Seeking scientists/designers to develop new ATGM

Official Message from the Papal State of Inderressa



21st October, 2011

Dear willing participant,

The Inderressan government has today issued a request to all design bureaus and corporations around the world to deliver a proof-of-concept new anti-tank guided missile to counter threats in the modern world not covered by Inderressa's current arsenal. We wish to replace our aging M72 LAWs with a new, innovative design that is cheap, relatively light, and powerful enough to penetrate the armour of a Leopard 2A4 or AMX Leclerc tank (600/700RHAe).

The official requirements are as follows:
  • Weight less than (or equal to) 12kg
  • Ability to penetrate armour of 700RHAe
  • A cost of less than or equal to: £3,040 per unit ($4,000 USD)
  • A simple design, easy to mass produce with little advanced industry and quickly able to replace current weaponry

After proof-of-concept is delivered, the Ministry of Defence will deliberate and if accepted tests will begin at the expense of the Inderressan government.

Signed,
Alessandro Bongiovi, Minister of Defence



(( Basically, this is a request for a new MANPATS anti-tank missile for the Inderressan military. I wanted to invent a new one but my line art skills are seriously lacking, something I want to change in the future, and I don't really know any ways to innovate in the field of anti-tank missiles without either just packing a load more explosives in or using top-down attacks. ))

OOC: Just a question. I've not posted an advertisement because I believed you were looking to make a brand new design entirely. Are sales an option?

(( Oh, excuse me. A new design was preferable but I suppose sales are an option. ))

Dear Government of the Islamic Emirate of Bahtiar,

Your design will be passed on to the Ministry of Defence for consideration. We wonder how this unique (for AT warfare) annular blast warhead will function against tanks.


Signed,
Alessandro Bongiovi, Minister of Defence
