Department of the Imperial Cravanian Army
Protectors of Free Lands

The Imperial Army has taken notice of the release of the ILAW-90, and is now seeking procurement of the weapon as a replacement to its predecessors currently in Cravanian service, bringing their functions into one single unit. Thus, the rights to domestically produce the weapon via Sapinian Arms production plants is being requested, to be employed by the Imperial Army and Marines and domestically stockpiled.

I must, as per usual, thank you for your quality military hardware and cooperation with the Imperial Military to develop one of the world's foremost fighting forces. Without AMI's assistance our military would be lost in several regards.

Signed,

XG133 6.8mm/20mm Individual Combat Weapon System

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/G133-02.png

Overview

The development of the G133 ICWS was initiated as a separate venture for the Aequatian Republic Land Forces (Army) Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to test the use of a more-effective weapon systems for future infantry forces. The weapon consists of a kinetic-energy weapon system based on that of the 6.8x42mm G125 rifle currently in service, although this can be easily replaced with any other KE system, the larger 20x44mm AG134 semiautomatic, multipurpose grenade launcher and integration with the new "Selous" Advanced Weapon Sight (AWS).

Kinetic-Energy Weapon

The KE portion of the weapon consists of a slightly-modified variant of the G128 carbine with a 408mm barrel.

The KE weapon is a selective-fire, gas-operated assault rifle that uses ignited powder gases bled through a gas port above the barrel to provide the weapon’s automation. The rifle uses a short stroke gas piston system (the piston travels inside a gas tube located above the barrel) and a two-position adjustable gas regulator; the first gas setting is used for normal operation and the second is for use in difficult environmental conditions. The weapon uses a rotating cylindrical bolt that contains 7 radially-mounted locking lugs, an extractor and casing ejector. The bolt’s rotation is controlled via a cam pin that slides inside a camming guide machined into the bolt carrier.

The rifle is fed from a curved box magazine with a 30-round capacity. The magazine release lever is placed behind the magazine housing.

The KE weapon is equipped with a hammer striking mechanism and a trigger mechanism with a fire-control selector that enables semi-automatic fire and fully automatic fire (the fire selector lever is located at the right side of the receiver, on the top of the grip). A cross-bolt type safety that prevents accidental firing is located above the trigger; the “safe” setting disables the trigger. When the last cartridge is fired from the magazine the bolt and bolt carrier assembly lock to the rear.

The rifle features a barrel with a muzzle break that aids in the reduction of recoil from the new 6.8x42mm ARAM-I, which also serves as the base for mounting the weapon's K20B bayonet.

The rifle is built in a “bullpup” configuration, with a forward mounted pistol grip. The rifle was designed to be used exclusively by right-handed shooters since the ejection port and cocking handle (reciprocates during firing) are on the right side of the receiver.

Weight: 3.2kg
Length: 67.0cm
Barrel length: 408mm (16-inches)
Cartridge: 6.8x42mm ARAM-I (Aequatian Republic Arsenal Munition, Intermediate)
Action: Gas-operated, short-stroke piston, rotating bolt
Rate of Fire: 750 Rounds per Minute
Muzzle Velocity: 790m/s
Effective Range: 400m (Point target)
Feed System: 30-round, double-stack, detachable box magazine

Multipurpose Grenade Launcher

The 20x44mm AG134 Multipurpose Grenade Launcher (MPGL) provides the infantryman armed with the G133 system with an extremely capable weapon system which can engage and defeat a number of varied targets.

The weapon uses a roller-delayed blowback action, meaning that the barrel is fixed and does not recoil. As the bolt head is driven rearward, rollers on the sides of the bolt are driven inward against a tapered bolt carrier extension. This forces the bolt carrier rearward at a much greater velocity and slows movement of the bolt. The primary advantage of roller-delayed blowback is the simplicity of the design compared to gas or recoil operation.

20mm Ammunition

The G133 engineering team of Aequatian Military Industries have developed many types of 20mm ammunition over the course of the programme. The most common variants are:

M1800 "Standard" High-Explosive Armour Peircing (HEAP) Round comprise of the following components: Outer casing, propellant base, main charge, mass reactive detonator cap, Tungsten-carbide core and depleted Uranium tip.
M1801 "Hellfire" High-Explosive Incendiary (HEI) are designed to immolate their targets and destroy them with superheated chemical fire. The Tungsten-carbide core is replaced with an oxy-phosphorus gel, known as Promethium.
M1802 "Storm" High-Explosive Fragmentation (HE-FRAG) Rounds are best against multiple lightly-armoured targets. They detonate before impact and spray shrapnel, shredding their victims. A proximity detonator, linked to the LDRF installed on the Selous AWS, replaces the mass-reactive cap, and the dU tip and Tungsten-carbide core are replaced with an increased charge and fragmentation casing. They are similar to flak rounds and are used against clusters of enemies.
M1803 "Dragon" High-Velocity Penetrator (HV-P) Rounds are powerful armour-piercing rounds. The Tungsten-carbide core is replaced by a solid depleted Uranium core and uses a heavier main charge. Upon impact, the outer casing peels away and the high velocity dU submunition accelerates into the victim, where the larger detonator propels shards of super hardened metal further into the wound. These are effective against heavily-armoured infantry.
M1804 "Stalker" Silenced Rounds are rounds with low sound signatures, meant for covert fighting and used in conjunction with an extreme-range targeting system and an extended barrel and stock on an AG134 to produce a sniping weapon system. A solid Tungsten-carbide slug replaces the mass-reactive warhead for lethality at sub-sonic projectile speed. A gas cartridge also replaces both the propellant base and main charge for silent firing.

Weight: 4.8kg
Length: 81.0cm
Barrel length: 508mm (20-inches)
Cartridge: 20x44mm ARAM-SG (Aequatian Republic Arsenal Munition, Specialized Grenade)
Action: Roller-delayed, blowback
Rate of Fire: Semiautomatic
Muzzle Velocity: m/s
Effective Range: 400m (Point target); 600m (Area target)
Feed System: 10-round, double-stack, detachable box magazine

"Selous" Advanced Weapon Sight

The development of the advanced weapon system also provided the G133 Team with the opportunity to develop a much more advanced sighting system for use with the dual set of munitions available in both the KW weapon and the AG134.

The sight operates as a red dot/reflex-type sight in normal, daylight use, much in a similar fashion of normal red dot sights which use refractive or reflective optical collimators to generate a collimated image of a luminous or reflective reticle. This collimated image is reflected off a beam splitters to allow the viewer to see the field of view and a reflection of the projected reticle (the red dot) simultaneously. This gives the viewer an image of the reticle superimposed over the field of view at infinity theoreticaly with no parallax that is aligned with the weapon to which it is attached. Because the reticle image is collimated, magnifying the image of the target is impractical, as it would make the sight too hard to hold steady. The collimated image does have its advantages, however, as the scope can be placed at any distance from the eye without distorting the image of the target or reticle. This makes red dot sights suitable for use on pistols, submachine guns, rifles, or shotguns.

The most well-known feature of the Selous sight is that it will compensate for the parallax created when the shooter's head moves in relation to the sight. In other words, the dot will point close to the actual point of projected impact even when viewed at an angle. The lack of magnification is also an advantage in that both eyes can be left open, and the eye that sees the reticle image will automatically superimpose that image with the image from the other eye, giving the shooter normal depth perception and full field of view. This makes the red dot sight very fast and easy to use, especially in MOUT and CQB missions.

The night-time functions of the Selous AWS is its ability to zoom up to a magnification of 5.0x power and the use of both a light amplification module and an infrared thermal viewer.

The AWS can also be integrated into the JBATNET (Joint Battle-management Network) which is part of the future Joint Advanced Lightfighter Combat Systems (JALCS) and can provide the rifleman with the positions of not only friendly soldiers but also those of known enemy personnel, when datalinked to the JBATNET central hub.

M59A1 "Russ" Light Tank

Image Gallery

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/AFVs/M59A1Russ.png

Overview

The M59 "Russ" Light Tank is a tank destroyer and reconnaissance vehicle developed by Aequatian Military Industries and the Aequatian Republic Land Forces Advanced Research and Development Command. Designed to have both an air-droppable and amphibious capability, the M59 Russ serves to support Army airborne operations and divisional cavalry regiments in their roles. It currently replaces the M26 "Bobcat" Reconnaissance Vehicles in cavalry and the M24 "Valkyrie" Light Tanks in airborne services, respectively.

Armed with conventional ammunition for its 140mm main gun, it is also capable of firing the MGM-351 "Cheetah" anti-tank guided missile.

The tank's namesake belongs to that of General Lee Russ, former Commandant of the Land Forces Armour School and a strong supporter of air-mechanized operations.

Main Armament

The main armament of the M59 Russ is the 140mm PK11 (Panzerkannon, Model 11) Smoothbore Gun and is designed to fire both conventional rounds and the MGM-351 "Cheetah" kinetic-energy anti-tank missile. The gun is mounted in a turret with primary electrical traverse with a secondary manual traverse (both operated by the gunner) should there be a failure in the power redundancy system.

The gun is 168 centimetres long (a length of 12 calibres) and is constructed with Electro-Slag Refining (ESR) Triple-Hardened Steel (THS) which is lined with an inner coating of a Chromium-Cobalt Alloy that protects against ware and warping from heat produced in multiple firings. The PK11 gun has a considerable barrel life of almost 1,000 rounds before damage begins to affect long-range accuracy. Vibration is kept to a minimum with the use of counterweight dampeners mounted in the gun's housing along with the M98A3 Gyrostabilization Unit which allows for great accuracy in firing while on the move.

The 140mm PK11 main gun uses three types of ammunition in its standard issue stowage, these include the M556A1 High-Explosive Anti-Tank, Multipurpose (HEAT-MP), M900 High-Explosive, Squash Head (HESH) and M901 Canister round for anti-personnel action.

- The 140mm M556A1 High-Explosive, Anti-Tank round, originally designed for the Predator Mark.II Main Battle Tank, is a much improved variant using a tandem-warhead with the secondary shaped-charge using a DU liner and achieving up to 1,330mm of RHAe penetration.

- The M900 High-Explosive, Squash Head round is used for attacking hard targets such as bunkers, pillboxes or garrisoned buildings. The warhead contains Composition-4 plastic explosive.

- The M901 Canister round is used for pure anti-personnel duties and contains 1,200 Individual Passive Attack Munitions (IPAM) or flechettes manufactured from depleted Uranium for their density and pyrophoric properties when penetrating armour.

MGM-351 "Cheetah" Anti-Tank Guided-Missile

The MGM-351 "Cheetah" anti-tank missile was designed for use specifically with the PK11 main gun and the M59 light tank in order to provide the vehicle with a significant anti-tank capability compared to heavier, main battle tank cousins.

The MGM-351 uses a solid depleted Uranium Kinetic-Energy Penetrator (KEP) and sheer velocity to penetrate enemy armour. The missile is loaded into the breech like any other of the PK11 gun's rounds and is propelled from the gun using a "soft-launch" capability to prevent damage to the barrel. Upon exiting the barrel, the missile's solid-fuel rocket motor ignites and accelerates the missile to a velocity of almost 1,800 metres per second, allowing for an optimal penetration against a target, up to ranges of almost five kilometres.

The missile uses the tank's Laser Designator/Rangefinder for engaging targets with a SACLOS (Semi-Automatic Command, Line-of-Sight) guidance system.

Main Gun Sighting and Fire Control Systems

The gunner is provided with improved sights with the use of the Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sight, Mark X (THOGS X) which is integrated with the WillTell, Mark V/C Fire Control System and a Discrimination Carbon Dioxide Laser Designator/Rangefinder. The THOGS X 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 Designator/Rangefinder for the commander to designate targets for the gunner and can enter them into the WillTell, Mark V/C 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/C 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 Dynamics AEQ-MIL-9028D Databus and is fully integrated with other systems, including the Integrated Battlefield Control System (IBCS), 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 X (THOGS X) with Carbon Dioxide Laser Designator/Rangefinder.

Secondary Armament

There is a coaxially-mounted 12.7mm MG280 heavy machine gun that fires a heavy depleted Uranium round which has an effective range of up to 2,000m. A second 12.7m M2C1 heavy machine gun firing the same rounds is mounted on a stabilized M112 Remote Weapons Station which is controlled from the commander's station inside the turret. The secondary "Bailout" or Loader's hatch on the turret can also mount a cupola-mounted 8.5mm MG260B general-purpose machine gun, although it is not always equipped.

Armour Protection

In order to allow the vehicle to be air-deployable by low-altitude parachute extraction from the C-130Q Hercules and C-181A Starlifter II tactical and strategic airlifters, the combat load weight of the M59 light tank had to be reduced compared to other armoured vehicles while simultaneously providing the vehicle with protection against even medium threats.

The tank uses a composite consisting of Boron Carbide Ceramic Composite encased in Iron-Cobalt-Nickel alloy reinforced with Carbon, Chromium and Molybdenum which provides increased resistance to both AP automatic cannon rounds and lightweight HEAT rounds from shoulder-fired anti-tank weapons, similar to the armour suite on the M20 series tanks.

The vehicle is also supported with the Cravanian-designed C1220 20mm remote-mounted internally-loaded chain gun (500 rounds) coordinated with the Aequatian Electronics Dynamics "Ranger" Millimetre-wave Radar system for the detection of incoming rounds and defeating them before they strike the tank.

Engine and Transmission

The 50-Litre AEQ-V8-UF/SC Engine is a V-8 engine and has perfect primary and secondary balance and therefore needs no balance shafts. The engine, with two banks of six cylinders angled at 60° from each other, has even firing with power pulses delivered twice as often per revolution as, and is smoother than a more traditional engine because there is always positive net torque output. The engine is liquid-cooled and is fuel-injected with a 4-stroke internal combustion system. It develops almost 800 horsepower (596 kiloWatts) at 2,600 revolutions per minute and provides the vehicle with an impressive cross-country speed used in conjunction with its relatively low ground pressure. There is also an auxiliary power unit which would be used to power the tank when it is on silent watch mode or the main engine has been turned off.

MG260 8.5mm General-Purpose Machine Gun

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/MG260.png

The MG260 is an air-cooled and gas-operated machine gun firing from an open bolt. It chambers the 8.5x60mm ARAM-H cartridge and feeds from a disintegrating belt of metallic links. In most variants, it has an integrated folding bipod and can be mounted on a sustained-fire tripod and some fixed mounts.

The MG260 is considered effective up to 1,100 meters when firing at an area target and mounted on a tripod; up to 800 meters when firing at an area target using the integral bipod; up to 600 meters when firing at a point target; and up to 200 meters when firing at a moving point target. Aequatian Republic Marine Corps doctrine holds that the MG260 and other weapons in its class are capable of suppressive fire on area targets out to 1,500 meters if the gunner is sufficiently skilled.

The MG260 is a gas-operated, air-cooled, belt-fed, automatic machine gun that fires from the open-bolt position and is chambered for the 8.5mm ARAM-H cartridge. Ammunition is usually fed into the weapon from a 100-round disintegrating, metallic split-link belt. As with all such weapons, it can be fired from the shoulder, hip, or underarm position. However, to achieve the maximum effective range, it is recommended that a bipod-steadied position or a tripod-mounted position be used and fired in bursts of 3–5 rounds. The weapon is heavy and difficult to aim when firing without support, though the weight helps reduce the felt recoil. The straight-line layout allowed the operating rod and buffer to run directly back into the buttstock and reduce the overall length of the weapon. The large grip also allowed the weapon to be conveniently carried at the hip. The gun can be stripped using a minimum of tools, even a live round of ammunition.

M1282 "Bear" Small Unit Support Vehicle

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/AFVs/SUSV.png

The M1282 Bear SUSV was developed as a replacement for the extended-service Mk.III Marauder Arctic Terrain Personnel Carrier (ATPC). The M82 is a tracked articulated, all-terrain transport vehicle developed by Aequatian Automotive Industries for the Aequatian Republic Land Forces and Marine Corps. It consists of two units, with all four tracks powered. It can carry up to eighteen people plus personal equipment, although the trailer unit can be adapted for different applications.

The two sections of the vehicle are articulated, allowing it to keep contact with the ground over broken terrain. The ground pressure is low enough that the vehicle can traverse loose snow or boglands without sinking. The fiberglass body is even amphibious, and the vehicle is propelled in water by its tracks.

The Bear is designed to carry troops and equipment through snow and bog-lands in the regions of Aequatius Nord. For this, it is equipped with four wide (64 centimetre) powered rubber tracks. The low ground pressure enables the M82 to cope with a wide range of difficult conditions. It is also fully amphibious, with a speed in water of up to eight kilometres per hour when driven by its tracks. The total load capacity is 1,950 kilograms and a trailer with a weight of up to 2,500 kilograms can also be towed behind the second compartment.

M70B1 Offensive Concussion Grenade

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/M70B1-HCHE.png

The M70B1 offensive hand grenade is a concussion grenade designed to produce casualties during close combat while minimizing danger to friendly personnel. The grenade is also used for concussion effects in enclosed areas, for blasting, or for demolition tasks. The shock waves (overpressure) produced by this grenade when used in enclosed areas are greater than those produced by the fragmentation grenade. It is, therefore, very effective against enemy soldiers located in bunkers, buildings, and fortified areas.

M89 "Cerberus" Armoured Security Vehicle

OOC: Thanks and appreciation out to Russkya for the write-up and technical advice.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/AFVs/M89-2.png

The M89 Cerberus is intended to equip military police and light forces with a well protected, mobile vehicle for internal security and counterinsurgency operations. To complicate matters, the Cerberus needed to be highly deployable, with a maximum weight limit of a mere 5,800 kilograms. In order to provide the required protection, a modular armour scheme similar to the Puma ICV was developed.

A fairly conventional four-wheeled affair, the vehicle has a crew of three and carrying capacity sufficient for four passengers. The forward two crewmembers consist of the driver (seated on the left) and the vehicle commander (seated on the right). Both enter and exit the vehicle through side-sliding roof hatches, which enables them to open their hatch no matter where the primary ordnance is located. One design specification was to link the crew compartments and the passenger bay. In order to achieve this, the turret was offset to the left, behind the driver's station. The gunner is provided with a single roof mounted hatch which slides open to the right.

The skeletal turret basket enables him to duck down and exit the turret while remaining under-armour. Should he be wounded or killed, the gunner can also be removed from his station and replaced by a man in the passenger bay. In addition, this arrangement provides the gunner access to more ammunition for both turret weapons. Access to the passenger bay is through two side doors, one on each side of the vehicle. Both doors open to the front and are hydraulically assisted. This feature is easily disabled by a lever located above the hatchway, when pulled to the left (showing green) the system is active, when pulled to the right (showing red), the system is disabled.

The passengers are seated on two inwards-facing benches seating two each. These benches are aft of the side doors. If used in a medical evacuation role, the Cerberus is capable of carrying four litters inside the passenger compartment: One on each bench, one laid on the deck between the benches, one laid perpendicular to the benches between the two side doors. A medical attendant can be haphazardly seated in the space behind the vehicle commander's seat-back, the bulkhead, and the turret basket.

In order to facilitate the vehicle commander having access to the passenger bay, his seat is equipped with a lever on the right side. Once pulled, this lever will release the seat-back to fall flat against the deck. He can then scramble over this to gain access to the aft spaces.
In addition to the existing hatchways, two roof hatches are found over the passenger bay. These open outwards to the left and right, and the embarked personnel are able to quickly debus from the vehicle using them or provide topcover. To more safely enable "topcover" operations the hatches are fitted with a quick-release lock which prevents them from slamming closed unexpectedly.

Mobility is provided by AMW-V8TC-400 turbocharged multifuel V-line 8-cylinder engine generating 400bhp. This engine is located in the rear of the vehicle on a tray equipped with rails, fitted to the interior of the engine compartment. The reasoning behind this arrangement is that the engine tray can be extended once the hatch is open to facilitate routine maintenance and emergency repairs.

The AMW-V8TC-400 provides power to a transmission equipped with both differential locks and a high/low gearbox. Once the differential locks ("difflocks") are engaged, the transmission will provide all wheels with an equal level of grip, which translates to improved grip on the ground surface, improving mobility. The high/low gearbox is of standard semiautomatic design with six forward and two reverse. The "low" part of the gearbox is simply engaged by stopping the vehicle, sliding the gear lever into Neutral then to the Low segment, and carrying on as normal, noticing that you're getting nowheres fast. However, it provides substantially more power, enabling the vehicle to tow, traverse very rough terrain, or operate smoothly while overloaded.

A large degree of vertical axle articulation allows the Cerberus to maintain contact with the ground over rough terrain. Both fore and aft axles are articulated to the same degree, being allowed a total of 21cm of movement. The vehicle protection detailing of this dossier will provide more information on the axles. M89 is equipped with a Hydro-Pneumatic Vehicle Suspension, or HPVS. A third-generation system, the lightweight and compact cylinders are connected to one another on either side. The HPVS system monitors the soil underneath the vehicle, adjusting itself to maintain a stable ride at all times and alerting the driver as to potential "bog-downs." As the HPVS requires no cross-beams, and the cylinders prove to be surprisingly durable under operational conditions, both weight and maintenance requirements are reduced. With this form of suspension, it was possible to install an automatic roll stabiliser which prevents the vehicle from leaning into a corner, reducing wear on the tires and frame, thus again reducing service needs. Automatic crosswise levelling provides the gunner with a very stable platform, even while traversing rough areas.

Primary ordnance consists of the GMG-40E Automatic Grenade Launcher, firing 40x64mm ARAM-HG ammunition at a rate of three hundred and sixty rounds per minute. A coaxially fitted MG2C1 heavy machinegun (12.7x99mm BMG) supplements this. These weapons are located in the one man turret and are controlled by the gunner.
The vehicle's secondary weapon is controlled by the vehicle commander, who is provided with a ring and pintle mount around his hatchway. A notable feature of this is that the pintle mount can be disengaged to fold forward, lowering the fitted weapon (Generally a LMG or GPMG) outside the turret-mounted weapon's field of fire. When the pintle mount is locked in its "in use" position, an electrical safety prevents the gunner from firing the GMG-40E or MG2C1 over the one to two o'clock positions, protecting the vehicle commander and his weapon from accidental damage, wounding, destruction, or death.

Self-defence equipment is limited to eight 76mm M8 mortar dischargers, racked in rows of four on both sides of the turret. This enables the vehicle to quickly generate a smokescreen, and/or engage close-in soft targets across a wide arc.

The initial weight limitation of 5,800kg prevented the fitting of extensive protection from either KE or CE threats to the base vehicle. It was decided to provide all-around protection from 12.7x108mm AP fire, with a hardened forward arc (120-degrees) being protected from up to 15.5x115mm AP fire from all ranges. Four additional armour modules are available, providing all around protection.

Module I: Additional protection from CE threats in the form of MEXAS appliqué. Adds ~450mm RHAe v. CE. 2,500kg.
Module II: Additional protection from KE threats in the form of CAOA Mk. 1 armour. Adds ~175mm RHAe v. KE. 2,890kg.
Module III: Protection from both CE and KE threats, ICAOM Mk. 8. Adds ~235mm RHAe v. KE & ~415mm v. CE. 3,200kg.
Module IV: Protection from 30mm APDS from a minimum range of 1.0km and protection from 76mm HEAT. 3,900kg.

Mine protection involved installation of titanium alloy plating to provide additional underside protection to the baffled fuel tank, crew stations, passenger compartment, engine compartment, and turret basket floor. When a landmine of sufficient force (most antitank types) detonates under a wheel, the wheel flies clear of the vehicle. This prevents major related damage to the axle. Often, the wheels are filled with both water and air to help dissipate blast force, and are self-sealing, capable of sustaining twelve to fifteen (12-15) spaced impacts from 7.62x39mm FMJ ammunition. Should the wheels be punctured, the powerful emergency inflation system (EIS) of the R-16ISC and BRA "Marauder" is fitted, to enable the Cerberus to retain at least fifty percent of its original mobility. The armour's inward surfaces in the crew, passenger, engine, and fuel spaces are coated with a rubber, kevlar, ceramic mesh and synthetic spall liner.

NBCR protection is provided by a simple overpressure system integrated with the environmental controls (heater + air conditioner).

The gunner is provided with improved sights with the use of the Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sight, Mark X (THOGS X) which is integrated with the WillTell, Mark V/C Fire Control System and a Discrimination Carbon Dioxide Laser Designator/Rangefinder. The THOGS X 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 WillTell, Mark V/C 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 Dynamics AEQ-MIL-9028D Databus and is fully integrated with other systems, including the Integrated Battlefield Control System (IBCS), 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 X (THOGS X) with Carbon Dioxide Laser Designator/Rangefinder.

G142A1 6.8mm Select Fire Carbine

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/G142A1-carbine.png

Overview

The G142A1 is a selective fire rifle and features a gas-operated piston-driven rotating bolt action similar to the Kalashnikov series rifles and fires from a closed bolt. The gas valve has two positions, one for normal operation, another for use during adverse conditions. The bolt locking mechanism consists of two steel locking lugs that engage locking recesses in the breech and is identical to the G109A2 rifle which predates it. The rifle incorporates an ambidextrous safety and fire selector operated by the shooting hand that has four settings: "Zero" - Safe, "One" - single fire, "Two" - two-round burst and "Three" - fully automatic fire.

The firearm is fed by standard AMI 30-round lightweight box magazines. The magazines are molded from an opaque polymer and can be locked together with an attachment in order to facilitate quicker reloading. A bolt hold-open device locks the bolt carrier assembly open after expending the last cartridge from the magazine and is released by lifting the bolt catch lever located on the left side of the receiver.

The standard "iron" sights consist of a rear, rotating diopter drum and a hooded front sight post. The rear sight has an open sight marked "1" ranged for firing up to 100 metres. The "2", "3" and "4" correspond to the ranges up to 200, 300 and 400 metres and consist of a peephole. The 400 metre setting also has a removable peephole which can be fitted with an aperture for sportive shooting. The iron sights are adjustable with windage and elevation increments of 4.5 centimetres at 300 metres. For night use, a dedicated 100 metre notch setting in the rear sight drum is provided that contains two self-luminous tritium-powered night inserts mounted on each side of the notch and additionally in a flip-up post attached to the foresight.

The upper receiver can accept the Lazlo III quick-detachable rails and adapters used to mount optics such as the M22 Floating Dot Sight (Reflex-type) and M36 1.5x–5.5x Power Combat Optic Sight, the latter with an optional combined light amplification/infrared attachment for night operations.

G9A1 7.94mm Select Fire Rifle
OOC: Note, the G109A1 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 G109A1 weapons will retain them as such, from this point on, these weapons will be G9A1 rifles.

Note: This weapon is available for export sale.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/G9A1-SLR.png

Overview

Development work on an improvement for the original G9 rifle began in 1983 when AMI Corp. was approached by the Aequatian Republic Marine Corps to modernize the design, initially designated XG9E1, the rifle's design was changed considerably with the replacement of the original wooden furniture and carrying handle with a high-strength black polymer and the removal of the adjustable V-notch rear sight with flip-up, long-range aperture sight for a rotary diopter as far as external changes are concerned. The introduction of the Passive Night Observation AN/PVS-247 Individual Weapon Sight in 1986 led to the ARMC to adopt it for its rifles with an optional clamp bolted to the weapon's upper receiver, these were redesignated as G9A1E1 and saw limited issue with Marine Regiments.

The A1 weapon's action would also be changed, replacing the expensively-machined tilting bolt mechanism with a simpler gas-operated piston, allowing the XG9E1 to be simple, inexpensive to manufacture, and easy to clean and maintain. Its ruggedness and reliability are legendary. Hundreds of ARMC after action reports were studied, along with input from personnel with the Marine Commando Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre, the 15th Marine Regiment and the Desert Operations School, to redesign the XG9E1of operation and repair by Marine riflemen in all environmental conditions. The new large gas piston, generous clearances between moving parts, and now-tapered cartridge case design allowed the gun to endure large amounts of foreign matter and fouling without failing to cycle. This reliability comes at the cost of accuracy, as the looser tolerances do not allow the precision and consistency that are required of more accurate firearms. Despite this, Aequatian Marine riflemen were still trained and capable of accurate fire out to 300 metres and aimed fire against point targets to 400 metres.

The bore and chamber, as well as the gas piston and the interior of the gas cylinder, are generally chromium-plated as this plating dramatically increases the life of these parts by resisting corrosion and wear. This was particularly important, as most Aequatian military-production ammunition during the 20th century contained corrosive mercuric salts in the primers, which mandated frequent and thorough cleaning in order to prevent damage. The average service life of an XG9E1 is twenty to forty years depending on the conditions to which it has been exposed.

One major factor in terms of reliability lies in the design of the A1 Model's new magazine feed. The top of the steel magazines is machined from a single steel billet, making it practically impossible to damage the feed lips causing jams or misfeeds. This attention to detail reflects the A1's combat-established design; as in combat, equipment suffers from hard use and gets damaged constantly. The standard "Rifle" Magazines hold twenty rounds of 7.94x56mm ARAM-M cartridges, although it can also accept the "LAR" 30-round magazines. Officially adopted in 1984, the XG9E1 was redesignated as the G9A1, 7.94mm Self Loading Rifle and retained its fire mode groups of Safe and Semiautomatic.

A-127A "Marauder" Ground Attack Aircraft

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/A-127A.png

Overview

Words go here.

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 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 Marauder 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.

Man, I've been posting a lot lately (mainly here).

Anyways, I was wondering if it would be possible to commission an upgrade package for the G65S Rifle (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11568930&postcount=564), mainly to improve the effective range, which is lagging behind some of your newer designs, and I know I could just buy DPRs for one of those, but I happen to love the look of the G65S, which is one of the best of the G-series.

The EP-191B Aurora 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 and Navy.

The AN/APY-33 suite dome mounted on the EP-191B 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.

Your submarines have undergone several trial runs and exercises and have been proven to be very effective. Therefore, we would like to purchase;

24 Phantom Class Hydrogen-Cell Hunter-Killer Submarines
14 Ocean II Class Guided-Missile Fleet Submarine (SSN)
20 Espandor Class Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSBN)

OOC: What is the range and loiter time on the P-191A Arcturus?

The only way to possibly increase the range would be to lengthen the barrel if you wanted to keep the cartridge.

How much barrel lenght do you estimate should be added to the rifle?

Our nation would like to purchase the DPR to the following items:

BGM-338A "Hydra" Ground-Launched Cruise Missile

"Gemini" Air Defence System

And we would also like to purchase the following items:

2 Enterprise (CVN-191) Class Fleet Carriers

2 Inflexible (CVN-237) Class Attack Carriers

Money will be wired to you upon business acceptance.

Official Communiqué

Dear sir,

We would like to procure production rights for the MP140 submachine gun and adopt it as the new standard issue weapon for the National Police Force and the SiPol (Cottish: Sikkerhetspoliti; English: 'Security Police').

Additionally, we wish to procure a number of your M89 "Cerberus" Armoured Security Vehicles for the same law enforcement organizations. We are not entirely sure exactly how many we need at the moment, but we will place an initial order for five hundred (500) vehicles, with an option to procure an additional five thousand (5 000). We'd like for the vehicles to be painted charcoal gray, as we wish to add the required markings when the vehicles have arrived in Cotland.

The cost of [insert correct sum] Aequatian Markes will be wired to your accounts upon confirmation of this order. We thank you for your co-operation in assisting us in this manner, and hope to return to the Aequatian Military Industries soon.

A-195A "Rhino" Ground Attack Aircraft

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/A-195A-2.png

Overview

The Aequatian strike aircraft in service or under development at this time (A-127A Marauder) did not meet the requirements for close air support of the Aequatian Republic Land Forces. It lacked essential armour plating to protect the pilot and vital equipment from ground fire and missile hits, and its high flight speeds made it difficult for the pilot to maintain visual contact with a target. These problems outlined the requirements for the new CAS-X Project for AAI.

EP-191E "Apollo" Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/EP-191E.png

Overview

The EP-191E Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) is an Aequatian Republic Air Force 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. These functions support the primary mission of Joint STARS - to provide dedicated support of ground and air theater commanders.

The EP-191E is a modified Navy P-191A 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-27 phased array antenna.

The EP-191E 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 aircraft can fly a mission profile for 12 hours without refueling. Its range and on-station time can be substantially increased through in-flight refueling, although it can ferry a total 12,500km before requiring refueling.

M20A4 "Mackall" Main Battle Tank

Image Gallery

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/AFVs/M20A4_Mackall_Chieftain.png

Overview

The Aequatian M20A4 Mackall main battle tank is the latest standardization effort in updating the original design of the Republic's most successful tank design to date. The A4 Model of the Mackall tank is the most advanced and capable in the long line of armoured fighting vehicles and represents the best Aequatio has to offer.

Main Armament

The primary armament of the M20A4 is the 125mm PK3A3 (Panzerkannon, Model 3, Mark 3) smoothbore gun, an update of the PK3A1 gun mounted on the previous M20A2A1 variant. The gun is mounted in a turret with primary electrical traverse with a secondary manual traverse (both operated by the gunner) should there be a failure in the power redundancy system.

The gun is 688 centimetres long (a length of 55 calibres) and provides the weapon with incredible accuracy and a maximum engagement range of almost 4,000 metres when stationary using kinetic-energy munitions such as the M824A1 APFSDS-T round. The gun is constructed with Electro-Slag Refining (ESR) Bisplate Steel which is lined with an inner coating of Chromium-Cobalt Alloy that protects against ware and warping from heat produced in multiple firings. The PK3A3 gun has a considerable barrel life of almost 1,200 rounds before damage begins to affect long-range accuracy. Vibration is kept to a minimum with the use of counterweight dampeners mounted in the gun's housing along with the venerable M98A1 Gyrostabilization Unit which allows for great accuracy in firing while on the move, with an effective range of up to 1,500 metres.

The primary anti-tank round used by the PK3A3 is the M825A1 Armoured-Piercing, Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot and Tracer round. The M825A1 has a ballistic cap and five tail fins made of aluminum; it also has a long aluminum sabot, which holds the sub-caliber round in place in the barrel, that breaks off into five "petals" as the round leaves the gun tube. The penetrator has a 1,840m/s velocity and an 8.75kg dU penetrator (35mm diameter, 980mm length) with Chromium coating and 9.5kg of Nitrochemie propellant. Generates 6,090 bars of chamber pressure and will penetrate about 1,030mm of RHAe.

Secondary anti-tank rounds include the M860, 125mm Stand-off, Top-Attack, Fire-and-Forget (STAFF) which has a downward-facing LIDAR suite for proximity detonation above its target with a forward-angled 120mm shaped-charge warhead with a depleted Uranium liner. The round has a penetration of up to 960mm of RHAe.

The Mackall is also armed with an effective anti-personnel round in the form of the M350A1 Anti-Personnel Canister round which contains up to 1,000 Tungsten Carbide flechettes that are capable of defeating any infantry body armour and light vehicles.

Main Gun Sighting and Fire Control Systems

The gunner is provided with improved sights with the use of the Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sight, Mark X (THOGS X) which is integrated with the WillTell, Mark V/C Fire Control System and a Discrimination Carbon Dioxide Laser Designator/Rangefinder. The THOGS X uses a stabilized 12x Power Day Sight with optional thermal viewer suite and with positive target identification up to ranges of 10,000 metres. 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 Designator/Rangefinder for the commander to designate targets for the gunner and can enter them into the WillTell, Mark V/C 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/C 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 Dynamics AEQ-MIL-9028D Databus and is fully integrated with other systems, including the Integrated Battlefield Control System (IBCS), 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 X (THOGS X) with Carbon Dioxide Laser Designator/Rangefinder.

Secondary Armament

The M20A4 Mackall mounts a 12.7mm MG2C1 heavy machinegun coaxially to the main PK3A3 gun for use against infantry and lightly protected vehicles, it fires with a 1:4 M73 tracer/M94A1 Tungsten Carbide core ball round belt setup. In addition to the coaxial machine gun, there are two cupola pintle mountings for a number of weapons, including the MG130 LMG, MG146 LMG, MG260E1 GPMG, MG2C1 HMG and the GMG-40E automatic grenade launcher.

The vehicle is also supported with the Cravanian-designed C1220 20mm remote-mounted internally-loaded chain gun (500 rounds) coordinated with the Aequatian Electronics Dynamics "Ranger" Millimetre-wave Radar system for the detection of incoming rounds and defeating them before they strike the tank.

Armour Protection

The focus of the M20 Mackall is on maneuverability and firepower, however, armour protection has not been ignored as the vehicle outline requires that the vehicle be protected enough to survive against enemy munitions, failing that, it will protect the crew enough to provide them with the ability to escape their vehicle should it be disabled.

The armour suite used in the M20A4 Mackall consists of a layered composite system which will provide protection against both kinetic-energy penetrators and shaped-charge warheads. the exterior layer of the vehicle uses the Aequatian-developed Helm Mark.I Exterior Reactive Armour which decrease the effectiveness of enemy HEAT rounds including both traditional shaped-charge warheads and explosively-shaped penetrators. The outer plate covers a layer of high-explosive material which on attack by a penetrating weapon, the explosive detonates, forcibly driving the metal plates apart to damage the penetrator. Against a shaped charge, the projected plates disrupt the metallic jet penetrator, effectively providing a greater path-length of material to be penetrated. Against a long rod penetrator, the projected plates serve to deflect and break up the rod. Underneath the layer of high-explosive, there is a second layer consisting of two metal plates sandwiching an inert liner of Boron Nitride Composite. When struck by a shaped charge's metal jet (which has already been weakened by the outer explosive layer) or a secondary tandem warhead, some of the impact energy is dissipated into the inert liner layer, and the resulting high pressure causes a localized bending or bulging of the plates in the area of the impact. As the plates bulge, the point of jet impact shifts with the plate bulging, increasing the effective thickness of the armour. This is almost the same mechanism as the second mechanism that explosive reactive armour uses, but it uses energy from the shaped charge jet rather than an explosive.

The first (outer) layer consists of hexagonal plates of 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 Homogenous 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 comprimised.

The second layer consists of three levels of Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt alloy rods positioned in a hexagonal matrix which provides protection against kinetic-energy penetrator (KEP) munitions by disrupting their path through the armour, greatly reducing its penetration power. Behind this matrix is Boron Carbide Ceramic Composite encased in Iron-Cobalt-Nickel alloy reinforced with Carbon, Chromium and Molybdenum which provides increased resistance to both KEP and HEAT rounds.

The first of the inner protective layers consist of 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 provdes an Anti-Spall Protective Layer for interior crew and systems protection should a round be successful in penetrating the outer armoured layers.

In addition to the tank's standard armour scheme, the A4 variant includes the uprated protection provided by the Attica Armour Suite which includes the addition of Silicon carbide composite appliqué armour to hull sides and turret front and explosive reactive armour plates on the lower front hull and glacis plate.

Engine and Transmission

The Aequatian Republic Army and Marine Corps have long relied on Quasiturbine engines for their respective armoured fighting vehicles, however, the use of the engine has proved to no longer be cost-effective, especially when it concerns maintainance of the vehicle. Ironically, the Quasiturbine design was adopted to reduce costs in maintainance. It was decided to return to the traditional use of reciprocating biodiesel engines with an improved model of the engine used in the Predator II Main Battle Tank, Mark V.

The 61-Litre AEQ-V24-UF Engine is a V-12 engine and has perfect primary and secondary balance and therefore needs no balance shafts. The engine, with two banks of six cylinders angled at 60° from each other, has even firing with power pulses delivered twice as often per revolution as, and is smoother than a more traditional engine because there is always positive net torque output. The engine is liquid-cooled and is fuel-injected with a 4-stroke internal combustion system. It develops almost 2,400 horsepower (1,790 kiloWatts) at 2,600 revolutions per minute and provides the vehicle with an impressive cross-country speed used in conjuction with its relatively low ground pressure.

Although the Armed Forces of Labhekistan have been in the process of developing their own indiginous main battle tank for the greater part of a decade, overrunning budgets and technological obstalces have made it a more effective solution to procure another main battle tank externally. With Labhekistan's recent acceptance into NATO, the issue of commonality in technology has also been at the forefront.

Thus, our Armed Forces Department of Foreign Procurement (Army) is pleased to announce its wish to procure the domestic production rights to the new M20A4 version of the venerable Mackall main battle tank. This vehicle, to be dubbed the M20LA5, will have the following modificiations:

xxxxxx 135mm LDI/Vostok-1335D main gun
xxxxxx 14.5x114mm LDI-77 coaxial machine gun
xxxxxx New Longbow II turret and autoloader
xxxxxx Indiginous Labhekistani communications and electronics suite

We hope that the new M20LA5 will prove to be an effective addition to our Armed Forces.

(Some wack BS happened with my computer now all my files that had my equipment purchases on it were erased, so consider all of my former purchases void, but still keep the profits)

To Aequation Military industries
From John Brokquent, Minister of Defence

In the modern age it is near impossible for a nation to openly display its socialism without being invaded by those who despise sovern nations and their ideological choices, with that in mind Nilpnt believes that most weapons used by the military should be produced domestically, to stop both the enemies ability to cut off Nilpnt from arms deliveries and to save the arms dealer the trouble of their transport craft being destroyed and thus profits lost. The High President of Nilpnt sees the problems that could arise by buying so much DPR's, such as Nilpnt producing and selling Aequatian arms, but promises that this form of coporate action will never occur, coporate theft is not the nature of our socialism, we simply desire the ability to protect ourself when it would be impossible otherwise, we hope you see the reason we desire all of the DPR's and hope you shall allow us the option of producing our own defence.

We desire the following equipment for the Nilpntze military

DPR for the G122k 6.8mm Commando Carbine
100 million R9D with the Scope, Laser Sight, Tac-Light, 40mm GL and 100-Rd Drum

(Some wack BS happened with my computer now all my files that had my equipment purchases on it were erased, so consider all of my former purchases void, but still keep the profits)

To Aequation Military industries
From John Brokquent, Minister of Defence

In the modern age it is near impossible for a nation to openly display its socialism without being invaded by those who despise sovern nations and their ideological choices, with that in mind Nilpnt believes that most weapons used by the military should be produced domestically, to stop both the enemies ability to cut off Nilpnt from arms deliveries and to save the arms dealer the trouble of their transport craft being destroyed and thus profits lost. The High President of Nilpnt sees the problems that could arise by buying so much DPR's, such as Nilpnt producing and selling Aequatian arms, but promises that this form of coporate action will never occur, coporate theft is not the nature of our socialism, we simply desire the ability to protect ourself when it would be impossible otherwise, we hope you see the reason we desire all of the DPR's and hope you shall allow us the option of producing our own defence.

Advocate Class Patrol Submarine

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Ships/SSK-X.png

Overview

The Advocate class patrol submarine was designed as a replacement for the previous Phantom class boats in the role of littoral and territorial waters defence patrols against both nuclear attack and ballistic missile submarines.

The boats were designed and built for the Aequatian Republic Navy. They are essentially identical to the Valour class nuclear attack submarines (with the distinctive Albacore-derived teardrop hull and sonar-absorbing tiles) but run on diesel engines instead of nuclear reactors which limits their range, but conversely makes them quieter and more manoeuvrable.

The boats were designed with advanced noise-attenuation features to reduce the radiated noise levels below those of the already very quiet Avenger-class. There was also a reduction in the short time required to recharge the batteries to ensure a minimum exposure time of any part of the masts above the water. The design included an updated version of the fire-control system being installed on the SSNs under construction at the same time, designed to reduce stability problems at torpedo launch, a state-of-the-art passive sonar system, a towed array, and a passive ranging set.

A large double-armature motor was powered by a 9000-ampere-hour battery or a pair of diesel engines. Slow patrolling would require only 30 to 60 minutes of snorkling per day; an eight knot (15 km/h) transit would require snorkling some 30% of the time. Top speed matched any comparable SSK class and could be sustained for some 90 minutes.

A local area network was built into the Advocates, supporting most of the sensors and fire-control systems, including remote viewing through the periscopes using both low-light television and infrared, an unmanned helm, and direct control of the main motor from the conn. The boat could fight with a team of four in the sonar room and a conn team of eight. Fire-suppression in unmanned compartments could be initiated remotely, and watch-keeping logs were automatically recorded. In port, the boats could be electronically linked such that one duty watchstander could monitor several submarines.

The submarine has a single skin hull constructed of high-tensile, paramagnetic steel. The outer side of the hull, casing, and fin, of the submarine is fitted with about 22,000 elastomeric acoustic tiles to reduce the submarine's acoustic signature significantly in order to better defeat enemy Magnetic Anomaly Detectors. The hull is a classical teardrop shape design, 70.3 metres in length by 7.6 metres in width and with a depth of hull of 5.5 metres. The fin or main sail houses a five-man lockout chamber. The submarine's escape and rescue system has been extensively upgraded with additional stowage space for escape stores and an underwater telephone to meet the Aequatian Republic Navy requirements. The hull displacement is 2,168 metric tons surfaced and 2,455 metric tons dived.

The submarine is highly automated to reduce manning and accommodates a crew of 48 including seven officers. There is room for an additional five mission crew, observers or training crew.

AIM-360A "Star Blade" Advanced Close Engagement Air-to-Air Missile

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/AIM-359.png

Overview

The development of the Star Blade ACEAAM was started when the Aequatian Republic Air Force Tactical Air Command and Aequatian Republic Navy Fleet Aviation Command re-evaluated the effectiveness of the AIM-196B Starfire AQMAAM as part of the Joint Air Combat Evaluation Programme (JACEP). The results of the combined unit's exercises showed both air services the capability gap that existed in comparison to competing designs such as the Tyrandis Precision Machine Import/Export Corporation's Block II ATAIM-8 "TASOGARE" (Nightfall) Advanced Tactical Air Intercept Munition or the Questarian G-79 Short Range Imagining Infrared Air-to-Air Missile.

The AIM-196B (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12802814&postcount=30), while still a capable missile, was proved to have difficulty in maintaining signature locks on enemy aircraft due to a poor, high-G performance rating. The missile would lose the lock on the target's infrared signature when it failed to keep up with sharp and abrupt evasive maneuvers of advanced fighter models. The main conclusion in the JACEP's evaluation called for a dogfight missile to be capable of nearly 100G maneuvers, compared to the Starfire's maximum capability of 80Gs. In order to allow for increased maneuverability, the engineers for the Aequatian Aerospace Industries' Missile Division designed the weapon with a lighter aluminum composite and two sets of forward canards and a trapezoid-shaped rear fins with improved control surfaces. Test firings done with the prototype weapons led to an average maximum G-force capability of up to 97.5Gs, including a percentage of tests with the missile pushing above 100Gs.

The AIM-360A uses a refined version of the guidance suite installed on the AIM-196B, which uses a combined Imaging Infrared/Ultraviolet dual-band Focal Plane Array (FPA) which, unlike previous IR-guided weapons, sees an image of the target instead of represented by dots, allowing for better designation between targets and decoys. Using this technology allows the luxury of locking on a target after the launch. Using an electro-optical head seeker also makes it easier to locate and lock on low-heat signature aircrafts such as unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters or even cruise missiles. These low-altitude targets can be very hard to detect using regular head seekers. The AIM-360A with the electro-optical head can easily accomplish that, by creating a sharp target image and locking on it. In order to achieve perfect performance and tracking ability, the engineers at Aequatian Optronics Incorporated tested the missile against a number of common, advanced countermeasures from around the world, including systems still in development within the company's research and development department.

The unique head-seeker also extends the lethality of the missile by aiming it to the target's most vulnerable areas. Most heat seeking missiles tend to home on the hottest spot of the aircraft which is normally the rear exhaust system. However, some aircraft that were hit by a missile in that area have been known to manage to survive long enough for the enemy pilot to eject, or in some cases, survive the remainder of the flight until landing. The Star Blade, which acquires a sharp image of the target can home on the most critical areas of the aircraft, such as the cockpit or the central area, and significantly improve the chances for a catastrophic hit and kill.

Another key element of the advanced Star Blade is its computer system. In order to support its sophisticated head-seeker, the design engineers had to fit a great amount of processing power into the missile. In fact, the computer of the AIM-360A requires a hundred times more computing power than the one installed in the AIM-196B Starfire. One of the fears of the designers was of having the systems overheating, which could lead to complete weapon failure in combat situations. In order to maintain the temperatures low, the algorithms were simplified so that the calculations would be easier to perform.

MIM-360C "Star Hunter" Short Range Air Defence Missile

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/MIM-360C.png

Overview

The MIM-360C Star Hunter missile, developed from the AIM-360A Star Blade air-to-air missile, was developed for the Aequatian Republic Land Forces Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) as a short-range air defence system for use at the forward edge of the battle area for defence against fixed and rotary wing close air support aircraft.

The missile is fired from a separate launcher, either towed or on an armoured, tracked vehicle and is completely autonomous, but can be datalinked with mobile, ground-based air-search radar suites or airborne early warning and control aircraft.

Overview

The MIM-360D Star Sabre was developed for the M51 "Sabre" Air Defence Vehicle and is similar to the MIM-360C Star Hunter SHORAD missiles with the exception of a datalink for an optional semi-active radar guidance mode for engaging point targets such as fast attack aircraft or low-flying missiles.

AIM-359A "Star Thrasher" Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/AIM-359-1.png

Overview

The AIM-359A Star Thrasher AMRAAM was developed after careful evaluation performed by the ARAF and ARN Joint Air Combat Evaluation Programme (JACEP) of the Illiorian AIM-133A Star Seeker AMRAAM. The conclusions reached by the JACEP pilots and tactical personnel pointed to the requirement for a new medium range air intercept missile after viewing the capabilities of the Block II ATAIM-9 "RAKURAI" (Thunderbolt) Advanced Tactical Air Intercept Munition developed by the Tyrandis Precision Machine Import/Export Corporation in exercises and trial firings.

The Missile Division's Development Team, headed by Kelly Holden, at Aequatian Aerospace Industries went to work quickly on designing a missile more capable than the previous AIM-133A and looked to other designs around the world as examples, including a number of Block II ATAIM-9 weapons at their disposal from the Aequatian Republic Air Force's Tactical Air Command. Work on the Star Thrasher began in earnest and was considered quite significant and secret, since it represented Aequatio's first fully-capable, multi-purpose missile for both tactical and strategic aircraft for fire-and-forget employment against everything from hovering helicopters to high speed, low altitude aircraft or cruise missiles. Holden, along with a number of her colleagues, have commented that the AIM-359A missile can even be used against medium and long range air-to-air missiles such as the Questarian G-48 Super Beyond-Visual Range Missile or Tyrandis Precision Machine Import/Export Corporation's Block II ATAIM-9 "RAKURAI" (Thunderbolt) or ATAIM-10 "HANABI" (Fireworks) Advanced Tactical Air Intercept Munitions in addition to a number of surface-to-air missiles like the Questarian Sea Sabre SA.38E.

Design

The missile combines vestigial cruciform wings and tail fins designed with control principles intended to allow high turn rates while maintaining intake and propulsion performance for completing maneuvers at high angles of attack against targets.

Taking the same ramjet system from the AIM-133A Star Seeker (http://z7.invisionfree.com/Illiorian_Arms/index.php?showtopic=65), the AIM-359A is provided with an efficient and effective propulsion. The missile is equipped with a single-stage, solid-state rocket booster for use on launch from the aircraft to bring the missile to speed and activate the pair of ducted ramjets for sustained flight towards the target for up to fifty kilometres. Once the booster's motor has expended its fuel, it detaches from the missile and the ramjets are activated for the remainder of the flight by opening the forward intake ducts with blow-out panels, allowing for maintaining a high degree of aerodynamic maneuverability, as the liquid-fueled motors ignite and take the missile to its effective engagement range of approximately 180 kilometres.

Guidance System

The AIM-359A uses a similar guidance system and doctrine as the MIM-352A "Star Flash" Joint High to Medium Air Defence Missile (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13273060&postcount=210) for an effective beyond visual range air-to-air missile. Datalinked to the launching aircraft's radar suite

Interception course stage

The Star Thrasher uses a two-stage guidance when fired at long range. The firing aircraft 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 aircraft's radar, although it could come from a passive infra-red search and tracking system (IRST), from a data link from another fighter aircraft, or from an airborne early warning and control aircraft.

If the firing aircraft or another 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 to about forty kilometres of the target, it turns on its active radar seeker and searches for the target aircraft using its active phased array radar suite. If the target is in or near the expected location, the missile will find it and guide itself to the target from this point using either its active scanning or passive "home-on-jam" controlled by the weapon's digital Machine Spirit system. However, if the missile is fired at short range (re: visual range), it can use its active seeker just after launch, making the missile truly fire-and-forget and depending on the aircraft, capable of a salvo launch of up to four missiles at once.

A redundancy seeker is also present in the form of a gimbaled imaging infrared/ultraviolet dual-band focal plane array, identical to that equipping the AIM-360A and allows for defeating both radar and standard infrared countermeasures systems.

Kill probability and tactics

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.

Enhanced Directed Munition (EnDM)

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/GBU-27.png
EnDM-9

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/GBU-28.png
EnDM-10

Overview

Nicknamed "End 'Em" by Aequatian Republic Air Force pilots, the Enhanced Directed Munition offers strike forces a capable laser-guided bomb (LGB) for use in day and night operations against fixed positions, troop concentrations and hardened bunkers. The EnDM weapons were developed for use at low altitudes, since low-level attacks are mandatory in the presence of capable air-defense systems, and high altitude strike missions.

The EnDM GCU (Guidance and Control Unit) has a microprocessor-based autopilot, which implements proportional control in place of the cruder "bang-bang" (either full deflection of control surfaces or none at all) autopilot of earlier Directed Munition family. This provides for a much smoother and therefore more efficient flight path. Furthermore, the scanning laser seeker has a larger field of view, and the tailfins have been enlarged for higher maneuverability and aerodynamic efficiency. The improvements enable a EnDM LGB to maintain level flight at low altitude for effective ranges of more than 30 kilometres (16 nautical miles). Other delivery options include high-altitude drops (with a range of about 46 kilometres (26 nautical miles) from 10,000 metres altitude) or long-range low-altitude launches using a lofted trajectory.

In optimum conditions, an EnDM LGB can have an accuracy of 100 centimetres circular error probability. Traditionally, laser guidance doesn't work very well in bad weather, and when the illuminating laser was switched off for any reason, guidance is completely lost. To overcome these shortcomings, the development of a GPS-aided inertial add-on package for EnDM GCUs was requested and once trialled, GPS/INS-enabled EnDM LGBs became available for operational service. The general homing method of EnDMs is to use the GPS/INS unit for mid-course guidance (giving the control logic a whole new set of options for optimum flight paths, and greatly expanding the delivery envelope) and the laser seeker for terminal homing. Should laser designation and/or GPS reception fail, the accuracy is degraded but not completely lost.

The primary EnDM LGB in use with the Aequatian air services is the EnDM-9 General Purpose Weapon (GPW) while the heavier EnDM-10 Deep-Earth Penetrator (DEP) is used for defeating hardened bunker positions.

Guided Tactical Munitions Dispenser (GTMD) Surface Attack System

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/CBU-87.png
GTMD-5

Overview

The Guided Tactical Munitions Dispenser (GTMD) family of cluster bombs was developed to fulfill a number of roles previously undertaken by different weapons. The system consists of a guidance package attached to a modular dispensing unit for different submunition types ranging from combined effects anti-personnel and materiel to infrastructure attack to chemical agents.

The guidance package incorporates an inertial navigation system (INS), and has flip-out control fins to steer the bomb. The aircraft's GPS datalink is used to update the GTMD's inertial navigation system immediately before release, and the resulting accuracy of about 26 metres circular error probability is good enough for cluster bombs. After release, the weapon's guidance corrects for launch errors and winds aloft, and computes the optimum flight path and submunition release point. When dropped from 12,200 metres, a GTMD guided cluster bomb has a stand-off range of about 24 kilometres (13 nautical miles). The GTMD-5 is fused with a proximity sensor linked to the weapon's guidance package which has twelve time selections which tell when the bomb is to be dispensed and throw out the sub munitions. When the bomb opens up while falling, it breaks into three pieces to release the submunitions.

Miniaturized Precision Attack Weapon, Blocks I and II

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/AGM-364.png
MPAW-I/II

Overview

The Miniaturized Precision Attack Weapon (MPAW) is a 110 kilogram-rated guided bomb that is intended to provide aircraft with the ability to carry a higher number of munitions for a strike. Its design provides the weapon with an extended stand-off range of up to 112 kilometres (60 nautical miles).

The Block I version of the weapon (MPAW-I) is equipped with a GPS-aided inertial navigation system which makes it ideal for fixed/stationary targets such as fuel depots, bunkers and radar sites. The second Block II variant (MPAW-II) includes a thermal seeker with automatic target recognition features which makes it ideal for striking mobile targets such as tanks, vehicles, and mobile command posts.

The MPAW-I has a circular error probability of only five to eight meters, which should minimize collateral damage. This is reduced by updating differential GPS offsets prior to weapon release, which are calculated using an Accuracy Support Infrastructure, consisting of three or more GPS receivers at fixed locations transmitting calculated location to a correlation station at the theatre Air Operations Center. The corrections are then transmitted by datalink to MPAW-equipped aircraft.

BGM-365A "Gremlin" Anti-Tank Guided Missile

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Missiles/TOW-rip.png

The BGM-365A Gremlin anti-tank missile was designed as an improved replacement of the BGM-225 "Goblin" Anti-Tank Guided Missile (http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom/index.php?showtopic=2893&hl=) using a new guidance package and extending maneuvering fins. In place of the original optical tracking and wire guidance package, the missile uses an advanced imaging infrared/ultraviolet dual-band seeker head for use against any armoured vehicles.

Using a modified version of the BGM-225A Goblin's M117A2 man-portable, tube launcher tripod, the M117A3, which allows for both direct and top attack modes to be used. In place of the M117A2 launcher's original Command Launch Unit, the BGM-365A is integrated with the same unit from the FGM-330A "Halberd" ATGM launcher which provides battlefield surveillance and target acquisition capabilities. The "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 and converts the IR/UV light into an image for the gunner to use for target acquisition before launching the missile.

The missile is ejected from the launcher so that it reaches a safe distance from the operator before the main rocket motors ignite; a "soft launch arrangement." This makes it harder to identify the launcher and allows it to be fired from within buildings; however, back-blast from the launch tube still poses a hazard to nearby personnel. Thanks to this "fire and forget" system, the firing team may move on as soon as the missile has been launched. The missile reaches a peak altitude of 150 metres in top attack mode and 50 metres in direct fire mode, the latter can be used to engage low-flying helicopters.

C-197A "Courier" Light Tactical Airlifter

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/C-197A.png

Overview

The C-197A Courier was designed by Aequatian Aerospace Industries' Large Aircraft Division after requirements were set out by a joint memorandum by both the Aequatian Republic Army Special Operations Command (ARSOC) and Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) for a short takeoff and landing (STOL) airlifter for use by special operations forces personnel to support a number of missions including deep reconnaissance, interdiction and combat search and rescue.

The Courier is of typical configuration for aircraft of its type, with high-mounted wings, twin turboprop engines with six-bladed composite scimitar propellers, and a rear loading ramp. The cargo deck is sized to accommodate standard cargo pallets, has a door in the floor for airdropping, a built-in oxygen delivery system for MEDEVAC operations, and platforms at the side doors for paratroop deployment.

The Samson is of typical configuration for aircraft of its type, with high-mounted wings, four turboprop engines with six-bladed composite scimitar propellers, and a rear loading ramp. The cargo deck is sized to accommodate standard cargo pallets, has a door in the floor for airdropping, a built-in oxygen delivery system for MEDEVAC operations, and platforms at the side doors for paratroop deployment.

C-201A "Skyfreighter" Strategic Airlifter

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/C-201.png

Overview

The C-201A Skyfreighter was designed for the Aequatian Republic Air Force's Military Airlift Command (MAC) with the intent to supplement the C-181A "Starlifter II" Strategic Airlifter (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12806151&postcount=35) as MAC's primary materiel transport with twice the payload capacity of the Starlifter II and a design to carry oversize cargo such as light armoured vehicles and field howitzers.

In recent years the size and weight of Aequatian Republic Land Forces 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-201A can airlift such cargo close to a potential battle area.

The C-201A is powered by four fully reversible, TF-8550 turbofan engines. Each engine is rated at 63,000 pounds force (280 kN) of thrust. The thrust reversers direct the flow of air upward and forward. This reduces the probability of foreign object damage and provides reverse thrust capable of backing the aircraft. Additionally, the C-201A's thrust reversers can be used in flight at idle-reverse for added drag in maximum-rate descents.

The aircraft requires a crew of three (pilot, copilot, and loadmaster) for cargo operations, similar to the C-199A Samson. Cargo is loaded 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 70,000 kilogram M20A4 Mackall main battle tank.

Maximum payload capacity of the C-201A is 77,500 kilograms, and its maximum gross takeoff weight is 265,350 kilograms. The C-201A is designed to operate from runways as short as 1,064 metres and as narrow as 27 metres. In addition, the aircraft 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.

Crew: 3 (Minimum; Pilot, Co-Pilot and Loadmaster)
Capacity: 77,500 kilograms
106× Paratroopers/Infantry plus equipment
36× litters with 25 medical personnel
54× MEDEVAC patients
Length: 66.25 metres
Wingspan: 64.7 metres
Height: 21.0 metres
Empty weight: 128,100 kilograms
Max takeoff weight: 265,350 kilograms
Powerplant: 4× Aequatian Aerospace Industries TF-8550 turbofan engines rated at 63,000 pounds force (280 kN) each
Cruise speed: Mach 0.76 (830 kilometres per hour, 450 knots)
Range: 6,275 kilometres (3,388 nautical miles)
Service ceiling: 13,700 metres

Official Tribal Chiefdom of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To:Heidi Varga, AMI Sales Department President
From:Supreme Operational Commander Jack O'Neil of the Vetakan Defence Forces

Subject:RFQ "Evergreen" Theatre High Altitude Air Defence System (THAADS)

Greetings,

As part of the Vetakan Defence Force's mandate to protect and promote the Tribal Chiefdom's Interests and People. Along with the Vetakan Defence Forces "Diverse Defence" Program and in meeting the final phase of the Vetakan Defence Forces "Defensive Operations" Program it has been decided that Vetaka could utilize the Aqeuatian "Evergreen" High Altitude Air Defence System.

The Vetakan Defence Force currently operates its multi capable OBSAT Network which incorporates a High Altitude Air Defence System. However in order to front a "Diverse and Capable" defence force with the capacity of responding to and eliminating all threats the VDF's Equipment Advisory Unit believes that "Evergreen" would more than meet our requirements.

As a result we wish to file a "Request For Quotation" with your Sales Department in regards to acquiring a "Evergreen" Air Defence System for use around Mainland Vetaka and our Strategic Bases worldwide. This RFQ includes securing all elements and equipment of "Evergreen". It would complement our existing OBSAT Provision but would be utilized separately from OBSAT under the newly formed "DefenceNet" operating under the Control of the Vetakan Defence Force Defence Command based at New Helgan Military Base.

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your support of Vetaka and the Vetakan Defence Forces, May I also take this opportunity to inform you that your Equipment has been well received by the Men and Women utilizing in defence of Vetaka.

I hope to hear from you soon in regards to this issue.

Yours

Light Anti-Armour Weapon, 90mm (LAAW-90)

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

Overview

The LAAW-90 is intended to give infantry units a means to destroy or disable armored vehicles and fortifications, although it is not generally sufficient to defeat a modern main battle tank (MBT). The launcher and projectile are manufactured prepacked and issued as a single unit of ammunition, rather than as a weapon system, with the launcher discarded after use.

The LAAW-90 is a recoilless weapon, and its design is one of the few weapons of its kind that may safely be fired in an enclosed space. The propellant charge is placed between two pistons with the projectile in front of one and a mass of shredded plastic in the rear. Unlike most recoilless weapons it is a true countershot weapon, the mass of the projectile is equal to the mass of the counterweight and they are ejected from the barrel at the same initial velocity. When the weapon is fired the propellant expands pushing the two pistons out. The projectile is forced out the front and the plastic out the back. The plastic disperses upon leaving the back of the barrel, and is quickly stopped by air resistance. The pistons jam at either end of the barrel locking the hot gases inside.

To fire, the soldier pulls out the folding shoulder-stock, disengages two safeties, cocks a mechanical firing pin and presses a trigger button on the weapon's left side. Aiming is accomplished via a folding range-adjustable aluminum sight. Alternatively, the weapon can carry an optical night sight on a removable mount if necessary. The LAAW-90 requires little training and is quite simple to use, making it suitable for general issue.

The weapon uses a 90mm High-Explosive Dual-Purpose (HEDP) round and is effective against bunkers, masonry and concrete walls, and light armor. Initiated by a crush switch in its nose, the HEDP rocket is able to distinguish between hard and soft targets, resulting in greater penetration into soft targets for increased damage potential. The HEDP round is capable of penetrating 25cm of concrete, 40cm of brick, or up to 250cm of wood-reinforced sandbags.

Overview

The MAAW-90 is a shoulder-launched, multipurpose rocket weapon designed to replace the MAWL-90 recoilless rifle as the Aequatian Republic Land Forces' and Marine Corps' medium anti-tank weapon, with the primary function of being a portable anti-armor rocket launcher.

The primary round used is the Mark 51 High-Explosive, Dual-Purpose rocket taken from the LAAW-90 weapon and is the same used in the ILAW-90MP weapon and is a fin-stabilized, free-flight High Explosive Squash Head (HESH) warhead with dual mode fuze for hard and soft targets. The fuze discriminates automatically between hard and soft targets to adjust the warhead functioning.

For anti-armour duties, the weapon uses the Mark 52 High-Explosive Anti-Tank round with a tandem shaped-charge warhead borrowed from the M1011 HEAT-MP round used in the MAWL-90 recoilless rifle, using a tandem gold-copper, conical shaped-charge with a penetration rating up up to 800mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armour equivalent.

For military operations in urban terrain, the weapon uses the Mark 53 Thermobaric round from the ILAW-90AS which incorporates an advanced tandem warhead concept which makes it highly effective against structures, fortified positions, and light armor vehicles. The first warhead penetrates and allows for passage of the secondary thermobaric warhead, which can then demolish structures or eliminate personnel within bunkers.

The MAAW-90 is also capable of using the M1015 Anti-Personnel Canister round from the MAWL-90 which 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.
