Vintage Aviation

Ever look at those super-cool planes of yester-year and wish you could have one of your own? So did we. We wondered why it cost so much to recreate yesterday's aircraft. After a number of years of work by a team of engineers and computer scientists who have a genuine passion for these old war birds, we have answered that question: they don't have too!

We have created a unique manufacturing process using CAD/CAM and industrial robotics that allows us to build accurate reproductions of yesterdays legendary aircraft.

We don't stop with merely creating replicas. Our aircraft feature modernized avionics, electrical systems and hydraulics in order to make them as safe as possible and fuel efficient while preserving performance.

Have a look at our catalog and imagine: imagine commuting hundreds of miles a day to work in a P-51 Mustang. Imagine putting the family in your PBY Catalina flying recreation vehicle and taking off to the tropics for a weekend of fishing, sun and surf. You don't have to imagine what it was like to fly a Spitfire or an ME-109: you can know for sure!

With Vintage Aviation, live your dreams!

All aircraft available in several authentic paint schemes or can aircraft be delivered with a primer coat ready for your custom paint job.

All aircraft delivered with maintenance kit including CD-ROMS of aircraft blueprints, a maintenance schedule and instructions and replacement parts for four years of operation. Additional replacement parts kits available to customers via overnight or 2nd day air.

Aircraft are delivered unarmed and for recreational purposes only.

Ask about our discounts for museums, historical societies and veterans groups.

Low-lite Technologies Division:

Ruby-red(tm) Laser sight [compatible with all FN & most HK firearms]: This laser is isolated on a very specific wavelength which makes it invisible in day-light, darkness or even misty conditions so it won't give away your position but it creates a bright red dot when it strikes a solid target. It comes in a small, discrete snap-on package powered by a 9V battery and is thumb activated.

Cost: 75/unit
Case[24]: 1730

Maritime Systems Division:

Foxfire I The FoxFire series maritime drones are programable, autonomous decoys that can be deployed from aircraft, surface ship or submarine. Its course and speed can be programmed based on simple or complex program models based on IF-THEN-ELSE or CASE logic. FireFox uses GPS guidance to execute its programmed route with great percision. Once the FireFox reaches it activation point, it begins making whatever noises it has been programmed to make. This can be anything from a damaged submarine trying to escape, a slow merchant convoy or a fast carrier task force looking for trouble. It will certianly give hostile sonar operators fits.

Submarine Version:FoxFire Ia can be launched from any 21cm or larger torpedo tube. It utilizes "Swim-Out" technology so it makes very little noise when deployed. Once running, its LOX fueled generator delivers 2500 watts for speeds from 20 to 45 knots and endurance from 6 to two and a half hours.

The surface ship deployed FireFox Ib can be fired from a torpedo tube or simply dropped over the side once it has been programmed.

The Air-Dropped FireFox Ic can be delivered by any aircraft that can drop sonabouys or torpedoes. It uses a small parachute to minimize shock upon hitting the water.

A manual and Linux based software for programming the FoxFire is included.

FoxFire Ia 40,000/unit, 1,200,000 for Lot of 32

FoxFire Ib 40,000/unit, 1,200,000 for lot of 32

Air Defense Anti-Tank System (ADATS/GBAD) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Defense_Anti-Tank_System) The ADATs vehicle is the state of the art, all weather dual role battlefield air defense and anti-tank weapon. ADATS and associated command, control and communications systems are integrated into a Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle (MMEV- with eight wheels/gyro balance) which in turn connects seamlessly to the I-STARS and provides a much needed 3rd dimension for that system. The ADATs/GBAD system uses a 3D radar, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) missile (using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to gather required intelligence and target location at a range of 8 km or more) and low-cost precision kill (LCPK) missile.

The ADATS 2.75" missile is a laser-guided supersonic missile with a range of 10 kilometres, with an electro-optical sensor with TV and Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR). It can engauge and destroy helicopters and fixed wing aircraft up to 10 kilometers away. It can attack LOS and non-LOS ground targets at ranges up to 8km (target requires coded laser designation).

Chassis: MMEV [8-wheels, gyro stabilized]
Speed: 60 km/h, off road speed as conditions dictate
Crew: 4 (Driver, Commander, System operator and [optional gunner])
Weight: 15.8 t
Range: 400 km
Sensors: pulse Doppler radar (Range 25 km), electro-optical device with TV and FLIR
Guidance: Laser digitally coded

Communications Protocols:
TADIL-A/Link 11 is a secure half-duplex TADIL radio link used by NATO that receives or transmits--but not both simultaneously--a sequential data exchange digital link.
TADIL-A/Link 16 is a military inter-computer data exchange format of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
ISTAR- Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance. In its macroscopic sense, ISTAR is a practice that links several battlefield functions together to assist a combat force in employing its sensors and managing the information they gather.
Options: can add encrypted coms to a variety of systems- just ask.


Options:
Coded Datalink to CROMWELL II system (+3,500/unit)

*Commonwealth Exclusive*

For the first time on the export market, we are pleased to present:

the Little Giant 100mm smart-Mortar

When the CCM went looking for a mortar system for their troops, the standard calibers were looked at carefully: 60mm, 81mm, 82mm and 90mm- all fine weapons but self limited by their size. The next step up were the 120mm morters and bigger: powerful weapons but weight prohibitiive and difficult for soldiers to move without a vehicle.

MilTech immediatly began work on the 100mm morter system. Larger than all of the sub-100mm designs, its capable of delivering a larger payload. Firing standard "dumb" 100mm rounds, the 100mm morter can range out to just under 4 and 1/2 kilometers.

Dumb 100mm rounds
100mmILL- fires magnesium flare slowed by parachute
100mmHE - High Explosive
100mmAF - this round goes off 10 meters above ground and showers the ground with fragments in a 40M circle
100mmFG - fragmentation
100mmCB - drops 6 golf ball size mines which can blow off a foot or track
100mmDT - Smoke Compound Delta*
100mmSR - Smoke, red
100mmSW- Smoke, white
100mmSB - Smoke, blue
100mmSG - Smoke, green
100mmSY - Smoke, yellow


The larger 100mm rounds also gave MilTech the ability to add some degree of guidance with a seeker head and actuating fins. In smart mode, a laptop connects to the 100mm morter tube. When a keyed "smart" round is dropped down the tube, contacts are made between the PC and the morter round. The soldier can then tell the morter round how far to go and in which direction. The action of the round depends on its programming.

100mmS-IAP - the morter round seeks heat sources in the range of 270-500 which happen to be the temps that most engines run at. Once it strikes, a shaped charged warhead goes off which can penetrate 3 inches of armor and usually kills the engine effectively neutralizing the vehicle.
100mmS-IXP[Infra-red seeking anti-Personel] - seeks IR signatures in human range. Ideal for that pesky sniper.
100mmS-RAR[Radio seeking Anti-Radio] Nicknamed by troops "the Lieutenant Killer", this round seeks active radio transmitters. Ideal for taking out forward observers, field communications and active jammers.
100mmS-GPS[GPS seeker] This round lands on a percise GPS coordinate entered by the controller.

MilTech is working on more 100mm smart rounds.

The 100mm Morter system from MilTech comes in two versions: man-portable and vehicle mounted. Mounted on a Hummer, it makes an ideal platform for shoot and scoot tactics.

The [I]Little Giant 100mm morter system is available for export license based on unit production. Demo packages are available on request by responsible parties.
