The G-20 is a rotating breech operated bull-pup Battle Rifle (similar to G-11 series) firing the caseless 7mm round that was standardized by Mondothian Armed forces with the G-11A2 series of infantry weapons. The G-20 features many of the advantages of its predecessors, including the floating action that results in dramatically decreased perceived recoil enabling the rifle to fire extremely accurately at high rates of fire. The G-20 also features the G-11’s precision machined trigger assembly for improved pull and accuracy over traditional bull-pup weapons. In field tests the G-20 has proven itself to be an able contender, light and durable as well as easy to maintain and powerful.
Unlike the primarily plastic G-11 series however, the G-20 is constructed mainly of polymer coated composites for sturdiness and low maintenance with titanium-steel alloy where necessary, the combination of materials makes the G-20 a much more durable weapon than its predecessors while remaining light and full-featured.
The G-20 is fitted with picatinny type rails along the upper barrel and carrying handle for accessories including electronic and optical sights. As well as under the barrel for under-barrel weapons such as grenade launchers and shot-guns
The G-20 marks Mondoth’s departure from traditional Assault Rifles and is Mondoth’s first purpose built battle-rifle, delivering a combination of power and accuracy to the warfighter that assault rifles just can’t match.

GA-127 Merlin Shoulder Fired ATGM
Weight: 27 kg
Length: 1.3 m
Range: 2,600 m
Warhead: tandem shaped charge HEAT
Penetration: ~800mmRHAe
Guidance: Imaging Infra-red/Electro-Optical

The Merlin ATGM is one of the foremost infantry anti-armor missile systems available, it is capable of firing anti armor missiles under all weather and field conditions.
The Merlin anti armor missile is a fire and forget missile with pre-launch lock on capability, The Merlin is targeted and self-guided by an integral imaging thermal sensor. The Missile has two modes which can be easily switched in the field, the first is a top attack mode in which the missile advances towards the target at low altitude and jumps to high altitude in order to take advantage of the typically weaker upper armor on most armored vehicles, the second is a direct line-of-sight straight flight for use against bunkers and other fortified positions. The Merlin ATGM is primarily a ‘soft’ launched infantry missile launcher that can be fired from the shoulder but it can be easily vehicle mounted as well, taking advantage of a standardized control and sensory interface enabling it to accept targets from vehicle sensors. The Merlin’s command/targeting mount can be detached from the tube launcher and used for infantry surveillance missions, it incorporates imaging infrared, 4x/8x magnification light intensification scope and laser range finder/designator as well as an 4x/8x magnification natural light scope. The system is fully compatible with the LEGION infantry suite but can also be used stand alone without the LEGION system. The tube launcher is disposable and missiles utilize a ‘pre-boost ejection’ using low heat thrusters to eject from the tube prior to ignition of the primary booster for minimum recoil and ‘back flash’

ML-762 'MLAW'
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd139/PWOTsTheMan/LLAW5.png
The Mondothian Armed forces has always been somewhat leery of over-reliance on AFVs, especially with the advent of inexpensive, man portable missiles that could disable or kill even MBTs with minimal cost or effort. However, it was noted that despite the advent of such missiles, foreign powers had not abated the development or implementation of armored vehicles and it was noted with some trepidation that the 'armor deficient' Mondothian military could not easily field enough anti-tank weapons to deal with the threat and it was decided that a crash program to 'arm every soldier with an ATW' was begun. However, early in the project, this was determined to be impractical and the program goal was amended to field ATWs at the fire team and squad level while retaining the capability to field special units with complete ATW saturation.
The contract was won by a design by Legionaire Inc. a small arms company with few prior contracts that could not fulfill production requirements and was forced to sell production rights to Mondoth Arms.

Weight: 5.5kg
Length: Stowed:650mm Ready to Fire: 1015mm
Sight: non-magnifying optical sight with graduations for distance, relative speed and windage. May be fitted with more advanced optics via optics rail.

The MLAW features an M72 style collapsing tube to enable easier storage and transport. While collapsed, the tube acts as a water-tight container. To ready, the inner section must be pulled out by the attached handle, this opens the caps and arms the firing mechanism. To fire, a safety pin must be removed and a plastic cap must be removed from over the trigger housing (during initial testing, soldiers complained the housing was difficult to remove, especially with gloves, subsequently, textured indents were included to facilitate removal), then the soldier places the sight on the target, corrects for target speed, range and distance if applicable, and depresses the firing trigger.
Missile: fin-stabilized
Diameter: 76mm
Warhead: Tandem shaped charge
Penetration: ~600mm RHAe with ERA defeating capabilities
Range: total: 600m, effective: ~200m


Legion suite
The Legion suite of integrated combat systems is the most comprehensive infantry combat system yet. The genius of the system is in the back pack. Utilizing the latest advances in load bearing frames, the pack allows soldiers to maximize their combat load, integral to the pack, and the real reason LEGION is possible, is the hub; a laptop sized computer with link points for the various ‘modules’ that make up a LEGION soldiers equipment. Each module attaches to the hub which automatically regulates each module

MU-57 Centurion
The Centurion Powered Infantry suite features a comprehensive set of Ceramic Plate armor (M5 reinforced plastic layered between presses of ceramic syntactic foam, fiber glass and Boron Carbide Ceramic plates) wrapped around a frame of assistive Actuators, Servos and hydraulics that serve to increase the Soldiers strength, speed and endurance in a battlefield situation. The Centurion Suite’s assistive systems fully compensate for the additional armor and electronics weight and have enough power left over to increase a soldiers load lifting capabilities five fold and the hydraulic leg movement enhancements can increase running speed by as much as 25km/h

Additional Packages for use with Centurion:
Targe SAPS: The Targe active defense system is the same system as is currently equipped on many Mondothian military vehicles. It uses a self contained sensor package to identify incoming threats and deploy a 3kg self-maneuvering projectile to intercept and destroy the threat. The Targe system has proven highly effective against RPG and many Anti Tank Missiles.

MU-487 Mantlet
Width: .6m
Height: 1.2m
Protection: Type III
Weight: 36 kg
The Mantlet is a powerful tool for shock troops and snipers alike. Mantlet features a load bearing harness and replaces the standard load bearing Legion-pack. In use, Mantlet offers free-standing, mobile cover from enemy fire and artillery shrapnel to shock troops and snipers. For concealment, Mantlet absorbs MMW radar and is opaque to IR imaging. Mantlet also features a Ghillie type covering for optical concealment. In the field, mantlet has a left and right hand firing slots to enable the warfighter to fire from a stable position without over exposure to enemy fire.

MT-83 Main Battle Tank (Kodiak)
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd139/PWOTsTheMan/mt83kodiakTankfin.png
NSDraftroom (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=2034)
While the Mondothian Military has traditionally never been fond of Main Battle Tanks, Mondoth Arms co. (now a subsidy of the Drako Conglomerate) felt that it was important for the company to maintain a presence in international armor markets and commissioned the design of a new main battle tank primarily for export markets. However, while it was initially believed that the new design would not be of great importance to Mondoth Arms' economic future, midway through the program, rumors of acquisition by the growing Drako Conglomerate initiated a series of project reforms aimed at making the company more desirable for acquisition, including the reassignment of several experienced project designers to new projects, and younger designers to the MT-83 project. The result of the reassignments was that while a solid, conservative basic outline had been established, younger minds were put to work on it and the project quickly transformed from a 'current generation' tank into a 'next generation' armored platform. It was during these radical design changes that it was decided to exchange the Diesel for a Diesel/Electric Hybrid drive train, to begin development and implement the MD-35 Multiple Aspect Protection System, To use the newly developed MG-115 high velocity ETC gun, and various other upgrades over other main battle tanks were implemented.

The Kodiak is a powerful Main Battle Tank capable of moving fast over a large number of rough terrains, surviving against powerful enemy weapons and retaliating quickly and accurately. The Kodiak utilizes revolutionary ‘drive by light’ fiber optic controls which give it unprecedented flexibility and ease of repair while minimizing problems caused by electronic or traditional mechanical controls. The Kodiak utilizes a state of the art Auto loader that stores all ammunition outside the crew compartments to minimize the dangers of accidental detonation of ammunition. The Bustle mounted autoloader features blow out panels and an easy reloading design that minimizes time spent outside the tank, it holds 30 ready rounds and is capable of switching between all 30 rounds, enabling it to handle up to 30 different kinds of ammunition for the main gun.

Crew Accommodation:
The three crew members sit in specially designed, comfortable seats with all relevant controls and displays easily adjustable and within reach for maximum ergonomics and efficiency. The commander’s station is located on the right side of the turret, and includes an armored cupola with 360 degree view, independent thermal and day sights with laser designator/range-finder and multipurpose displays for command and coordination. The gunner's station is located low in the turret basket, while this position lowers the gunners awareness, in was felt necessary to decrease the turret size and maximize protection without sacrificing weight, the gunner's station includes a periscope with thermal and day sights, a bore-line sight, laser designator/range-finder and multipurpose displays with views from multiple camera angles. The driver's station includes an armored cupola with 200 degree view, and multipurpose displays with views from multiple camera angles, including rear and side views for increased driver awareness, especially in urban environments and tight formations.
In addition to comfortable, articulated seating, crew comfort is provided by designing air conditioning and humidity control capabilities in to the air handling/purifying systems. No small amount of importance was placed on the systems ability to cool the air inside the tank acceptably, given that heat is often cited by tank crews as a major factor in operational deficiencies, especially given the predisposition of conflicts where armor is a major deciding factor to occur in hot climates. Additionally, the Kodiak has provisions for delivering up to twelve liters of heated or cooled water to crew stations, which can easily be used for refreshment in the case of cooled water, or for a variety of uses in the case of heated water, such as brewing coffee or tea, sanitary purposes, or for use with certain rations that may require heated water for proper preparation.

Environmental Protection:
Mondoth has long been at the forefront of NBC protection systems and the Kodiak's environmental suite is no exception. An over pressurization system draws air from a number of vents and passes it through a comprehensive purification system including filters and filter-less systems to defend against most environmental threats including 'designer' chemical weapons that can clog, bypass or otherwise destroy conventional filter systems. The air purification modules are preceded and followed by UV light purification systems. Hatches are an important entry and exit point both for people and potentially contaminated air, and sealing them during an NBC situation can reduce a vehicles combat effectiveness. Therefore, the rear crew hatch in the Kodiak has a specially designed bivouac airlock nearby which can be quickly and easily attached while the hatch is closed. When attached, these fittings can allow soldiers in and out without passing contaminated air into the vehicle, a bivouac is also available for the commander’s hatch which can be used with the commander’s NBC suit to allow the commander to survey a contaminated battlefield with minimal impediment or environmental risk. Each bivouac has attachments for hoses from an MN-1288 contamination cleansing system that can be carried outside the tank and allow protection from persistent and radiological threats for soldiers passing through the airlock.

ME-980A2 Diesel/Hybrid power train
The ME-980A2 is a next generation hybrid power plant using twin linked, high powered brush less electric motors to provide propulsion, powered by the same high performance diesel power plant used in the Gorilla IFV’s ME-980 Hybrid electric drive. Unlike the Gorilla’s hybrid drive however, the A2's high powered electric drive motors are decoupled from the battery pack by a battery of ultra-capacitors that provides a buffer for short term/high power operations and regenerative breaking, using this system, the Kodiak can go from a cold start to it’s maximum speed in a surprisingly short amount of time, finally leaving tankers without a reason to avoid turning the engine off while hull down to decrease fuel consumption and lower heat signatures. At Maximum output, the ME-980A2 develops 1800BHP, which is delivered to the tracks via an Electrically Variable Transmission linked the electrical drive motors and Diesel power plant for maximum power and efficiency.
MC-2021 'Shade III' Communication Suite
Shade III is the latest version of the shade series of land-based inter-vehicle communications which turns the vehicle into an element of a battlefield command and control network enabling enhanced communication among individual units, command structures and logistics elements yielding a general improvement in battlefield effectiveness, increase in operational tempo and a more flexible, adaptive command structure.
The hardware of the Shade III system consists first of a high-powered networking hub that acts as a router between on-board command assets and the wider shade III battlefield network, connected via frequency agile, modulated radio system supporting modular cryptographic systems including the Mondothian 'anansi' time-sensitive cryptographic package. The on-board command assets include multi-function commander’s and gunner's displays for showing tactical and strategic maps, target designations, text communications and other visual information, as well as the capability to connect with crew radios facilitating easy intra- and inter- vehicle voice communication. The Networking hub itself also supports wired and wire-less networking standards, allowing considerable flexibility in battlefield communications. Due to this flexibility, it is possible to use shade III as a LAN hub for personal laptops in the field, and, when connected to a suitable network, allows such connected computers to access the internet. This feature was initially seen as a potential liability and an unwanted consequence of including a large number of civilian communications protocols, but was eventually kept as a potential moral boost, though the shade III firewall was subsequently re-written to allow command elements to restrict networking with personal computers as wanted.
In addition to simple command and leisure networking and communications, shade III allows vehicles to pass targeting information, video feeds and images to other vehicles, enabling targets spotted by one vehicle to be engaged by another as well a facilitating greater levels of inter-vehicle communication and cooperation. As well as enabling easy compatibility with infantry.

MO-387 'Warfighter' Fire control and Awareness Suite
The Warfighter Fire-control and awareness suite is the eyes and ears of the Kodiak, it links the vehicles sensors into a cohesive whole giving the crew a much clearer and more comprehensive view of the battlefield. The Warfighter sensors include the commander and gunner's independent sights, making each available to the other, as well as each laser designator/range finder, the mast mounted sensors, the gunners bore-line sight, as well as information from suitably equipped ATGMs and FFMs. In addition Warfighter includes a passive optical coincidence range-finder, enabling the crew to passively establish ranges for a variety of purposes, such as orientation to verify, or in the absence of GPS information, establishing lines and field of fire in ambush situation, or otherwise establishing firing solutions in situations where detection via laser range-finders in undesirable.
The Fire-Control elements are designed to significantly decrease engagement times, allowing the commander and gunner to easily collaborate on target selection and engagement and allow automatic turret slew to the next designated target.

MD-35 Buckler MAPS
Concurrent with the development of the Kodiak's armor package, it was felt that a comprehensive upgrade package would need to be developed in order to keep pace with advancements to anti-armor weaponry and techniques during the Kodiak's foreseen service life, for this a suite of passive and active defenses was decided on that would provide all aspect protection from a variety of threat vectors including laser guided missiles and unguided RPG style threats. The Buckler system acts as a comprehensive active defense suite that allows vehicles it is mounted on to easily engage all suitable threats with a single system.
Sensory: Four phased Ka band radar panel antennae, three thermal imaging sensors, six laser designator detection panels
Detection range: 70-100 meters avg.
Weapon: three directional units with four 3kg. munitions ea.
Other Countermeasures: Three IR beacons, other vehicle mounted countermeasures
Engagement Range: 8-15 meters avg.
Coverage: 360 deg.
Response time: 150-205ms avg.
Total system weight: 550kg
The Heart of the Buckler system is it’s active component, the three directional units are turret mounted and have a very high slew rate of over 700 deg/sec enabling even a single unit to effectively engage threats from any axis with minimal degradation of capability (engagement times can increase to over 350ms under this, suboptimal condition, still fast enough to defeat many threats) the munition itself is a 3kg semi-guided shaped charge fragmenting device capable of attacking threats up to thirty deg. Off axis from the launch unit to further decrease engagement times, the directed fragmentation stream from the munition was designed to statistically ensure the greatest chance of a target destruction while minimizing collateral damage to equipment and people.
However, unlike most other Active Protection Systems, Buckler isn’t all about target interception, but includes ‘soft kill’ and damage minimizing systems as well, such as the IR beacons capable of confusing most optically tracked weapon systems, which can also be used in conjunction with IR/Thermal flares in the Kodiak's conventional grenade tubes to similar effect in environments where lighting up the tank with IR beacons may be unusually dangerous. In the event a buckler equipped tank is attacked with enough time to react (such as being laser designated) the commander can trigger an emergency turret slew to meet the oncoming threat with the heaviest armor and potential engage the missile (or laser) source with the main or coaxial guns.


MD-36 Targe SAPS
As part of the MD-35 'Buckler' program, a lighter-weight, modular system was developed with the capability to engage a limited number of aspects and defend against a large number of projectile threats. This system is entirely self contained and capable of being easily mounted on any vehicle to defend against one or two threat-direction per-unit.
Sensory: Self contained RF band sensor in munition nose
Detection Range: 60-90 meters avg.
Weapon: 2-6 non-directional, limited maneuverability munitions per unit.
Engagement Range: 3-8 meters avg.
Coverage: 90-180 deg.
Response Time: 110-200 ms avg.
Total System Weight: 135 kg.
The Targe system is a simple, light-weight, modular system designed to be used on utility and other relatively 'unprotected' vehicles in the war-zone by providing an easy-to-install active protection unit. The basic component of the system is a self-contained counter-munition with it's own detection system capable of being launched from standard grenade tubes or a specially designed mount for optimum coverage.

The gorilla the workhorse of Mondoth's ground forces, designed to support and transport infantry into combat situations while engaging and destroying enemy armor. The gorilla emphasizes mobility and flexibility, the powerful hybrid powertrain delivers lots of power to the tracks via electronically variable transmission, improving fuel efficiency and mobility. For flexibility, the Gorilla is designed to be highly modular, with easily field swappable internals and compatibility with a large number of Mondothian weapons systems, allowing the MV-29 chassis to perform a large number of roles.
The Gorilla is a modern fighting vehicle meant to take the war to the enemy in any circumstances, equipped with a modular turret that allows a relatively easy alteration of roles; the Gorilla can operate under the most adverse of circumstances. The Gorilla is armored with a foundation layer of welded aluminum allow and RHA that provides baisc defense against 12.7mm AP rounds and is compatible with appliqué ceramic and composite armor kits that can provide further protection against up to 30mm or 40mm AP rounds, it also includes the ability to be fitted with add-on armor packages such as explosive Reactive armor and/or Slat armor to enhance survivability against anti-armor missiles and HEAT rounds.

Gorilla Variants:
MV-29A2
Incorporates numerous upgrades, such as improved support for modular armor packages to improve protection and survivability, as well as replacing the 25mm cannon with a more powerful 40mm one and the ME-980A2 power train upgrade which buffers the power-plant output with a battery of ultra-capacitors that provides a buffer for short term/high power operations and regenerative breaking, using this system, the gorilla can go from a cold start to it’s maximum speed in a surprisingly short amount of time.

Ammunition is stored in the vehicle interior and is accessible to the rotating magazine autoloader (40 rounds 105mm, 30 rounds 155mm). The Gun system is highly automated, allowing for rapid and precise engagements. vehicle weight becomes 30.4 tons and crew requirement becomes 5 (driver, commander, 3 gun operators, thought he gun may be operated by 1 in an emergency situation)

MV-29 LRAS
The LRAS is the Light Rocket Artillery variant of the Gorilla IFV, the entire turret assembly is replaced with a 24 tube MLRS launcher capable of firing salvos of 225mm rockets up to ten km (unguided) or 20+km (guided). The LRAS can deliver a devastating variety of weapons in high-speed salvoes capable of saturating the enemy lines. The Rocket warheards include Thermobaric FAE, HE guided and unguided, and sub-munition disbursing.
Vehicle weight increases to 29.9 tons,

MV-29 LAAD (Labrador)
The Labrador is the Light Ani-Air-Deffense variant of the Gorilla IFV, it replaces the turret assembly with a lightweight, high-speed traversing turret armed with a 25mm mini-gun with a large vertical traverse capability for engaging airborne targets, twin boxed quad launchers for MRM-2340 'Peregrine' Rolling Airframe short-range air-defense missiles and an ASY-12 air-search/targeting radar/IIR sensor suite.
The LAADA2 replaces the cannon with additional missile box launchers.

All Variants may be upgraded to A2 standards, including the new power-train


ME-980 Diesel/Hybrid power train
The ME-980 is a next generation hybrid power plant using twin linked, high powered brush less electric motors to provide propulsion, powered by a high performance diesel power plant.. At Maximum output, the ME-980 develops 650BHP, which is delivered to the tracks via an Electrically Variable Transmission linked the electrical drive motors and Diesel power plant for maximum power and efficiency.

MD-36 Targe SAPS
As part of the MD-35 'Buckler' program, a lighter-weight, modular system was developed with the capability to engage a limited number of aspects and defend against a large number of projectile threats. This system is entirely self contained and capable of being easily mounted on any vehicle to defend against one or two threat-direction per-unit.
Sensory: Self contained RF band sensor in munition nose
Detection Range: 60-90 meters avg.
Weapon: 2-6 non-directional, limited maneuverability munitions per unit.
Engagement Range: 3-8 meters avg.
Coverage: 90-180 deg.
Response Time: 110-200 ms avg.
Total System Weight: 135 kg.
The Targe system is a simple, light-weight, modular system designed to be used on utility and other relatively 'unprotected' vehicles in the war-zone by providing an easy-to-install active protection unit. The basic component of the system is a self-contained counter-munition with it's own detection system capable of being launched from standard grenade tubes or a specially designed mount for optimum coverage.

Most of the rest is pretty much equivalent to the MT-83. I'm also considering other variants, and am writing up some others (like a command version). I'm open to variant suggestions too.

The Trebuchet
The Trebuchet is a state of the art weapon system designed to provide long range, indirect fire support to Mondothian forces with a high degree of accuracy and saturation. Based on the MT-83 Chassis, the Trebuchet is a high mobility platform easily capable of keeping up with the advance and firing on the move with guided ammunition thanks to a stabilized turret assembly providing accurate firepower with minimal risk from enemy counter-battery assets. The Trebuchet is also capable of mounting counter-battery radar system to engage enemy counter-battery units.
Like other Mondothian fighting vehicles,the Trebuchet is equipped with the Shade-III battlefield communications suite, enabling the Trebuchet to operate in the network-centric battlefield as a highly flexible asset. Shade-III allows the Trebuchet to execute fire missions quickly by directly and wirelessly accessing information generated by forward observers and commanders to increase the operational tempo at every step.
For defense, the Trebuchet is equipped with a 15.5mm RWS and MD-35 Buckler Multi-Aspect-Protection-System and is armored against up to 15.5mm AP ammo.
The Trebuchet features an automatic gun operation and loading system enabling a high rate of fire including multiple-round, simultaneous-impact (TOT) strikes of up to five rounds. And a liquid cooled barrel shroud which simultaneously lowers firing signature and extends barrel life

The Ballista
While the Trebuchet platform is a powerful artillery asset, it's size and weight make it difficult to transport in some situations, especially by air, So the Ballista was commissioned as a high-mobility solution. The Ballista achieves the same high level of firepower by mounting the MG-1230 cannon on a 6x6 truck platform, which reduces weight and dimenstion enabling the Ballista to be transported by Mondothian Tactical air-lift units. The Ballista incorporates most of the key features of the trebuchet, but sacrifices stabilized on-the-move firing capabilities and protection (the Ballista is fitted with the Targe Single-Aspect-Protection-System rather than the more comprehensive Buckler MAPS as well as the fact that only the truck cabin is significantly armored) for tactical and strategic mobility.

When the SF-41 air superiority fighter first saw combat against next generation enemy aircraft, the Mondothian Air-force knew that it needed a new fighter. However with so many fighter designs already in production for Mondothian forces, it was felt that attempts should be made to reduce the number of new airframes put into service. The Ministry of Defense took their concerns to Shrak Aeronautics and the engineers at Shrak knew there was only one place to turn, the SX-24. Still technically an experimental aircraft despite seeing widespread Mondothian service as a strike fighter, the SX-24 had been ahead of its time, and indeed, several next-gen options were already available from continued experimentation with the design. Utilizing advanced computer assisted design tools, the Engineers at Shrak were able to use information from previous air battles, as well as input from pilots who had flown the SX-24 in and out of combat situations to create a Next generation Air superiority/multi-role fighter aircraft uniquely suited to the challenges of facing the latest generation enemy aircraft. The F/A-24 multi-role air superiority fighter eschews the exotic engines and clichéd airframes of the latest generation of fighters for a simple and yet shockingly effective configuration including high performance High Bypass Methane Injecting TurboJets for improved capability at all altitudes and speeds without the complication of combined RAMFan designs. The up-turned wings and lack of a tail surface create a low RCS while still allowing high speed flight denied by some RAMs and forward swept wings while avoiding the complication of variable sweep wing designs. The high level of aerodynamic instability created by the design takes full advantage of the high thrust levels in allowing the F/A-24 to have an unprecedented level of maneuverability among even exotic airframe designs, leaving the Kestrel at the height of modern Air to Air combat.
