Status: Open for business, though currently limited to specific customers.

OOC Note
The Chevrokian government has a history of being very paranoid about exporting military equipment made in the country, so they may not necessarily be willing to sell expensive military equipment to just any nation. Though the Chevrokian Republic is largely capitalist, export of military items requires approval by the government, as they like to see their equipment used by trustworthy nations. Additionally, many of the military items produced in Chevrokia are designed with specific Chevrokian operational requirements in mind, and they may not be suitable for all operators. So think carefully before placing an order.

Policies of Chevrokian Aerospace
All transactions are conducted with Universal Standard Dollars (USD). Frequent customers may be entitled to a discount on their final order price. Due to significant expansion of production capacities within the past several years, orders to Chevrokian Aerospace should be fullfilled in a fairly short time.

For customers, orders may be picked up in person or by shipping companies of the purchasing party. Alternately, the order can be shipped to the purchasing party for a small fee.

For those already in possession of products from CAe or it's predecessor companies, resale of items purchased in the past requires approval by the Chevrokian government. Modification of CAe products requires approval by the company.

Chevrokian Aerospace does not export military items to companies or other corporate entities. From time to time, nations may be "blacklisted," depending on their relations with the Chevrokian government.

Lightning

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j118/ChevyRocks/AIM-12ALightning2.png

A replacement for the tried-and-true AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, the AIM-12 Lightning was developed from a contract issued by the defense forces of Democratic Colonies. The Lightning is a medium-range air-to-air missile, capable of beyond visual range (BVR) engagement.

Much of the Lightning’s design is quite similar to the AMRAAM, not surprising considering the role it is intended to fill. At the nose though, you can see a big difference. To get the speed necessary for effective modern warfare, the Lightning uses a rocket engine in conjunction with scramjet propulsion. The rocket engine boosts the missile to the speed needed for the scramjet to operate properly, which gives the Lighting blinding terminal speeds. The Lightning missile is capable of reaching speeds upwards of Mach 5.

At longer ranges, guidance for the missile is provided by an inertial navigation system, which receives updates on the target’s location, speed, and other important information to guide it towards the target. The information updates can come from the launch aircraft, or from other nearby radars mounted on other combat planes, AWACS, onboard ships, or ground units. Within 25 miles (40 km) of the target, the Lighting is fully autonomous, operating with it’s internal radar system. If fired from the launch vehicle within this range, it becomes a “fire-and-forget” missile, requiring no further guidance to the target. If the target attempts to jam the Lightning‘s radar, it can home in on the radiation emissions produced, making it a very deadly weapon to just about any aircraft. When it’s time to get the business done, the 50 lb (23 kg) blast-fragmentation warhead can be detonated by either proximity or contact fuses.

The Lightning missile is also often used as a medium surface-to-air missile (SAM), and without modifications, can be launched from mobile or fixed land platforms, or from onboard ships.

B-95A Valkyrie II

IMAGE (http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j118/ChevyRocks/B-95ATop.png)

Overview
For over thirty years, the Chevrokian version of the B-70 Valkyrie had served the Chevrokian Republic Air Force (RAF) with distinction as its first strike aircraft. However, its age had begun to show, both in terms of the design and equipment originally installed as well as fatigue on the airframes. Quite simply, the aircraft were getting old and their systems were not suitable for the modern battlefield. Refitting the old planes with modern avionics and weapons systems was an option, but RAF Bomber Command was not interested in trying to stretch the life of an obsolete aircraft, and instead chose to pursue a successor which was originally designed with modern avionics and weapons systems. The job to create a successor fell on the Strategic Aircraft Division of Chevrokian Aerospace (CAe), which had originally been the firm Chevrokian Strategic Aviation and had manufactured the original Chevrokian Valkyries, prior to being absorbed by CAe.

Design
From a distance, the B-95A Valkyrie II looks indistinguishable from the distinctive shape of the original B-70. Still present are the big delta wings with their drooping wingtips, twin vertical stabilizers with all-moving rudders, the lower fuselage “box” containing the engines and their intakes as well as the weapons bays and landing gear, the long and slim forward fuselage, the forward canards, and the adjustable nose ramp. The wings, canards, and vertical stabilizers have been reshaped slightly, largely in the interest of improving high-speed stability. The B-95’s overall length has increased by 25 ft (7.6 m) over the original B-70, allowing for a slightly increased maximum speed as well as increased internal volume for fuel, weapons, and avionics. The propulsion is provided by four large engines instead of six smaller ones [see Propulsion]. But overall, it looks an awful lot like the original Valkyrie. This, of course, is the entire point; while the B-70 was obsolete as a result of its outdated radars, data links, and combat management systems, one thing that was still greatly appreciated was its blinding speed and high-altitude capability, made possible by its unique shape.

So while it looks much like the B-70, the B-95 has very little in common with it, at least in terms of actual parts. The only parts which are identical to the old plane are the adjustable nose ramp assembly, cockpit windows, landing gear assemblies, and the elevons. One major change that was implemented was in the materials used in the airframe of the B-95. The original Valkyrie used a honeycomb type skin construction, consisting of two thin sheets of stainless steel brazed to a honeycomb shaped foil in the middle, with titanium used only in high-temp areas such as the nose and engine intakes. While this arrangement did work, it was an extremely complicated and expensive manufacturing process, and any slight errors in the brazing could result in sections of the skin peeling off the aircraft at high speeds. Thus, it was decided to use titanium for the majority of the B-95’s airframe (80%) providing the strength and ability to withstand high temperatures necessary for the triple-sonic environment, while also being relatively lightweight, simpler to manufacture, and providing a more uniform structure than the honeycomb composite of the B-70. The remaining 20% of the materials used consist primarily of steel, and in some internal areas where extreme heat isn’t as much of a concern, aluminum and composites.

Armament
The primary purpose of the Valkyrie is to conduct high-speed strikes against critical infrastructure, and the new B-95 is also designed to carry out such operations. The offensive armament is carried within a weapons bay located in the lower fuselage, flanked by the massive engine intakes, with dimensions of 34 x 9 x 7 ft (10.36 x 2.74 x 2.13 m). These weapons bay dimensions prevent the B-95 from carrying the largest munitions such as the GBU-80 demolition bomb and current versions of the AGM-25 anti-ship missile, but it is quite capable of handling just about everything below them. While theoretically capable of carrying more, the maximum rated payload capacity of the B-95 is 85,000 lbs (38,555 kg). In any case, the B-95 is typically used more in a tactical sense, and is usually outfitted with stand-off range high-speed cruise missiles or hardened penetrators.

Due to the changing face in warfare since the Valkyrie’s inception, the aircraft could no longer simply hope to overfly or outrun enemy defenses, and would have to deal with long-range surface-to-air missiles and high-speed interceptor aircraft which were quite capable of intercepting the B-70. The new plane would have to be capable of defending itself against aircraft and SAM threats in a short period of time, due to the incredible closing speeds which would exist in such an environment. Close-in defensive guns were not an option, due to both the extreme speeds and their questionable usefulness, so any sort of defensive weaponry would have to be missile-based. On several recent Chevrokian strategic bombers (the B-80 and B-87), their primary means of defense was a battery of AIM-28A short-range air-to-air missiles, a slightly-modified version of the Republic Navy’s RIM-28A “rolling airframe missile” used for short-range missile defense. In those cases, the AIM-28 worked quite well due to the launch aircraft only flying at subsonic speeds. In the case of the Valkyrie, the launch aircraft would be going almost the same speed as the AIM-28 missiles it would be firing, which was clearly unacceptable if it were to be able to defend itself.

A new missile would have to be developed, which would be capable of reaching extremely high speeds in a very short period of time. It would also have to be capable of fitting within the B-95’s second weapons bay, of the dimensions 14 x 7 x 5 ft (4.27 x 2.13 x 1.52 m), located forward of the main weapons bay and just aft of the aircraft’s “nose gear.” The result, an odd, cone-shaped defensive missile, designed solely for use with the B-95, was named Skybolt.

With a huge solid-fuel rocket engine generating 49,000 lbs (22,226 kg) of thrust, the Skybolt has phenomenal acceleration and speed. Undergoing an acceleration magnitude of 70 G, Skybolt can accelerate from 3.00 Mach, just below the B-95’s max cruising speed, to a terminal velocity of 10.00 Mach in just five seconds. The maximum range of the missile is 18 miles (29 km), with a total flight time of about ten seconds. Guided to its target by the B-95’s avionics suite [see Avionics], target destruction is ensured by the M335 blast-fragmentation warhead, featuring 15 lb (6.8 kg) of PBXN-3 high explosives wrapped with 450 156-grain titanium cubes, and detonated by a proximity fuse.

Propulsion
Providing propulsion for the B-95 are four J-137-Mk1 turbo-ramfan engines, also manufactured by CAe at their Propulsion Systems Division. Also powering the upcoming B-85 Defiant and F-71 Excalibur aircraft, the J-137 is mostly an enlargement of the J-115 that powered the old Chevrokian Valkyries and many tactical aircraft, and can trace the basic design concept back to the J-58 in the SR-71 recon plane. The core of the J-137 is an afterburning, low-bypass turbofan plant, featuring an axial flow compressor with three fan stages and nine compressor stages, a turbine with two low- and two high-pressure stages, and a bypass ratio of 0.45:1. The J-137 is capable of generating 45,000 lbs (20,412 kg) of thrust on military power, increasing to 73,000 lbs (33,112 kg) of thrust on afterburner. At an operational altitude of 85,000 ft (25,908 m), the maximum “cruise” speed of the B-95 is 3.10 Mach, at which point the ramjet section of the J-137 is generating 80% of the thrust necessary for flight. The maximum rated speed of the B-95 is 3.50 Mach, above which exists the possibility of substantial structural strain and engine flame-outs.

Avionics
One area in which significant advances and improvements were made to the B-95 over the old Chevrokian Valkyries is avionics.

A particular advancement is the introduction of a fly-by-wire system for the Valkyrie’s control surfaces. A persistent annoyance which had existed throughout the B-70’s lifespan was that of pitch oscillations at triple-sonic speeds, where even a miniscule pressure on the controls could result in significant rate of climb or descent. In several unfortunate incidents, inexperienced Bomber Command pilots over-corrected for such pitch oscillations, leading to rapid overstress of the airframe and the break-up of the aircraft in flight, each time with none of the crew surviving. When work was begun for a successor to the B-70, a fly-by-wire system was envisioned as being the solution to both the pitch oscillations and airframe overstress due to pilot error. A test mule Valkyrie was fitted with a prototype fly-by-wire system and, under the designation YB-70G, conducted extensive test flights to determine the likely performance of such a system. In fact, the fly-by-wire system worked much better than expected, with the pitch oscillations eliminated entirely thanks to the system’s ability to change inputs to the control surfaces thousands of times per second. The new Valkyrie handles very precisely due to the fly-by-wire system working in conjunction with the aircraft’s six-piece elevons and forward canards. Further, the computer controller can place limits on control inputs depending on aircraft speed, so as to avoid overstress of the airframe.

The brains of any modern combat aircraft is it’s radar and associated systems, and the B-95 features a very powerful avionics suite. At the center is the AN/APQ-115 active phased array radar, a version of the AN/APG-108 with a primary focus on attacking surface targets, while retaining a secondary air-to-air role. The APQ-115 features an elliptical antenna array comprised of 2000 transmitter/receiver modules and is capable of scanning a field of view of 120 degrees nearly instantaneously. The tracking range of the APQ-115 set is 200 miles (322 km) for large targets, and has a radar warning receiver range of 300 miles (483 km). Using a modified version of the APG-108’s Target Recognition System (TRS), and tied in with feed from the AN/AVQ-12 electro-optical and AN/AAQ-25 thermal imaging cameras, the B-95 can generate a three-dimensional view of a particular target of interest. Using targeting information preprogrammed into the control computer as well as live feed from the B-95’s own radar, orbiting satellites, naval vessels, ground forces, and other sources, the AN/ASQ-182 Offensive Management System (OMS) can designate up to 50 separate targets for attack by the B-95’s available munitions. Additionally, when operating with other B-95s, the OMS can ensure that no two aircraft are attacking the exact same target, unless this is desired. In a high-threat environment, the B-95 relies on its AN/ASQ-190 Defensive Management System (DMS) to designate up to 50 separate targets and determine which pose the greatest threat to the aircraft’s survival. Without needing human command, the DMS can respond immediately to the most serious threats, typically SAMs and interceptors, by firing any of the B-95’s six AIM-44 Skybolt missiles. Many other defensive avionics and countermeasures are tied into the DMS, including the AN/ALQ-135 radar warning and electronic countermeasures suite, the AN/ALQ-137 false target generator, and infrared flare and chaff dispensers.

1. Well, this certainly isn't a conventional missile, and to build it with such a powerful engine and with materials capable of withstanding Mach 10 flight isn't going to be cheap. It is still probably a bit expensive, though, I'll bring it down to $1.25 million, unless that's still too expensive.

2. Certainly not, in fact, 49,000 lbs-thrust is what is required to propel it from Mach 3 to Mach 10 in five seconds. Also, the AIM-44 is essentially a shrunken-down version of a real-life missile (Sprint (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_missile)), which weighed 7,700 lbs and had 650,000 lbs-thrust, an even greater thrust/weight ratio.

3. It isn't just for use against hostile fighters, but SAMs as well. I suppose it doesn't absolutely have to go Mach 10, but that was the operational specs I decided to go with simply for the purpose of rapid defense. This design did go through the Draftroom, too.

4. It is certainly the maximum range. Perhaps I should edit that.

The "Sprint" is anti-ballistic missile, and yours is AAM (Air-Air missile), they have entirely different proposes.

The "Sprint" is anti-ballistic missile, and yours is AAM (Air-Air missile), they have entirely different proposes.

In this case, the difference isn't that great.

The Sprint is designed to intercept non-manuvering but incredibly fast moving targets (Reentry Vehicles) in a very short period of time, and has to do so by accelerating to Mach 10 from standing still on the ground.

The AIM-44 is designed to intercept vehicles moving at similar or somewhat higher speeds compared to its launch platform (B-95), so the closing speeds aren't going to be nearly as high as Sprint. Since their speeds are lower, their change in position is not going to be quite as much over a given length of time, thus, it should be easier to make the intercept. Said targets may have some degree of manuverability compared to RVs, but not much; remember, aerodynamics works both ways.

To be quite honest, the AIM-44 is intended for a very specific operational use. It's not a dogfighting missile, and it's not very useful at lower altitudes. It's sole purpose is as a defensive missile for the B-95, to be used against targets (interceptors and SAMs) at or near it's normal operating altitudes (figure between 75,000 and 100,000 ft).
