CL-32 Buitre (Caza de Superioridad Aérea Leve)

Quick Overview

The CSAL-32 Buitre is a 5.5th generation stealth multirole fighter focused on air superiority and limited point-defense interception, engineered for a balance between maneuverability and speed, and also emphasized on information awareness, ease of maintenance and the capability of taking off from public roads and less than optimal runways. It was uniquely shaped to offer suitable performance for its mission profile, and it is powered by the latest, environmentally-friendly propulsion technologies. For interception, it can fly with a considerably large quantity of armament, including besides a twin-barreled 20mm revolver autocannon, four to eight missiles, from which four are internally mounted and, at the expense of stealth, either two larger or four smaller ones can be externally mounted. It uses a passive radar as its main targeting system, although newer versions have an active radar capability as well, and can fire two missiles simultaneously against two different targets.

History

It would take a few decades for Third Spanish States aerospace sector to finally consolidate and have the needed infrastructure to start the research and development of indigenous aircraft technologies that would be compatible with the tactical, strategical and operational needs specific to the Confederacy unusual take on military tactics.

The MilNet, the virtual command of Third Spanish States military forces, never has found a fighter capable of fulfilling the need of being a relatively cost-effective platform, with the flexibility of the capability of short take-off and landing and much of the capabilities of a stealth aircraft and capable of taking the roles of both air superiority and point-defense interception, focused on the former and having the latter as a secondary role. For air superiority was as important as naval superiority in the geographical conditions of the Confederacy, as a nation situated in a large island in the middle of the Atlantic North.

In 2027, the phase-out of the F-22 Raptor production after several political-economical issues regarding its lack of cost-efficiency compared to the much cheaper and flexible F-35 Lightning II were the opportunities that allowed the import of a few hundreds of such aircrafts as a temporary measure before the development of native aircraft technology could finally take solid steps for a reduced price, being still on the pre-design stage by then. It was worth the cost, and thanks to the lack of an official endorsement of an economic system by then, coupled with the birth of new totalitarian socialist States, the United States government agreed into selling those aircrafts to Third Spanish States, coupled with a batch of American technology which was previously planned to be sold to Spain, which for now had fallen under a decadent socialist dictatorship, thus ignoring the possible ideological incompatibilities between both nations.

Stealth was always only a bonus that came a few years before the first prototypes of aerial technology would be built, and how the Confederacy managed to develop such technology in a relatively small time frame is considered a veiled secret, which as expected is adorned by all sorts of rumors, from the conspiracy theory that it was a "gift" given to the more private members of the MilNet after a cabal organized with an United States Shadow Government, rumors of a massive espionage operation which "acquired" such technology to even claims Third Spanish States stealth technology came from the reverse-engineering of a flying saucer, while some a little more reasonable "conspiracy theories" claim that the Confederacy simply reverse-engineered the F-22 in secrecy. However the brilliance, lack of bureaucracy and ideological motivation of the AEROCON and MTI scientists are much more plausible causes to such breakthrough.

With this necessity in mind, and an increasing will of having a purely homegrown military technology among its soldiers and think-tanks, by 2034, two projects were done, having entirely self-designed technologies, in the CLEX-31(Caza Leve EXperimental, Type 3: Air Superiority, 1st Build), sponsored by the AEROCON Confederación de las Industrías Aéreas, which was a very expensive but lightweight flying wing aircraft with a full stealth configuration built as an equivalent of the F-22 Raptor regarding most performance except for maneuverability, using twin, experimental turbofans which coupled had about 18,000 kg of wet thrust and a Thrust/Weight ratio of about 0.85, and with an stealth technology closer to that of a B-2 Spirit. However, no matter how it drew innovative concepts like the limited drop cold launch system with 4 internal hardpoints, which basic idea was to drop missiles like if they were bombs, to have their thrusters only activated after they were at a significantly different height from the aircraft, the development of Third Spanish States first passive Radar coupled target identification system and a highly complex vectored thrust system. As expected, it ended being discarded due to lacking the needed mobility for an effective air superiority fighter and due to its prohibitive costs and need of dedicated maintenance facilities, besides lengthy maintenance operations.

The same did not happen with the CLEX-32(Caza Leve EXperimental, Type 3: Air Superiority, 2nd Build), which took its maiden flight in 2036, and was initially built with cropped delta-wings and leading edge extensions, like the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and with only two external pylons for missiles like the F-20 Tigershark. It was initially intended to be a cheap and light air superiority fighter with a very low radar cross section focused mostly on local defense. However, the natural economy of scale advantages and unexpected growth of the aerospace industry, and logical increase of production capabilities, led its development into, not much differently from the leap from the lightweight fighter program to the F-16 in the United States, the design of a fighter which instead of being a light fighter is more or less in the blurred line which divides a lightweight fighter from a medium fighter, although officially belonging to the former: the CL-32(Caza Leve, Type 3, 2nd Build), also known as the CSAL-32, or simply as the CSAL(Caza de Superioridad Aérea Leve), it eventually has settled under the denomination of CSAL-32 Buitre("Vulture"), name suggested after that, during a flight demonstration, one of the CSALs, against all odds, collided against a common buzzard during a low altitude flight, and it was decided to give them such title as a posthumous honor to the poor creature.

In 2038, the CSAL-32 Buitre, different from the CLEX-31, was built with a much more cost-effective and much less sensitive structure to elements like weather and natural depreciation, instead being built over the challenge of designing an aircraft which least radar cross section as possible without resorting to sensitive, excessively maintenance intensive materials, and which pretty much would reach its possible limits for maximum speed while seeking to balance speed with maneuverability, and having a much higher Thrust/Weight ratio than the CLEX-31. However many features of the CLEX-31, specially its "drop cold launch system" and the passive radar technology it served as a demonstrator of, were inherited and further improved, leading it to become the primary and most common fighter and workhouse of Third Spanish States Air Force and the literal "People's Fighter", for the reason some cooperatives actively maintain a few small fleets of them in their collectively owned private airports, and offer training courses for militias to pilot them, in what consists in yet another unusual face of Third Spanish States culture where sometimes it's difficult to separate what is civilian and what is military.

Regarding more trivial matters of its reputation, typical in a place like the Confederacy, one of the oldest running jokes about the CSAL-32 is the claim that it could be refueled in a gas station, which led to it become a popular theme of image macros in Third Spanish States' Internets, and it has a glimpse of truth despite its obviously exaggerated and sardonic tone, for a mock propaganda calling all gas station cooperatives to provide available jet biofuel, like for example Tecbio among others, might be taken more seriously than it would be expected to be.

Airframe

The CSAL planform was built over a new concept of airframe the Milnet Tucker Institute have suggested and developed, as an entirely unique combination of a tail-less cranked arrow delta wing with an unstable canard design, designed primary for the role of air superiority, but with enough stability for flying beyond MACH 2 at the expense of operational range if needed, which gives to the CSAL its excellent take-off and landing performance required for the short take-off and landing requirements, combined with the capability of taking off from rugged dirt paths, highways and roads, for the objectives of stealth and flexibility it was built upon, while its unique configuration adds some new possibilities for the fighter pilot. For like the forerunner of the pure cranked arrow concept, the F16XL "Cranked Arrow", which replaces what would be otherwise the rear horizontal control surfaces, it also features improvements on the lift-to-drag ratio for both subsonic and supersonic speeds compared to a conventional delta-wing, and also can be handled much smoothly than it would otherwise, while it can stand to climb to a much higher service ceiling which puts close to the performance capabilities of the Electric Lightning, while during flight tests with some of the more experienced pilots, Mário Azanã has managed to climb it to an height of about 28,000 meters, providing it with the necessary maximum ceiling to, when tactically possible, bypass primitive air defense systems of anarchronistic police States. These performance features, coupled with its agility, quite important for its intended role of being capable of performing surprise, "hit-and-run" strikes with both short, medium or long range missiles against enemy formations and for overall air superiority in a world where new technologies are growing substantially, make from its unique airframe an optimal choice for the air-to-air dedicated air superiority and interception roles it was built for, while the enlarged wing also allows it to have a slightly larger number of hardpoints. And not only high altitude flight was one the results of the final CSAL, but also an excellent performance for the usually more tactically interesting low altitude flight it was also built for.

The unstable canards alone would never give to the CSAL the needed lift performance for the short take-off and landing capability it was designed to have. The primary means by which such capability which perhaps only it has as a modern air superiority fighter is instead achieved by the way its turbofan was placed and patterned, halfly buried over the tail, which somewhat resembles the structure of a flying wing for it is placed between and above the wings like the fans of blended wing aircrafts, rather than extruding from them, being capable of operate under the advantages of the Coandă effect by "bending down" the airflow moving over the final, central edge of the cranked arrow delta wing surrounding it through its curved, adaptable surface.

Compared to the JAS 39 Gripen, it has a somewhat larger wing area due to its cranked arrow design and also was built with a more resistant and larger airframe and a lengthened fuselage, with a larger length:wingspan ratio justified by its secondary role to increase performance at higher speeds and due to the fact it combines a canard with a cranked arrow delta wing.

Structurally, in face of its requirement of stealth, it was, as a first procedure, built with planform alignment, and its canards are usually, during flight, at the same angle of its delta wing edges, for example, and there is an overall small number of orientations in the shape of its structure, with the leading edges of the wing and of the tail also set at the same angle, and many other structures also sharing the the same angle, which would make it, if such was the only stealth feature it was built with, to give a radar signal in a very specific direction away from the emitter rather than returning a signal detectable at many angles. However, it also features its turbofan partly buried slightly above the wing, as previously mentioned, while its exhaust port has a serration, not much different from those of the turbofans of the YF-23, which serves both as another re-entrant triangle and as an element of its planform alignment, while internally it features re-entrant triangles behind its skin to trap radar waves capable of penetrating it. Although this shaping brings negative influence over its aerodynamic properties, its avionics, which shall be furthered later, were tailored for addressing such issue.

Equally as a structural need, it had to address to the challenge of being built with a stealth technology to achieve a comparable or inferior radar cross-section to that of a F-22 Raptor, while its materials should not be as maintenance intensive as the radar absorbent materials of fighters like the F-22 Raptor. Instead, it should be built with a new stealth technology in both conventional and radar-absorbing materials which sought to solve or mitigate the disadvantage of the maintenance-intensive nature of most radar absorbing materials, which was not acceptable according to the "Aerial Asymmetric Warfare Guidelines" of the Revolutionary Air Force. Considering the success and reliability, coupled with their lighter weight, all the metallic components of its frame were built with an alumina-silica aluminum metal matrix composite, a material technology which was becoming quite commonplace in the Confederacy, being already used for naval and small arms fabrication which was now giving its first ways in aircraft production and becoming increasingly cheaper due to economies of scale from its continual production, research and development, and potentially improvable in the near to medium future with further developments of nanotechnology predicted to take place at least two decades from now. On the other hand, a dielectric fiberglass composite also is involved in parts of its frame, coated with a light refraction layer which also reduces drastically the cross section of some bleeding-edge technologies like LIDAR and LADAR, being technically less efficient for detecting its presence. Taking an improvement over the Foam absorber concept, it has both anechoic chambers with long pyramids of carbon and sheets with increasing gradients of carbon black covering its entire internal frame to capture the radar waves which penetrate its composite skin and which were not absorbed by its re-entrant triangles. A Jaumann layer was suggested, but due to the fact it uses wave interfering to cancel the radar wave, it was considered too easy to be defeated by modern detection systems to be applied for it was limited for bypassing only a specific type of detection system. The overall ruggedness of its frame and lack of the more weather sensitive, maintenance-intensive and extremely expensive radar absorbing materials that aircrafts like the B-2 Spirit have in their construction makes it a much more maintenance-easy aircraft compared to other stealth aircrafts, including the F-22 Raptor.

Another, quite curious detail and unique feature, which is similar in certain ways to the most advanced Confederacy's land based combat developments, and related to its avionics, is the presence of small seamless and tiny spaces in the airframe at five points: in behind and slightly above its turbofan, in the left and right from the middle of its fuselage, in its belly, behind the internal bay and in its fuselage roof, which are usually fitted with indium tin oxide coated cameras to not compromise in any way its stealth capabilities, an idea which was inherited and adapted from land based designs built for the computer-assisted visual awareness design doctrine.

Cockpit


http://oneapiprod.synnex.com/image_technote/I35108046.jpg
Image 1: Non-aircraft heads-left display

The CSAL Buitre's cockpit is fitted with a bullet and impact proof canopy built of the new, aluminum oxynitride transparent bullet-proof and impact-resistance armor, which offers the same resistance of a canopy built of layered polycarbonate thermoplastic and glass laminates, as demonstrated by the unfortunate common buzzard which collided with one of them, while cutting further the weight, which although might seem insignificant, however adds to the whole sum of the weight-reducing features which, in a small part of many contributions of its overall design, allow the CSAL to have an excellent flight mobility. The aluminum oxynitride built canopy is coated by a thin film of indium tin oxide which deflects waves away from their source through its controlled shape, to avoid such waves from entering inside the cockpit and bouncing back to its origin, which would make every other stealth feature of it easily bypassed for those missions when the two external hardpoints are sacrificed for stealth.

Total awareness was one of the intended design goals of the CSAL, which features a fully electronic glass cockpit built using to the fullest Intelliview technology, capable of recreating and filtering in the wide, heads-left, heads-right and heads-down displays connected to its generous heads-up display, by demand and without obstructing the vital indicators like the digital altimeter or the canopy view itself, the visual input from the points of the environment covered by five, wide-angle cameras with switchable infrared, points which would otherwise be, except for radar, blind spots while drastically reducing the space which would be otherwise fitted with conventional analog instruments to add the needed free space for its new complement, an additional camera also exists inside the cockpit for redundancy purposes. The Intelliview technology also is integrated fully with its avionics and optical targeting system. A strange idea originated from the capabilities offered by such system, the creation of an effective canopy-less manned aircraft, however it was fortunately dismissed for not considering the risk of failure from such system, instead using a conventional canopy and multi-sided displays combination, which still excels in providing to a pilot what the Confederacy has as one of its leading technologies: Information. For the CSAL was developed, both in cockpit and avionics, to be completely compatible with a network centric warfare doctrine.

Directly connected to the rarely used datalink, the HUD, also complemented by the Intelliview tactical display technology, allows a pilot to quickly receive major tactical updates and, coupled with the capabilities of its i386 Quantix Integrated Processors(QIP), intelligence and reconaissance database downloads on-the-fly, which can become essential in the usually non-stealth interception missions to redefine new priorities and avoid disastrous consequences from the lack of proper information updates, while at the same allowing its pilot to effectively rely on third aircraft's sensors rather than its own for detecting hostile aircrafts. However in most cases the information tends to be distributed dynamically through the complementary Intelliview displays by the pilot's command, allowing him , for example, to either receive the feed of the left camera or additional tactical updates from HQ at the heads-left display while an indicator of the recognized model of an hostile aircraft its passive radar detected is shown at the right, and logically placed around the cockpit, none of the displays are beyond the field of view of the pilot and although not in fact allowing total awareness, they allow something very close to such ideal goal.

Its pilot seat was developed to combine comfort and ergonomics with utilitarian principles, being a adjustable but solidly stable seat which can reclined from 15 to 45 degrees by the pilot, and provide an excellent, soft touch due to its impressively tender polymer fiber build, which helps to avoid distraction from any possible discomfort during a mission, for unlike certain military forces, it is believed in the Confederacy that although prepared for less than optimal conditions, pilots tend to perform better in good conditions than in unpleasant configurations of seats.

Propulsion

Speed, efficiency, maneuverability, short take-off and landing capability and stealth were the five primary considerations of the development of the specific propulsion system for the CSAL. In a 5 years long research program, the EcologiX modelo 140 turbofan was developed. Drawing from innovative engineering concepts like a fluidic nozzle, which uses a variable exhaust curvature to allow vectored thrust up to 15 degrees through yet another application of the Coandã effect in fluid effects to increase its lift performance even further, while being less complex and with no moving parts or surfaces compared to a conventional vectored thrust exhaust system, which in turns also helps to reduce its radar cross signature even beyond what the serration on its port, serving as an example of external re-entrant triangle and planform alignment, ensures. However, the major engineering challenge was to fulfill a critical strategical need, for despite an steady supply of imported oil from the allied Algerian Communes, petroleum never was a resource the Confederacy had in abundance, while a major strategical consideration of every Third Spanish States military technology and also related to its economy as a whole was to "survive unhampered by the predicted peak oil crisis", and thus it was necessary to create a propulsion system optimized from the groundworks for the newly developed jet biofuels, most based from algae, an abundant and renewable raw material which is commonplace and cheap internally due to the large territorial waters of the Confederacy and its mastery of sea extraction technologies, fuels like the Biokerosene which production process was developed by the allied Anarchilopolis based on previous local researches, which not only would guarantee further independence from non-renewable resources, but also serve as a minor contribution to the reduction of global warming and as another piece of marketing in the form of the "ecologically friendly 5.5th generation fighter".

The highly swept cranked arrow delta wings of the CL-32 are a necessary design choice for its two main roles and fast speed, however, they presented the primary challenge to effectively allow it to be a short take-off and landing aircraft. The vectored thrust capabilities of the EX-140 could be significantly extended by a moving engine exhaust, however, that would make it impossible for the Coandã effect to be achieved from the wing placement below the engine, while at the same time implying into the need of applying more expensive and complex radar absorbing materials and design to not compromise its low RCS, which would in turn compromise it's ability of being a low cost maintenance aircraft which does not require dedicated facilities. A proposal of a vertical take-off and landing variant of the CL-32 did come from the AEROCON, although never coming into paper. Nonetheless, the lift fan its creator designed, called the Ventilador Arriba 75(VA-75) ended up being indeed the option which would be the last element to ensure to the CL-32 STOL capability. Not much different in principle from the contra-rotating lift fan employed by the F-35 Lightning II, in certain ways analogous to the Yak-141 VTOL system, and like the F-35's one located ahead of the engine, although smaller, it ended being applied to its standard version, however, due to the CL-32 smaller airframe, for the F-35 is a larger aircraft, specially regarding its height, a lift fan with the same capability of the F-35 one couldn't be implemented, and despite the CL-32 maximum payload being equivalent to a normal payload of a F-35, it lacks lift power to allow vertical landing, and logically, vertical take-off, serving instead as an additional brake system during landing and as an additional source of lift during take-off, effectively offsetting its swept wings. Like the F-35s one, it is something like a turboprop inside the fuselage, which uses the EX-140 engine shaft power to propel it, funneled through a gearbox into it, while a pair of nozzles in the fuselage below each of the wings near the point where the canards are located exhausts the excess of air from the turbofan. The frame where the turbofan is located does not move away from the stealth design of the aircraft as a whole, and internally is shaped to capture radar waves through a foam absorber of carbon black gradient sheets, with anechoic chambers on its more inner sections, while a set of Alumina silica-Al metal matrix composite foldable hatches, partly covered with fiberglass in pattern to allow the absorption of radar waves inside its frame, are closed above it when the fan is not being operated during flight.

Performance-wise, the engine offers, when its afterburners are active, a thrust of 19,500 kg, 4,750 kg more than its dry thrust of 14,750 kg, which already offers a decent thrust:weight ratio of 0.82, which can be raised to 1.08 granting excellent speed for interception roles and for when speed is needed in such role, air superiority as well, which can become even higher by removing the heavy external ammunitions to allow effective stealth, increasing it to 1.18. The vectored thrust can extend to up to 15 degrees, or 30 degrees downward due to the additional support of the variable curvature surface where its fluid pass through, which is particularly important for its short take-off and landing capability, while ensuring an additional way of boosting mobility during flight, specially for dives or nose down maneuvers, which it performs in a way that makes flying upside-down for a limited amount of time a feasible tactic for certain situations. Its integrated lift fan module, coupled with the vectored thrust capabilities of the engine and with the contributing aerodynamic properties of the aircraft, also allows it to have a take-off run of 350 meters and an landing run of only 300 meters, however due to mentioned reasons not allowing STOVL or VTOL capability.

Avionics

http://fatpenguinblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/fp_linux-tux-born-2-frag.jpg
Image 2: Mascot of the MilNet Software development section

If there are a few men that the AEROCON should thank for regarding their development of highly cost-effective avionics suites, despite having apparently nothing to do with such feat, among these men would be Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman. The open source philosophy is very strong in the Confederacy, extending as far to encompass much more than programming, but also computer hardware, civilian aircrafts and automobile designs which blueprints are in the public domain, and by taking advantage of pre-existing systems which could be adapted for their needs, major economies in costs were achieved and much of the development process was fastened and cheapened thanks to the efforts of hobbyist programmers across the globe for general-purpose softwares and also academic softwares which were simply adapted for military use, coupled with also a few pre-existing designs of hardware components, for "reinventing the wheel" isn't something which is fancied by the engineers of the AEROCON regarding electronics.

The expertise of Third Spanish States in information technology, coupled with the existence of a very strong Open Source Software community and with the lack of copyrights and patents, in accordance with the collectivization of the "intellectual wealth" of its socialist economy, has been beneficial to many areas of technological research and development, and military aircrafts are one of them which has been among the most privileged regarding its mastery of such technology and the adherence of its software and even of some hardware developers to the Open Source philosophy, particularly in reducing the development time and costs of production, for although not being designed with military purposes in mind, many already existing open source softwares were used as the basis of the software component for all the avionics employed by the CL-32. Although considered a quite unconventional approach, to allow effective integration between all the different subsystems, and also developed to allow an additional level of redundancy, the development of what would end, after some long hours of hard-working men eating pizzas in dark rooms and programming, as the AirLinux Operating System Version 3.0cm, a heavily modified version of the, Sinux, which in turn was a locally developed operating system for high-security and priority application servers based on the modular kernel concepts and source code of the GNU HURD and also on the source code of SELinux, developed as a fully specialized operating system for serving as a redundant, but useful interface for the subsystems of multi-role fighters, with emphasis in air-to-air avionics, which has about 80% of source code commonality with the Sinux, and equally 80% of its source code GPL'ed, while its remaining 20% contains the "sensitive" components of its development, including redundant embedded libraries and secondary emergency subsystems, in a direct contrast to the embedded OSes of the primary subsystems. The primary features of the AirLinux 3.0cm is that it supports redundant multiprocessing, compiled optimized for the three Quantix Integrated Processors sets which shall be detailed later, and is an operating system which supports expansive architectures, allowing a broad scope of data that could technically be enough to provide it with position prediction algorithms, vulgarly known as "aimbots", which would allow the pilot to know the exact point where to aim the autocannons to almost ensure a hit, but unfortunately, the complex calculations required for such operation have limited it thus far to speculative off-the-shelf ideas. Other very evident feature is the support for both conventional, high level encryption using the Randomly Patterned Meme Algorithm(RPMA), which consists in a complicated and somewhat humorous use of countless millions memes rather than numeric data organized into a massive random-level matrix of a given private or public key to encrypt and decrypt information, including the support for storage drive full encryption, while also having support for the newer quantum encryption techniques for mostly squadron-level communications. While its modular build means that in the remote possibility of a single glitch in one of its elements, the OS will still continue operating, while the redundant embedded operating systems of each software and its hardware counterpart regarding each avionics subsystem ensure the acceptable reliability standards of the CL-32.

No speculation however lies in the system developed by the Federación de Software, the alliance of Third Spanish States cooperatives which has been the developer of the successful Intelliview display systems software and its application, coupled with its hardware element, in the Confederacy armored fighting vehicles and naval vessels, to remove the concept of "blind spot" from its military crafts. Optimized for the needs of aircrafts, the new Air Intelliview system and its hardware componets have a triple-purpose functionality. First, it allows the pilot through the mentioned displays to have an unrestricted field of view by request. Second, despite not being needed by them to properly work, it serves as the primary receiver of data for its glass cockpit measurement systems softwares, which also can display the data directly without their specific filtering through the Intelliview technology as yet another example of redundancy of its electronics, and lastly, the Intelliview is fully integrated with the electro-optical and infrared targeting systems of the CL-32, with its wide array of visual input from all angles, coupled with the capabilities of its tracking softwares, allowing an electro-optical missile to be locked even against a target behind the aircraft, which could in certain situations be decisive for the success of an operation, while, as a passive detection system, offering no change of intercept by hostiles. Finally, there is the already mentioned redundant camera, safely inside the cockpit, which in the case of the a failure of the other ones, would still allow the aircraft systems to lock electro-optical missiles on targets, while serving as the primary input for locking against targets ahead of the fighter, which due to its position, usually mean that the only way for it to be damaged is by the actual destruction of the CL-32.

It is said that information is a very important principle of warfare, and in accordance, another notable component of software is the suite of programs which operates the Automatic Target Recognition System, named BUHO 3.0 and also developed by the computer engineers and software engineers of the FSoft. Featuring an integrated, fully independent virtual storage unit with the data of radar cross sections patterns for virtually all aspect angles of every aircraft which passed through Third Spanish States airspace in an effective RCS pattern library, which supports updates of newly identified RCS patterns through an high priority encryption port, besides "generic" patterns for fighters, bombers and all classes of aircrafts, and which can also store unknown filtered estimate RCS patterns from the raw data from the environment by the passive radar for post-facto attribution of these new patterns to their proper aircrafts, which in certain ways is the reason why the CL-32 is commonly sought to be in air shows, other than the advertisement. For through such air shows it's possible for the acrobatic pilot of the CL-32 to also use its ATR for storing new RCS patterns data of other aircrafts not yet cataloged at visual range, allowing the increase of this database which is also logically stored in military networks from where it can be transferred to all aircrafts using ATR systems. The radar cross section estimated pattern of ships and ground installations can also be added to the CL-32, as although it is not optimized for such classes of targets, when equipped with anti-shipping missiles and air-to-ground missiles in its external mounts rather than the Vympel R-37 long range air-to-air missiles, allows it to extend it's capabilities even further, making of it technically a multi-role, despite being specialized in air superiority and interception roles.

The ATR also includes its own target position and speed estimation softwares, which in turn are used as variables in the Bayesian probabilistic algorithm that is the core of the system. As different aspect angles lead to different patterns of RCS, and as logically such angles change when a target maneuvers, the BUHO 3.0 also includes an accessory software, the GPL academic software called Instant Signature Solver Program(ISSP), developed in the Polytechnic University of Tucker, which is similar to the Fast Illinois Solver Code(FISC) (http://www.ccem.uiuc.edu/ccem/reschew1.html) of the American University of Illinois, developed in its Center for Computational Electromagnetics, and which was designed to present a new capability of filtering EM signals with general telecommunications applications in mind. The ISSP, which has passed almost unchanged compared to its original civilian take, with only few upgrades done by the MilNet coders as minor adjustments to its specialized role, generates, inside the own CL-32 avionics, a look-up matrix table for all possible estimated RCS patterns for each aspect angle each class of aircraft stored in the target library might have. As expected, this software won't be used exclusively by the CSAL and will be adapted for a new upgrade on all Confederacy anti-air systems and radars, and as yet another complementary software, a dynamic database of known radar ranges and its assort program, by crossing such information with its reduced RCS of the CSAL in its own probabilistic algorithm, allows the its system to, after properly identifying a target, inform visually and textually the detection capability of a target and the estimated distance from detection, forming the last software component integrated with its automatic target recognition system.

The need of interpreting an estimate RCS from a theoretically unlimited number of look-up matrix tables of different aircrafts in real-time has been the major consideration for the choice of the computing power needs of the CL-32 avionics, for such software would require a significant amount of dedicated and high degree capability, cutting-edge hardware, while at the same time such hardware would have to be given in a compact, lightweight package with the latest developments over miniaturization. Answering to such demands, while also allowing the capability of three consecutive computations to apply voting logic as a failsafe system, considering the manner on how it, like the experimental X-29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_X-29), due to the inherent dynamically unstable nature of its airframe, chosen with stealth in mind, the CL-32 is equipped with triple-redundant Quantix Integrated Processors(QIP), sets of seven multiprocessing units each which also contain the fly-by-wire system, developed by the Quantix Computer Engineering Cooperates as derivatives of their hardware technologies employed for artificial intelligence research and other highly-demanding functions of industrial nature, which are indeed among the cutting edge, intended be effective for at least the next 30 years, as i386 bits architecture microprocessors optimized for multiprocessing and with underclocked 1 Gigahertz capability each, achieved by the application of a 10x multiplier over the actual 100 MHz clock speed of each of them, and each set integrated with 1 terabyte virtual disk and 5 gigabytes physical memory, which included permanent backups of each other, and subsequently 3 copies of its own operating system. The degree of information that is continually streaming as output or input in such systems also requires an equally solid data bus. With not even FireWire technology being enough for the demands of running simultaneously an "smart" display system, a real-time target recognition system and a triple redundant integrated processing system, the option of replacing conventional cables for fiber-optic cables was an obviously essential choice, despite the additional millions in cost which soon have raised the final cost of the CL-32 beyond initial estimates, albeit still being exceptionally cost-effective.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c4/PassiveRadarSchematic.png (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_radar#Principle)
Image 5: Passive radar signal processing principle

Directly integrated with the BUHO 3.0 Automatic Target recognition system, the OJO-3A5 passive covert radar is responsible for the initial processing and transmission of data gathered from both non-cooperative and cooperative sources of illuminations of the environment to the ATR. First, a fully digitized and sampled raw signal is captured by its digital receiver system which includes a signal amplifier, due to its need of capturing small signals among heavy interference, which relies on what can simply be described as an AESA system which operates only with several small arrayed receive modules rather than Transmit/Receive(T/R) modules, and which include the digitization of the signal where the beamforming is performed to calculate the direction of arrival of each signal. The reference R module signal might then, depending on its source which will determine such necessity, be conditioned coupled with the other R modules signals, with a high quality analogue bandpass filtering followed by the channel equalization of the digitized signals. This process is then followed by the removal of the mentioned large quantity of interference, which would otherwise drastically limit its effective range, through an adaptive filtering process similar to the antinoise process used for removing unwanted sound waves. Finally, in a last step before the target detection is proceeded, a cross-relation processing gives the estimates of range and relative movement direction and speed(through Doppler shift) of the target. A constant false alarm rate(CFAR) algorithm is then applied over the cross-relation to properly detect targets, with a Kalman filter tracking individual targets from the CR over time, and eliminating further false alarms. And at last, as a target can be potentially detected by all the R modules, the intersection of the range ellipses of all which have detected it is used to give a more accurate estimation of the target position, which measurements are also combined through the Kalman filter.

Performance-wise, this passive radar has a proven effective range of 150 kilometers for detection of fighters, while larger aircrafts like AWACS and strategic bombers can be detected from up to 300 kilometers, or maybe more, as the CL-32 has not been tested throughly in the field. While, despite being optimized for detecting LPI signals of radars like the F-22 AESA and also being optimal for narrow-band detection, as a passive radar, it also packs secondary subsystems to detect multiple frequency bands, particularly digital audio and video broadcasting and analog TV signals, which in turn give it better chances of detecting aircrafts with a lower RCS to conventional radar systems and also to detect unmanned aerial vehicles. On the other hand, the choice of a passive radar, due to it being physically smaller, have allowed the CL-32 to have an excellent detection capability for its size and is also more difficult to be jammed and more resilient to anti-radiation missiles compared to conventional radar systems. Should the passive radar technology starred in the CL-32 show further potential, it might also be employed for complementary Airborne Early Warning and Control and ELINT functions, considering that they can be also used to intercept also FM radio and GSM cell-phone waves, and also as static radar towers, and how they are benefited from the illuminating of targets by a nearby AEW&C aircraft with a conventional active radar. However, it is a relatively new technology, and it also cannot operate as a 3D radar and rely entirely on third party illuminators, consisting in yet another progressive action of the "skunkworks" into pushing forward new technologies.

In consideration with the need of conformity with the principles of network-centric warfare without compromising stealth, The Low Probability of Intercept Datalink used by CL-32 consists into two fundamental components and is in certain ways an adaptation of LPI radar technologies for communications roles. One of its components, when used alone in a very specific manner and individually, ensures a virtually null probability of intercept of the receiver of any transmission, in this case, the CSAL. The receiver module is nothing but an additional algorithm linked to its passive radar which allows it to filter and identify encrypted transmissions from allied forces which are usually transmitted towards the battlefield at multiple, random directions, but not specifically towards any aircraft, allowing multiple aircrafts to receive it simultaneously without giving any hint of the actual location of them. Of course, such technique also implies that the enemy will have a facility of intercepting the transmission itself while only a very large area can be ascertained to be the location of the receiver, and that's exactly why the AirLinux 3.0cm includes kernel-level support for both high-priority and quantum encryption, and why keys are renewed at a per-mission basis. However, there is a secondary option, which might put in risk the element of surprise but make the transmission more difficult to be intercepted. By using multiple randomly chosen wideband frequencies from a frequency-hopping spread spectrum, while also resorting to pulse compression and a continuous wave signal, and logically, transmitting as little as possible, it becomes possible to signal for an ally the location of the aircraft, and also to share sensor data with them rather than only receiving it, through the communications suite included in its avionics, which relies on the only transmitter which exists in it, sending thin, fast moving beams of energy.

The QIPs were programmed with targeting software to interpret simultaneously the sensor data captured by optical, infrared and radar and in yet another innovation, it's actually capable of using such information separatedly to acquired lock through radar and electro-optical/infrared guidance simultaneously against two different targets by the pilot request, pushing such powerful system to its limits. The electro-optical, infrared and beyond visual range radar guidance assistance and target lock systems are completely independent, although the two first are normally configured to operate together, in accordance to the currently used, but eventually replaced by local missile technologies that are yet to be developed, Python-5 electro-optical missiles. Nobody have attempted it due to the processing power needs, but theoretically it would be possible to make these three different locking systems lock simultaneously against three different targets to allow a pilot to launch missiles against all of them. It's considered a superfluous possibility as of now, but maybe a new test might happen in the future to see whether its avionics could support such feat practically or not.

Interlinked with the QIPs, which normally supervise and can also replace it in case of its failure due to its critical importance, and yet another redundancy failsafe feature justified by the lack of any manual override mode, as evidenced by the adherence to its concept, the Águila7 Full Authority Digital Engine Control system, also developed by the contractor FSoft, is an additional computer subsystem which contains complex softwares defining fully the operating parameters of the CL-32 engine. With engine pressure and temperature sensors connected to it among other inputs which include air density and throttle lever position, and with its software taking full advantage of all the known combustion and reaction differences between conventional and Tecbio3 biokerosene, its standard software is fully optimized for taking advantage of the closest possible to the ideal performance achievable by its propulsion system for the flight conditions of a given moment, increasing efficiency and also allowing for continual maintenance and engine health reports created by its software, and also to prevent the catastrophic possibility of an engine overheat.

Armament


As evidenced by the flexibility and expansion capability of its avionics, the CL-32 can support a myriad of different missiles, limited only by its relatively small airframe and by certain mount optimizations for a very specific payload of missiles it was built with, fully specialized for the needed dual specialization into air superiority and point-defense interception roles. External mounts are logically counterproductive to any effort into implementing stealth features in an aircraft, nullifying the utility of the sacrifices on maximum maneuverability potential and resulting aerodynamically unstable nature made to ensure a least possible radar cross section without expensive implementations of certain technologies. Thus it's obvious that the primary choice for the CL-32 was to have the relative majority of its payload at internal mounts, which are exclusively used for its typical mission needs regarding air superiority roles. Rather than relying on a simple internal bay from where missiles are immediately launched with their propellants ignited, giving away immediately the aircraft position after it fires to any minimally decent detection system, the CL-32 Buitre inherited the Limited Drop Cold Launch System(LDCLS) of the experimental CLEX-31 flying wing aircraft which was discarded in exchange of the CLEX-32 prototype which gave origin to the CL-32. The initial version, directly taken from the CLEX-31, consisted in nothing besides a delayed launch guidance independent system integrated with its main targeting avionics, which consisted into issuing the launch command to the missile after it has dropped for a variable range from 100 to 800 meters, depending on the type of missile dropped, from the aircraft, allowing it to maneuver away from it before its thrusters were ignited, while keeping it under the range of the targeting subsystems of the OJO-3A5 passive radar and of the Intelliview infrared and optical guidance modules, while when tactically more interesting, it could be manually overridden to activate the missiles propulsion immediately instead.

However, even if the missile by itself would not give away immediately the exact position of the aircraft, the resulting open inner surface from its bay would offer an excellent point for radar waves to be reflected back to their origin, and despite the proposal of creating an internal bay built itself entirely as an anechoic chamber to capture radar waves, tests have proved it would not by itself make it possible that all radar waves are not reflected back to their origin, due to primarily the inevitable need of orthogonal metallic matrix composite plates of the hardpoints conventionally located inside its bay to serve as frames for the missiles to be held until launch. It was thus concluded that a conventional method for dropping payload would not be enough for the intended capability of tricking the enemy regarding the real position of the aircraft after a fire, or to at least difficult target locking into it. Considering the fact that smaller bays tend to provoke to less radar reflection than larger ones, coupled with the larger possibility of implementing re-entrant triangles and allowing a more efficient funneling of radar waves towards an intend absorbing into a trapezoidal shape.

The LDCLS-VLB system was then developed to replace the original LDCLS, featured by the 4-cell "Vertical Launch Bay", which is basically a modular replacement to its conventional internal bay equipped with the first LDCLS fully compatible with the CL-32 fuselage, which consists in, rather than a large convex hatch which opens to allow the missiles to be dropped horizontally, into a set of very slanted trapezoidal-shaped cells, which are, unlike the cells used by naval vessels, just large enough to fit at most a single AIM-120 AMRAAM or smaller missile each, in a pod-like configuration which house the frames holding missiles diagonally rather than horizontally, and which are when not used, closed by a foldable flap built of coated radar reflector to avoid detection which was carefully designed to meet the fuselage seamlessly when closed while any wave that still manages to go through the inside of the cell is dissipated. Each trapezoidal vertical launch cell is internally, in accordance to the other components of the CL-32 internal frame, its own anechoic chamber and the frame which holds each missile is shaped intentionally with tiny serrations as internal re-entrant triangles to reduce the probability of detection during to acceptably low levels when opened for dropping the missiles stored inside it. Another consideration is the almost complete lack of moving parts inside each cell, which takes advantage of gravity itself to allow the missiles to simply drop from it instead of relying on expensive cold-drop launch system, like with its father, and like it, it can also, for combat situations when such stealth deployment is irrelevant, be used to launch directly a missile from each cell instead of letting it into free fall for a few moments while the CL-32 maneuvers into a different position. However, rather than being phased out, the conventional LDCLS internal bay setup is still the standard system for export variants due to its reduce costs which allow an even more cost-competitive solution to the market, while by itself, having a significant chance of not being detected during the drop process, and in fact, both variants are still under competition, as according to some analysts, th LDCLS-VLB is a "superfluous feature" for the needs of the CL-32. However, due to their nature, an already built CL-32 could be refitted if necessary or decided to.

Asides from its internal mounts, the CL-32 can also be fielded with two optional and modular external underwing mounts for large missiles, carefully designed, together with its wings, to be able to stand the strain from carrying one Vympel R-37 or equally sized missile or fuel pod each, giving the the CL-32 the capability of being an effective lightweight multi-role with similar interception capabilities to those of a MiG-31, as such Russian missile basically offers a range even beyond the maximum effective range of its passive radar, and was designed specifically for the role of taking down AWACS and AEW&C aircrafts, with strategic bombers and other large aircrafts as secondary targets it was optimized for as well, from a relatively long and safe distance. However, as it effectively nullifies any possibility of maintaining a lower RCS, there is no disadvantage into maintaining a permanent link with the feed from allied aircrafts like AWACS or from allied radars to extend the detection range of the CL-32 for these interception roles. Finally, although not fielded due to a considered irrelevance, four modular wing mounts for smaller air-to-air missiles can be instead added to it, which although featuring a few stealth design which aid into reducing the RCS originated from them, will inevitably make of the CL-32 an aircraft with reduced RCS compared to most, but still detectable, rather than a full stealth one. However, the possibility of carrying a total of eight missiles converting it into an effective medium fighter might, in future situations, be more important than stealth, and yet another example of its flexibility of roles and armament. Lastly, for purely entertainment and marketing purposes, a pair of wingtip smoke pods can be mounted during air shows demonstrations.


One of the most considered theoretical combat situations the CL-32 was prepared for is that of a combat between two fighters which rely on passive radars and which are neither transmitting nor receiving from its allies. Due to the reliance of both on third party illuminators for effectively targeting and acquiring lock, and due to the fact that other than infrared and optical signals, both won't provide any form of active illuminator, in such hypothesis, neither of them would be capable of targeting each other with radar-guided missiles, limiting their combat to infrared missiles, which are known for their susceptibility to countermeasures, and to electro-optical missiles. Due to its stealth needs, the CL-32 has a relatively small missile load in its internal bays, and when two of its standard load missiles become inoperative due to lack of a proper lock, and when the other aircraft also cannot launch its radar-guided missiles, it's an inevitable fact that such battle would eventually evolve into a dogfight between both aircrafts.

This alone makes from the choice of its autocannon important enough to not be a mere afterthought. Two primary concerns were of importance to the development of a proper aircraft gun which could effectively be used to take down other aircrafts. First, in the modern battlefield, different from WW2, the screen a pilot has to shoot a gun against another aircraft at the right time and right place is extremely limited, while the high speed and agility of modern air superiority fighters also implies that a high rate of fire is far from enough, for the muzzle velocity needed to ensure a hit must be pretty much at the limit of the capabilities of chemically propelled guns. At the same time, a too high rate of fire would easily lead to the depletion of the limited stowage capability that a fighter of such size can support without compromising its stealth. In response to such issues, the AirMaster twin-barreled revolver autocannon, using a 20x150mm high velocity and steel cased ammunition, was developed. The choice of a smaller caliber is also directly related to the mentioned limitations of stowage capability, where, to ensure it can be as efficient as a 23 or 27mm one, measures were taken in its composition. First, it has a large L:D ratio to optimize its capabilities against known aircraft armor, at the expense of being a purely dedicated air-to-air weapon, which cannot be employed for close air support aircrafts, as long rod penetrators aren't particularly effective against the reactive armors used by ground vehicles, while its ballistics properties were optimized exclusively for such role. The gun as a whole system offers an artificially limited rate of fire of 1200 rounds per minute, determined after a series of tests as the optimal muzzle velocity for making it effective without being inefficient in ammunition consumption, while the muzzle velocity is of roughly 1,700 meters per second, ensuring a maximum effective range of 4 to 5 kilometers depending on the pilot reflexes against other fighters, extended to up to 8 kilometers against slower aircrafts. However, the primary feature of such weapon is its compatibility with truly effective aiming estimation algorithms which are for now merely on the speculative range but might be implemented in the near future in a probable upgrade of the CL-32 avionics for extending it useful service life.

Annex 1: CL-32A Upgrade

Aware of the primary limitation of the CL-32 as an air superiority fighter, which is the fact it lacked the necessary avionics to illuminate its own targets, thus not relying entirely on third party illuminators to lock missiles on threats during combat, the MilNet have contracted AEROCON for a significant upgrade over its avionics regarding a single element, which was much more evident on software than on hardware. The previous arrayed receive modules, built dedicatedly for passive radar, were replaced by transmit/receive modules which would still be entirely compatible with the OJO-3A5 passive covert radar. From this point on, there was no real change into its operational capabilities. However, the new transceivers also offered the needed hardware for the operation of a new method of detection and targeting of aircrafts. These same, dual-purposes modules would also work as components of a new radar system capable of overriding the OJO-3A5 passive radar systems, sharing the same hardware components of it: the ECO-2A5 active phased array radar, which also is fully integrated with a new upgrade over the BUHO 3.0 Automatic Target Recognition System, the BUHO 3.0A features an additional code to interpret the illuminated radar cross sections of unknown aircrafts and compare them with new RCS look-up matrix tables, allowing it to operate independently of whether the CL-32A is using its avionics into passive or active radar mode, the ECO-2A5 is featured by sharing also hardware with the Low Probability of Intercept Datalink system, and also having similar principles: operating at multiple randomly chosen wideband frequencies from a frequency-hopping spread spectrum, while also resorting to pulse compression and a continuous wave signal, and logically, transmitting as little as possible into short bursts for detecting targets. The entire system is classified as the ASA-3A5 dual-mode phased array radar, due to its capability of operating both as a passive and as an active radar. Regarding effective detection range for larger aircrafts and fighters, it was considered that the same performance of the OJO-3A5 was more than enough, and thus it remains unchanged, as anything with greater range would also be too large to fit properly into the airframe and probably require an entire redesign.

With this new upgrade, the CL-32A no longer presents the significant vulnerability of its previous versions in a worst case scenario where support aircrafts providing illumination for its targets are downed by the enemy, while also removing a potential "Achilles heel" for enemies to exploit. Nonetheless, it remains fully capable of detecting targets through its passive radar mode, allowing it to have an even lower profile than usual. Should however they be alone in a mission, and unsupported by allied third party illuminators, or should maximum possible stealth no longer be useful for its mission needs, its pilot then can, using its flexible user interface, switch the CL-32A to active radar mode to give it superior tracking and targeting capabilities and lock missiles on enemies regardless of having other nearby aircrafts around providing it with illuminators. As expected, despite sharing the same equipment of the passive detection system, the cost of the aircraft have increased, although its reliance on cost-effective avionics have made it less severe, and it still remains as a very cost-effective aircraft for its capabilities, not being that expensive compared for example, to a JAS Gripen, while this new upgrade has not brought any significant changes on its maintenance procedures as well, and it continues to have quite below average maintenance costs compared to other stealth aircrafts. The CL-32E export variants were also upgraded to the new CL-32AE, and continue having only one difference, in the fact they have cheaper conventional internal bay rather than the "vertical drop-launch" system of the CL-32.

New Avionics:
- ASA-3A5 dual-mode phased array radar, with passive and active modes.
- BUHO 3.0A Automatic Target Recognition System

CL-32A Cost: US$90,000,000

CL-32AE Cost: US$85,000,000

Annex 2: CE-32 Cuervo Electronic Warfare Derivative

Quick Overview

The CE-32 Cuervo is the electronic warfare, two-seater version of the CL-32 Buitre air superiority fighter, packing substantial changes from its original and a completely renewed view of tactical capabilities clearly pointed by the fact its fuselage and construction, although very similar in essence to that of the CL-32, does not involve application stealth technology due to its pointlessness in an electronic warfare aircraft, although still inheriting the first generation stealth features of the of the CL-32 and thus being only a reduced RCS aircraft, and this is evidenced by the fact that despite packing sophisticated modern electronics, it is cheaper than the CL-32. It offers a similar flight performance to the CL-32, and shares many common components with it as well. It is packed with the indigenously developed GE-36 Electronic Warfare System, which provides a full solution of EW while not interfering with allied communications and information lines. It can carry four missiles for self-defense in an internal bay and up to four EW pods in external mounts. An expansion potential for a more destructive SEAD role is also an aspect of it.

Airframe

The airframe of the CE-32 is strikingly similar to that of the CL-32 in its shape, being built from the CL32AE variant, however, it is still different in its construction. Due to the needlessness of stealth in the role it is intended for, the CE-32 is built with an all-metal airframe instead, made of the same material used for the CL-32 airframe metallic components: the nationally ubiquitous Al alumina-silica metal matrix composite, which contributes significantly to reduce production costs and time, while at the same time also allowing certain modifications to the resistance of its wings which were essential for it to accomplish its intended role, allowing a greater quantity of supported payload per pylon than what a partially dielectric composite airframe would, while the lack of the need of applying radar absorbing anechoic chambers and ferrite plates to its interior has also contributed to an overall decrease of empty mass, thus improving slightly its maneuverability while reducing the strain on the wings as well. Equally, use of indium tin oxide coating on its optical and infrared targeting and visual acquisition cameras was not considered necessary.

Some of its father stealth features were maintained however, also related mostly to its airframe shape, particularly the serration and heat signature reducing shaping and build of the exhaust port for its single turbofan, due to the advantage of such design choice difficulting the tracking of infrared guided missiles against it, something which is already obviously not as simple as it would be with a more conventional fighter, for the role of the CE-32 in electronic warfare is not purely offensive, while the layer designed to refract and disrupt laser tracking systems was also maintained due to its tactical utility beyond stealth. Otherwise, the basic design and considerations taken regarding the CL-32 airframe also apply for this offspring.

Thanks to its design similarities, it is rarely not possible to perform maintenance on a CE-32 using the same infrastructure and processes developed for the CL-32, except when the maintenance also involves its new systems focused on electronic warfare. With a 70% ratio of shared production phases and components with the Buitre, swapping maintenance procedures between both thus become in most cases possible, saving significantly the needed logistics costs to operate both aircraft.

Cockpit

Relatively little structural changes happened into the cockpit. One of them, as hinted, is the removal of indium tin oxide coating on its canopy, due to the overall irrelevance of full stealth for its intended role, which also contributes to an easier manufacturing process. Another, perhaps more important, is the addition of a new seat, followed by an additional set of FSoft Intelliview displays for the new crew member of the aircraft, because it is considered that dealing with electronic warfare and piloting an aircraft simultaneously would be problematic, even with the high level of information technology development and automation of modern times. These new display systems, as further explained on avionics, are fully integrated in their software component and specialized for the electronic warfare operator role, being directly linked to the GE-36 system. Otherwise, no differences remain, other than a needed repositioning of the internal optical/IR camera due to the new seat added to an space purportedly left vacant in the cockpit of the original CL-32 for a possible two-seater version, should one become useful, which has now been proved true.

Propulsion

The propulsion system is virtually unchanged compared to the CL-32, however, the weight-reducing structural changes to its airframe have made the propulsion system with its EcologiX modelo 140 fludic nozzle turbofan and Ventilador Arriba 75 contra-rotating lift fan slightly more efficient than in the CL-32, meaning an increased performance, and also, logically, a more than enough capability of accompanying the former during air superiority missions, or a CB-1 Miaja during tactical bombings among many others, in the role of escort electronic warfare.

A new increment however was the additional ram air turbine installed to provide, when necessary due to lack of power from its own propulsion systems, power to the electronic warfare systems added to the CE-32, making of them, when more convenient than the inevitable aerodynamic penalty from having such turbine active, fully power independent on demand from the aircraft primary powerplant.

Avionics

Much of what applies to the CL-32 and its A upgrade regarding avionics also apply to the CE-32. There are no changes on its used radar systems, and most of the upgrades have been increments to the systems that already existed in the CL-32 rather than modifications. The main exception to this is the new redundant operating system Airlinux 3.0ew, which is nothing more than an incremental modification over the 3.0cm source code and concept, for the reason that the used in the Buitre was optimized for air-to-air combat-centric avionics and processes rather than for the electronic warfare role, offering a new array of integrated decentralized modules for optimization of jamming, radar warning and allied wavelengths protection systems integrated with it, as part of the unique modus operandi of the Confederacy regarding avionics, based on the concept of integrated systems without common mode failure(ISWCF), where the OS is little more than a redundant processing optimization layer to which the avionics systems themselves, although being optimal with its presence, still can operate fully independent from it. The Airlinux 3.0ew also contains several modules for the potential expansion into the operation of some aircraft launched cruise missiles for the role of hard-kill suppression of enemy air defenses, combined of course with its electronic warfare capabilities.

As the CL-32 wingtips were already built with modular support for a pair of either smoke dischargers for recreational purposes or of electronic countermeasures, it was relatively simple to design a proper set of DA-92(Detector de Amenazas) multiple band receiver modules, which besides helping it to filter hostile jamming attacks, also give to it a much greater capability of detecting incoming threats to be jammed than that of the rear warning modules of the ASA-3A5 dual-mode phased array radar, and also boosting its own self-defense capabilities and those of nearby aircrafts. making of it a sort of operational early warning aircraft in addition to its jamming role, also providing support for high band jamming.

Another addition is the PNTC-24(¿Por qué No Te Callas? 24 horas) communications receiver and jammer, which support interference cancellation to allow the pilot and EW operator to communicate even while jamming enemy communications through electronic assaults, as the PNTC-24 was designed to cover the entirety of communications bands from military frequencies and bands to UHF, VHF, digital, satellite, FM and AM among many others, being very important in the action of disrupting hostile bombing runs or even, with properly done clever tactics, misleading enemy forces among a myriad of different utilities for an electronic warfare system. However, one of the most interesting features of the PNTC-24 is that besides the usual SIGINT capabilities it provides, it also supports communication intelligence data regarding captured IFF transceivers of the enemy or even their communication protocols regarding orders, allowing an excelling intelligence operation to branch into many other utilities besides those of immediate visibility through electronic deception, and also thus allowing, an allied CE-32, provided enough received data on enemy systems, to issue false-flag orders to enemy forces which are indistinguishable from legitimate ones, which, if coupled with a proper set-up of giving the enemy the illusion they managed to win the battle through the waves, could give many very interesting possibilities for a creative and ingenious tactician.

Armament

The Cuervo was built based on the Buitre E model for a single reason. The standard CL-32 drop cold-launch system based on internal trapezoidal bays for individual missiles, developed to minimize the probability of detection during their opening process, were logically useless in an aircraft not designed for being fully stealth due to its intended role being incompatible with such capability. Thus a conventional internal bay not only is less costly and easier to construct, but also more adequate and less heavy compared to the complex servomechanics involved in the CL-32. As a given choice of setting up of armament, due to the fact that an internal bay would be counterproductive to jamming pods, besides also lacking enough space for their storage, all its armament sought for self defense is stored in it, being composed usually of four MBDA Meteor beyond visual range missiles.

On the new, four reinforced external pylons which occupy a significant part of the usable wing area, up to four electronic warfare pods of the natively developed GE-36 (Guerra Electrónica) can be mounted. The GE-36, developed in partnership with the University of Tucker Engineering College, is close in concept to the AN/ALQ-99 used by the EA-18 Growler, with the difference, that due to the fact it was tailored for the more compact wingspan of the CL-32, a major effort went into going as far as possible into developing a compact jamming pod as possible without sacrificing performance. The end result was an significantly power-efficient system which will rarely need of its own power source to function properly.

The GE-36 pods, although directly linked to the avionics of the CE-32 where redundant backups of their control systems softwares can operate at any moment through Airlinux 3.0ew in case of failure of the other ones, have inbound all the necessary electronics and coded systems to filter, analyze and automatically jam signals, from radio-guided missile tracking to enemy communications. Being a primarily low band system, its capabilities are thus complemented by the already mentioned high band DA-92 on its wingtips. Finally, instead of the twin-barreled revolver autocannon of the CL-32, the CE-32 is equipped with an electronic pod which integrates both DA-92 and GE-36 systems for an all-around electronic attack capability, while serving as additional control units, in accordance to a well-established belief on the importance of redundancy to prevent errors.

Instead of four jamming pods, a combination of two jamming pods and of two anti-radiation missiles can be mounted on external underwing hardpoints, although conventional air-to-surface missiles can also be added to complement the CE-32 and allow it to operate in the SEAD role in an adequate manner, expanding its mission profile from jamming to more physically destructive capabilities. The research and development over non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse systems is still occurring, although as of now no efficient system has been developed yet, although it can be expected that once one is devised, any missile using it will likely enter to the roster of the multitude of additional weaponry used by the CE-32 besides its standard load.

OOC- Inferior to the F-22 in general and specifics. However at that price i'dd have bought some, but i've just finished replacing old F-16 with F-22's at a cost of - shudder - 120 million dollars a unit. And I bought 240.

(OOC: Maybe, but it is much more cost-efficient and flexible than the F-22. Plus the F-22 isn't STOL nor Carrier-capable. Also this is much less maintenance-intensive than a F-22, it is much closer to those Saab fighters like the Drakken and Gripen in essence than to US fighters.

This says enough (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=3219)

Also, it's very difficult to make something better than the F-22, unless through techwank. My aircraft is superior to the F-22 in certain aspects, like:

- Fossil fuels independence: Need no explanation, of course it is useless as most simply pretend that oil is infinite in NSEarth
- Reliability: Does not depend of expensive, weather-sensitive maintenance-intensive materials
- Take off and landing: STOL, could even, with some acceptable risk, serve as a bush plane.
- Maneuverability: The F-22 concept is simply that there will be no dogfighting. Even an F-5 would pwn it in such situation.
- Targeting: You can't lock simultaneous targets with an F-22, as far as I know
- Information: Three targeting systems working in tandem.
- Stealth: It has a good chance of not being detected even after a missile is fired

I guess that a MACH 7 VTOL FLYING TANK or renamed F-22 with wanked stats copied from Wikipedia would probably sell better in II...

But anyway, should you wish to have more fighters at a lower cost and with less reliance on large runways rather than less fighters only marginally better and non carrier capable at higher cost, there is nothing wrong into retconning military upgrades between RL tech and claim you never acquired such F-22s.)

OOC- Exactly. It's a very good jet, and at that cost worth every cent. Now yuor offering this i'm kiciking myself that i secified the F-22 in threads, as if i hadn't i could buy this. I still could, but that would be assuming i have a budget letting me replace my jets twice a week, wich i don't.

(OOC: Most people usually won't bother about such details. Like I mentioned, retconning upgrades from one RL tech to another to shift it to an upgrade to an NS-made design isn't wrong at all from a roleplaying perspective. But it is your call.)

CL-32's first air battle is crowned with Spetacular Victory!

http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13805483&postcount=9

Following the events that led to the war between the People's Republic of Spain and the Confederacy of Third Spanish States, the CL-32 Buitre air superiority fighter and interceptor has finally been taken into its first conflict. In a successful operation which involved the CL-32A Buitre and the CE-32 Cuervo electronic warfare fighter based on it, together with B-12 Luddite strategic bombers, the Confederacy has finally demonstrated the fullest potential of their aircraft in air-to-air combat, specially if combined by a comprehensive set of electronic warfare and suppression of enemy air defenses, coupled with well skilled pilots*, well maintained infrastructure* and superior tacticians*, where the capabilities of the same were used to the fullest while the disadvantages of the Su-27 were severely exploited. With a nearing 30:1 kill ratio alone, the CL-32 Buitre demonstrated its capabilities in combat thanks to excellent tracking systems, effective stealth technology and advanced, optimal performance in both high altitude and supersonic flight and highly agile propulsion systems, being in most situations outnumbered by up to 3:1 against enemy forces and nonetheless, triumphing with a groundbreaking record.

Five elements have been essential to such victory: The superior acceleration capability of the CL-32, the electronic warfare support of escorting CE-32s, the capability of locking on two different targets simultaneously of the CL-32, its capability of launching missiles without giving away immediately their exact position for tracking systems and the agility of the B-12 Luddite bombers to crater runways before further hostile fighters could take off.

And to complete the show, most of the CL-32s deployed into mission landed safely in aircraft carriers, despite themselves having no specific navalized variant for such roles, for they can serve both in the Navy and in the Air Force, simplifying logistics.

Of course, this adds nothing to the simple fact that the CL-32 is the most cost-efficient fully stealth fighter in the market. And when one costs little more than three times the cost of a Su-27 and is worth 30 of them, there is no way to deny their overall cost-efficiency.

*Unfortunately, we cannot include them in the sales of the CL-32 as bonus, although we can offer free advises on how to achieve them to interested buyers.

(OOC: Updated pic with a better one. Again, I'm not the best drawer around. I'll be pushing this thread up and up until I have at least a single sale despite all. Because I never give up with this.)

As the Iberian War unravels, the CL-32 once again proves its worth in combat against a numerically superior force. There are few fighters that match its effectiveness and cost-efficiency in combat. Being able to take off from public roads and even from rough paths, while dismissing the need of a specific variant for carrier-borne operations, the CL-32 effectively can maintain the air superiority of a nation even if most of its runways were damaged. None of the supposedly "Super-Stealth" 14-missile carriage supposedly super-agile fighters that some see around are able to survive and operate against such odds. Also, while any CL-32 model can carry air-to-ground and anti-shipping missiles, its E variant can easily carry a light payload of bombs. And finally, the CL-32 is one of the few fighters optimized for jet biofuel in the market, which makes it independent from the ever dwindling supplies of oil.

Greetings General Tom Wavlery of the Catawaban Air Force. I forward this message to inform you that your request for 360 CL-32A Air Superiority and Interceptor Fighters and for 180 CE-32 Electronic Warfare Fighters is confirmed and other than our surplus, the remaining 50 CL-32As and 20 CE-32s are being prepared for an industrial run-in and will be ready in at most a month and half, thanks to our wartime procedures, and to our aircraft assembly lines. As for the twin-seated versions, we have developed the CL-32A to support twin-seaters by a extremely simple modular add-on to the cockpit into an intentionally vacant space and electric links, which can be done in less than three days, and can also be removed should it be necessary. Thus, we are already preparing 30 CL-32A with twin-seats and controls for shipping, and the other 42 will also be ready in at most one month and half, and due to the very low additional costs, the twin-seated trainer versions will be charged at the same price of the one-seater ones. With this, the cost will increase to a total of 49.4208 billion USD, with the large-purchase discount already calculated over the value.

Regarding the payment, the amount can be easily and quickly deposited, without any bureaucracy, through electronic means in the unlimited deposit account number 702405 of the Hampshire's Credit Cooperative(http://www.hccbank.tee), which belongs to the MilNet Joint-Ventures Exports mutual funds.

Thank you for your choice!

Greetings. After analyzing your financial history, trades with other companies and capacity, your request has been approved, and as a consequence we will be able to increase our customer-dedicated rate of production to 40 aircrafts per month, which means your updated procurement request shall be finished in the next 15 months, with 40 aircrafts delivered every month(35 CL-32 + 5 CE-32 initially and 40 CL-32 in the following batches).

Thank you for your choice!

[OOC: A side question, as I think back to my purchase. Do you think the CL-32 could be aircraft carrier capable?]

[OOC: A side question, as I think back to my purchase. Do you think the CL-32 could be aircraft carrier capable?]

(OOC: It has a lift-fan, and although not being able of achieving Vertical Take-Off and Landing because its fan is limited in maximum power by its fuselage size, it is a Short Take-Off and Landing fighter, which means it doesn't need a specific variant for carrier air groups and that it can take-off from taxiways and even public roads, like the JA 39 Gripen. As long as it has a ski-jump, it will do it. It doesn't really need a catapult system to take-off.)

[OOC: I meant is its airframe reinforced enough take the stresses of slamming into the deck upon landing and hooking the arrestor cable...let alone the hook itself being installed. Also, I don't use ski-jump carriers because it limits the sort of aircraft and payload you can launch.]

(OOC: STOL planes like it don't need either catapults or arrestor cables. They are able to take-off and land successfully without them. Only conventional planes need arrestor cables to land in a carrier)

From: The Airshturm Guard. Special Division. Ralkovia

Military Acquistion Group

Ralkovia would like to purchase 40 CL-32 for testing purposes. Should they integrate well into the Ralkovian AirShturm Guard we will purchase an additional 80 units.

Ralkovia will be more than happy to pay the price of delivery as well.


(Basically since I don't want to check the prices and I am in a rush just name the price if it isn't over 500 billion then I wire the money. If it is over 400 billion please tell me. And I want the baseline model. Thanks TSS. By the way that fighter is gorgeous)

Greetings. Your request has been approved, and the medium-scale purchase discount will reduce the total value to 3.366 billion NSD, and as charging shipping costs would go against our trade policy, there won't be any. Our current stockpile will allow for immediate shipping of 100% of your request(40 CL-32), which shall arrive from one to two weeks to help speeding your trials. We assure you: the CL-32 shall not have performance below any of your air force standards, however we recommend the purchase of the Block A upgrade as well, once you decide to procure additional CL-32As. The Block A upgrade can be installed on baseline CL-32s, as it is simply an upgrade over radar systems and avionics fully compatible with earlier models, and will give you the combat effectiveness and independence over third-party illuminators of active radars during engagements and the stealthiness of passive radars while your fighters remain undetected.

Regarding the payment, the amount can be easily and quickly deposited, without any bureaucracy, through electronic means in the unlimited deposit account number 702405 of the Hampshire's Credit Cooperative(http://www.hccbank.tee), which belongs to the MilNet Joint-Ventures Exports mutual funds.

Greetings. Your request to extend your procurement to 600 additional CL-32A air superiority fighters has been approved, and the extension of the massive-scale purchase discount will give an increment(considering the hastened production) of 103.68 billion to your urgent procurement request total cost and to an additional time of one month and twenty days for the production runs to be completed under urgency, leading to a total time of six months and twenty days for the entire procurement.

Thank you for your choice!

The Independent Territory of North Glacia would wish to purchase the following for it Air Defense Forces:

2 CL-32 Buitre Air Superiority Fighters

Total Cost: US$180,000,000

However, we do have one issue. Currently money is being phased out in our country, and we wonder if we could pay in suitable amount of steel, oil or some other form of barter.

Greetings. Your request has been approved and is currently on the way. Our current stockpile will allow for immediate shipping of 100% of your request(2 CL-32A), which shall arrive from one to two weeks to help speeding your possible trials to reconfirm the capabilities of the CL-32 Air Superiority Fighter

Regarding the payment, the Milnet is more than willing to accept the barter of the equivalent value in uranium, or should your nation have strategic reasons to not export the former, we would then be willing to accept the barter of two CL-32 in exchange of an equivalent amount of petroleum.

Thank you for your choice!

[OOC: It's up to you how much you believe would be fair to take, but North Glacia can say no. In the interest of speeding this up, I'll just trust you to make it a fair amount.]

Uranium is currently not mined in our nation, however we do have a acceptable stockpile of petroleum and will be more than happy to send over and equivalent amount.

Greetings, our offer shall consider the price of the oil barrel two months ago, at $250 / barrel, which will lead to a a total cost of 720,000 barrels of oil. Meanwhile, I'd like to inform the MilNet can also consult our energy and construction cooperatives regarding strategic matters of lessening dependence over oil through research, development and implementation of new energy sources and of improved ways of tapping previously developed ones, should your nation be interested.

Thank you for your choice!

(OOC: I don't Fail Geology or Economics Forever (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouFailEconomicsForever), and therefore Third Spanish States don't have a wanked limitless supply of oil... in fact... it's quite expensive. In fact, just stretch this graph (http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/PeakGraph.jpg) to have a less pessimistic peak oil at 2037, and you'll have an idea of the strategic situation in the unnamed "Earth" I RP the Confederacy at)
