosive, airburst) to disrupt repair and recovery operations.

The weapon's accuracy is quoted as around 2.4 metres circular error probability and is also equipped with a datalink to transmit status and location information until impact to assist bomb damage assessment.

Primarily developed for use by the Aequatian Republic Air Force as a stand-off weapon for engaging targets such as air defence positions, command and control bunkers and airfields, the Aequatian Republic Navy and Marine Corps have purchased the weapon for the same use as the ARAF, but retain the Typhoon air-launched missile for maritime targets such as vessels and floating platforms.

ADM-350A "Samson" Tactical Air-launched Decoy (TAD)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/ADM-350A.png

The ADM-350A Samson Tactical Air-launched Decoy was developed as a joint venture between the Aequatian Republic Air Force and Navy with Avionics Dynamics Ltd. as the primary contractor for an expendable glide vehicle with a square fuselage, flip-out wings, and three tail control surfaces. A digital flight control system could be programmed to conduct various speed or maneuvering changes during flight. The missile could be launched from 13,000 metres, at which height it had a range of up to 144 kilometres; at low altitude the range is reduced to only 36 kilometres. The ADM-350B TAD-ER uses an Avionics Dynamics Ltd. AD-30 Microturbofan and increases the effective range to over 300km at high altitude and nearly 88km at low altitudes.

The Samson TAD is launched from aircraft and uses a number of methods, ranging from the deployment of chaff to a false infrared signature similar to that of a strike aircraft to transmitting a radar signature of the same in order to confuse radar operators and dilute enemy air defences from intercepting strike aircraft.

Length: 2.6m
Wingspan: 1.6m

A-16C "Invader" Advanced Capability Precision Strike Bomber

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/a16cws2.png

Overview

A complete upgrade of the original A-16A Invader attack aircraft, the A-16C ADCAP provides the Aequatian Republic Navy and Marine Corps with an effective and dedicated precision bomber for use in air interdiction and close air support missions.

Avionics

The BA-74E uses the same avionics suites as all other Aequatian aircraft, this includes the Advanced Crew Station for both the Pilot and Weapons Systems Officer and the Joint Helmet-Mounted Queuing System.

For weapons targeting and image intelligence (IMINT) the aircraft is integrated with the ASQ-337 Forward-Looking Infrared Targeting Suite (FLIRTS) and SHared Advanced Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP).

Defensive Systems

The Scimitar's Electronic Warfare (EW) Suite comprises two countermeasure systems, the AN/ALQ-214 RFCM (Radio Frequency Countermeasures) and the AN/ALQ-123 IDECM (Integrated Defensive Countermeasures), the same as those on the F/A-121A.

The BA-74E is also capable of integrating with the AN/ALQ-225 Tactical Jamming Pod. Receiver equipment and antennas are mounted in a fin-tip pod while jamming transmitters and exciter equipment a located in under-wing pods. The system is capable of intercepting, automatically processing and jamming received radio frequency signals. The system receivers are also be used to detect, identify and direction find those signals, providing Signals intelligence (SIGINT) either automatically or manually.

APG-134 Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (AESAR)

The APG-134 AESA radar, based off the same APG-127 AESAR on the F/A-121A, use an agile active electronic beam to switch through multiple antennas in tile-array architecture at very high speed, to perform the scan function traditionally undertaken by a moving antenna.

The system uses Transmit-Receive (TR) modules positioned in front of the array, with high-power, low-noise amplifiers to generate power during transmission. The combined power of the array TR modules on the front of the array is down-converted from RF to digital waveform and collimated (limiting the spread of the antenna beam). The antenna beam is formed (the array is phased-up) and the energy transmitted. Formation of the beam is electronically controlled by computer, which also steers the beam at speeds much greater than mechanical radars.

A high-speed beam re-steer capability allows the APG-134 to interleave air-to-air and air-to-ground modes, thereby maintaining airspace situational awareness while air-to-ground operations are undertaken. Enforcer aircrew have substantially increased situational awareness of the battle space offered by the APG-134's multimode interleaving and network-centric capabilities.

An advanced four-channel receiver/exciter gives the APG-134 wide bandwidth capability and the ability to generate a broad spectrum of waveforms for air-to-air, air-to-ground and electronic warfare missions.

The APG-134 radar can track significantly more targets than mechanical radar systems and can near simultaneously operate in multiple air-to-air and air-to-ground modes. The modes are: real beam mapping, synthetic aperture radar (used to generate air-to-air and air-to-ground imagery), air-to-air search, air-to-air track, sea surface search, ground moving target indication and ground moving target tracking. In response to mission requirements, the radar’s built-in resource manger automatically schedules tasks to optimise radar functions and minimize aircrew workload.

One ley attribute of APG-134 is its reliability – it has no moving parts (mechanical gimballs), which eliminates risk of mechanical failure. The ultra thin, lightweight antennas have a low failure rate, with no requirement for maintenance for a predicted ten to twenty years after production. It is claimed that the APG-134 yields a five-fold reliability increase compared with the APG-73 radar fitted to F-1C Banshees.

APG-134 provides the Enforcer with an electronic attack capability, with near simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground elements. Defensive electronic countermeasure techniques used for electronic attack, generated by the ALQ-214 jammer are sent to the APG-134 via an RF connection and directed to the target through the radar’s TR modules. Running with H4 software will enable more air-to-air capabilities and network-centric operations. An improved automatic target identification system called ATRATQ (Auto Target Recognition and Auto Target Queuing) and more sensor integration will follow in future builds.

BGM-338A "Hydra" Ground-Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/BGM-338A.png

Overview

The BGM-338 GLCM was originally designed as part of the "Ultimate Contingency Doctrine" of the Aequatian Republic's Military Forces which called for the use of tactical nuclear weapons, under the authority of a general commanding a theatre, should an enemy force either overrun Aequatian ground forces or use nuclear weapons in an offensive manner. It is partnered with the MGM-335A "Arbalest" Theatre Ballistic Missile in its UCD role and offers commanders an optional redundancy in the delivery of tactical nuclear weapons.

A conventionally-configured cruise missile, the BGM-338 is essentially a small, pilotless flying machine, powered by a turbofan engine. Unlike ballistic missiles, whose aimpoint is usually determined by gravitic trajectories, a cruise missile is capable of complicated aerial manoeuvres, and can fly a range of predetermined flight plans. Also, it flies at much lower altitudes than a ballistic missile, typically with a terrain-hugging flight plan. The trade-off for this low-observability flight is strike time; cruise missiles travel far more slowly than a ballistic weapon, and the GLCM is typical in this regard.

Militarily, the GLCM is targeted against fixed targets -- at the outer edge of its range, the missile's flight time with its subsonic turbofan was more than 2 1/2 hours. This contrasted sharply with Arbalest, which had a flight time of 10-15 minutes. However, the range of the GLCM gave it the ability to strike deep within enemy territory, and the weapon's low-altitude flight profile, TERCOM guidance, and low RCS would have made it far more difficult to intercept a GLCM even if the launch were detected in time.

Completely road-mobile, it is carried in an 8x8 wheeled TEL and also possesses the weapons launch control station within the vehicle's confines. Armoured against shrapnel and most cluster submunitions, the TEL is also protected against the effects of all RNBC effects and electromagnetic pulse attacks.

The development of the improved conventional munition (ICM) B variant also allows for the missile to be submarine-launched from vertical launch systems in addition to the original TEL vehicles.

PROJECT PEGASUS - Aequatian Republic Land Forces

PROJECT PEGASUS is a joint-service procurement programme for new air defence weapon systems for the entire Aequatian Republic Military Forces. The Aequatian Republic Land Forces (Army) was the first to complete their own requirements outlined in the original summary.

The ARLF outlined the requirement for three levels of defence for ground forces operating in combat operations: Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD), High to Medium Air Defence (HIMAD) and Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).

Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) provides defence along the forward edge of battlespace against a number of point threats, such as low-flying, fixed- and rotary-wing close air support aircraft. The first of which is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system.

M742 "Duster II" Anti-Aircraft Gun System (AAGS)

Overview

The M742 Duster II AAGS is a completely self-contained system in an unmanned turret with FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) and TV sensors, laser rangefinder and designator, a search radar, and four M156 30mm automatic cannons. This turret is mounted on the vehicle, which is in current applications a modified M50 Lucas mechanized combat vehicle chassis. When the X-band phased-array search radar has detected a target, it is tracked by the passive optical (TV or FLIR) sensors, which are immune to anti-radiation missiles and ECM. When the target is in range, the cannons fire in control bursts until the target is out of range or is eliminated.

The M156 30mm Automatic Cannon

The M156 30mm automatic cannon, which is a license-built, Russkyan-designed Aerial Automatic Cannon, Single Barrel, Dual Feed (AAC/SB-DF 01). Developed from the Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 (9A-4071K) automatic cannon, AAC/SB-DF 01 is a very similar weapon intended for use as an aircraft primary cannon.

The weapon consists of a single barrel lined with stellite and serviced by a bore evacuator, located at the mid-length point of the barrel. This means the AAC/SB-DF 01 is more awkward to handle when installing or uninstalling on the M742 turret, however it does increase the barrel life to twice that of its Russian brother without a decrease in accuracy or power. The tight tolerances mean that the weapon has a remarkable capability at range; being able to eliminate aerial targets at as much as 1.8km with as few as two to five rounds of the powerful 30x164mm ammunition.

A long-stroke gas piston is used to operate the weapon's action. The choice of a long-stroke rather than short-stroke method of operation reduces stress on the internal components and increases part longetivity. The weapon has been proven to function with as many as 25,000 rounds fired under conditions impossible to replicate on an combat aircraft. Some of the conditions the AAC/SB-DF 01 were tested in would only be encountered by an IFV or APC attempting to operate in a tropical swamp environment - despite this, the automatic cannon passed all reliability tests with flying colours.

Smaller additions than the barrel lining and bore evacuator differ AAC/SB-DF 01 from GSh-30-1. These include a forward-slotted muzzle brake designed to increase initial muzzle velocity by redirecting otherwise wasted propellant gases back behind the projectile. In addition, a selectable dual hopper feed enables the weapon to simultaneously carry two ready types of ammunition, selectable by the pilot at his discretion. The weapon features bottom ejection. Ammunition hopper capacity is 300 rounds each for a total of 600.

Dimensions:
- Length, Overall: 3.05m
- Length, Barrel: 2.25m
- Weight: 47.50kg
Caliber, Operating Mechanism, and RoF:
- Caliber: 30x164mm
- Method of operation: Gas-driven long-stroke.
- Rate of Fire, Cyclic: 1,800rpm
- Rate of Fire, Practical: 1,500rpms
Muzzle Velocity and Ammunition Types:
- Muzzle Velocity (V/0): 860-900m/s (Depending on ammunition type.)
- Ammunition Types:
-- High Explosive Fragmentation (HE-FRAG / HEF)
-- High Explosive Fragmentation, Tracer (HE-FRAG-T / HEFT)
-- Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS)
-- Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot, Tracer (APDS-T)
-- Armour Piercing Finned Sabot Discarding Combustible Sabot (APFSDCS)
Effective Ranges:
- Aerial Targets: 1,200-1,800m
- Ground Targets: 1,800-2,250m

The M742 turret mounted these in two pairs of linked guns, allowing for a total rate of fire of 6,000 to 7,200 rounds per minute, and are linked to a Electro-Optical guidance system with Forward-Looking Infrared capabilities assisted by a powerful X-band search/targeting radar suite.

MIM-352A "Star Flash" High to Medium Air Defence Missile (HIMAD)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/HIMAD.png

Overview

The MIM-352A Star Flash was developed from the Joint High to Medium Air Defence program to develop an active radar guided missile with an effective coverage range up to 150 kilometres. The complete system is used by both the Aequatian Republic Land Forces (Army) and Air Force for corps-level air defence and close-range airbase defence, respectively.

HIMAD has an all-weather, beyond-visual-range (BVR) capability. HIMAD serves as a follow-on to the MIM-120K Starbuck missile series. The new missile is faster and has improved capabilities against low-altitude targets. It also incorporates a datalink to guide the missile to a point where its active radar turns on and makes terminal intercept of the target. An inertial reference unit and micro-computer system makes the missile less dependent upon the fire-control system of the ground control station.

Once the missile closes in on the target, its active radar guides it to intercept. This feature, called "fire and forget," frees the command crew from the need to continuously provide guidance, enabling them to aim and fire several missiles simultaneously at multiple targets. The missile also features the ability to "Home on Jamming," giving it the ability to switch over from active radar homing to passive homing - homing on jamming signals from the target aircraft. Software on board the missile allows it to detect if it is being jammed, and guide on its target using the proper guidance system.

Guidance system overview

Interception course stage

HIMAD uses two-stage guidance when fired at long range. The Fire Control Centre passes data to the missile just before launch, giving it information about the location of the target aircraft from the launch point and its direction and speed. The missile uses this information to fly on an interception course to the target using its built in inertial navigation system (INS). This information is generally obtained using the launching battery's radar, although it could come from an infra-red search and tracking system (IRST), from a data link from overhead fighter aircraft, or from an AEW&C aircraft.

If the firing surrogate continues to track the target, periodic updates are sent to the missile telling it of any changes in the target's direction and speed, allowing it to adjust its course so that it is able to close to self-homing distance while keeping the target aircraft in the basket (the radar seeker's field of view) in which it will be able to find it.

Terminal stage and impact

Once the missile closes to self-homing distance, it turns on its active radar seeker and searches for the target aircraft. If the target is in or near the expected location, the missile will find it and guide itself to the target from this point. If the missile is fired at short range (typically, visual range), it can use its active seeker just after launch, making the missile truly fire-and-forget.

Kill probability and tactics

General considerations

Once in its terminal mode, the missile's advanced electronic counter countermeasures (ECCM) support and good maneuverability mean that the chance of it hitting or exploding close to the target is high (on the order of 90%), as long as it has enough remaining energy to maneuver with the target if it is evasive. The kill probability (Pk) is determined by several factors, including aspect (head-on interception, side-on or tail-chase), altitude, the speed of the missile and the target, and how hard the target can turn. Typically, if the missile has sufficient energy during the terminal phase, which comes from being launched close enough to the target from an aircraft flying high and fast enough, it will have an excellent chance of success. This chance drops as the missile is fired at longer ranges as it runs out of overtake speed at long ranges, and if the target can force the missile to turn it might bleed off enough speed that it can no longer chase the target.

RIM-352B "Sea Flash" High to Medium Air Defence Missile (HIMAD)

The RIM-352B Sea Flash is the Aequatian Republic Navy's variant of the J-HIMAD missile for use in medium-range fleet defence roles against enemy anti-shipping missiles, aircraft and drones. The weapon is fully-capable with the Vertical Launch Systems installed on all ARN vessels and are similar to the Army's MIM-352A model with the exception of a third-stage rocket motor booster to increase its effective range out to three hundred kilometres (162 nautical miles).

"Evergreen" Theatre High Altitude Air Defence System (THAADS)

Overview

The Evergreen Theatre High Altitude Air Defence System (THAADS) was developed as part of the Joint Services Command's Project Pegasus, which is a modernization effort for all of the Aequatian Republic's air defence networks. The Evergreen THAADS is a complete defence system against not only short- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles, but also low-orbit satellites and limited capabilities against intercontinental ballistic missiles. The system consists of a myriad of weapons and electronic systems which aid in its mission which includes the following:

MIM-354A "Kingfisher" High Altitude Missile (HAM)
TPY-7 "Red Pine" Surveillance and Control Passive Electronically Scanned (X-band) Ground-based Radar (GBR)
M1320 Eight-wheeled, all-drive, modular vehicle

MIM-354A "Kingfisher" High Altitude Missile (HAM)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/THAAD.png

The MIM-354A "Kingfisher" High Altitude Missile (HAM) is the main component of the Evergreen THAADS missile system and is an easily transportable defensive weapon system to protect against hostile incoming threats such as tactical and theatre ballistic missiles at ranges of 200 kilometres and at altitudes up to 150 kilometres. The MIM-354 system provides the upper tier of a 'layered defensive shield' to protect high value strategic or tactical sites such as airfields or populations centres. The missile intercepts both exo-atmospheric and endo-atmospheric threats.

Targeting information is uploaded to the missile immediately before launch and continuously updated during the flight. The MIM-354 missile is powered by a single stage solid-propellant rocket motor with thrust vectoring. After burnout, the booster is separated from the kill vehicle (KV), which continues to the interception point. For exo-atmospheric manoeuvering, the KV is equipped with an Aequatian Aerospace Industries-developed liquid DACS (Divert and Attitude Control System). In the terminal intercept phase, the KV is guided by an Optronics Inc. staring DFPA (Dual Focal Plane Array) infrared/ultraviolet seeker, whose window is protected in the initial flight phase by a clamshell protection shroud. The KV has no explosive warhead and destroys the target by direct impact. The THAAD can intercept ballistic missile targets at altitudes up to 150 kilometres at a range of more than 200 kilometres.

TPY-7 "Red Pine" Surveillance and Control Passive Electronically Scanned Ground-based Radar (GBR)

The TPY-702 "Red Pine" Surveillance and Control Passive Electronically Scanned Ground-based Radar (GBR) is an X-Band, phased array, solid-state radar developed and built by Aequatian Electronic Dynamics at its Attica, Aequatius Prime Integrated Air Defense Facility. The TPY-702 is employed for surveillance at ranges of up to 1,000 kilometres as well as target identification and target tracking, thanks to its high power output and beam/waveform agility. Targeting information is uploaded to the missile immediately before launch, and continuously updated during the flight. The TPY-702 is deployed with the Evergreen THAADS aboard an M1320 8x8 transport vehicle, but it can also be used independently as part of an ABM infrastructure. In addition to the THAADS radar, AED provides weapons systems engineering and Battle Management Command, Control, Communication, and Information (BMC3I) support for the THAADS system.

RGM-172D "Sea Pike" Hypersonic Stand-Off Anti-Shipping Missile (SO-AShM)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/RGM-172D.png

Overview

Originally developed for a number of roles, the BGM-172A/B missiles were quickly replaced in Aequatian service after the required role was deleted from Aequatian doctrines. With the durability of modern surface combatants such as aircraft carriers and battleships, the Aequatian Republic Navy laid out a requirement for a missile that was not only capable of penetrating enemy defence systems but also of carrying a warhead that can sink or disable an enemy capital ship from a stand-off distance.

Cold-launched from a sealed canister, the system is perfect for use in vertical launch systems (VLS) that can incorporate the system's dimensions. A new guidance package allows for the use of Satellite-Positioning System coordinates to determine the position of a target and that data is input into the missile organic Inertial Navigation System (INS) for use in flight. For terminal guidance, the missile uses an on-board, Active Electronically scanned Array Radar suite with a Home-on-Jam capability.

The new AN/DSQ-361 guidance section includes the computers, the Inertial Navigation System (INS), and the new multi-channel Satellite-Positioning System (SPS) Receiver. The data link has a longer range and is more jamming-resistant. Software upgrades in the WCU-48 control section make it easier for the operator to direct the missile to the selected target, and also introduce such features as target switching immediately before launch and search-while-track mode to search for a better aim-point without breaking lock on an existing one. The terminal-phase active radar suite allows for precision tracking of targets and with a combined Home-on-Jam capability, the missile can defeat enemy countermeasures with ease. The RGM-172D uses the same 750kg (1,655lb) Penetrating Blast-Fragmentation warhead as that mounted on the air-launched AGM-200A+ Typhoon.

Unlike most anti-ship missiles, the RGM-172D is not sea-skimming during its flight, instead using a quasi-ballistic flightpath gained with the use of an extra rocket motor booster to increase range, allow for higher speeds and provide better target acquisition. The missile follows a lower trajectory than a ballistic missile. That means it is much harder to predict where it will hit, adding to the confusion of systems and operators attempting to interdict the weapon. Its high speed and flightpath allow for one of the most effective anti-shipping missiles available on the international market. It is during the midcourse phase of the weapon's fight when it deploys a number of penetration aids in order to defeat enemy countermeasures, including warhead decoys to fool enemy radar systems.

Alastair Class General Purpose Frigate

Image: Link (http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Ships/Alastair_FFG_GP.png)

Overview

The Alastair class frigate's mission is to provide multi-threat protection for military and merchant shipping, amphibious task forces and underway replenishment groups. The frigate plays in important role for the Aequatian Republic Navy as general-purpose escort vessels capable enough to do most jobs adequately, yet cheap enough to be bought in large quantities to replace wartime losses or be widely exported to allied nations.

Weapons Systems

The Alastair's primary weapon is the MH-96K Catfish LAMPS VII helicopter, which acts in concert with shipboard sensors to seek out and destroy submarines at long distances from the ship. The ship has a helicopter deck fitted with a RAST system allowing the launch and recovery of helicopters in up to Sea State 6. The Alastair also carries a considerable anti-submarine capability with the forward Mark 43 Mod 9 Vertical Launch System with thirty two launch cells for use with the RUM-139G UM-139G VL-ASROC mounting the Mark 72 61cm torpedo. Quad-packed RIM-352B "Sea Flash" High to Medium Air Defence Missiles (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13273060&postcount=210) can also be carried in the forward VLS launch cells should an air defence role be necessary.

Point air defense capabilities are provided by two Mark 8 Mod 0 "Lineman" 30mm close-in weapon systems (CIWS) are mounted aft of the helicopter landing pad and forward of the superstructure for "last ditch" defense against targets that evade the RIM-196C Sea Fire Rolling Airframe Missiles (A single mount with twenty weapons equipped aft of the main mast). The Mk.8 CIWS use the 30mm High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) rounds which improves the capability of air defense guns such to engage and destroy aerial targets, from large aircraft to small targets such as missiles or PGMs. The gun fires short, 24-round burst of high velocity HEAB rounds aimed at the target's intercept point. Every projectile is programmed by a muzzle based electromagnetic inductor, which sets an electronic timer to activate and separate the projectile into 154 Tungsten-carbide, spin-stabilized submunitions (3.5 grams each), forming a lethal cone shaped metal cloud, placed ahead of the target in its flight path.

The main gun on the forecastle is a 63.5mm/64-calibre Mark 16 automatic gun. The gun is capable of firing 2.8 kilogram shells at a rate of 180 rounds per minute at a range of more than 23 kilometres. The Mark 16 is a multi-purpose weapon usable against surface and air targets using a number of shells, including the 2.5-inch Delayed-fuse High-Capacity, High-Explosive (DF-HCHE), High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) with 320 3.2 gram Tungsten-carbide, spin-stabilized submunitions and Inert training rounds. For close-in point defence against smaller surface targets and supporting boarding operations, there are also two Mark 158 30mm Fully-Stabilized Automatic Cannon that is manually-aimed using a combined Electro-Optical/FLIR sighting system from Aequatian Optronics.

Countermeasures

The ship's decoy system comprises four Mark 78 Sea Shield decoy launchers which fire chaff to 2 km and infrared rockets to 200 metres in distraction, confusion and centroid seduction modes. The torpedo decoy is the AN/SLQ-25K Nixie III towed acoustic decoy. The ship's radar warning receiver, the AEQ-EWS (Aequatian Electronic Warfare Systems), SLQ-501, and the radar jammer, SLQ-505, were developed by Q-EWS.

Sensors

The primary Three-Dimensional SPS-506 Air and Surface Search Radar is the forward mast-mounted "Sea Giraffe" Active Electronicall Scanned Array (AESA) operating at the G and H band frequencies. Mounted atop the forward mast is the SPG-503 Fire Control Radar operating on the K and I band frequencies. The aft mast mounted the SPS-504 Long-range Air Search Radar operating on the C and D band frequencies.

Sonar suites include the Active SQS-510 Hull-mounted variable depth and the SQR-507 Passive towed array. The sonobuoy processing system is the UYS-509.

Propulsion

The Alastair class is powered by a CODOG (combined diesel or gas) system with two Aequatian Automotive Industries Model 750 Diesel Engines and one Aequatian Automotive Industries Model 4000 Gasoline Turbine. AAI provided the Integrated Machinery Control System (IMCS) which adds a higher degree of computer control for the machinery plant.

General Characteristics
Draft: 5.1m
Width: 18.8m
Length: 144m
Displacement: 5,400 Metric tons (Standard); 6,200 Metric tons (Fully Loaded)

Derrick Class Anti-Submarine Warfare Destroyer

Image: Link (http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Ships/Derrick_DDG_ASW.png)

Overview

The Derrick-class destroyer was developed by the Aequatian Republic to replace a large number of older class destroyers specified for anti-submarine warfare. The class was designed for primarily anti-submarine warfare (ASW) with point defense anti-aircraft warfare (AAW) missiles; there is also limited provided anti-ship and land attack capabilities.

Weapons Systems

The Derrick's primary weapon is a pair of MH-96K Catfish LAMPS VII helicopters, which act in concert with shipboard sensors to seek out and destroy submarines at long distances from the ship. The ship has a helicopter deck fitted with a RAST system allowing the launch and recovery of helicopters in up to Sea State 6.

The ship's missile armament is mounted in the forward Mark 43 Mod 9 Vertical Launch System which has 96 launch cells for use with a number of the Aequatian Republic Navy's missile arsenal, although the Derrick DDG would primarily mount the RUM-139G VL-ASROC mounting the Mark 72 61cm torpedo or the RGM-200A+ Typhoon High-Speed Anti-Shipping Missile. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11128548&postcount=458) (A 50/50 setup is preferred for general use, with the forward 48 launch cell blocks mounting the RUM-139G and the rear 48 launch cell blocks equipped with the RGM-200A+ missiles.)

For local air defence, the ships are armed with the quad-packed RIM-352B Sea Flash HIMAD (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13273060&postcount=210) vertical launch surface-to-air missile in the port and starboard-side 24-cell launchers mounted midship and are linked to the ship's fire control systems, allowing for 192 missiles to be ready for immediate launch to protect both the vessel and those around it. Point air defence capabilities are provided by a Mark 118 Mod 6 launcher for the RIM-196C Sea Fire Rolling Airframe Missile, itself holding twenty weapons. Two Mark 8 Mod 0 "Lineman" 30mm close-in weapon systems (CIWS) are mounted aft of the helicopter landing pad and forward of the superstructure for "last ditch" defense against targets that evade the Sea Flash and RIM-196C Sea Fire Rolling Airframe Missiles. The Mk.8 CIWS use the 30mm High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) rounds which improves the capability of air defense guns such to engage and destroy aerial targets, from large aircraft to small targets such as missiles or PGMs. The gun fires short, 24-round burst of high velocity HEAB rounds aimed at the target's intercept point. Every projectile is programmed by a muzzle based electromagnetic inductor, which sets an electronic timer to activate and separate the projectile into 154 Tungsten-carbide, spin-stabilized submunitions (3.5 grams each), forming a lethal cone shaped metal cloud, placed ahead of the target in its flight path.

The ship's main gun, a 140mm/54-calibre Mark 140 Mod 0 Dual Purpose lightweight gun. It is designed to be used against surface warships, for anti-aircraft use and shore bombardment to support amphibious operations. The gun mount features an automatic loader with a capacity of 20 rounds. These can be fired under full automatic control, taking a little over a minute to exhaust those rounds at maximum fire rate. For sustained use, the gun mount would be occupied (below deck) by a three-man crew (gun captain, panel operator, and ammunition loader) to keep the gun supplied with ammunition.

A secondary gun aft of the forward mast is a 63.5mm/64-calibre Mark 16 automatic gun. The gun is capable of firing 2.8 kilogram shells at a rate of 180 rounds per minute at a range of more than 23 kilometres. The Mark 16 is a multi-purpose weapon usable against surface and air targets using a number of shells, including the 2.5-inch Delayed-fuse High-Capacity, High-Explosive (DF-HCHE), High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) with 320 3.2 gram Tungsten-carbide, spin-stabilized submunitions and Inert training rounds.

Countermeasures

The ship's decoy system comprises four Mark 78 Sea Shield decoy launchers which fire chaff to 2 km and infrared rockets to 200 metres in distraction, confusion and centroid seduction modes. The torpedo decoy is the AN/SLQ-25K Nixie III towed acoustic decoy. The ship's radar warning receiver, the AEQ-EWS (Aequatian Electronic Warfare Systems), SLQ-501, and the radar jammer, SLQ-505, were developed by Q-EWS.

Mounted atop the forward mast is the SPG-503 Fire Control Radar operating on the K and I band frequencies. The aft mast mounted the SPS-504 Long-range Air Search Radar operating on the C and D band frequencies.

Sonar suites include the Active SQS-510 Hull-mounted variable depth and the SQR-507 Passive towed array. The sonobuoy processing system is the UYS-509.

Propulsion

The Derrick class vessels use four Aequatian Automotive Industries Model 4000 Gasoline Turbine engines for propulsion set up to run in a COGAG configuration. Combined gas turbine and gas turbine (COGAG) is a type of propulsion system for ships using two gas turbines connected to a single propeller shaft. A gearbox and clutches allow either of the turbines to drive the shaft or both of them combined.

Using one or two gas turbines has the advantage of having two different power settings. Since the fuel efficiency of a gas turbine is best near its maximum power level, a small gas turbine running at its full speed is more efficient compared to a twice as powerful turbine running at half speed, allowing more economic transit at cruise speeds.

Compared to Combined diesel and gas (CODAG) or Combined diesel or gas (CODOG), COGAG systems have a smaller footprint (useful in hunting submarines) but a much lower fuel efficiency at cruise speed and for CODAG systems its also somewhat lower for high speed dashes.

AAI provided the Integrated Machinery Control System (IMCS) which adds a higher degree of computer control for the machinery plant.

General Characteristics
Draft: 8.8m
Width: 16.8m

Rowe Class Anti-Air Warfare Destroyer

Image: Link (http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Ships/Rowe_DDG_AAW.png)

Overview

The Rowe class destroyer were designed to provide the Aequatian Republic Navy with a capable air defence platform that would protect larger capital ships of the fleet against massive anti-shipping missile attacks and enemy aircraft.

Weapons Systems

As a floating air defence platform, the ship's primary armament consists of a number of Mark 49 Mod 3 Vertical Launch System for use with the quad-packed RIM-352B "Sea Flash" High to Medium Air Defence Missile (HIMAD). (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13273060&postcount=210) The ship has a total of 260 launching cells mounted in several positions on the forward and aft hull and on the port and starboard sides, allowing for a total of over a thousand (1,040) missiles to be prepared for immediate launch against enemy targets. For limited self-defence, surface attack capability, there is also a 24-cell Mark 43 Mod 9 Vertical Launch System for the RGM-200A+ Typhoon High-Speed Anti-Shipping Missile. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11128548&postcount=458)

Point self-defence against enemy missiles is provided by a single aft-mounted Mark 118 Mod 6 launcher for the RIM-196C Sea Fire Rolling Airframe Missile, itself holding twenty weapons. In addition to these, the Rowe also mounts a pair of fore and aft mounted Mark 8 Mod 0 "Lineman" 30mm close-in weapon systems (CIWS) for "last ditch" defense against targets that evade the Medusa and Sea Fire Rolling Airframe Missiles. The Mk.8 CIWS use the 30mm High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) rounds which improves the capability of air defense guns such to engage and destroy aerial targets, from large aircraft to small targets such as missiles or PGMs. The gun fires short, 24-round burst of high velocity HEAB rounds aimed at the target's intercept point. Every projectile is programmed by a muzzle based electromagnetic inductor, which sets an electronic timer to activate and separate the projectile into 154 Tungsten-carbide, spin-stabilized submunitions (3.5 grams each), forming a lethal cone shaped metal cloud, placed ahead of the target in its flight path.

The ship mounts a medium-calibre gun in the form of a 63.5mm/64-calibre Mark 16 automatic gun. The gun is capable of firing 2.8 kilogram shells at a rate of 180 rounds per minute at a range of more than 23 kilometres. The Mark 16 is a multi-purpose weapon usable against surface and air targets using a number of shells, including the 2.5-inch Delayed-fuse High-Capacity, High-Explosive (DF-HCHE), High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) with 320 3.2 gram Tungsten-carbide, spin-stabilized submunitions and Inert training rounds.

Countermeasures

The ship's decoy system comprises eight Mark 78 Sea Shield decoy launchers which fire chaff to two kilometres and infrared rockets to 200 metres in distraction, confusion and centroid seduction modes. The torpedo decoy is the AN/SLQ-25K Nixie III towed acoustic decoy. The ship's radar warning receiver, the AEQ-EWS (Aequatian Electronic Warfare Systems), SLQ-501, and the radar jammer, SLQ-505, were developed by Q-EWS.

Sensors

The Rowe class vessels mount the powerful SPY-510 passive electronically scanned array, it is a key component of the Aequatian Republic Navy's Fleet Defence Network, the system is computer controlled, using four complementary antennas in order to provide full 360 degree coverage and operates on the S band frequency and has an effective detection range for low-flying targets up to 250 kilometres (135 nautical miles) and even farther for high altitude targets. Mounted atop the forward mast and is the SPG-513 Fire Control Radar operating on the K and I band frequencies for use with the RIM-304A Medusa missiles for their flight and terminal phases.

The ship also mounts the Three-Dimensional SPS-506 Air and Surface Search Radar on the aft mast using the "Sea Giraffe" Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) operating at the G and H band frequencies. Mounted atop the aft mast is the SPG-503 Fire Control Radar operating on the K and I band frequencies for use with the point defence weapons like the Lineman CIWS turrets and the RAM launchers.

Sonar suites include the Active SQS-510 Hull-mounted variable depth and the SQR-507 Passive towed array, although the latter is rarely equipped and only for use in supporting fleet anti-submarine warfare operations.

Propulsion

The Rowe class vessels use the same propulsion systems and configuration as the Derrick class ASW destroyers with four Aequatian Automotive Industries Model 4000 Gasoline Turbine engines for propulsion set up to run in a COGAG configuration. Combined gas turbine and gas turbine (COGAG) is a type of propulsion system for ships using two gas turbines connected to a single propeller shaft. A gearbox and clutches allow either of the turbines to drive the shaft or both of them combined.

Using one or two gas turbines has the advantage of having two different power settings.

Reese Class Long-Range Patrol Light Cruiser

Image: Link (http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1003/reeseclglrpvr0.png)

Overview

Originally designed as general purpose guided-missile destroyers, the Mansel Reese class vessels underwent an extensive refit programme which then put forth the request of the Chief of Naval Operations on the Aequatian Republic Joint Chiefs of Staff to reclassify the vessel as a light cruiser.

Weapons Systems

The Reese class vessel is a general purpose, long-range patrol and power projection platform and is provided with one of the most vast and powerful arrays of weaponry available from the Aequatian Republic Navy's arsenal.

Anti-Submarine Warfare capabilities are provided by a pair of SH-96M "Sea Panther" Light Sea Control Helicopters (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13830268&postcount=591), which act in concert with shipboard sensors to seek out and destroy submarines at long distances from the ship. The ship has a helicopter deck fitted with a RAST system allowing the launch and recovery of helicopters in up to Sea State 6. Mounted in the forward Mark 43 Mod 9 Vertical Launch System, complete with 96 launch cells, are either the RUM-139G VL-ASROC mounting the Mark 72 61cm torpedo or the RGM-200C Tempest High-Speed Anti-Shipping Missile. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11128548&postcount=458) The forward VLS can also mount quad-packs of RIM-352B "Sea Flash" High to Medium Air Defence Missile (HIMAD) (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13273060&postcount=210) for extended-range air defence.

Surface attack roles are fulfilled by the ship's secondary Mark 43 Mod 9 Vertical Launch System, mounted fore of the helicopter hanger on the superstructure, which hold the potent RGM-172D Sea Pike stand-off missile (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13287235&postcount=215) in 32 ready-launch cells. For coastal bombardment or close-in surface action, The ship has a 140mm/54-calibre Mark 140 Mod 0 Dual Purpose lightweight gun. It is designed to be used against surface warships, for anti-aircraft use and shore bombardment to support amphibious operations. The gun mount features an automatic loader with a capacity of 20 rounds. These can be fired under full automatic control, taking a little over a minute to exhaust those rounds at maximum fire rate. For sustained use, the gun mount would be occupied (below deck) by a three-man crew (gun captain, panel operator, and ammunition loader) to keep the gun supplied with ammunition.

In local air defence the ships are armed with the RIM-352B "Sea Flash" HIMAD (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13273060&postcount=210) vertical launch surface-to-air missile quad-packs in two sets of port and starboard-side 24-cell launchers mounted midship and aft which are linked to the ship's fire control systems for a total of 384 missiles prepared for launch. There is also a Mark 118 Mod 6 launcher for the RIM-196C Sea Fire Rolling Airframe Missile, itself holding twenty weapons. Four Mark 8 Mod 0 "Lineman" 30mm close-in weapon systems (CIWS) are mounted aft of the helicopter landing pad, midship on port and starboard and forward of the superstructure for "last ditch" defense against targets that evade the Sea Flash and RIM-196C Sea Fire Rolling Airframe Missiles. The Mk.8 CIWS use the 30mm High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) rounds which improves the capability of air defense guns such to engage and destroy aerial targets, from large aircraft to small targets such as missiles or PGMs. The gun fires short, 24-round burst of high velocity HEAB rounds aimed at the target's intercept point. Every projectile is programmed by a muzzle based electromagnetic inductor, which sets an electronic timer to activate and separate the projectile into 154 Tungsten-carbide, spin-stabilized submunitions (3.5 grams each), forming a lethal cone shaped metal cloud, placed ahead of the target in its flight path.

Countermeasures

The ship's decoy system comprises four Mark 78 Sea Shield decoy launchers which fire chaff to 2 km and infrared rockets to 200 metres in distraction, confusion and centroid seduction modes. The torpedo decoy is the AN/SLQ-68(A) NIXIE V towed acoustic decoy. The ship's radar warning receiver, the SLQ-501, and the radar jammer, SLQ-505, were both developed by AEQ-EWS (Aequatian Electronic Warfare Systems).

Command and Control

As the Reese CLG will be called upon to operate independently of usual command networks such as carriers and command cruisers, it has a number of systems which provide the ship and its crew with a fully autonomous capability using the Aequatian Electronic Industries Admiral Command, Control, Communications (C3) Suite for ship control, the AN/USG-5 Cooperative Engagement Transmission Processing Set (COETPS), AN/SYQ-24 Tactical Automated Mission Planning System (TAMPS) and AN/USQ-120A Global Command and Control System (GCCS).

Sensors

The Reese class vessels mount the powerful SPY-510 passive electronically scanned array, and although it is a key component of the Aequatian Republic Navy's Fleet Defence Network, it is used by the Reese CLG for long-range surveillance purposes. The system is computer controlled, using four complementary antennas in order to provide full 360 degree coverage and operates on the S band frequency and has an effective detection range for low-flying targets up to 250 kilometres (135 nautical miles) and even farther for high altitude targets. Mounted atop the forward mast and is the SPG-513 Fire Control Radar operating on the K and I band frequencies for use with the RIM-304A Medusa missiles for their flight and terminal phases.

The ship also mounts the Three-Dimensional SPS-506 Air and Surface Search Radar on the aft mast using the "Sea Giraffe" Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) operating at the G and H band frequencies. Mounted atop the aft mast is the SPG-503 Fire Control Radar operating on the K and I band frequencies for use with the point defence weapons like the Lineman CIWS turrets and the RAM launchers.

Sonar suites include the Active SQS-510 Hull-mounted variable depth and the SQR-507 Passive towed array, although the latter is rarely equipped and only for use in supporting fleet anti-submarine warfare operations.

Propulsion

The Reese class vessels use a combined diesel and gas (CODAG) type of propulsion system using two Aequatian Automotive Industries Model 750 Diesel Engines and two Aequatian Automotive Industries Model 4000 Gasoline Turbines on two shafts.

It consists of diesel engines for cruising and gas turbines that can be switched on for high-speed transits. In most cases the difference of power output from diesel engines alone to diesel and turbine power combined is too large, that controllable pitch propellers can limit the rotations so that the diesels can continue to operate without changing the gear ratios of their transmissions. Because of that, special multi-speed gearboxes are needed. This contrasts to CODOG systems, which couple the diesels with a simple, fixed ratio gearboxes to the shaft and disengage them, when the turbine is switched on.

Such a propulsion system has a smaller footprint than a diesel-only power plant with the same maximal power output, since smaller engines can be used and the gas turbine and gearbox don't need that much additional space. Still it retains the high fuel efficiency of diesel engines when cruising, allowing greater range and lower fuel costs than with gas turbines alone. On the other hand, a more complex, heavy and troublesome gearing is needed.

AAI provided the Integrated Machinery Control System (IMCS) which adds a higher degree of computer control for the machinery plant.
