AG9GX Rifle Grenade Series

Overview

In lieu of an attached, underbarrel grenade launcher such as the AG306, the G109A2 rifle was given the capability to launch a number of rifle grenades for different purposes. All of the weapons use a trap method in that the grenades "trap" the live ball or tracer round within the grenade, and uses its energy for propulsion. This method removes the need for a special blank round to be loaded to launch or the attachment of cup launchers.

The AG9G1 (Gold-One) is the standard High-Explosive, Fragmentation round used for general anti-personnel duties. The grenade is effective out to 200 metres and its immediate wounding radius is approximately 20 metres, with fragments reaching a radius of around 250 metres.

The AG9G2 (Gold-Two) is used for breaching operations within Fighting in Built-Up Areas. The weapon consists an explosive mid-section and a front standoff rod. The grenade is propelled to a maximum range of 30 metres and is detonated by the impact of the standoff rod against the door to be breached, the standoff distance allowing the blast wave to affect as much of the door surface as possible, negating any need to aim for hinges or locks.

The AG9G3 (Gold-Three) is an offensive concussion grenade to be used as an anti-personnel device designed to damage its target with explosive power alone. The case is far thinner and is designed to fragment as little as possible compared to the AG109G1. The overpressure produced by this grenade when used in enclosed areas is greater than that produced by the fragmentation grenade, therefore, it is especially effective in FIBUA and bunker assaults.

The AG9G4 (Gold-Four) is an incapacitant used as a noise and flash diversionary device to confuse, disorient, or distract a potential threat. The G-4 can seriously degrade the combat effectiveness of affected personnel for up to a minute, it produces a blinding nine million Candela-rated flash and deafening 200 Decibel Sound Pressure Level blast.

MG9D 7.94mm Light Automatic Rifle (LAR)
OOC: Note, the MG109D light automatic 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 MG109D weapons will retain them as such, from this point on, these weapons will be MG9D light automatic rifles.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/MG9D.png

Introduced in 1998, the MG9D is identical in design with the MG9C (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13820697&postcount=578) with the exception of a Lazlo III RAS for the installation of advanced sights and the use of a advanced muzzle brake to reduce recoil and barrel lift.

G9E3 7.94mm Jungle Carbine
OOC: Note, the G109E 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 G109E weapons will retain them as such, from this point on, these weapons will be G9E3 rifles.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/G9E3.png

The G9E3 "Jungle Carbine" rifle was created by the Aequatian Republic Marine Corps 15th Regiment Combat Team (Jungle Operations Training Centre, Marine Corps Base Camp Fowler, Espandor, Aequatius Secundus) for use in jungle and close-proximity woodland operations, allowing a rifleman to maintain the hitting power of the 7.94mm round with the compact nature of a carbine by cutting down the barrel of an MG9C light machine gun, installing a folding vertical handgrip, replacing the original birdcage flash suppressor with a specialized muzzle brake for reducing recoil significantly and barrel climb and replacing the original solid buttstock with a G18A1k telescopic buttstock.

Light Assault Weapon, 66mm

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/68mmLAW.png

Overview

Developed from the LAAW-90 (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13723668&postcount=496) weapon, the LAW-66 was designed as per requirements set out by the Luchtmobiele Brigade (LMB) of the De Vliggenplaat Koninlijke Landmacht. The weapon is identical to the LAAW-90 in operation and design, but uses a much lighter 66mm fin-stabilized, free-flight rocket with a number of warheads available, such as: HE-FRAG, Thermobaric, and a HEAT.

The LAW-66A, utilizing the High-Explosive, Fragmentation warhead, has an electrical fuze that can be set before launching for an airburst attack, or launched as a normal weapon. The LAW-66B uses the Thermobaric warhead and is optimal for urban operations against garrisoned buildings or field fortifications. The LAW-66C uses a similar warhead as used in the 90mm Mark 52 High-Explosive Anti-Tank round with a tandem shaped-charge warhead using a tandem gold-copper, conical shaped-charge with a penetration rating up up to 68 centimetres of Rolled Homogeneous Armour equivalent.

Specifications - LAW-66

MG9F 7.94mm Squad Automatic Weapon
OOC: Note, the MG109F light machine gun's nomenclature and history have been changed to bring it into line with the G18 series weapons. Although this has occurred, those that purchased DPRs to MG109F weapons will retain them as such, from this point on, these weapons will be MG9F light machine guns.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/MG9F.png

Overview

The MG9F squad automatic weapon was designed for the Luchtmobiele Brigade (LMB) of the De Vliggenplaat Koninlijke Landmacht in order to increase the firepower of an infantry rifle squad. The MG9F is a gas-operated, air-cooled light machine gun. It features quick-detachable barrels. The weapon utilizes a long-stroke gas piston system located above the barrel. Gas system is fitted with three-position gas regulator, with first (minimum) position used to fire when fed from magazines, second when firing from belts in normal conditions and third – when firing belts under adverse conditions, the gas regulator setting also affects the cyclic rate of fire. The gas piston is attached to the bolt group by dual operating rods, running at either side of receiver, to provide necessary clearance for centrally mounted magazine housing. Barrel locking is achieved by rotating the bolt with four massive radial lugs which engages the cuts in the breech of the barrel.

Firing is from open bolt, and gun provides selective fire capability through two-position manual safety-fire selector switch, located on the right side of the pistol grip. The machine gun features dual feed system, so it can alternatively use standard disintegrating belts or detachable box magazines. Belt feed unit is installed on the top of receiver, with belt feeding direction from left to right. Belt feed is operated by the side-mounted swinging lever, which is operated by cam track cut in the side of the bolt carrier (system somewhat similar to that used in post-WW2 Czechoslovak machine guns). Magazine housing is located below the receiver, with magazine being inserted vertically up.

Ejection window for empty cases is at the right side of receiver, both casings and belt links are ejected together. By default, magazine housing will accept proprietary box magazines originally designed for the G9A1 rifle, with 20-round capacity and for the MG9D automatic rifle, with 30-round capacity. Belts are usually fed from semi-rigid “assault pouches” with 150- or 200-round capacity. These pouches are clipped to machine gun below the receiver, using special projection at the top which is inserted into magazine housing and locked there using magazine catch. When not in use, magazine housing is protected by spring-loaded dust-covers. Standard furniture includes polymer pistol grip, polymer handguard with a light steel heatshield, and a solid polymer composite buttstock. A lightweight telescopic folding bipod is attached to the front of the handguard.

M113A6 "Centaur" Multipurpose Transport Vehicle, Light

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/AFVs/M113A6.png

Overview

The Centaur armoured vehicle, a venerable piece of equipment in Aequatian service, has in recent years been seen in a new light as the Republic moves towards an increasingly air-deployable force structure. While vehicles such as the M50 Lucas can be deployed aboard a C-181A Starlifter II or C-201A Skyfreighter, twice as many of the Centaur vehicles can be moved via airlifter and still provide protection against most infantry threats. Such a strategy allows for previously light infantry-based airborne forces to have capable support vehicles for a variety of missions.

Any armour pattern meant for the M113A6 would by necessity be thin, as a major selling point of the vehicle was its 13.5 ton weight and tremendous carrying capacity. Improved survivability measures include a self-sealing and baffled fuel tank on the right side of the engine, which serves to isolate it from the crew compartment.

Armouring consists of a high hardness armour steel plate (10mm thickness) which fronts a carbon-chromium-molybdenum perforated plate encased in hardened rubber for ease of handling. The perforated plates measure 15x12cm and are a total of 20mm thick, with the thirty-five perforations in the plate measuring 8.5mm in diameter. To provide improved protection against chemical energy attacks, standard AMI 20mm thick boron-carbide-ceramic composite plates are encased in five millimetres of ductile steel and backed with a 15mm thick spall liner. The armour protection has been shown to resist heavy machinegun (14.5x115mm) fire from fifty meters (50m) distance, and in tests has protected from multiple impacts from 25mm M791 APDS-T, M792 HEI-T, and M919 APFSDS-T.

This armour protection provides it with a total of 70mm of composite armouring across the frontal arc, sloped at 60 degrees. Factoring in line of sight thickness to a projectile approaching from the perpendicular, the M113A6 in Aequatian service boasts some 142mm of armour protection across the frontal arc. The perforated carbon-chromium-molybdenum plate provides multiple impact resistance, as any cracks caused by penetration of the plate end at the nearest perforation.

Armament ranges from cupola or remote station mounted light or heavy machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, recoilless rifles and anti-tank guided missiles.

K. M Pushkarev, a senior member of the assault weapons design team at the Tanovgorod Arsenal, met with S.V. Nikolovski at the Kishka & Mishka Cafe, on 17 October, 2007. Nikolovski's Experimental Rifle Project, 2007, had met with huge applause when presented at the Regional Small Arms Expo earlier that year, hosted in Germania. Currently, the "Lapinkoira" and "Laika" weapons are seeing service with the Empire of Kilrany's elite units, and reports back from these formations are highly positive. The same ERP07 design, designations G80 and G81, also see service in the Aequatian Military, where feedback from the troops is also highly positive.

Despite this, the weapon is only in limited use within Russkya itself, with only the Lapinkoira being used in any remotely significant number, primarily by the OMSN hostage rescue teams of the law enforcement apparatus. The reason for this is the Russkyan Military's total unwillingness to adopt a bullpup-configuration assault weapon for any sort of general service use. On one occassion, an ERP07 prototype was used to stock-strike the concrete corner of the range building, which damaged the magazine well and jammed the empty magazine in the weapon. Understandably infuriated by this, Nikolovski returned to his workshop with his apprentice P. I. Kussmalov and redesigned the magazine well and feed system in the ERP07's now highly distinctive fashion, which protects the weapon from just such an occurance. Despite having defeated the principle argument against a combat trial of the weapon, Nikolovski was again rejected by what he described as a "close-minded procurement agency staffed by blind imbeciles."

This conflict between Nikolovski and the Military alienated him from many of the nation's arms designers, including TgoVP, who recently released the VSV-01 series of weapons in use with the Empire of Diggledom. Economically safe thanks to large contracts placed from overseas customers, Nikolovski chose to sequester himself in the Kuzmach-Mikhailov Automatic Weapons Facility in the foothills of the Western Mountains. He would later emerge to meet with Kliment Markovich Pushkarev at the abovementioned cafe at regular intervals and return to "KUZMIKPULFAB." When Nikolovski visited the Tanovgorod Arsenal in December of 2007, he presented the new light machinegun to compete in weapon trials to be hosted by the Army over the course of 2008. This visit coincided with the presentation of Pushkarev's "Special Purpose Carbine," intended to be a more economical alternative to the expensive and finely machined ERP07 concieved by Nikolovski and Kussmalov.

More than well aware that the SKP, no matter how well designed, well built, and affordable, was highly unlikely to be accepted as a general service weapon by the Russkyan Military, Pushkarev approached the MVD, the Militsiya, and as of yet unnamed overseas buyers as potential end-users of the weapon. While not completely shutting out the Russkyan Military, as the weapon would be likely to see service with at least one special operations unit, Pushkarev thus secured sufficient funding and interest to ensure a lengthy production run. To outline his basic intent to Infantry Weapons Journal in an October 2007 article, shortly after his meeting with Nikolovski at the Kishka & Mishka Cafe, he said: "I will provide a design that incorporates many of the features of the ERP07 Lapinkoira without the associated price. Of course this will mean that I have to sacrifice some capability. It will excel as a frontline weapon, and a number of foreign buyers will extend its use beyond the SFR itself."

Spetsialniy Karabin Pushkareva is a bullpup-configuration, striker-fired, gas operated rotating bolt selective-fire assault weapon with three calibre options. The working parts are strengthened to accomodate the high-powered 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm ammunition developed by the RMSMC and fielded by the Russkyan Military without degredation of operational life compared to other weapons chambered for the same ammunition. Calibre options are: 7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, 9x39mm. It should be noted that while the weapon is produced in each of these three calibres, one cannot simply swap out components to change calibre from say, 5.45x39mm, to 9x39mm.

Much of the weapon is constructed of 2.0mm thick stamped steel. A section of the forestock along the left side, near the aft of the elevated upper rail, is thickened to 3.5mm thickness with a like thickness on the right side for balancing. This thicker area is meant to very securely accomodate a side-rail optic mount should the operator desire to fit one in lieu of optics with Universal rail mountings. Grips, cheekweld, and forestock areas are built of high-impact polymers in a matte finishing. Grips can be fitted with optional rubberized elements to improve operator 'weld' to the weapon under all environmental conditions. The trigger guard is sufficiently wide as to accomodate a operator with heavyweight winter gloves, mandatory for use over the Russkyan winter.

Ammunition feed is provided by a proprietary double-column box magazine with a capacity of thirty cartridges. It is constructed of matte-finish high-impact polymer and is "waffled" for improved grip in adverse weather conditions. It very securely locks into the magazine well with the umbiqutious "Kalashnikov Lever" method. Other feed options include a modified Schillstrom-pattern fifty round quadruple-column magazine. Both the standard and high-capacity magazines feature rounded magazine lips so as to conform to the feed principles developed by Alexey A. Konovalov of the Russian Academy of Missiles and Artillery. This allows for a much more reliable feed as demonstrated by Patent N 2168143 (27/05/2001).

The bolt travel of the SKP is rather short. As a result of this, the weapon's rate of fire is exceedingly high, at 1200 rounds per minute. A limiter has been installed to reduce the weapon's cyclic rate, located above the gas block. This successfully reduces the rate of fire to 900 rounds per minute, which is still high for an assault rifle but controllable in full automatic fire, allowing for much more easily operator-controlled bursts than the higher cyclic figure. The safety, engaged via the fire-selector, locks the trigger sear but allows for the working parts to be cycled via the charging handle to load or unload the weapon. Fire modes are semiautomatic, two round burst, and full automatic. Effectively, the SKP features the same "hypercyclic" two-round burst capability of the Russian AN-94 assault weapon without the internal complexities.

SKP relies on a gas-block located ten centimeters forward from the chamber. This provides the required energy to operate the balanced automatic recoil management system. Fortunately, in order to develop a balanced automatic, the counterweight assembly need only travel the same distance as the bolt group. This allows for the nessecarily space-intensive opposing gas pistons to be installed in the SKP's reciever. The gas block provides the energy to actuate the gas pistons, which are fitted with their own return spring. So as to prevent installation of a larger counterweight, the 'balancing' piston is connected directly to the counterweight, whereas the gas piston operating the bolt group is disconnected - the extra weight of the longer piston reduces the required mass of the counterweight itself.
The primary gas piston, operating the bolt group, is fitted with its own return spring. During firing, the piston moves 30mm to the rear, delivering a very powerful stroke to the bolt carrier assembly. SKP is striker-fired, the striker being recocked on each movement of the bolt group to the rear against the return spring. The striker's spring is located below the bolt group's return spring.

As with the Russian design AEK-971 which pioneered the balanced automatic concept, this principle of operation conforms to the laws of motion as developed by Sir Isaac Newton and effectively cancels out the recoil forces of the cycling bolt group.

The bolt group consists of the bolt carrier, which also interfaces with the dust-cover over the ejection port and the charging handle, the rotating bolt fitted with two locking lugs, and the striker. The striker is released by the trigger sear, operating the fire selector axle. The "safe" position of the fire axle makes no contact with the striker, while the semiautomatic and full automatic positions are conventional in their design. The most notable part of the fire selector axle is the double-toothed ratchet and reset gearing that bypasses the cyclic rate limiter. As the weapon fires, the ratchet moves back one tooth until the burst is complete, whereupon the last tooth has moved, and the selector axle disengages from the striker's trigger-face until the trigger is released. Once the trigger is released the reset gearing moves to reset the ratchet and enables the SKP to be fired again. This capability is disabled if the selector switch is set to semiautomatic or automatic fire modes. Due to the very high RoF caused by the short bolt travel, the two-round burst fires at 1200 rpms while standard automatic fire (reduced by the limiter) is at 900 rounds per minute. This means that the two round burst is effectively "hypercyclic" and both rounds will have left the barrel by the time the recoil force is felt by the operator. This method is also substantially easier to maintain under field conditions by the operator than the AN-94's "hypercyclic" burst capability.

During operation, the bolt carrier interfaces with the dust cover and pulls it back to open the ejection port located on the right side of the reciever. The spent cartridge casing is ejected and as the bolt group moves forward again, the bolt carrier closes the dust cover. The charging handle - also on the right side of the reciever - does not reciprocate during firing, disengaging from the bolt carrier once released to return to its forward position. For reasons of weapon maintenance and stoppage clearing, the bolt is equipped with a hold-open device after the last round in the magazine is fired. The operator, during the reloading process, removes the empty magazine and inserts a fresh one, pulling back on the charging handle to disengage the bolt hold-open, which will cause the bolt group to cycle forwards, whereupon he can continue as normal as the weapon will have made itself ready to fire. The trigger pull (point at which the sear will actuate the striker) is 2.25kg of pressure.

"Pushkarev's Carbine" was intended as a close quarters combat weapon ideal for fighting in built up areas and originally meant as a competitor to the Lapinkoira and Laika ERP07 variations which were in use with various hostage rescue teams such as the Russkyan OMSN units. Popular demand soon resulted in the production of the BVP (Боевая Винтовка Пушкарева), translated to English as "Pushkarev's Combat Rifle." The BVP differs from the SKP in that the integral vertical foregrip has been deleted, the barrel lengthened, the forestock slightly redesigned to allow for the easy fitting of the GP-30 type underbarrel grenade launcher, and the addition of a bayonet lug at the nine o'clock position. This lengthening of the barrel and forward furniture allowed for the top rail (twelve o'clock position) to be lengthened, making iron sights a more effective means of aiming the rifle.

Both the SKP and BVP feature cold hammer forged polygonally-rifled barrels screwed securely into the chamber's mouth. The muzzles are threaded to accomodate RMSMC, TgoVP, M&K, AMI, and KIAM sound suppressors. Normally the threaded muzzle is fitted with a muzzle brake of AK-74 pattern, though an AN-94 similar model is available. Sling swivel points are provided at the front of the forestock and the rear of the stock, on the left side of the furniture. This makes the attachment points suitable for a conventional sling or a two-point tactical sling, the latter of which is highly prized by Russkyan Army units for obvious reasons.

Sighting options are provided by detachable iron sights (SKP) and folding iron sights (BVP). The SKP's sights consist of a hooded front post with Heckler und Koch Drum-type diopter rear sight, fitted to the twelve o'clock rail. The BVP's sights are in the same position, but are permanently attached to the rail's base. The foresight is attached to a folding base and consists of a hooded post, while the rearsight is a AK-type U-notch with a range scale of 0-600 meters, graduated by increments of one hundred meters. When optics are attached to the SKP or BVP, the iron sights can be stowed as required to provide a clear field of view. BVP has seen some use with high quality ammunition and medium/high-magnification optics as a designated marksman's rifle, particularly with one user whose ingenious bipod design (clipping to the GP30 mountings) was bought by Tanovgorod Arsenal and is now available as a weapon accessory along with the varying muzzle brake styles, sound suppressors, magazines, carrying cases, slings, et cetera.

SSG164 10.4mm Long Range Rifle, Sniper

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/SSG164.png

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/SSG164-camo-2.png

Overview

The SSG164 sniper's rifle, Project name: Thanatos, was developed for the Aequatian Republic Army and Marine Corps for use by advanced marksmen for long range anti-personnel duties and limited anti-materiel missions.

Ammunition

Thanatos uses a specially-designed 10.4x78mm intermediate round fired with a bolt action from a single stack box magazine holding 6 rounds. The 10.4x78mm round (Project name: Scythe) is a rimless, bottlenecked centerfire cartridge for use in the long range anti-personnel duties out to a precision range of nearly 2,300 metres, as outlined in the RFP outline for the Joint Sniper's Weapon Programme between the Republic's Army and Marine Corps. All current 10.4mm Scythe factory ammunition uses solid projectiles rather than jacketed lead-core bullets, which are common to most other rifle bullets. The factory ammunition uses round turned on lathes from solid bars of proprietary copper nickel alloy and are then sized through pressure dies to make their outside diameters more uniform.

One noted downside to the use of solid mono-metal projectiles is that they tend to increase the fouling left in the rifle barrel after they are fired. Since the bullets are harder and more abrasive than the gilding metal jackets of normal jacketed bullets, they are made slightly "undersized" so that they may be gripped effectively by the lands of the barrel's rifling. This inevitably reduces the seal of the bullet in the barrel, allowing hot gunpowder gases to reach the sides of the projectile, vaporizing some of the material and depositing it in the bore, however, this is easily remedied with proper cleaning procedures after firing.

The exterior shape of the case was designed to promote reliable feeding and extraction in bolt action rifles, such as the SSG164, especially under extreme conditions.

10.4x78mm Scythe
Case type: Rimless, bottleneck
Bullet diameter: 10.4 millimetress
Case length: 78.0 millimetres
Overall length: 109.5 millimetres
Rifling twist: 330.2 millometres
Primer type: Large Rifle
Maximum pressure: 440 millipascals

Thanatos: Long-range Interdiction System (LIS)

The SSG164 rifle is part of Joint Sniper's Weapon Programme's "LIS", which includes the "Reaper" Tactical Ballistic Computer (COTS "Razzberry" PDA with ballistic software), "Bowman" Pocket Weather Tracker (wind/temperature/humidity/atmospheric pressure sensors) and "Cyclops" Laser Rangefinder linked to the Reaper TBC, M128 5.5-22x Power Magnification Telescopic Sight, Specialized Muzzle brake and Suppressor.

Muzzle brake and Suppressor

The rifle's light recoil is attributed to the Foxhound Mark.I muzzle brake that was designed to strip gases from the projectile before it leaves the muzzle brake. The brake's two-stage design has the second stage actually direct the gas at a slight angle to the rear. It is made of corrosive resistant stainless steel and will on average reduce recoil by 60% when compared to using a conventional brake.

The Foxear Mark.I muzzle brake suppressor (MBS) is a stainless steel suppressor. The all stainless steel construction with no replaceable parts guarantees a suppressor life that equals or exceeds the life of the rifle. When totally filled with water, the suppressor can be drained in 6 seconds that allows use when emerging from water.

Day and night optical sight systems

There are two different day optical sights available. The primary sight is the M128 5.5-22x56 Power variable magnification telescopic sight with a 56 millimetre objective.

The alternate sight is the Republic Optronics Incorporated Prometheus Sight Enhancement Module. The night vision system chosen is the AN/PVS-137 Monocular. The PVS-137 is attached to the day optic using the Monoloc device. The Monoloc is in use by several SOCOM units as well as the PVS-14. An AN/PEQ-202 Infrared Laser is used for system support with the night vision sight under conditions where there is insufficient ambient light or the IR laser is needed for further target illumination. The device is attached to a titanium strut.

Meteorological and environmental sensor package

The "Bowman" Pocket Weather Tracker meteorological and environmental sensor package is used to measure the wind, air temperature, and air pressure. It also collects relative humidity, wind chill, and dew point. All of these points of data are fed directly into the tactical computer so that no manual input is necessary.

Laser rangefinder

A "Cyclops" milspec laser rangefinder is used to establish ranging data up to ranges of 3,000 metres

"Reaper" Tactical Ballistic Computer (TBC) System software package

The "Reaper" Tactical Ballistic Computer (TBC) System software package was developed to enhance the long range predictive capabilities of a sniper’s handheld computer (a commercial "Razzberry" PDA). Its predictive capabilities are based on actual bullet flight data derived from test sessions on the high speed Doppler Radar at the Aequatian Army Materiel Command Proving Grounds in the Western Desert. AMI Engineers created algorithms that utilize both known mathematical ballistic models as well as test specific, tabular data in unison. The software package is programmed with all current Aequatian rifle cartridges from 6.8x42mm to 20x104mm calibre along with numerous other long range rounds.

The system provides the operator with a simple elevation and windage solution through complete integration of external environment, operator, and gun system specifications, enabling small arms weapons operators to produce highly accurate long-range trajectories to any number of specified targets at extreme ranges.

The software package operates on the Electryte Dynamics Corporation's "Razzberry" hardened and mil-spec model R-PDAs running the CC-003 operating system, using input from the "Bowman" handheld weather station and "Cyclops" laser rangefinder binoculars.

When rounds are used for which actual Doppler Radar established bullet flight data was not available for the engineers to incorporate in the software package, the TBC System has to rely on mathematical ballistic models like all other ballistic prediction computer programs to compile an effective firing solution.

SSG155 15.5mm Anti-Materiel Rifle

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

Overview

The SSG155 was designed as a replacement for the previous SSG25 weapon, which was seen as ineffective for its intended role, to be the Aequatian Army's and Marine Corps' primary heavy rifle for long-range interdiction of materiel.

Ammunition - 15.5x118mm "Victor" SLAP

The 15.5x118mm "Victor" Saboted Light Armor Penetrator (SLAP) ammunition uses a reduced caliber, depleted Uranium with a full copper jacket 7.8mm diameter penetrator wrapped in a polymer sabot of 15.5mm diameter. Since the mass of the saboted penetrator is much lighter in weight than normal ball 15.5mm calibre ammunition, SLAP's velocity can be significantly and safely increased which produces a very fast round with a very flat trajectory which enhances hit probability.

The projectile weighs 68.0 grams with a 40.0 gram core of depleted Uranium with 2.0 grams of Tungsten carbide in the tip to use as a guiding element once striking armour, allowing for easier penetration by the dU core. The overall round weight is approximately 200 grams and 155 millimeters long. The projectile has a muzzle velocity of approximately 1,000 meters per second and could penetrate 40 millimetres of steel at an incidence of 60 degrees at a range of 1,000 metres.

Ammunition - 15.5x118mm "Firebird" MPI

The 15.5x118mm Multipurpose, Incendiary (MPI) is based on the projectile having an armor-piercing (Tungsten carbide core), an explosive and an incendiary component, thus making it capable of penetrating lightly armored targets and causing damage to personnel inside the target after penetration. It is a suitable round for engaging helicopters, aircraft and lightly armored vehicles, as well as unarmored vehicles, and it has the capability of igniting jet fuel. The Firebird MPI has about the same destructive power as a standard 20 millimetre light cannon round against such targets.

The Multipurpose concept developed by AMI is unique in the way that instead of using a mechanical fuze it uses a pyrotechnical detonation train to ensure proper detonation of the explosive and incendiary components.

Applications

The long effective range, over 2,000 metres with a maximum effective range of 2,500 metres, along with high energy of the Victor or Firebird rounds, allows for effective operations against targets like radar arrays, trucks, parked aircraft and so on. The SSG155 can also be used to defeat human targets from standoff range or when targets are behind cover, however, anti-personnel work is not a major application for the SSG155.

The SSG155 also makes use of the Thanatos Long-range Interdiction System (LIS) (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13798037&postcount=533) originally developed for the SSG164 Long Range Rifle, Sniper for stand off interdiction engagements.

CH-206A "Angelwing" Transport/Assault Helicopter

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/CH-206A-1.png

Overview

The CH-206A Angelwing is an all weather, day and night amphibious medium support helicopter. It is cleared for operations from nearly all Aequatian Republic Navy and many foreign warships and is equally at home providing support to ground forces when ashore. The aircraft can seat up to 27 troops and is fitted with an external cargo hook capable of carrying underslung loads weighing up to 2,700 kilograms such as 4x4 general purpose vehicles and light artillery. A rescue hoist is fitted as standard on the single starboard door.

The aircraft is fitted with a Defensive Aids Suite which offers a high standard of protection from both Infra-Red (IR) and Radar guided anti-aircraft weapons. It is also armed with a cabin mounted MG260D 8.5mm General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) for self defence and limited fire support.

The Angelwing was designed as a Naval Helicopter from the outset and has numerous features which make it well suited to embarked operations; these include powered folding rotor blades, a folding tail, robust undercarriage, a telebrief system and construction from materials resistant to salt water corrosion. The aircraft is a stable platform for Instrument Flying (IF) and is fitted with a comprehensive suite of navigation aids including an Instrument Landing System, much the same as that found in civil airliners. The CH-206A has clearance to fly in certain icing conditions and is fully Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatible.

MG166/MG167 Series Multi-barrel Machine Gun

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/MG167.jpg

Overview

The basic weapon is a 6-barrel, air-cooled, and electrically driven machine gun. The electric drive rotates the weapon within its housing, with a rotating firing pin assembly and rotary chamber. The minigun's multibarrel design helps prevent overheating, but also serves other functions. Multiple barrels allow for a greater capacity for a high firing rate, since the serial process of firing/extraction/loading is taking place in all barrels simultaneously. Thus, as one barrel fires, two others are in different stages of shell extraction and another three are being loaded. The minigun is composed of multiple closed-bolt rifle barrels arranged in a circular housing. The barrels are rotated by an external power source: usually electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic.

The basic fixed armament version was given the designation MG167 by the Aequatian military, the MG167 standard is able to be mounted in Weapon subsystems on helicopters in all branches, The MG167B is mounted as a fixed system for close-in surface defence for ARN vessels. The MG167C was developed for use on the Army and Marine Corps AH-196B "Nike" attack helicopter while the MG167D can be mounted on a remote weapons station for AFVs and light vehicles.

Another variant, the MG166, has a 3-barrel configuration and is scaled up to the new 15.5x118mm cartridge, developed for the SSG155 (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13811406&postcount=548), and is capable of using both Victor and Firebird rounds in addition to the standard M910 15.5mm Tracer, Illumination.

A-206A "Osiris" Fast Strike Aircraft

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/A-206A.png

Overview

The A-16C Invader (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13272705&postcount=207) tactical bomber, while an effective all-weather strike aircraft, effectively lacked the necessary speed needed to deliver munitions in anti-shipping duties within the Aequatian Republic Navy. As per this realization, the Naval Fleet Aviation Command issued a request for proposal to the aerospace industry and the design submitted by Republik Flugzeugwerke AG, designated the XA-206A, was chosen for evaluation.

The requirement for a supersonic strike aircraft was born out of the fact that the Aequatian fleet carriers would be greatly outnumbered in any situation in fighting against another enemy surface fleet, so in order to counter this threat the decision was made to act "asymmetrically", countering the greater enemy numbers with a new specialized strike aircraft employing conventional or, if necessary, nuclear weapons. Operating from Fleet Carriers and attacking at high-speed and low-level, they would offer a low-cost solution to the enemy fleets at a relatively low cost.

Advanced Crew Station

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

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

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

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

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

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

The system, along with all of the onboard electronics suites for the aircraft, are hardened against electronic attack and electromagnetic fields with the use of silicon diode shielding. Current limiting resistors and a parallel spark gap provide protection against excessive forward current while shielding and the spark gap protect against excessive back voltages generated either directly or by electromagnetic waves.

Joint Helmet-Mounted Queuing System

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

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

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

Defensive Systems

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

Integrated Defence

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

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

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

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

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

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

Onboard Jamming

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SHared Advanced Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

APG-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.

F-124B "Bullwhip" Multirole Tactical Fighter

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/F-205A-Liberator.png

Overview

The original F-124A (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13239551&postcount=192) aircraft was conceptualized as an air superiority fighter, designed to combat many of the numerous Questarian and Haven Bloc tactical aircraft, especially the FGR.1 Storke, however, with the threat removed of facing a old enemy, the Bullwhip aircraft became redundant in the face of the multirole F-194A Pandora (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13478529) strike fighter. It was decided that the Bullwhip would be redesigned for multirole purposes itself and have its design simplified, with the removal of the variable geometry wings.

Armament

The primary armament of the F-124B is the Russkyan-built Aerial Automatic Cannon, Single Barrel, Dual Feed (AAC/SB-DF 01), designated the M156 in Aequatian service. Developed from the Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 (9A-4071K) automatic cannon, AAC/SB-DF 01 is a very similar weapon intended for use originally with the "Project Constellation" YFA-38A-JMRTF, YFA-38B-JMRTF, and other variations thereof.

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

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

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

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

The air combat loadout of the F-124B allows for an extensive variety of weapons available for use, ranging from any NATO or CIS air-to-air missiles such as the AIM-9X Sidewinder and AIM-120C AMRAAM along with the MBDA Meteor or Vympel R-73 or R-77 weapons. In Aequatian service (Air Force and Navy) the primary missile armaments for air combat are the AIM-359A "Star Thrasher" Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile and AIM-360A "Star Blade" Advanced Close Engagement Air-to-Air Missile.

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

Advanced Crew Station

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

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

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

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

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

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

The system, along with all of the onboard electronics suites for the aircraft, are hardened against electronic attack and electromagnetic fields with the use of silicon diode shielding. Current limiting resistors and a parallel spark gap provide protection against excessive forward current while shielding and the spark gap protect against excessive back voltages generated either directly or by electromagnetic waves.

Software is also included to control the forward-looking infrared targeting unit with the helmet, allowing the pilot to designate targets on the ground as well.

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

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

The system consists of a three to five micron staring focal plane array targeting FLIR, an electro-optical camera, a high-power laser rangefinder and designator and a laser spot tracker, a navigation FLIR system and a C.C.D. television camera. The latter has different fields of zoom that are also incorporated with the FLIR itself.

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

SHared Advanced Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

APG-127 Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (AESAR)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Powerplant

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

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

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

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

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

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

G170k (top) and G170 rifles

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/Augusta-HBAR.png
MG170B Light Support Weapon

Overview

Developed upon an operational requirement put forward by the Mechanized forces of the De Vliggenplaat Koninlijke Landmacht, the G170 was designed as a family of rifles that could be quickly adapted to a wide variety of roles with the change of the barrel to a desired length and profile, among which are: 407 millimetre (16-inch) carbine barrel, 508 millimetres (20-inch) standard rifle-length barrel and 621 millimetre (24.4 in) light machine gun heavy barrel for the MG170B light support weapon.

The primary variant of the rifle designated the G170 (AMI Corp.), consists of six main assemblies: the barrel, receiver with integrated rail interface system, bolt and bolt carrier, trigger mechanism, stock and magazine. The Augusta is a selective fire rifle with a gas piston operated action that fires from a closed bolt. The rotating bolt features 7 locking lugs and is unlocked by means of a stud on the bolt body and a recessed camming guide machined into the bolt carrier. The bolt carrier itself is guided by two rods inside the receiver with two recoil springs directly behind it, around the two spring guides. The bolt contains a claw extractor that forms the eighth locking lug and a spring-loaded "bump"-type casing ejector.

The G170 has a short-stroke piston system where the right guide rod serves as the action rod, transmitting the rearward motion of the gas-driven piston to the bolt carrier. The left-hand rod provides retracting handle pressure when connected by the forward assist and can also be used to remove fouling in the gas cylinder by utilizing the left-hand guide rod as a reamer.

The firearm uses a 3-position gas valve (the first setting, marked with a small dot, is used for normal operation, the second setting illustrated with a large dot - fouled conditions while the third, "GR"-marked, closed position is used to launch rifle grenades of the non-bullet trap type) and a safety mechanism (selector switch), located above the grip. In its “safe” position (white dot) the trigger is mechanically disabled, moving the switch to the next position (single red dot) indicates the weapon is ready to fire in semiautomatic mode, switching it to the final position (three red dots) readies the weapon for full automatic fire.

The rifle is fed from a steel, double-column box magazines with a 30-round capacity and an empty weight of 130 grams. The light machine gun version of the Augusta (MG170B) uses an extended 45-round magazine, although it is usually loaded to 42 rounds to prevent feeding issues.

The quick-change barrels used in the Augusta series are cold hammer forged by Sierra Metalwerks AG of AMI Corporation for increased precision and durability, their bores and certain components of the gas system are chrome-plated. The barrels all have polygonal right-hand grooves and a rifling twist rate of 228 mm (1:9 in). The barrels lock into a steel insert inside the receiver via eight lugs around the chamber end and are equipped with folding, vertical grips that help to pivot the barrels and withdraw them during barrel changes. Four-holded "birdcage" flash suppressors were used on the three barrels available, with an optional pivot for either a folding vertical grip (As used on the G170 and G170k) or an integral, lightweight folding bipod (MG170B). Rifles outfitted with 407 millimetre (16-inch) and 508 millimetre (20-inch) barrels are able to launch AG109GX Rifle Grenade Series (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13783914&postcount=509).

The receiver housing is a steel-reinforced aluminum extrusion finished with a baked enamel coating. The non-reciprocating plastic cocking handle is located at the left side and is connected with the bolt carrier's left guide rod. The cocking handle has a forward assist feature (alternatively called a "silent cocking device") used for pushing the bolt shut without recocking the rifle. A bolt hold-open device locks the bolt carrier assembly back when changing magazines.

The Augusta family lacks a bolt release button, and the cocking handle must be retracted to release the bolt group after a new magazine has been inserted. Integrated with the upper receiver is a flattop Lazlo III series rail interface system that is STANAG-1913 compatible. The G170 and G170k variants can accept the common Aequatian gunsights such as the M22 Floating Dot Sight (Reflex-type), M36 1.5x–5.5x Power Combat Optic Sight and M64 Holographic Combat Sight, while the MG170B can also accept the Passive Night Observation AN/PVS-247 Individual Weapon Sight.

Overview

During the 1960s the Aequatian Republic Army adopted the G9 7.94mm battle rifle as its service rifle, however, it found the full power 7.94mm rifle, fired fully automatic, was hardly controllable with the Army's involvement in the close quarters jungle fighting of Zhardesia to aid the newly-independent country in fighting the Guerrilla War in 1964. In 1965, an operational requirement was put forth for a new, lightweight weapon, this time based on a much smaller 6.8mm round and lighter in weight.

AMI Corporation began the development of the new rifle based on a conventional action mechanism using a gas piston operation which proved much more resistant to fouling than initially expected, to the delight of Army Ordinance Board Members. They were immediately criticized for their appearance, as at the time, crude sheet metal and welded components were frowned upon in the use of service rifles. However, such construction proved to be a sign of things to come, as it promised significantly reduced production costs, and allowed it to be made on less advanced machinery.

Key to the cost reduction was the use of stamped-metal receivers and other components, in addition, a simpler operating system with a conventional short-stroke gas piston was selected in place. The bolt, springs and recoil buffer were housed within the receiver, and the bolt rode on two metal rods instead of the receiver walls, which provided additional clearance for dust and mud. The G18 rifle also housed its buffer mechanism in the solid polymer buttstock, proving to aid in reduced recoil and increased accuracy. Another method of reducing recoil was the use of a three-prong "duckbill" type muzzle brake.

Formal adoption for both the Army and Air Force occurred after AMI Corp. approached the Aequatian Republic Projects Agency (ARPA), who bought 1,000 rifles for use by Zhardesian troops in the early summer of 1966. Aequatian special operations units and advisers working with the Zhardesian troops filed battlefield reports lavishly praising the G18 and the stopping effectiveness of the 6.8x42mm cartridge. This came as a dilemma to the Department of Defence, which had only a few years previously completed a costly and lengthy selection process for the G9, who now faced on one hand the General Headquarters Staff who supported maintaining the G9 and the positively glowing reports from both ARPA and Army Special Forces. In the end, both the Army and Air Force would choose to adopt it, with the Navy's refusal, the Marine Corps maintained the G9 as its infantry service arm.

With the war in Zhardesian coming to an end with the Stirling Accord in 1968, the Aequatian forces returned home content with the G18, which continued in service unchanged until the Invasion of Valla Verde in 1978 to return the legitimate ruler to power after he was disposed in a coup by the military. The dense and humid jungle of Valla Verde, unlike the relatively dry bushlands of Zhardesia, wrecked havoc on the G18's design. Mud and other blockages would either get caught in the weapon's muzzle brake or foul the barrel and action, causing catastrophic stoppages and damaging the weapons to the point of depot-level repair. Even with proper cleaning, the G18 rifle maintained a dismal 67 per cent operational rate. Upon completion of operations in Valla Verde, AMI Corp. was asked by the Army to redesign the weapon for all climates and produced the XG18E1, which would later be adopted as the G18A1, with a chrome-lined steel barrel, an enclosed "birdcage" type muzzle brake and protection against corrosion, the A1 variant would also see the introduction of the 30-round magazine, replacing the earlier 20-round capacity model as well as the single-shot AG306 40mm Underbarrel Grenade Launcher.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/G18A2-A3.png

Overview

The development of the G18A2 rifle was originally requested by the Aequatian Army as a result of the combat experiences in Valla Verde with the G18, the G18A1 intended as an interim design. The Army was the first branch of the miliary to adopt the G18A2 in the late 1980s as part of that branch's modernization effort and the modifications to the A2 were more extensive.

In addition to the new polygonal rifling, the barrel was made with a greater thickness in front of the front sight post to resist bending in the field, allow for cooling between shots, and the stepped-up design allowed use of the AG306 grenade launcher to be used with the weapon more effectively. The A2 also uses a faster twist rifling to allow the use of a trajectory-matched tracer round.

The front sight was now a square post with four positions in order to refine the sight picture. A new adjustable rear sight was added, allowing the rear sight to be dialed in for specific range settings between 300 and 800 meters to take full advantage of the ballistic characteristics of the new ARAM-I rounds and to allow windage adjustments without the need of a tool. The flash suppressor was again modified, this time to be closed on the bottom so it would not kick up dirt or snow when being fired from the prone position, and acting as a recoil compensator.

The front grip was modified from the original triangular shape to a round one, taken from the G18A1k (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13814707&postcount=564) carbine, which better fit smaller hands and could be fit to older models of G18s. The new handguards were also symmetrical so that armories needn't separate left and right spares and the handguard retention ring was angled to make it easier to install and uninstall.

The new buttstock is ten times stronger than the original due to advances in polymer technology since the early 1960s as the original G18 stocks were made from fiberglass-impregnated resin; current stocks are engineered from a glass-filled thermoset polymer. The new stock includes a fully textured polymer buttplate for better grip on the shoulder, and retains a panel for accessing a small compartment inside the stock often used for storing a basic cleaning kit.

All together, the rifle's new features added weight and complexity to the G18 series, but in the end produced a highly effective rifle. The G18A2 was formally adopted into service with the Aequatian Army in 1988 and the Air Force in 1990. The G18A3 variant was designed through input from Aequatian Republic Special Forces and Army TRADOC personnel to include a modular, upper receiver-mounted, Lazlo Rail Interface System for the use of commerically-available gunsights. In 1998, the M36 1.5x–5.5x Power Combat Optic Sight was accepted as standard issue and all Aequatian Army rifles were changed to A3 standard with the M36 sight.

Note: This weapon is available for export sale.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/G18-A1k-A3k.png

Overview

The G18A1k Carbine was a shortened version of the G18 rifle, (predating the G18A1 service rifle by nearly ten years!) but it was not brought into formal service until after the new A1 rifle had been adopted, thus it remained a privately-acquired personal weapon for many fighting in Zhardesia. It was developed for situations where longer weapons could be unwieldy, such as aboard vehicles or helicopters. The only significant change from the G18 rifle was that the barrel was shortened to 15 inches in length. Because of the shorter barrel, and the weapon originally being a civilian model, no bayonet mounting lugs were provided. The weapon also retained its civilian market round polymer foregrip, which would later be lengthened for the G18A2 upgrades.

The weapon had the same four-position selector switch (developed by Dr. Joseph Foster in December 1964) as the original G18 and its later models so that a user could select safe, semi-automatic, three-round burst, or full automatic modes of fire. The selector itself had 360 degrees of motion, and could be moved either clockwise or counterclockwise, unlike with standard groups on other rifles. The carbine model, however, instead of three-round burst, the burst cam could be modified to two-round or six-round burst. In place of the original solid polymer buttstock, the carbine introduced the adjustable telescopic stock.

The adoption of the G18A2 and A3 versions of the rifle, the same upgrades were implemented into the carbine's design, along with the Lazlo RIS, in 1999 and officially adopted for the Aequatian Army and Special Operations Command as the G18A3k carbine.

MG18A3 6.8mm Light Support Weapon

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/MG18A3.png

Overview

Initiated as a private venture by AMI Corporation in the early 1990s, the weapon was essentially a modified G18A3 rifle with the heatshield installed from the AG306 UBGL to cover the enlarged heavy barrel and gas tube (eventually used in the MG170B) which uses a hydraulic buffer and has the ability to fire from an open bolt. Sights are placed on the flattop Lazlo I RIS while the foregrip has an integral bipod fixed for sustained fire, the weapon feeds from the STANAG 45-round doucle-stacked box magazine, again eventually used in the MG170B LSW.

Dear sirs,

In the past we have come to your storefront to purchase large aircraft to replace our ageing AWACS and EW aircraft. These aircraft were the Capricon Family and have proved excellent in all theatres of war we have been engaged in recently but more notably, have been supurb in all wargames we have undertaken in the past year or so.

These aircraft have been perfect for the homeland but the Holy Empire grows with every passing year and several overseas colonies are in troublsome areas and we wish to purchase several cheaper early warning and EW aircraft so that they can be deployed permanantly in our colonies with us having to move the other aircraft we brought from you quite so often.

We wish to purchase the following Command and Control fixed wing aircraft:

11x EP-191B "Aurora" Airborne Early Warning and Control (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13474017&postcount=348) Aircraft
8x RP-191C "Canopus" Electronics Reconnaissance (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13474035&postcount=349) Aircraft

MG9C 7.94mm Light Automatic Rifle

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Small%20Arms/MG9C.png

Designed as a replacement for the MG9B (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13135805&postcount=161) light automatic rifle, the MG9C incorporates many of the design features of the XG9E1 rifle into its own design. Taking the same action, bolt and feed mechanism, the MG9C fulfilled the role of a light support weapon with ease. Manufactured to fire in fully-automatic firing modes only, the weapon can accept the improved 20-round magazines along with the interchangeable improved 30-round magazines. The weapon replaces the original handguard with a thin steel heatshield (with integral, telescopic bipod) for better cooling of the heavyweight barrel. Officially adopted in 1985, the weapon would also be integrated with the Passive Night Observation AN/PVS-247 Individual Weapon Sight in 1986 for night operations.

Specifications - MG9C LAR
Weight: 4.9 kilograms (Empty); 5.3 kilograms (Loaded)
Length: 110.0 centimetres
Barrel length: 560 millimetres (22-inches)
Cartridge: 7.94x56mm ARAM-M
Action: Gas-operated, tilting bolt
Rate of fire: 650 Rounds per Minute
Muzzle velocity: 840 Metres per Second
Effective range: 600 metres
Maximum range: 1,200 metres

Secondly, we would like to confirm that the EP-191B is carrier capable as we would like to use it as a replacement for the Hawkeye.

We would also like more specific numbers on the troop-carrying capacities of you Adams, La Belle and Troy Class vessels. Also, we must encourage you to publish the stats for the Gordon Class AOE as it is a contender to replace the Supply Class AOE in our fleet. Please make sure you include numbers on its capacity when the stats are published.

The Tolvanic Navy wishes to know if it is possible to produce a supersonic variant of the A-206A "Osiris" Fast Strike Aircraft?

The A-206A Osiris aircraft is capable of supersonic flight of up to Mach 1.75 in level flight at average altitudes, however, the lower speed of 560 knots at low altitude is required for stable flight for low-level attack runs.

OOC: The M343 is an old design and I have yet to replace it with something that is remarkably improved over the M777 it was based off.

The EP-191B is roughly the size of a Boeing 767 airliner, you tell me if that's carrier-capable.

Both the Adams and La Belle can carry approximately 3,200 personnel each, with the Troy LSL hauling about 1,200.

The Gordon AOE I'll get to in good time.

SH-96M "Sea Panther" Light Sea Control Helicopter

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/Aircraft/SH-96M.png

Overview

The SH-96M Sea Panther deploys primarily aboard frigates, destroyers and cruisers. The primary missions of the M-model (or Mike) are surface warfare and antisubmarine warfare, which it accomplishes through a complex system of sensors carried aboard the helicopter including an integral Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD) and 30 air-launched sonobuoys. Other sensors include the APS-441 search radar, ALQ-342 ESM system and dorsal-mounted forward looking infrared (FLIR) turret. It carries lightweight torpedoes, BGM-365A "Gremlin" missile and a single cabin-door-mounted MG260D or MG167 machine gun. A standard crew for a Mike is one pilot, one ATO/Co-Pilot (Airborne Tactical Officer) and an enlisted aviation systems warfare operator (sensor operator).

They feature reduced radar and infrared signature and are equipped with two compact RQ-38A "Sprite" helicopter UAVs for remote sensing. The helicopter deck can also support a number of helicopters as well, although only briefly for refueling and rearming, such as SH-96M and SH-105C sea control aircraft, RH-105D mine countermeasures helicopters and CH-206A transport helicopters. The helicopter deck fitted with a RAST system allowing the launch and recovery of helicopters in up to Sea State 6.

The main gun on the forecastle is a 63.5mm/64-calibre Mark 16 Mod 1 automatic gun. The gun is capable of firing 2.8 kilogram shells at a rate of 220 rounds per minute at a range of more than 23 kilometres. The Mark 16 Mod 1 is a multi-purpose weapon usable against surface and air targets using a number of shells, including the 2.5-inch Delayed-fuse High-Capacity, High-Explosive (DF-HCHE), High-Explosive Airburst (HEAB) with 320 3.2 gram Tungsten-carbide, spin-stabilized submunitions and Inert training rounds. For close-in point defence against smaller surface targets and supporting boarding operations, there are also two twin-mounts of Mark 158 30mm Fully-Stabilized Automatic Cannons that are manually-aimed using a combined Electro-Optical/FLIR sighting system from Aequatian Optronics Incorporated.

Missile systems include forward Mark 43 Mod 9 Vertical Launch System with sixteen launch cells for use with a number of missiles such as the BGM-338B/C "Hydra" Ground-Launched Cruise Missile, RGM-200C "Tempest" High-Speed Anti-Shipping Missile and quad-packed RIM-352B "Sea Flash" High to Medium Air Defence Missiles.

M51 "Sabre" Air Defence Vehicle

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Aequatio/AFVs/M51-ADV.png

Overview

The M51 Sabre air defence vehicle was developed from the chassis and hull of the M50 Spartan II (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13169289&postcount=163) mechanized combat vehicle for use in mobile short-ranged air defence. The new turret is fitted with a 360-degree traverse C/D Band 3D Air-Search Radar, an X Band Fire Control Radar, a combined Passive FLIR/EO Tracker and between four to eight firing canister tubes for the MIM-360D Star Sabre (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13622044&postcount=456) surface to air missile. The vehicle operates when the air search radar has detected a target, it is tracked by either the passive optical (FLIR/EO) sensor or the X-Band radar, the former which are immune to anti-radiation missiles and ECM. When the target is in range, a missile is fired, and can either be self-guided by its own IIR/UV seeker head or with SACLOS Radar-guidance from the vehicle's gunner. The missile's blast-fragmentation warhead is detonated either through impact or laser proximity, depending on the target type.

KGR-01V Battle Rifle
OOC: This is the first of three weapons coming up designed by Russkya and released to me for production in this thread.

--

The second rifle developed by TgoVP, KGR-01V is a cooperative work between Pyotr Ivanovich Kussmalov and Roman Grygorko. The intent behind the KGR rifle is to develop a weapon firing a full-power cartridge in a compact, conventionally laid out package.

Furniture is constructed of a lightweight high-impact polymer with a matte finish, available in black, olive drab green, and coyote brown. Grip components (forestock and pistol grip) are textured with evenly spaced raised bumps to improve the operator's grip. Two alternative sets of forestock panels are available, fitted with either the Rail Interface System (RIS) or the Aequatian Lazlo Universal. The trigger guard finds itself housing the safetycatch, as well as being sufficiently large to accomodate an operator in winterweight gloves.

Iron sights are provided via a hooded post foresight and a U-notch rearsight, mounted on a slide adjustable from 100-800 meters. Often, the receiver cover is found fitted with a Picatinny, RIS, or Lazlo Universal rail to provide a base for a variety of optics. The solidly machined receiver walls are capable of securely accepting side-rail mountings. Cross-pin construction enables a tool-free breakdown of the rifle; the forestock, receiver cover, and pistol grip are easily removed in this manner. A H&K type selector switch is located above the grip, with this safety blocking the firing pin. An automated trigger safety, identical to those found on Glock handguns, is also fitted.

Conventionally designed, with the magazine housing forward of the pistol grip, the KGR-01V makes use of the Kalashnikov's method of magazine locking, also making use of the "lever" release. The charging handle is directly attached to the bolt carrier. The entirety of the gas assembly (piston, tube, block, et cetera) is concealed within the forestock, as is the barrel guide rod.

Identified as the "Gabbet-Fairfax Push-Pull" method of operation, the official literature on the KGR-01V's method of operation refers to it as the "Swinging Claw." The primary advantage given is a substantially increased barrel length in a more compact package, as the breech/chamber area is now located over the magazine instead of forward of it as is conventional. Chambered for the powerful 9.3x64mm cartridge, numerous recoil-reduction steps were taken, including a reciprocating barrel. Other features of the KGR-01V are a bolt hold-open device, a two safeties - as described above - and a lightweight bolt group. A description of the weapon's action follows.

To make the rifle ready, first the magazine is loaded. Once latched, the operator pulls back on the charging handle. Being directly attached to the bolt carrier, this brings the bolt carrier back on its guide rails as machined into the walls of the receiver. This also compresses the return spring, cocks the hammer, causes the claw loader to withdraw a cartridge from the magazine and swing upwards into the loading position. Once the operator releases the charging handle, the bolt group moves forward under the return spring's force. With this motion, the bolt takes control of the cartridge and the claw loader drops down to the magazine, gripping another cartridge. The bolt group is now in its forward-most position, and the triple-lug bolt interacts with a cam to lock with the barrel.

Upon firing, the initial recoil force unlocks the bolt from the barrel and starts the bolt group on its rearward path. As the projectile passes by the gas block, the gas piston is actuated and extends from its housing by 25mm to deliver a sharp tap to the bolt carrier, providing the force needed to fully cycle the bolt group.
As the bolt group's weight is much lighter than that of the barrel, and assisted by the gas piston, it cycles much more rapidly than the bolt can travel to the rear. The claw-type extractor on the bolt ejects the spent casing while the loading claw is bringing another cartridge up from the magazine, whereupon the bolt takes control of it in the full rearwards position. On the return stroke, the bolt relocks with the barrel and the weapon is once again ready to fire. In full automatic, the sear will not reengage the hammer, meaning that this cycle will continue until the burst is completed by releasing pressure on the trigger or sufficient rounds are fired that the barrel can no longer travel rearwards. It has been found that five shots are fired before the barrel is in the fully rearwards position, whereupon the action continues to operate though the weight of the barrel is no longer absorbing some of the recoil force.

Further recoil reduction measures are the "Figure Eight" muzzle brake, an enlarged copy of the same design found on the AN-94. Despite being fitted with a folding stock, a buffer spring is installed in the KGR-01V. The proprietary magazines are constructed of high-impact synthetic and are waffled for improved grip in all conditions, with both twenty and thirty cartridge capacities available. "Swinging Claw" action requires that the magazines be specially designed. In order to make use of two columns to increase capacity, the KGR-01V's magazine features a modified form of the Konovalov feeding system as developed by Alexey A. Konovalov of the Russian Academy of Missiles and Artillery. A small protrusion at the top of the magazine extends for half of the cartridge's length from the front, leaving the rear half available to be grabbed by the loading claw. The rounded magazine lips easily feed ammunition up into this single cartridge loading guide, creating a strange looking but effective magazine.

Three sling attachment points are found on the rifle, one set on the left side of the forestock and stock, and another on the left receiver wall. A thin "neck" prevents the folding stock from interfering with the trigger when folded to the right of the receiver. The bayonet lug is located on the left side of the barrel, just aft of the muzzle brake, which allows for the use of an underbarrel grenade launcher with the bayonet fitted - something not possible on most rifle designs. A downside of this is that any diverted muzzle blast will heat the bayonet, sometimes causing it to be uncomfortable to handle after sustained firing. This is not considered a significant design flaw. As the muzzle is not threaded, a suppressor cannot be installed. Again, this is not considered a flaw, as any suppressor fitted to the KGR-01V would have to contend with the sheer power of the 9.3x64mm cartridge, which is not easily suppressed by any means.

By mid-2007 the Empire of Diggledom had grown to be dissatisfied with its existing service rifle and contacted the Russkyan small arms design community, looking to have a new weapon developed to meet its particular requirements. This weapon was jointly developed by Taganrog Combat Sidearms (TgoVP) and S.V. Nikolovski, known as the VSV-01. Notably, the VSV-01 was chambered for the Izistani 6.7x48mm IZIMIL cartridge, famed for its flat trajectory and good armour piercing qualities. The VSV-02 and VSV-03 rifles were also developed, chambered for 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm respectively. These latter two weapons were intended for export, and are found in a number of law enforcement arms lockers throughout the SFR and in the hands of private security contractors as far overseas as the continent of Karain.

In the latter stages of 2008, an abortive attempt was made by TgoVP to market the VSV series assault rifles through Aequatian Military Industries. It was decided early on that the weapon had not seen export success for a number of reasons, namely the esoteric IZIMIL cartridge and that buyers perusing AMI's selection were often looking to move away from the old Soviet cartridges that formed the other calibre choices. CSR-1A1 is a modification of the VSV-01 design chambered for Aequatian ammunition and utilizing Aequatian polymers to ease its production by AMI.

Technically speaking, the CSR-1A1 is a magazine fed selective-fire assault rifle with polymer construction, a number of attachment rails, a milled steel receiver and utilizes a synchronized gas and counterweight system ("opposing pistons" or "balanced automatic action"). The weapon's furniture (grip, stock, foregrip, etc) are manufactured of glass-filled thermoset polymers, keeping in line with the materials used by the G18-series rifle. CSR-1A1 is available in 6.8x42mm ARAM-I, loaded into proprietary polymer magazines of a thirty cartridge capacity. The magazines feature rounded magazine lips to adhere to principles established by Alexey A. Konovalov of the Russian Academy of Missiles and Artillery. This allows for a much more reliable feed as demonstrated by Patent N 2168143 (27/05/2001). Magazines are available in opaque polymer with a viewing panel built into the rear, or in entirely translucent polymer.

Furniture is available in olive drab green, coyote brown, and matte black colours. The Aequatian Lazlo Universal Rail System is fitted, with one rail running the length of the upper receiver cover and four rails on the forestock. The CSR-1A1 features a HK-type selector switch and hooded post type foresight mated with a selectable-range drum-type diopter rear sight. The muzzle is threaded to accommodate a number of attachments, including the new Foxhound Mk.I muzzle brake or a sound suppressor. The bayonet lug is located on the left of the weapon, near the muzzle. This allows for the simultaneous fitting of a bayonet and underbarrel attachment such as "MasterKey" shotgun or underbarrel grenade launcher without restricting the latter's ability to fire.

The two gas assemblies are referred to as the primary and the secondary assembly. The primary assembly is not connected to the bolt group. When protruding from its housing, the primary gas piston extends 30mm to deliver a solid impulse to the bolt group, actuating it. To reduce the size of the counterweight, the secondary gas assembly is connected directly to the counterweight via the gas piston. This increases the total mass to be moved and thus reduces the required size (and mass) of the counterweight itself. The bolt is locked via three lugs and is of the rotating type. The charging handle is connected directly to the bolt carrier, and as a result of this, reciprocates during firing. There is a bolt hold open device, the release being found on the left of the receiver. Because the gas assemblies are very close to the barrel, prototype weapons found overheating during sustained firing to be a problem. This was resolved by chrome-lining the barrel and and fitting it with exterior ribbing to provide more surface area on which heat will dissipate.

CSR-1A1 is widely considered to be one of the best assault rifles available in 6.8x42mm as it combines comfortable and accurate semiautomatic fire with easily controlled automatic capability. As is commonly known, there are four stages to the recoil of a semiautomatic or automatic weapon, these being the initial pulse from the recoil of the cartridge upon firing and the unlocking of the bolt group. The second is the rearwards travel of the bolt group, compressing the return spring, and the third is when the bolt group's inertia is reversed. The final stage is when the bolt group returns to the ready position and the bolt locks. During automatic fire, this causes a noticeable "shake", which can be controlled by ensuring the action and barrel are in-line with the shooter's shoulder during design of the weapon, by using a lightweight bolt group, and finally by fitting a muzzle brake to reduce climb and felt recoil.

The CSR-1A1 maintains a "straight line arrangement" with a highly effective climb-compensating muzzle brake, and neutralizes the unsettling movement of the weapon's action by moving the counterweight in the opposite direction to the bolt group's movement. For example, when the bolt group is traveling to the rear the counterweight is moving forward, and vice-versa. Felt recoil is further reduced by a buffer spring located in the six-position telescoping stock and a optional recoil pad.

LGM-366A "Messiah" Intercontinental Ballistic Missile

*Scary missile goes here.*

Overview

The retirement of the LGM-83C Widowmaker intercontinental ballistic missile series saw to the end of the Aequatian Republic's land-based nuclear arsenal until the introduction of the MGM-342 "Maus" (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13170697&postcount=164) mobile SICBM. While the MGM-452 has proven itself in numerous tests, its 11,000 kilometre range put limitations on its usefulness in deterring aggression on the other side of the region and required forward bases or basing rights from allies, neither of which were always possible, and it was from this issue that the 2008 White Paper on Strategic Aims was addressed towards a means to remedy this limitation.

The requirements set out in the 2008 WPSA was to develop a weapon that could have worldwide reach and extend the Republic's strategic arm and bolster confidence in its capabilities to strike at aggressors' homelands. The key aspect of the new weapon was that it could have nearly an unlimited range thanks to the use of a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) which would place the warheads in low earth orbit (LEO) flight, which would also not reveal the warhead's specific target trajectory until re-entry began during the weapon's attack. This property of the weapon led to the selection of the Aggregate Rocketwerkz AG Model A-700 Orbital Delivery System (ODS) which is a three-stage, solid-fuel rocket that would deliver the weapon to an apogee of approximately 1,800 to 2,000 kilometres from the Earth's surface before setting the weapon into orbit.

The weapon portion of the LGM-366A was designed as a Multiple Independently-targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) which would deploy once the missile had entered its midstage portion of its flight. The weapon uses a similar package as that used in the MGM-342A+ variant, except the larger missile allows for a capacity of up to ten 400 kiloton thermonuclear warheads, each capable of striking independent targets or striking fewer redundantly. Using a standard MIRVed missile, the main rocket motor (or booster) pushes a "bus" into a freely-falling suborbital ballistic flight path. After the boost phase the bus maneuvers using on-board small rocket motors and a computerised inertial guidance system. It takes up a ballistic trajectory that will deliver a re-entry vehicle containing a warhead to a target, and then releases a warhead on that trajectory. It then maneuvers to a different trajectory, releasing another warhead, and repeats the process for all warheads.

However, with the use of the FOB System, the "bus" is placed in orbit and will release a number of countermeasure systems to defeat earthborne detection and tracking radar systems such as chaff, RFCM suites and, after re-entry, aluminized balloons. The low earth orbital flight of the weapons bus will also prevent effective prediction of the weapon's intended target, as a missile can be launched along any path into orbit and reach its target regardless of its original trajectory. This function can also act as a safeguard for diplomatic measures even after a launch, intentional or accidental, as it allows for self-destruction procedures to be performed if necessary.

Using hypersonic airfoils and its own guidance system, each individual warhead can be independently-targeted by their "Gryphon Mk.2" Maneuverable Re-entry Vehicles (MRV), based off technology developed for the "Alice" MRV on the MGM-342B missile. The MRV allows for the warhead to shift its trajectory during the re-entry phase of its flight in order to mislead enemy detection systems (in cooperations with normal penetration aids) and evade missile defence systems such as kinetic-kill surface-to-air missiles. Using a combined inertial/active radar terminal-guidance suite, the MRV allows for pinpoint accuracy with a circular error probability of just over fifty metres. Each MRV is also protected against the effects of nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, heat produced from most ground- and air-based laser systems and even nuclear blasts less than 500 metres away from the vehicle.

Flugabwehrkanonen, 35mm (FWK-35) Air Defence System

Overview

The FWK-35 35mm automatic cannon was developed after considerable field tests were performed with the original M742 "Duster II" Anti-Aircraft Gun System which concluded that the system's detection and tracking equipment was not capable in a simulated warfighting scenario. This, studied alongside after action reports from the Seventeenth Army's action in Hjeltland against Spacium Concordant low-altitude Havenbombers, proved to the Army's Air Defence Artillery Corps that a suitable replacement was in order.

Work began on the project in two concurrent projects, the first would produce a new detection and tracking package suite for engaging low-level aircraft, while the second would produce a new automatic cannon for use in the system. The latter was a contraversial choice, given that the M156 cannon was still more than capable.

The system's detection system uses a MPS-1137 C/D band air search radar (500 megahertz to 2 gigahertz frequency range) in a Passive electronically scanned array radar suite that is datalinked to the gun's station. (In towed batteries, the MPS-1137 is mounted on the bed of a modified M35A2 truck) The MPS-1137 has an effective range of up to fifty kilometres, depending on the type of target being tracked and electronic countermeasures being used.

The gun's own targeting system uses a FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) and Electro-optical sensors, laser rangefinder and designator for tracking targets, this offers the gunner a passive tracker that will not draw in anti-radiation missiles. For times of foul weather or low visibility, there is also a VPS-1140 I/J band target tracking radar (8 to 20 gigahertz frequency range) mounted on the gun that can automatically direct the weapon for the gunner.

The automatic cannon chosen for the system is the AMI Corporation's Flugabwehrkanonen, 35mm (FWK-35) gun and is usually mounted as a linked pair. Unlike most automatic firearms, the FWK-35 does not depend on gas or recoil to actuate its firing system. Instead, it uses an 8.0 horsepower D.C. motor, positioned in the receiver to drive the chain and dual-feed system. This system uses sprockets and extractor grooves to feed, load, fire, extract, and eject rounds. A system of clutches provides for an alternate sprocket to engage and thus allows the gunner to switch between armor piercing and high explosive rounds.

The weapon assembly consists of three parts: the barrel assembly, the feeder assembly, and the receiver assembly. The three-part structure makes it possible for a single person to install or remove the system despite its considerable total weight.

Ammunition for the gun has two variants, the M1155 High-Explosive, Incendiary with Tracer (HEI-T), M1156 Frangible Armour-Piercing, Discarding Sabot with Tracer (FAPDS-T) and the M1160 Advanced High-Explosive, Air Defence (AHEAD) round. The latter is based off a similar round used in the Navy's Mark 8 Mod 0 "Lineman" 30mm close-in weapon system, the gun fires short, 24-round burst of high velocity AHEAD rounds aimed at the target's intercept point. Every projectile is programmed by a muzzle based electromagnetic inductor, which sets an electronic timer to activate and separate the projectile into 172 Tungsten-carbide, spin-stabilized submunitions (3.5 grams each), forming a lethal cone shaped metal cloud, placed ahead of the target in its flight path which is best suited for engaging fast moving aircraft or low-flying cruise missiles.

MGM-371A "Trojan" Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM)
(OOC: Thanks goes out to No Endorse for his advice on #draftroom)

*Really scary missile goes here.*

Overview

The MGM-371A intermediate-range ballistic missile was born out of the Aequatian Army Defence Research Lab (ADRL) IRBM-X Programme to develop a long-range missile capable of delivering tactical nuclear warheads against hardened targets such as airfields, tactical missile bases, weapon storage facilities, command and control centres and other second echelon facilities in order to disrupt enemy operations. The missile offers the Army the capability to surgically strike at enemy tactical and operational command infrastructure, disrupting communication and logistics and weakening the resolve of opposing forces.

Development

The IRBM-X Programme was originally a request for concepts by the Aequatian Army Missile Command (MICOM) and the joint engineering team from the ADRL and Aggregate Rocketwerkz AG proposed two prototypes. The first model (XMGM-368A) was proposed by the ADRL and would have used a unitary warhead similar to that carried on the MGM-342A+ Maus SICBM in the same maneuverable re-entry vehicle. The second model (XMGM-269A), proposed by Aggregate Rocketwerkz AG, used a MIRV design with three W10 warheads taken from the new MGM-335D Arbalest TBM. Both designs were produced as prototypes and testing began until a defected Muncherian nuclear rocket scientist employed by Aggregate Rocketwerkz AG brought to light a variation on the MIRV concept.

Instead of the three-warhead MIRV design with the variable yield weapons, he called for an increased number of smaller warheads and a more advanced targeting system which would allow for the best exploitation of the combined shockwaves of the multiple detonations to increase the damage done by a single missile. Designated the XMGM-371A and using the same missile from the XMGM-369A along with the 10x10 wheeled transporter erector launcher designed for the ADRL model, the Muncherian scientist's design came to life when MICOM test fired the first YMGM-371A weapon with inert warheads six weeks after the blueprints were laid down and four weeks later would see the first test of the full system, now designated the MGM-371A "Trojan."

Design

The missile uses seven independently-targeted re-entry vehicles with a set yield of 40 kilotons each and is programmed to release the warheads in a set pattern during an attack sequence in order to fully exploit the greater target damage for a given missile payload. Radiation and heat energy from a nuclear warhead diminishes as the square of the distance, via the inverse-square law, and blast pressure diminishes as the cube of the distance. Due to these effects, several small warheads cause much more target damage area than a single large one when striking the target.

The MIRV concept was also forwarded by Aggregate Rocketwerkz AG as well for the benefits that the design reduces the effectiveness of an anti-ballistic missile system that relies on intercepting individual warheads. As the MGM-371A missile has seven independent warheads, interceptors generally only have one warhead per missile. Thus, in both a military and economic sense, the MIRVs render ABM systems less effective, as the costs of maintaining a workable defense against MIRVs would greatly increase, requiring multiple defensive missiles for each offensive one. In addition, infrared and radar cross section decoy re-entry vehicles are used alongside actual warheads to minimise the chances of the actual warheads being intercepted before they reach their targets, increasing the chance that the targets are hit by the missile strike.

The missile uses a two-stage solid-fuel rocket motor for boost and midcourse flight and has the capability to reach targets to a range up to 5,500 kilometres, rendering a majority of command centres within an enemy formation vulnerable to the missile's warheads. The missile functions in a similar manner to the MGM-342 Maus series SICBMs in its "cold launch" operation in which gas pressure was used to eject the missile from the launch canister mounted on the TEL. The first-stage rocket motor would only ignite once the missile was free of the launcher. The MGM-371A has a digital inertial guidance system, an upgraded suite compared to that installed in the MGM-342, which is datalinked to the Aequatian Regional Navigational Satellite System (SATSYS) and used during the midcourse phase of the flight.

The re-entry vehicles, once released from the missile "bus" carrier, are not only datalinked to the mother guidance suite but also possess their own indepedent packages. These packages combined with the hypersonic airfoils and engines allow the warheads to better avoid incoming interceptor missiles and give a better cross-range capability when engaging multiple targets. In the terminal phase of the flight the re-entry vehicles will use their onboard active radar guidance system, using advanced radar maps of the target area, the warheads have an accuracy of thirty metres circular error probable, an unprecedented rate of accuracy for a long-range missile.

B-209A "Curtana" Strategic Bomber

*Awesome lineart coming soon...*

Overview

The development of the B-209A Curtana bomber was started as a crash development project under the Advanced Strategic Bomber Programme after the publishing of the 2008 White Paper on Strategic Aims in order to design a long-range bomber with payloads capable of delivering nuclear weapons and successfully penetrate enemy air defence networks. The original requirements set by the procurement board called for an aircraft with advanced infrared and radar stealth properties, good low-altitude flight characteristics and internal fuel storage for intercontinental range.

Development

The project began when a tri-combined design team formed of technicians and engineers from the AMI Corporation's Aerospace Division, Republik Flugwerkz AG and the University of Arrio's Aerospace Sciences Department began an in-depth study of other strategic bomber designs formerly in service with the Aequatian Republic Air Force as well as those in service with other national air services, namely the Tyrandisian IAC SB-22 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=484971) Sariel and Questarian Blackburn Blackadder MSE.2 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13395742&postcount=127) bombers, as they were both the most numerous designs in service around the world.

The most in-depth study was done with the SB-22 aircraft as nearly a hundred models were in service with the ARAF, at the time based at Fogarty Air Force Base in Aequatius Decca, and the design team were authorized to not only examine the aircraft's performance and service records (including a number saved by defecting Tyrandisian pilots and crews), but even disect a number of airframes and their components for research use in the development of the B-209A aircraft.

The Blackburn aircraft examined most closely were a number of MSE.2AEP models formerly in service with the air force of The People's Freedom and captured by the Aequatian Republic Marine Corps when they secured the territory of Südwesthaven after a combined operation with the nations of Cotland and Clandonia. Like the SB-22 aircraft before them, the Blackburn airframes were disected and closely examined by the personnel of the design team, including a lengthy investigation of the avionics and electronic warfare suites. The variable geometry design of the Blackburn aircraft, not unlike that used already in the 1970's-era Aequatian B-12A Vanquisher strike bomber, was decided as optimal for the B-209 given its intended role and doctrine. The newer design of the Blackadder's mechanism, compared to those from the older B-12A, were taken as a design base and used when the combined team started on the first blueprints.

Design

The first prototype blueprints for the now christened XB-209A were completed by the design team after completing their research and deciding on the best concepts to use for the aircraft. The team from Aerospace Sciences Department wanted to emulate the design and effects from the Tyrandisian aircraft, citing its advanced stealth technology would offset the reduced payload and speed while the two industry groups wished for a more conventional design more akin to the Blackadder or Vanquisher, using the variable geometry wings and supersonic speed combined with a powerful electronic countermeasures suite. The industry engineers and technicians accused the academics of having their "heads in the clouds" as the academics replied with the accusation that the AMI and Flugwerkz personnel were being lazy. In the end, following a brief physical confrontation in the closed discussions within the meeting rooms of the University of Arrio, a compromise was found and the XB-209A would incorporate technology and concepts from both the SB-22 and MSE.2AEP bombers.

The aircraft retained the variable geometry wings from the Blackadder and Vanquisher aircraft in order to possess higher lift when cruising long ranges with the wings swept forward and lower drag with the wings swept back, required for low-altitude dashes close to Mach 1 speeds. The airframe would also be a first for Aequatian aerospace design in the majority of composite materials used in its construction, a concept taken from the Sariel's design. Although not able to fully reproduce the identical materials used in the Tyrandisian aircraft, the design team approached the Advanced Materials Group from the University of San Allimos, and were able to find suitable replacements. The aluminum-nickel alloy used in the frame of the SB-22 was easy to replicate and was used, along with a low-pressure diffusion-bonded titanium support frame, the advanced silicon carbide and aluminum composite was left out, the team opting for a simplified silicon carbide composite instead.

There was, however, no attempt to replicate the TPMI/EC-developed RADAR Absorbent Structure (RAS) as the team decided to manufacture a purely Aequatian design that was optimized for absorbing or reflecting the most common air search and tracking radar frequencies. This was chosen as a more passive system would allow for a more effective means of penetrating enemy air defence networks without relying on active jamming, which in turn acts as an early warning system. The design called for a matrix of synthetic fibres (similar to that used in infantry body armour) and RF-reflective composites that would allow for the aircraft to perform at high speeds without fear of losing the material (as could occur with traditionally sponge-like Radar Absorbing Material) which was attached to the streamlined fuselage and wings. Unlike the TPMI/EC design which absorb or weaken the radar signals, the Aequatian design scatters them away from the returning vector.

Advanced Crew Station

As with all Aequatian aircraft, the B-209A uses the Advanced Crew Station for the three personnel aboard (Pilot, co-pilot and warfare support officer) with modifications made to improve operations. Each crewmember has a UCFD (Up Front Control Display) with touch-pad controller for waypoint or frequenct entry, which is the primary interface for the aircrew to operate the aircraft’s avionics systems. Two DDIs (Digital Display Indicators) are mounted on either side of the UFCD. DDIs mirror each other in terms of funcitonality and allow the operator to control two displays at once. Each DDI has twenty buttons positioned around the four edges of the screen, each having different functions. The primary navigation aid display is the MPCD (Multipurpose Colour Display) positioned beneath the UFCD. It combines the horizontal situation indicator and the moving map.

All the displays use active matrix liquid crystal display technology. High Order Language software provides the capability to fuse MIDS (Multi-Function Information Distribution System), RWR (Radar Warning Receiver) and digital moving map on the displays. Each has five displays in each cockpit used for aircraft system control and sensor display. A monochrome UFCD is the primary interface with the aircraft’s avionics systems. Two colour Advanced Multipurpose Displays (AMPD) are mounted on either side of the UFCD. An engine Fuel Display (EFD) displays engine data and fuel quantity. The pilot's and co-pilot's systems have a 150x150cm MPCD and HOTAS (Hands-On Throttle and Stick) controls while the warfare support officer has an 205x254cm MPCD. The larger screen displays more information, including moving map, MIDS tracks and FLIR imagery.

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

The system, along with all of the onboard electronics suites for the aircraft, are hardened against electronic attack and electromagnetic fields with the use of silicon diode shielding. Current limiting resistors and a parallel spark gap provide protection against excessive forward current while shielding and the spark gap protect against excessive back voltages generated either directly or by electromagnetic waves.

The ACS that the WSO is assigned to is also linked with the SMQ/S71 stores management system (taken from the FA-177A Kovas (http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/wiki/F/A-77_Havenfighter)) which provides the interface between carried munitions, including pods and other equipment, and the systems and personnel that govern their usage. The SMQ/S71 system monitors the health and attributes of carried munitions as well as transferring the data from the fire control system to the individual weapons and vice versa through a fiber optic communication and bus system.

Integrated into the aircraft's systems is the AMQ/M20B Aircraft Monitoring and Utility System, also taken from the license-built Kovas fighters, that monitors all points of the aircraft’s fuel, electronics, and airframe health. The entire AMQ-M20B system uses six computer systems: two fuel monitors, two general purpose computers, landing gear computer, and the maintenance computer. All six computers are linked via fiber optic data bus to the primary flight computers. The two fuel monitors provide real time information on fuel flow, fuel level, and allow for active regulation of all aspects related to the fuel system, including refueling, fuel dumping, fuel movement from tank to tank, and fuel leveling, among others. The two general purpose computers serve as a general redundancy measure as well as expandable space. The landing gear computer provides the data and capability to actively monitor and assess the condition of the landing gear in addition to regulating their deployment, stowage, and operation of the doors and systems directly related to the landing gear. The maintenance computer, the largest of the six, monitors the entire health of the aircraft in addition to recording data for maintenance purposes. The maintenance computer uses several dozen sensors to monitor the airframe and engine status in real time and alerts the pilot or ground crew, if accessed from the ground, of any potential problems or warnings. This computer also records all voice/data transmissions in addition to data gleaned from the monitoring system for use in serving as a maintenance record as well as providing critical information in the event of the aircraft’s crash or failure in flight

Electronic Warfare

The new design called upon the design group to develop equally advanced countermeasure systems in order to better protect the aircraft, compared to those already available to the Aequatian Republic Air Force. Although the AEQ/E42B Electronic Countermeasures and Defensive Aid System from the FA-177A Kovas was among those tested, improved versions of the Aequatian AN/ALQ-214 RFCM (Radio Frequency Countermeasures) and the AN/ALQ-123 IDECM (Integrated Defensive Countermeasures) were selected instead.

Integrated Defence

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

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

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

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

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

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

Onboard Jamming

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

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

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

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

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

SHared Advanced Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP)

The Shared Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP) is a multi-functioned reconnaissance pod, adaptable to several airborne platforms for tactical manned airborne reconnaissance. It is capable of simultaneous airborne and ground screening capabilities. SHARP is deemed by the Air Force and Navy as cutting edge technology that will take airborne reconnaissance into the 21st century. While traditionally an external pod mounted on an aircraft's hardpoint, it was decided that to maintain the stealth properties of the B-209A that an intergral suite would be used.

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

The aircraft's design requires an organic, all-weather, day/night, manned, tactical air reconnaissance capability to provide continuous and immediate intelligence support to the Battle Group Commander (BGC) in the prosecution of independent, joint, or combined operations as well as to provide intelligence data for the security of those forces under his/her command. To meet this requirement, the Departments of the Air Force and Navy will incorporate a SHAred Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP) on the centerline of the F-194 that will employ a suite of sensors to collect infrared, visible, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) digital imagery at medium and high altitudes.

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

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

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

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

APG-134(V)2 Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (AESAR)

The APG-134(V)2 AESA radar, based off the original APG-134 AESAR on the BA-74E Scimitar, uses 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 aircraft with an electronic attack capability as well, with near simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground elements. Defensive electronic countermeasure techniques used for electronic attack, generated by the ALQ-214 jammer are sent to the APG-134 via an RF connection and directed to the target through the radar’s TR modules. Running with H4 software will enable more air-to-air capabilities and network-centric operations. An improved automatic target identification system called ATRATQ (Auto Target Recognition and Auto Target Queuing) and more sensor integration will follow in future builds.

Powerplant

The aircraft is powered by four of the same TF-196AB engines used in the BA-74E Scimitar tactical bomber. The architecture comprises of a three-stage fan, seven-stage compressor and a single-stage high and low pressure tubine developing almost one hundred eleven thousand Newtons of thrust.

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

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

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

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

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

OOC: Just wondering, what are the cargo area dimensions for the C-181A "Starlifter II"?

Official Reply Blubland Government

We would like to purchase a number of cockpit modules to replace key components damaged or lost during emergency ejections on the F-28D Green Eagle. We have a large number of these aircraft, and over the years we have had ejections due to failures and pilot error. These components require replacement.

Further, we need to purchase approximately 800 Part-343 Heat Shields to replace wear and tear on the thrust nozzles of our F-28D fleet.

Please reply with what you will charge for these components.

From the Desk of Secretary of Defense Sir Bruce Davison, Federated Union of Democratic Colonies
To the Office of Heidi Varga, Aequatian Military Industries Sales Department

I would like to offer you greetings from the Democratic Colonies. While my nation's usage of AMI products has been minimal in the past, we have every confidence in your work due to your reputation for excellent products and craftmanship, and so would like to inquire as to what open domestic production rights for the AGM-200B "Typhoon" High-speed Anti-Ship Missile (HASM) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=530096) would cost for us. We understand that pricing for open domestic production rights can vary from nation to nation, so we would like to open our negotiations with a proposed price of 150,000,000,000 Aequatian Markes.

Thanking you for your time,
Sir Bruce Davison

To AVI,

We are a nation that has recently decided to upgrade our military and were hoping you could outfit two division of around 100 000 men. We would like to make them both mechanized, with a mix of M1272 Rhinos, and other APCs. Additionally, we would like a few helicopter regiments (2500 men each). Finally all the men will need side arms, camoflage suits, and primary weapons. The XG-133 and G74 seem like excellent weapons.

we estimate the total cost will be around $15 billion, and if it is under, please simply give the troops better equiptment.

Thank you
