The CMP-01 [Combat Machine Pistol] is a sub-compact submachine gun that is currently employed by security forces in a range of nations as a reliable weapon with significant stopping power. This is chiefly due to the fact that it is primarily loaded with +P+ class 7N31 armour piercing ammunition. When loaded with 7N31 ammo, the CMP-01 offers enhanced penetration against body armour, while maintaining stopping power against "soft targets."

The MAR [Mandorla Advanced Rifle] was designed by Krevic-Worx based out of Selnis, Rusikstan. The Mandorla is made from advanced composite plastics that allow it to be relatively light weight considering its electronic systems. The chamber can be easily modified to fire any round, as of now its chambered for the 5.56x45mm CP RIC. The weapon comes standard with a LED flashlight along with a Heads Up Display or HUD system. This HUD has an in-build bullet counter which provides information about how many bullets are left in the magazine in an easy viewable shown number. The H.U.D. system uses Bluetooth to sync to Bluetooth equipped eyepieces and/or helmets which allows what the weapon views to be sent to the eyepiece and/or helmet which can allow the soldier to peer around corners with the weapon without exposing himself.

Testing Environments:
    The MR-2L has gone through several environmental tests to ensure quality, survivability, and reliability.
    >Standard Conditions-Thoroughly cleaned using supplied kit, loaded with 5.56x45mm CP rounds. Testers fired 20000 rounds constant on Automatic. Results 45 stoppages out of 20,000 shots fired.
    >Sand- Buried in sand and left to sit for 1 full day with magazine loaded. Testers returned grabbing the weapon from underneath the sand and with no cleaning or shaking of weapon began the tests. Testers fired 20,000 rounds out of which there were 70 stoppages.
    >Water- Submerged in water for 1 full day ensuring that water managed to envelope the entire weapon with magazine loaded. Testers returned and retrieved the weapon and with no hesitation began to fire the weapon. Testers fired 20,000 rounds out of which there were 85 stops.
    >Mud- Testers smeared the weapon in mud and then buried it in sand after which they poured water into the sand to turn it to mud. The weapon was left for 1 full day with magazine loaded. Testers returned and without cleaning began tests. The testers fired 20,000 rounds out of which there were 163 stoppages.
    >Extreme Heat- Testers heated weapon to a constant temperature of 160 degrees F. The weapon was then remotely fired. Testers fired 20,000 rounds. Results prove that in extreme temperatures the weapon continues to function with no rounds going off due to extreme heat.
    >Extreme Cold- Testers cooled the weapon to a constant temperature of -128 degrees F. The weapon was then remotely fired. Testers fired 20,000 rounds. Results prove that in extreme temperatures the weapon continues to fire with no rounds becoming inert due to the extreme cold.

Name: Piston-Lyran LY83 Jackel
Purpose: All around security, multi-purpose, rapid action, and customizable battle fittings

The Piston-Lyran LY83 Jackel, nicknamed the Hog by frontline soldiers, began its life as the Lyran Arms LY83 Fox; designed and built by the Protectorate of Lyras. Specifically designed as a replacement for the M998 and M1114 HMMMV, it has also supplanted a number of similar vehicles, and assumed a wide variety of combatant and non-combatant roles, within all arms of the Lyran Protectorate Military. In most cases, the LY83 is referred to simply as the “Fox”. The Fox was designed by the Protectorate Research and Development Commission, in conjunction and spurred on by submissions from Asgarnieu and the Federal Republic of Hamilay, both of whom sought Lyran assistance in the production of a light multirole utility vehicle. In January of 2010, Lyran Arms granted the Piston Armament Corporation of Ashbourton DPR rights to produce and distribute fully customizabe Foxes (now renamed "Jackel"). The Jackel was retro-fitted with all a multipurpose vehicle needs in urban and conventional warfare.

Armament:
Though the standard model does not come equipped with weaponry, it can be customized and refurbished with anything a client requests. Yet, pre-made models have been created to provide clients with a fast buy if they see fit.

Armour and Protection:
The LY83 Jackel is equipped with depleted uranium and titanium alloy, with internally lined with Kevlar mesh. This state of the art armour has the tolerance of withstanding a direct hit by .50 cal and 20 mm weapons. The underside of the vehicle is v-shaped as to allow the blowout of explosions to be forced up and outward to protect the crew compartment. A roll cage is installed on all variants as well; the risk of roll over is a real possibility in modern warfare, so protection in this matter is a big factor. The Jackel's wheel wells are also place further away of the crew compartment to direct mine blasts away from the crew thus providing extra protection. Distraction devices have also been implemented such as smoke and tear gas motors. The Jackel also has a redundant internal oxygen filtration system as well as Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical resistant life support systems.

Optional Equipment:
IR/full spectrum illuminator, smoke and tear gas launcher, reinforced armoured doors, halogen searchlights, rear passenger seat cupola, NVG capable HUD, rood hatch and turret, FM and AM radio, CD player, all-terrain tires w/ spare, winch and hitch, A/C, front and passenger bucket seats w/ 5 point harnesses, Satellite capable Wi-Fi Internet connection, and Leather seats.

Name: Mine Resistant Ambush Protected [MRAP] All-Terrain Vehicle [ATV] Razorback
Purpose: Urban Armored Fighting Vehicle and Troop Transport

The MRAP ATV Razorback is capable of travelling at least 2 miles after suffering a single 7.62mm perforation in the engine oil system, or coolant system, or fuel storage system. It is equipped with run flat tires, to sustain mobility up to 30-50 miles, travelling at a speed of 30 mph, after suffering multiple hits at two tires. Besides improving off-road mobility and manoeuvrability, the Razorback uses lessons learned from the initial operations with MRAP vehicles in theatre. For example, the new all-terrain system is required to be much quieter; the objective goal calls for interior noise level at each seating position to permit eight hours of continuous exposure without hearing protection. Another requirement is negotiating water obstacles. Another lesson learned is the need for side lights, for night time route clearing and patrol. The Razorback is equip with side-light illumination for visibility to the side of the vehicle up to 100 meters during night operations. Another aspect addressed in the requirement is fording performance. While the vehicle will not have amphibious capabilities, it is required to ford hard bottom fresh water to depths of up to 60 inches without special preparation. The Razorback is designed to comply with MRAP level protection, offer good off-road performance, carry mission equipment, including protected gunner kit or remotely operated weapon station in additional to add-on armour protection.

Optional Equipment:
IR/full spectrum illuminator, smoke and tear gas mortor, reinforced armored doors, halogen headlights, rear passenger seat cupala, NVG capable HUD, air filter snorkel, Infra-red illuminator, FM and AM radio, CD player, Roll Cage, Bucket seats with 5-point harnesses, 48in. diameter Run-flat All-terrian tires and suspension, Intercom system, "check six" cameras, IED Jammer, Battle Damage Repair Parts, Command and Control displays, GPS, dash mounted USB ports, satellite WiFi connection, V-shaped hull, satcom antenna and receiver, remote controlled turret weapon systems, Side lights, and Sniper detection systems.

Name: MRAV-5
Purpose: Multi-role Mechanized Fighting Platform

The MRAV-5 is an eight-wheeled MRAV designed as a joint-venture between Voss Defence Inc. and LG Defense Systems of Tergnitz Inc. MRAV-5 easily dwarves most contemporary vehicles with its size. At 34 ton combat weight, it is also about 10 tons heavier than many other contemporary vehicles within the same role. It is designed to carry out a variety of utility missions with maximum flexibility; this is achieved via several different "mission modules" specialized for various tasks which are available separately from the vehicle. The base vehicle is independent of the modules, and modules can be interchanged within an hour. Each module incorporates a primary safety cell with a triple floor. MRAV-5 is built with a high degree of standardization, and designed to be maintained easily and efficiently.

Current Mission Modules:
    * [MRAV-5A] - Armored Personnel Carrier
    * [MRAV-5B] - Command Post
    * [MRAV-5C] - Infantry Fighting Vehicle
    * [MRAV-5D] - 120mm mortar
    * [MRAV-5E] - Medical Evacuation Vehicle
    * [MRAV-5F] - Integrated Anti-Aircraft
    * [MRAV-56] - Engineering Service Vehicle
    * [MRAV-5H] - Logistics

Image


The basic vehicle shell is composed of hard steel, and "modular armor" is sandwiched between it and the vehicle cell. The three elements are held together by fastening bolts. The modular armor, is a specialized ceramic mix, but is designed to be easily upgradable by future developments. The hull provides protection against top attack bomblets and AP mines, including "hanging" seats to improve crew protection from explosions below the vehicle. Modules are changeable in about 45 minutes.

The basic combat vehicle is equipped with a remotely operated turret housing the 2A38M-short 40 mm caseless cannon firing up to 350 rounds per minute. This 40mm caseless round has the same performance as 40mm Bofors and the 50mm Supershot in a design that is just 233mm long. Its 1 kg high explosive round is three times the size of a 30mm projectile so it will penetrate the thick walls which currently defeat the smaller round, or can be detonated in mid-air to attack troops behind cover. Its armor-piercing round can penetrate more than 150mm of armor plate.

There are also versions of the vehicle equipped with a 120mm autoloading mortar system, a 105mm cannon and an anti-aircraft version. The anti-aircraft version is perhaps the most unique vehicle of its type. It is a single 2A38M-short 40mm caseless cannon supported by a Six tube Spike S missile launcher. The Spike S is basically a ground launched version of the Spike AAMRAM. In its anti-aircraft role the MRAV-5 can fire its cannons in several modes of operation, radar, passive radar, passive vortex and optical, in radar mode the target tracking is fully automatic, with the guns aimed using data from the radar. Passive radar tracking allows the vehicle to home in on the radar emissons of an attacking aircraft or missile, while passive vortex utilizes sensors that monitor aerial disturbances produced by helicopter rotors and soundwaves to engage targets out to 5km, In optical mode the gunner tracks the target through the stabilized sight, with the radar or passive radar providing range data.

    The Spike AMRAAM is a sophisticated short and medium ranged air to air infrared-guided (heat-seeking) missile with a sensitive, cryogenic cooled seeker with a substantial "off-boresight" capability: the seeker can "see" targets up to 60° off the missile's centerline. It can be targeted by a helmet-mounted sight (HMS) allowing pilots to designate targets by looking at them. Minimum engagement range is about 300 meters, with maximum range of nearly 48.28 km (30 mi) at altitude.

    The Spike has a simple but highly effective thrust vectoring system allowing 45 G maneuvers. It is equipped with advanced improved IRCCM (Infra red counter counter measures) and at long range is targeted by the aircraft's sensors using inertial data on the targets speed and course to proceed towards the predicted interception points. Once it closes the infra-red seeker takes over with the ability to monitor and utilize the aircrafts target data as well as third party data from AWACs, satellites and surface units.

    Length: 290 m (9 ft 6 in)
    Weight: 105 kg (231 lb)
    Range: 48.28 km (30 mi)
    Warhead: 25 pounds (11.34 kg), high explosive fragmentation
    Maximum speed: Mach 3.0
The mortar vehicle features a remotely controlled automated, single-tube, 120-mm smoothbore turreted mortar. The vehicle features some highly advanced systems including automated ammunition storage and handling, breech-loading, in-bore air regulation system (IBARS) and automated mortar cooling system (AMCS) subsystems. The unique and patented accelera system allows firing of the mortar at low angels to increase effectiveness while integrating recoil control and layering systems to provide a highly accurate platform. The system uses a number of high tech rounds including the laser guided munitions.

    Model: FT891 105mm cannon
    Barrel Length: 52 calibres
    Weight: 1,282 kg (2826 lbs)
    Length: 5.89 m (19.3 ft)
    Height: 2.37m (7.78 ft)
    Shell: 105x607 mm
    Calibre: 105mm (4.13 in)
    Rate of fire: 10 rpm
    Effective range: 3 km (1.9 mi)

The MRAV-5 utilizes state of the art electronics, sensors and counter measures. Both the gunner and Commander have independant FLIR and an electro-optical/TV imaging systems, and direct-view optics with the eye-safe laser rangefinder.The fire control software (FCSW) combines laser range, environmental readings, ammunition type, and turret control inputs to automatically elevate the gun for range and to automatically generate a kinematic lead solution if a target is moving. If the weapon misses its intuitive targeting subsystem automatically fires on the two most likely enemy positions scoring kills 87% and 99% of the time respectively. NBC protection systems are standard equipment.

When needed the vehicle can be fitted with Contact Reactive Armor. The Contact Reactive Armor ERA consisting of an explosive sandwiched between two metal plates adds to the vehicles protection. The plates are arranged in such a way as to move sideways rapidly when the explosive detonates. This will force an incoming KE-penetrator or shaped charge jet to cut through more armour than the thickness of the plating itself, since "new" plating is constantly fed into the penetrating body. ERA armor covers the front, side and top of the vehicle.

The Optronic counter measures system is designed to disrupt laser target designation and rangefinders of incoming ATGM. Optronic includes a laser warning package that warns the tank crew when it is being lased and an electro-optical jammer. Plus there is a grenade discharging system which produces an aerosol screen and a computerized control system to coordinate the vehicles defense and its Chainmail active protection system.

To increase survivability the MRAV-5 is equipped with the Chainmail Phase 2 active protection system. Chainmail includes an F/G band fire-control radar with four flat-panel antennas mounted on the vehicle, with a 360-degree field of view. When a weapon is fired at the vehicle, the internal computer uses the signal from the incoming weapon and calculates an approach vector. Once the incoming weapon is fully classified, the computers calculate the optimal time and angle to fire the neutralizers to intercept the threat at a distance of 5 to 30 meters from the protected vehicle.

The response of the Phase 2 systems comes from two rotating launchers installed on the sides of the vehicle.The launchers are normally stowed behind armored plating and only deploy when a threat is detected.The launchers fire the neutralizing agents, which explode in front of a threat forming a dense "curtain" of reactive explosive fragments within one millisecond. The system is designed to have a very small kill zone, so as not to endanger troops adjacent to the protected vehicle. Due to its use of reactive materials Phase 2 is considered roughly fifty times more effective then the first generation system on other LG Defense vehicles. Additionally, the system can track and defend against several simultaneous threats from different directions.

Name: AV-6 Dragon Tooth
Purpose: Mechanized Naval Assault Boarding Vessel

Background:
The original project idea was floated as part of a large raft of military innovations sought by the Tergnitz Imperial Navy as the 20th century drew to a close. The concept of a boarding craft usable in modern combat baffled many seasoned defence contractors, yet the design idea was eventually picked up, along with several other projects, by Rinsor Shipyards Ltd. one of the three largest military contractors in Tergnitz.

Designers started with a simple concept, make a light assault vessel, capable of reaching high speeds very rapidly. They were immediately drawn to their very high power-to-weight ratio, as well as high operating speeds. With this core engine design in hand, designers then moved on to develop a light, yet steady outer hull for the vessel, now dubbed the AV-6, or Assault Vessel VI series. The electronics suite of the craft is designed to allow the vessel to navigate in all weather, day or night in military operations anywhere in the world with little to no special training requirements for an indefinite period. After two years of dedicated work, the core components of the ship’s design had been established, the result was exactly what they wanted, a light vessel, capable of transporting a platoon of Imperial Marines at high speeds.

With the core components of the ship’s design complete, the designers moved onto the harder aspect of the concept, the boarding process. To better grasp the intrinsic difficulties involved with this part of the design, Rinsor Shipyards elected to form a partnership with Voss Defence Inc. as they hoped to utilise the wealth of experience possessed by the numerous ex-marines employed by the private security firm. By using this real world knowledge as a foundation, Rinsor’s designers poured millions of dollars into scientific development and an extensive series of technical trails, the ultimate result of which was something totally unique. The designers cunningly had adapted current technology in a way never envisioned by its original creator.

Three years after accepting the contract, a prototype AV-6 was showcased to both companies Board of Directors, as well as to a number of officials within the Tergnitz Imperial Defence Ministry and Imperial Navy off the coast of Tergnitz. The officials, seated on a Voss Defence destroyer provided for the demonstration, were amazed by what they saw. The prototype AV-6 was lowered into the water by the destroyer’s crane arm, before speeding off towards the target ship (an old Imperial Navy destroyer which had been heading back to port to be decommissioned). The prototype AV-6 made contact with the hull of the ‘enemy’ ship with a clearly audible clang, which echoed across the calm ocean, which was quickly replaced however with a loud hissing sound. The officials diverted their attention to a ring of monitors set up around the viewing platform, which depicted a series of four automatic, exothermic torches mounted on a set of rails inside the front of the prototype AV-6, as they began to begin to rotate rapidly. These torches burst to life in an explosion of flame, slowly sliding along their mounted rail, gradually building speed while all burning a thick line through the enemy hull. After roughly three minutes of cutting, the torches were extinguished and from within the ring, a small ramp descended into the newly created breach, pushing the now cut hull section into the enemy vessel. Finally, a battle-ready platoon of Imperial Marines entered the ‘enemy’ vessel and began to secure the corridor, before advancing further into the ship and out of the range of the pre-positioned cameras.

Overall, with both the Imperial officials and company mangers fully satisfied with the prototype AV-6’s performance, the project was declared a complete success. The designers at Rinsor Shipyards, with the aid of Voss Defence had done the unthinkable, they had been able to create a vessel which was capable of making boarding actions a viable strategy for a 21st century navy.

The AV-6 is currently being used by the Tergnitz Imperial Navy and Marines, as well as numerous foreign governments and private corporations to facilitate the boarding of a hostile enemy vessels by a platoon-strength marine element.

Name: F-28 Horizon
Purpose: Multi-role, Stealth, Fighter Aircraft

The F-28 was designed as a joint-venture between Voss Defence Inc. and LG Defense Systems of Tergnitz Inc. with the goal of meeting set criteria in regards to survivability, supersonic cruise, stealth, and ease of maintenance. The F-28 is an unconventional-looking aircraft with trapezoidal wings, substantial area-ruling, and a V-tail. The exhaust from the F-28's engines flows through troughs lined with heat ablating tiles, which shields the exhaust from infrared (IR) missile detection from below. The vehicle management system coordinates movements of the control surfaces for manoeuvres and for stable flight, along with other aircraft functions. The wing flaps and ailerons deflect inversely on either side to provide roll. Pitch is provided by movement of both V-tails, and yaw is supplied by opposite movement. Deflecting the wing flaps down and ailerons up on both sides simultaneously provided for aerodynamic braking.

Rating stealth and drag highly important, LG Defense employed a serrated planform beavertail with submerged ventral exhaust troughs. This approach reduces both depressed tail aspect infrared emissions and tail aspect radar cross-section. The F-28 is a very unstable aircraft; however, when this instability is coupled with a fly-by-wire control system, this results in a very agile aircraft under an the command of an experienced pilot. Another attribute that lends itself to high mobility is the uniqueness of the tail. On the F-28, instead of using two rudders and two elevators, it uses a ruddervator, a combined rudder/elevator. This ruddervator is angled at a roughly 45° angle to horizontal.

The F-28 takes a very radical departure from conventional design of aircraft. By using a very unusual shape the aircraft becomes very manoeuvrable and has a high top speed. By using the same angle on all flying surfaces (i.e. the nose, wing fronts, wing backs, ruddervator {rudder/elevator} fronts, ruddervator backs, and engine exhausts), the stealth capability is increased. Another advantage of using such unusually shaped flying surfaces, is that the uncontrollability of the aircraft is increased so that when fly-by-wire is used, the manoeuvrability of the aircraft is increased greatly.

The F-28 employs planform shaping with extensive blending. Blending has the major strength of not compromising high speed aerodynamics; the blended airframe offers very low drag by avoiding vortices which may be produced by a faceted geometry. In addition to RCS reduction through shaping, the F-28 also employs carefully shaped exhausts to conceal the engine hot end. The unusual 'diamond' planform of the F-28 is a two major lobe design, as all major edges fall into groups of two parallels. The result of the low observables techniques was a major reduction in aircraft delectability by radar, and in the F-28, also delectability by Infra-Red Search & Track (IRS&T) systems. This radically shrinks the usable envelope of hostile radar guided weapons and in the instance of the F-28, also heat seeking weapons.

The sensor suite of the F-28 comprises of a AN/APG-7 AESA ‘look down shoot down’ 360 degree radar, designed by Nemesis Electronic Systems, this is augmented by the Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) mounted under the nose of the aircraft which provides positive target identification, autonomous tracking of all targets in range, coordinate generation, and precise weapons guidance from extended standoff ranges as great as 200 miles without compromising the aircraft's stealth. EOTS include a laser designator and tracker (50,000 ' attitude) for guiding laser-guided bombs, cryogenically cooled FLIR receiver and a CCD television cameras. Eight additional passive infrared sensors are distributed over the aircraft as part of Nemesis Electronic Systems' AN/AAQ-7 distributed aperture system (DAS), which acts as a missile warning system, reports missile launch locations, detects and tracks approaching aircraft spherically around the F-28, and replaces traditional night vision goggles for night operations and navigation. All DAS functions are performed simultaneously, in every direction, at all times.

The F-28 uses combined radio frequency and infrared (SAIRST) situational awareness to track all nearby aircraft continually, the pilot's helmet-mounted display system (HMDS) to display and select targets and High Off-Boresight (HOBS) weapons to eliminate them. The aircraft houses weaponry in bomb bays located under the engine intake duct sides and the air intakes. While primarily a fighter aircraft it can conduct limited strike missions utilizing a wide variety of air to surface weapons. The internal bays under the engine intake duct sides can carry up to 2000lbs bombs or a range of missiles.

Countermeasures include the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars which can act as an ECM device to track, locate and eventually jam enemy radar. Flares and chaff are also present carried.

Name: B-3 Long-Range Multirole Bomber
Purpose: Long-Range, Subsonic, Jet-powered Strategic Bomber

The B-3 was designed as a joint-venture between Voss Defence Inc. and LG Defense Systems Inc. It is a low cost, low maintenance aircraft capable of delivering conventional or nuclear payloads to targets with a high degree of readiness. Featuring a 4 engine design with each engine producing 80,000 lbs of thrust, the aircraft is capable of high subsonic speeds and is capable of carrying a highly diverse payload of weapons of more than 70,000 lbs.

The conventional weapons payload is (16) Tigershark missiles, (51) 500lb bombs, (30) 1,000lb bombs, (20) conventional air-launched cruise missiles, 12 joint stand-off weapons, 32 small diameter bombs, 12 joint direct-attack munitions (JDAM) and 16 wind-corrected munitions dispenser (WCMD). The B-3 can also deliver (51) 500lb, (30) 1,000lb and (20) 2,000lb navy mines.

The B-3 is equipped with a wide range of powerful electronic warfare equipment to assist in its mission. The AN/ALQ-12 electronic countermeasures system features multi-band threat recognition and multiple threat jamming. The AN/ALR-14 radar warning system detects and prioritizes multiple threats.

Nemesis Electronic Systems\' AN/AAQ-7 distributed aperture system (DAS), which acts as a missile warning system, reports missile launch locations, detects and tracks approaching aircraft spherically around the B-3, and replaces traditional night vision goggles for night operations and navigation. All DAS functions are performed simultaneously, in every direction, at all times. The AN/ALQ-15 jammer power management system gives 360° coverage in D,E,F,G, and H radar bands.

It is also equipped with a AN/ALQ-1000 multiple false target generator, AN/ALT-2 noise jammer and AN/ALQ-3 tail warning set, which is a pulse Doppler threat warner. There is also the APQ-200 AESA radar which can identify, locate and jam radar sources. 12 Sunburst infrared flare dispensers and eight chaff dispensers are fitted.

Offensive avionics combine GPS Aided Targeting System (GATS) with GPS-aided bombs such as Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). This uses its passive mode on its AESA electronically scanned array APQ-200 radar to correct GPS errors of targets and gain much better than laser-guided weapon accuracy when \"dumb\" gravity bombs are equipped with a GPS-aided \"smart\" guidance tail kit. Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) mounted under the nose of the aircraft provides positive target identification, autonomous tracking of all targets in range, coordinate generation, and precise weapons guidance from extended standoff ranges as great as 200 miles. EOTS include a laser designator and tracker (50,000 \' attitude) for guiding laser-guided bombs, cryogenically cooled FLIR receiver and CCD television cameras.
