Type 22 "Wolf"

Overview: After the release of Type 11A "Lion", Cornwall Military Aviation received huge sums from the government to develop new type of advanced multi-role fighter, to compete with foreign markets and to replace the aging foreign-made F-16I "Sufa" currently in service in the airforce.

The Type 22 "Wolf" Advanced Multi-Role Fighter is an advanced version of the Type 11A "Lion". It has improved engines , and more advanced electronic systems (which almost didn't exist on Type 11A "Lion")

Electronic Systems:

1. BCASVLS (Breiga Combat Aircraft Secured Voice Link System)- the BCASVLS system is simple, yet efficent, system to maintain a secured voice chat with other connected aircraft. The system also enables communication with various ground installations, and a message while approaching airport identified as friendly (by information entered to the system by the pilot prior to the flight). The system can be ordered to connect to small ground devices (that can be given to military personnel) enabling to create communication with ground soldiers, who can pass reports though their devices to the aircraft. An aircraft with this system can be used as flying communication center, transfering messages between ground soldiers to the HQ, or back.
2. ASDS (Aircraft Status Displaying System)- the ASDS is basically an screen with electronic system that shows the pilot how much fuel is left, for how much time its enough, the status of the engine, technical problems, etc. if connected, the ASDS system can display information about a friendly aircraft (receiving information from the other aircraft system).
3. GFOI (Ground Friendly Object Identification) – the GFOI system is doing one simple thing. It is recognizing ground objects with the ground system (a watch-like device for soldiers, box-size for structures.) and informs the pilot that they are friendly. To prevent the stealing of the ground system, the soldier ground objects are inactivated every hour and need to be reactivated with a password (but they inform the soldier with voice message that he should reactivate the system) also, the GFOI system points that a certain ground device has been deactivated, and will be activated again soon, to prevent the attack on ground soldiers who's device was just inactivated.
