History

The AY2 model was conceptualised as a result of practicality and ease of logistics requirement. During the developmental phase of the AY1 Serenity, debates were on-going within the VMK Board of Committee regarding the initial negative outcome of the AY1 prototype. Initially equipped with a six cyclinder engine as its propulsion system, the prototype of the AY1 model could not withstand the various internal pressure and weight resulting from its networking sensory systems, electronics, and most importantly, its 140mm/L48 AY1M smoothbore gun, until the adoption of the twelve cylinders Forza FB-12TSD as its primary propulsion system.

However, even then complication regarding logistics were still visible and more than apparent, together with various factors such as the essential requirement upon the application of tank bridging vehicles and/or means of transport due to the substantial weight of the AY1 Serenity, which consequently result in the lacking of most bridges' capability to handle its operational weight without any chance of structural risk involved, also being regarded as just one example of the AY1 model's setbacks. These reasons wer included as some of the primary explanation behind the development of the AY2 series as a way to fill the much needed ease of logistics and mobility role essential upon the success of an operational tactical breakthrough.

Nevertheless, the presence of the ever increasing effectiveness of inter-branches support role, or more commonly known as joint-support service role within most of (although perhaps some still did not) today's armed forces, has rendered even more the apparent vulnerability and invalidity of the heavy-weight AY1 known for its unrealibility to act as both a power projectile mean of tactical breakthrough, and at the same time as an effective mean of exploiting the aforementioned tactical initiative itself, namely to seize the role of an operational mobility battle system.

Whilst the AY1 Serenity was able to more than adequately fill the role of a power project mean of creating the aforementioned breakthrough, however it was lacking severely in mobility, and therefore the development of an accompanying main battle tank system to act as a mobile support force, and perhaps if it need be, the replacement of direct power projectile means within its immediate operational field tactically, was regarded as a must.

Lessons learnt from the utilisation of the AY1 series in combat has provided the technological knowledge essentially needed by the VMK Bureau of Development and Technological Research, and as a result the AY2 came into existence. Weighting much less and with emphasis being put within its electronics and mobility, designated in full as the Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1B Tiger, the AY2 was thus conceptualised with 1B designated to symbolise its first variant type to enter production, and service. The development of the AY2 was initiated with chassis flexibility and the possibility of future variants' ease of modification being put in mind within its design, unlike that of its counterpart, the heavier AY1 Serenity.

On March 24 2011, the AY2 Tiger, specifically its first variant the 1B, has entered production, and was introduced hastily into service on the twenty-ninth of march, when it was deployed into combat within the K.u.K. 22nd Mechanised Support Company, where over six AY2-1B Tigers haphazzardly was being sent forward to reinforce the depleted aforementioned formation within the Mindemoyan Rebellion. Badly outnumbered to almost five to one, the AY2 Tiger's performance on its corresponding field of tactical operation was rated as at least, above than average, although various technical malfunction and electronics failure was experienced upon by the vehicle's crews, as of course was expected due to its premature entrance into combat.

The existence of a strong Anago-Yohannesian air presence further hampered the Mindemoyan efforts on the ground, where the Tigers were able to maximize upon its intended operational function, that of operational mobility and breakthrough exploitation. The AY2 Tiger's Anago-Yohannesian AY-2M 125mm electro-thermal chemical smoothbore primary gun furthermore, despite its visible lack of tactical prowess in comparison to that of the AY1 Serenity's 140mm AY1M, has proven once more that firepower alone does not equate to a vehicle's clear cut chance of successfuly outcompeting its ground opposition in a direct engagement.

The Forza FB-12TSD has as well proven its worth once again, and the incorporation of the Lamonian originated Adversus Armour, and the adoption of an improved electronics and countermeasure systems, both of which was adapted and incorporated from the AY1 Serenity, has more than made up for the reducement of the Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1B Tiger's raw firepower potential.

Primary Armament

The designated primary gun of the AY2-1B Tiger is the AY2M 125mm, 55 calibre (6.6mm) electrothermal-chemical (ETC) smoothbore gun.

During the past five years, the VMK Bureau of Development and Technological Research has discovered in parts, consecutively and continously developed locally within the Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes, in which Anago-Yohannesian procurement scientists has intermingled with each other to, in consensus, act as a catalyst towards Anagonia-Yohannes's technological development in terms of effectiveness and ease of knowledge collection and distribution.

It was by this process that consecutively and slowly but surely the VMK Bureau of Development and Technological Research has discovered a process in which a substantial increasing and higher rate of a projectile's muzzle velocity can be initiated by combining the initiation of both electro-thermal energy and liquid propellant. The VMK Bureau has also realised that the aforementioned initiation would result not just in a controlled increase of the projectile's muzzle velocity, but also the maintenance of a maximum safetiness of gas pressure within the barrel of the planned M series of AY smoothbore gun.

Furthermore when combined with precision in a careful manner, the application of an electro-thermal chemical gun, or abbreviated as the ETC gun, will result in a situation whereby both the disadvantages and negative sideffect of a separate utilisation of the aforementioned technology in a gun would be negated.

Historically an armoured fighting vehicle's gun has applied the usage of an extended barrel platform, with its breech end and centre bore structurally being put closed together. A burning of propellant by an igniter is needed to produce heated gasses, which act as a catalyst for the gun's projectile to progress through the bore, and as a result of this process, a substantial rate of initial high pressure would be generated.

Nevertheless, its initial high pressure rate will then decrease alongside the movement of the projectile within the barrel of the gun. Although a maintenance of high pressure rate as the projectile is being propelled can be achieved by the utilisation of a liquid fuelling process, the crucial application of a substantial size of fuel chamber and process of the aforementioned fuelling ignition however, meant that such a utilisation would be impractical.

Meanwhile, the utilisation of a chemical propellant system within the future AYM gun series would be regarded as equally, if not even more so, more defective. The mixing and utilisation of two chemicals were difficult to control and predict, and as a result the risk factor involved within such a process has made the VMK AG Bureau of Development and Technological Research team to twice considered upon the application of the aforementioned technology within the AYM series of gun, and it was not even counting the unjustifable extra expenses incurred upon by such a complex system of sealing and calculation technology.

The application of an electric energy propulsive system as the chosen propulsive system of the AYM series of armoured fighting vehicle gun however, was unfavourably viewed with skepticism within the Bureau's inner circle, most apparent within the clique' of the VMK Procurement Team. Such skepticism has resulted from the VMK PT's reasoning in which the resulting system of the aforementioned system would result in a sizably uneconomical end result in terms of weight and features, as a result of the requirement of a large electronic source which would act as the main power supply needed

And therefore the development of an Electrothermal-chemical technology to increase the AYM gun's accuracy and muzzle velocity whilst negating the aforementioned defect features of both the propulsive systems, was regarded as the VMK Bureau of Development and Technological Research Team's number one top priority within the development of the AY series of main battle tanks (which was initiated and successfuly accomplished in the form of the AY1M 140mm gun used by the AY1 Serenity).

Following its successful application within the AY1 series of main battle tanks' 140mm gun, the VMK BDTR has decided to replicate the aforementioned system of projectory propusion towards the new AY2M 125mm 55 calibre smoothbore gun of the AY2 series.

A replicate of the AY1M 140mm electro-thermal chemical smoothbore gun used on the heavier AY1 Serenity, the AY2 Tiger's AY2M 125mm 55 calibre's performance was increased substantially as a result of its utilisation of an electro-thermal chemical propulsive system. The fusion of electro-thermal and chemical propellant energy has resulted in a higher density of energy towards the AY2M 125mm 55 calibre smoothbore gun. Furthermore, an identical electrical supply charged propellant system, minus its previous drawback if applied without the utilisation of chemical propellent functionality, is also present, obvious as it was to the VMK BDTR team.

The VMK BDTR team furthermore has ackowledged the advantageous result of the initiation of higher density chemical propellants within the forthcoming AY2M gun. Such an initiation will result in a process whereby the said propellant system would require less source of electric energy, and following field testing within the Valedonian range was discovered to be relatively superior to that of a solidly granulated propellant which can be found in most (although the trend has since altered slowly) conventional armoured fighting vehicle guns.

Field testing and experimentation has seen the substantial increase of performance an electro-thermal chemical application has brought to the AY2M smoothbore gun, as the result of a higher level of energy density reached by utilisation of both an elecro-thermal and chemical energy combination. Under auspices of Dr. Harvey Proctor, the VMK Bureau of Development and Technology Research has discovered that a further increasing of the propellant by exploiting the arrangement of the gun's chemical substance can be achieved by applying the electrical application carefully in balance with that of its chemical counterpart, and thereby optimising the aforementioned process.

Furthermore, the AY2JM has the ability to maintain a high projectile velocity rate, whilst maintaining a comparatively low chamber and breech pressure rate, by ejecting a substantial amount of electrical output from the plasma's vessel branches. A fuse wire will then be diffused to establish a high rate of temperature, ideally in-between the 10,000-20,000 K range. The diffused plasma will then act as a source of ionised gass which will further diffused and act as a catalyst for the fuel's combination with its oxidising material.

As a result, a continuous power supply will be maintained, which will then further control the fuel and oxidising material's combustion rate. The energy released as a result of the aforementioned process will then act as further pressure towards the projectile, which will ensure the projectile's constant nature as it travel along the gun barrel's length, thereby maintaining the projectile's relatively high velocity rate whilst maintaining a comparatively low chamber and breech pressure rate.

For the AY2M gun to be deemed as effective, an ideal level of a kinetic energy can be achieved by controlling the gun's maximum pressure. The VMK BDTR team initiated the process by decreasing the AY2M's propellant burning, which was accomplished in practicality by altering the arrangement of the gun's electrical and propellant systems to limit the gun's pressure rate.

The existing interaction between the system's propellants and electrical discharges was designated to be kept at all cost. Such a measure would result in the maintenance of a substantial high pressure level within the gun as the gun's projectile accelerate and progress. As a result, the AY2M 125mm 55 calibre smoothbore Electro-thermal chemical gun's lethality was substantially increased within the AY1 Tiger's field of tactical operation usage considerably.

The AY2M 125mm gun uses a variety of rounds, such as that of the Anago-Yohannesian AY-18 APFSDS-T (anti-tank roundarmour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot), AY-33A ATGW (anti-tank guided weapon), and the AY-03A HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) rounds, and the gun is fitted with a rigid fibre glass thermal sleeve blanket around the AY2M's barrel to protect the AY2M thermally from on-and-off the battlefield environmental conditions. Developed by the VMK AG Bureau of Development and Research during the late developmental phase of the AY2M gun, it utilised the then discovery of a ring-shaped gap found between the AY2M's barrel and that of the sleeve, and consists of sandwiched honeycomb layers of materials in-between that of the stiff and unyielding inner and outer envelopment.

Crucially the development of the previous AY1M 140mm 48 calibre smoothbore Electrothermal-chemical gun has given increased emphasis' to the development of automatic loaders as the size and weight of the 140 mm ammunition means that a man cannot realistically and effectively handle it within the confines of the would be AY1 Serenity turret. As a result of commonality factor, the VMK Bureau of Development and Technological Research has decided to adopt the AY1's automatic loading system modified form within the AY2 Tiger tank, the XA1Y-E1.

The recent establishment of the ever increasing number of large weapon has seen the development and initiation of varios autoloading systems worldwide, as arms manufacturing entities strived to establish its own autoloader system. Most apparently needed in a setting whereby a large field gun is fielded upon an armoured fighting vehicle, and especially that of tanks, the VMK Bureau of Design and Technological Research has proceeded to develop its own automatic gun loading system, to be used towards its main battle tank projects.

Observed by the VMK AG BDTR team upon the development of an automatic loading system towards the AY2M's gun of the AY2 Tiger would be the fact that such an initiation would considerably increased the AY2M's rate of fire, save substantial crew manpower by the removal of the gun loading personnel, and consequently providing more space within the main battle tank as well at the same time. Observation of various prior autoloaders has seen the technical complexities of mantaining such a system within its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle's operational field. The XA1Y-E1 was therefore, conceptualised with a different tehnicality in mind.

The XA1Y-E1's ability to load the AY2M effectively under almost any azimuth and elevation co-ordination within its limit has resulted in a substantial increase of its firing rate, and the XA1Y-E1's sytematic structure enable the retrieval of a previous gun breech loaded shells from the magazine affordlessly, consequently allowing the transfer of shells within the gun from the magazine in a more flexible and reduced rate of pace. Thus, the XA1Y-E1 has a relatively small power requirements in comparison to a normal autoloader, and this feet was achieved without effecting the autoloader's rate of firepower potential.

This was done by including a trolley mounted by a pair of opposing guidance tracks for the controlling of its movement between a magazine position whereabout the shell will be retrieved from the storage of the magazine within the revolving turret's basket, and the emplacement of a position of gun loading arrangement in which the shells will then be rammed upon the turret mounted gun's breech. The tracks utilised for guidance will then set itself to move in conjunction with the gun's azimuth and elevation co-ordination.

The trolley will then initiate forward an electric motor to be used as propulsion mean along the aforementioned guidance track, and will then carry it towards a two stage rammer which result in the deliverance of its propulsive electric motor. The motor is then activated to propel the trolley and shell, which was acquired from the gun's magazine, and was activated by the rammer's motor. The trolley's motor will then propel the trolley and extract the shell towards the pod of the the AY2M gun.

As it approaches the interior pod of the AY2M and its ready loading position, a controlled pivotal movement will then be produced by a cam roller, which will then be jointed together with the AY2M's pod, thereby resulting in a fastening between the rammer and the AY2M's shell, aligned with its boreline. Once thr ramming position has been initiated completely, the rammer's motor will then activate the stages of the two rammer in quick succession to propel the aforementioned shell towards the breech of the AY3M. Once the XA1Y-E1 autoloader has assumed its fixed position with the AY2M's magazine, the gun's detachable pod will then be removed systematically to provide sufficient space for the AY2M's recoilling process

The XA1Y-E1 automatic gun loading system has the ability to maintain an accurate control on each of the AY2M's shell on various rough terrains in general, and is manufactured to be sufficiently compact in-feature within an ergonomically space saving structural design, and by utilising the gunner's gyro-stabilised panoramic sight, the AY2's crew is capable of collecting on-board hit avoidance and target acquisition sensors, which are mounted on the surrounding left and right frontal side of the AY2 turret, and the main battle tank's turret structural-based and adapted 125 mm automatic loader is capable of handling and firing up to 13 rounds of AY2M ammunitions per minute. It then can internally be replenished from within the turret or externally through the rear.

The addition of an AY2M's supporting burst diaphragm further ensures that when an ignition of the ammunition as a result of a penetration towards the automatic loader and magazine happens, the forthcoming centre pressure of the blast would be vented upwards, consequently altering it away from the AY2's crew compartment.

The AY2M 125mm 55 calibre electrothermal-chemical smoothbore gun is capable of power elevating from 20 º to -10.

Additional Armaments

The secondary armaments of the AY2 Tiger is a co-axial AY02-MG, an Anago-Yohannesian automatic, air-cooled, and belt-fed short recoil general purpose machine gun chambered for the Anago-Yohannesian 7.62x51mm (5,000 rounds), 12.7mm AY18-MG, and six smoke-capabled, fragmentation firing grenade launchers on both the surrounding left and right side of the turret with a capability to engage opposing infantries and support personnel within the vicinity of the AY2.

The right co-axial 7.62mm AY02-MG machine gun is capable of providing a considerable direct vehicular support role against enemy infantries, and in the case of an unpredicted close-in firing situation. It holds five thousand rounds divided by two equal stock accomodations, while the compliment of an additional 12.7mm AY18-MG machinegun, with its compliment of six hundred rounds are designated to occupy that of an additional secondary close-range field protection towards the flank and rear vehicular side of the AY-2.

The twelve smoke-firing capabled general purpose grenades' conceptualisation was a result of the VMK Bureau's additional requirement of an additional armaments allocation and all-around camouflage protection intensive battle systems to further reinforce its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle's safetiness within its field of engagement, in this case being that of the AY2-1B 'Tiger'.

The AY2-1B utilise the regular procurement of an invisible-purposed, fast burning and slow burning charged smoke shell to cover the AY2's presence from hostile fire when deemed as needed necessarily. As do of most existing smoke grenade's usage, the associated armoured fighting vehicle will then be protected by a partial smoke screen envelopment in-between the associated vehicle itself, and that of the opposing entity's line of fire.

By utilising the rapid establishment of the surrounding thick wall of smoke layers, AY2's three crews would be able to establish a fairly effective means of secondary prevention and camouflage method against the enemy's general abilities to project any of its available power projectile threats against the main battle tank, and to further maintain the smoke layers' length of time considerably in durational terms.

The process was done by utilising two smoke emitting, partial charging, differing reactionary and emitting rate, smoke shells. The VMK Bureau of Procurement and Development discovered that the condition in which a longer duration of length the discharged smoke would engulfed and therefore, screened its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle, would be achieved by expelling whilst burst charging the aforementioned smoke shell simultaneously. The result is an approximate slow burning time of 200 seconds after firing.

Fire Control

The AY2 Tiger and its variants' fire control system is that of the Anago-Yohannesian AYTRACK turret-mounted fire control system, following the Anago-Yohannesian VMK Bureau of Procurement and Development's tradition, and is all its application an equal of the heavier AY1 'Serenity' model's AYTRACK fire control system and electronics. AYTRACK was conceptualised and developed by the VMK Bureau of Design Committee to provide its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle with the ability to engage mobile targets on the move, and thereby increasing the vehicle's power projectile accuracy and capacity's scope of operational effectiveness and capability within its immediate field of tactical surrounding.

With the seemingly unending cold hostility between the multiple present major powers internationally, military development and advancement of research has progressed by leap and bound, with the sucessful development of various multi-day and night laser ranging sights, and the existence of an accurate digital tracking target acquisition computer electronics advancement regarded as the future replacement over that of raw firepower and armour alone. The VMK Bureau of procurement and Research has noted that the development of these computerised system has reached a level whereby its digital processing systems was able to accurately track its target on the field of battle, day and night and under some of the most undesirable mobile vibration and situational environmental conditions, to be worrying.

And therefore the development of a remotely controlled weaponry networking systems ignoring all its neccessary developmental characteristics cost was initiated with great haste, as the VMK Bureau of Procurement and Technology Research has realised that the Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes was well behind in terms of its domestic military development to that of other major powers within its rank, categorically regarded as it was as a financial and monetary exchange country, or more simply as an economic powerhouse only, and not a military powerhouse. The AYTRACK was therefore, developed as a direct result of these developments.

AYTRACK field of view.

The AYTRACK fire control system is fitted with a compensatory automatic drift device, and its gunner's sight has a two-axis integral laser range-finder incorporated line of stabilised sight together with a missile guidance informational processing capability.

AYTRACK gun sight features the application of a computerised controlled targetting mark, or more specifically a range marking, graticule-calibrated application in which it is capable of pointing its associated gun's specific form of ammunitions, in conjunction to the axis of its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle's gun barrel. The VMK AG Bureau of Development and Technological Research however identified a certain flaws within the aforementioned system, in which the condition of a constant parameter value could not be achieved, despite multiple-fix error re-programming, and the revelation that upon the conclusion of a successful target hit, a departure from the aforementioned graticule marking range would be needed in regard to the amount of cumulative variation input identified within the system's parameter.

However, recent development has made the discovery of a fire control system whereby the situation in which a range of standard ballistic value, complete with the gun's elevation rate and a computerised arrangement of correlation in regard to the range between the corresponding armoured fighting vehicle to its target possible, has propelled the VMK Bureau of Technological Reserach and Procurement to develop a new gun fire control system to countermeasure these previous setbacks.

With the ability to utilise an improved graticulated sight, the VMK Bureau of Research and Technological Development team had decided to initiate the programming of a computer system which will effectively arrange and provide the appropriate range of ballistic effectiveness value to provide the AYTRACK corresponding armoured fighting vehicle's crews with the ability to calculate the right gun elevation exaction which would be most effectively be initiated upon by the appropriate circumstance's choice of ammunitional range.

The crews will now be able to pre-programme the computer to change the exact type of ammunition needed for the right circumstance, and pending the relatively correct input given in regard to the condition only however, in which the parameter of the gun's atmosphere and barrel are at the right set value, the AYTRACK will then be able to automatically provide an accurate target hit value in exaction, in which the chance that the target will be hit is nevertheless, no less than 98% in chance.

The fire control system's field of view consists of a kinetic energy stadiametric ranging scale, fragmentary high explosive and chemical energy ammunition information and statistics input, designated as it was as an effective Anago-Yohannesian secondary range finding method in case of an unexpected emergency. The system unable the gunner of its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle to accurately and smoothly track and verified its target within its scope of operational range tactically. Further aiding AYTRACK is the X1A-AY GPS sub-system.

The Anago-Yohannesian X1A-AY GPS (global positioning system) system of navigation is included to calculate and determine the armoured fighting vehicle's gun barrel position, and it collected its informational input and surrounding visible surface and statistical data within a state-of-the-art light modulating LCD (liquid crystal display) screen.

The X1A-AY is able to give the AYTRACK's corresponding armoured fighting vehicle the ability to observe its immediate surrounding operational condition tactically, and to present a rough and general outline of the vehicle's environmental and physical surrounding. Vehicular radio data furthermore link the corresponding vehicle to the AYTRACK immediate fire control command, which will allow the aforementioned vehicle to initiate its operation upon independent fire-strike missions rapidly once the system has delivered the collected position data of the target. The X1A-AYGPS sub-system further serve to reduce the chance of friendly formational casualties by utilising an Anago-Yohannesian X10-A BCIS (battlefield combat identification system).

Once the target within the input of the main AYTRACK screen is located within an ideal, if not suitable range of interception, the gunner will then be able to fire the gun by pressing a launch section located within the computerised LCD screen.

The development of the AYTRACK fire control system has considerably altered the main disadvantage of the previous heavier AY1 'Serenity''s initial prototype model upon production, which utilised a more basic fire control computing programme, and AYTRACK further enhanced the effectiveness of the AY2 'Tiger'.

The gun sight of the AYTRACK fire control system is also locked in conjunction with its telescopic axis sight, providing a parallel combined gun system, with one set of azimuthal drives and set of elevation, and another set of azimuthal sensors and elevation rate, assisted by the utilisation of a gyroscope gun stabilisation system which further enhanced the associated system's elevation and lateral sensor capability, and in finality, considerably altered the capability of the system to control its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle's gun line of sight.

The AYTRACK fire control system features a gunner's operated thermal imaging sight as well as a commander's active control and monitor panel, allowing both of the commander and gunner to retroactively detect, engage, and verified targets at long range, with a high rate of accuracy, and under some of the most unfavourable weather conditions within the battlefied and tactical scope of operation.

AYTRACK in general is divided by two stages in which the commander can select either a low-resolution imagery to identify minor threat, to be followed if necessary by an infra-red, high resolution and radar integrated imagery to provide a more thorough analysis of the target's position, and range. An AYTRACK sub-system commander-operated anti-aircraft sight allows the commander of the AY2 to subsequently engage air targets by utilising the AY2's AY02-MG from within the safety of its turret.

AYTRACK's internally operated target acquisition networking and management systems, infrared and laser ranging controlled data are initiated by controlling its stabilised networking, gunner-operated device to automatically aim the AY2's main gun towards any visible mobile and stationary target, with a twenty four hour day and night capability coverage, providing an accurate ballistic elevation and azimuth offset field position whilst providing a systematic informational gathering input essential upon the accuracy and capability of an effective modern fire control system.

AYTRACK-AH1 command and control interface.

By utilising the features of a combined sensors sight, in conjunction with its application internally within the AYTRACK computerised fire control system, the AY2 has acquired the ability to effectively countermeasure the ever-growing air threats coming from opposing enemy air support aircraft and ground projectile threat, in finality targetting the aforementioned threat from within its combined sensors sight, and thereby to aim its power projectile capability against the aforementioned threat.

The VMK Bureau of Acquisition and Application Management has recently observed as the availability and discovery of state-of-the-art sensors, combined with a range of previously unavailable micro electronics and computerised development has made the realisation of an advanced multi-threat targetting sight enveloped together within a unitary sensor, possible.

After two years of developmental research and quontum, the VMK Head of Procurement and Development Research, Dr. Siti Subrono has decided that the incoming AY2 project, alongside the heavier AY1, would utilise the aforementioned technology, thereby increasing the armoured fighting vehicle's direct projectile effectiveness and surveillance platform capability against opposing rotocraft, land-based power projectile threat, and of course, hostile combat personnel.

Utilising the latest AYD0B active ballistic computer, the system features the ability to automatically verified angular crosswind and target speed input, course angle, and target range. AYD0B ABC act as a mean of informational input firing statistics data storing within the AYTRACK, and is mainy processed to approximately determine and track ballistic informational data, in-between that of the already stored information and the main collectible data.

The flexibility of the AYD0B active computer system enable the AY2's personnel to manually utilise the system's ability to track the associated ambient air temperature and barrel wear air pressure, and the ability to calculate with accuracy the neccesary time that high-explosive, fragmentary projectile controlled detonation should be initiated over an identified and verified target.

The AYD0B computerised system detected multiple ballistic ammunition and projectile types, and its categorised informational input includes the verified target's drift signals, flight time, and superelevation. AYD0B computer system operates by utilising a large collection of several sub-channels which will then transmit the collected operational data through several wires simultaneously, and used together in conjunction with an adjustable first operational amplifier which indicate with relative accuracy and precision the information and range of the tracked, and verified target.

Propulsion and Transmission

Following the path of the heavier AY1, the primary propulsion system of the AY2 is the Forza FB-12TSD, a twelve cylinder water-cooled powerplant, capable of a variety of different fuels, and is being boosted by a forced induction mechanism.

At first, a six cylinder engine was considered as the powerplant, although this was discarded in favour of the twelve cylinder by Forza engineers. The VMK Bureau of Development and Research has previously designed its own engine designated towards the initial prototype of the heavier AY1 Serenity model. Further observation regarding Forza's apparent superiority in the field of engine development and propulsion has however altered the balance towards the proposed Forza engine considerably towards the use of the lighter AY2 project.

As a result, and under the supervision and approval of the Anago-Yohannesian Imperial and Royal Bureau of Procurement, the Forza FB-12TSD engine was chosen as the primary propulsion system of the AY2 Tiger, and all its future variants. A week passed when Forza finally finalized the deal, and the Forza FB-12TSD was chosen and selected officially as the primary propulsion system of the AY2 Tiger.

Because the FB-12TSD was designed to power a much heavier and considerably more expensive Main Battle Tank rather than the more general purpose AY2 Tiger, engineers lowered the compression ratio of the engine which would not only crop the immense power of the engine, but would also improve the fuel economy of the AY2 and the structural integrity of the engine block due to the lesser stresses being placed upon the cylinder walls. The compression ratio was lowered simply by shortening the relatively long stroke of the existing FB-12TSD powerplant by 10mm. In addition to this, the redline was lowered by 200rpm from 4500rpm to 4300rpm.

Twelve cylinder engines are known surreptiously for their superb mechanical balance, a feature which a six cylinder engines lack without the existence of counterweights and their relative symmetry. Another factor which was being put into consideration was the issue of the engine's reliability itself. If a single piston fail and/or suffered any form of major damage within the previously mentioned six cylinder engine, approximately one sixth of the engine's power will be lost.

In a crucial tactical field of operation and counting the ever progressive anti-tank countermeasure capabilities of most of the present militaries, such a blow would result as a serious blow to the performance of the armoured fighting vehicle to maintain its operation effectively within its tactical field of combat zone. As the VMK Bureau of Research and Development, together with the assistance of the Forza engineers discovered however, if a cyclinder fails and/or is damaged within a twelve cyclinder engine, only one twelfth in approximation of the engine's power would be lost, and thereby providing a far lesser detraction from the armoured fighting vehicle's overall mobility within its tactical field of operation.

The pistons are arranged in a boxer layout which is a layout seldom seen except for several high performance sports cars. A flat layout, which is more commonly seen, is near identical in appearence and theory to a boxer engine; there is still a 180 degree angle between the two seperate banks of pistons, however a boxer engine mounts two opposing pistons on two different crank pins as opposed to a flat engine which mounts two pistons on the same crank pin.

Thus, a flat layout is best described as a 180 degree V engine and not a true boxer engine. Boxer engines are reknown for having superb balance and are unique in that a boxer engine does not require counter balances at all on the crank shaft as the engine has superb natural balance. This is further enhanced by the use of twelve cylinders. Boxers are so named because when one looks at the engine from down the crankshaft, the two banks of cylinders will appear to be boxing one another.

The induction system is a variant of Forza's TwinCharger system; a single Roots-type Superchager is used to aspirate the engine at low RPM's with two Turbochargers, one for each bank of cylinders, aspirating the engine further down the rev-range. TwinCharging systems have a number of advantages over other forms of forced induction. Unlike Turbocharged engines, Twincharged engines do not experience turbo-lag, where the turbochargers are ineffective because they are not at operating speeds.

Unlike supercharged engines, Twincharged engines can decouple the supercharger from the engine so that it won't drain power to operate while still maintaining boost from the turbochargers. The two forms of forced induction do not operate in parallel in a bid to avoid the extremely high manifold temperatures which would be produced by the supercharger blowing into the turbocharger. As such, the supercharger is decoupled as soon as the turbocharger activates on the FB-12TSD. The TwinCharger system allows the AY2 to have constant boost and thus give exceptional acceleration at all engine speeds; something crucial for a battlefield environment.

The engine block itself is made from aluminium alloy, comprised of 11% silicon, 4% manganese and 0.5% magnesium. This Al-Alloy has a high thermal conductivity and hence is able to dissipate heat quicker than cast iron. Also, it leads more thermal efficiency, cooler running engines and are lighter thereby improving the overall vehicle’s operative characteristics.

In total, the engine has a total displacement of 32,240 cubic centimetres or 32.24 Litres, which equates to 2.687 Litres per cylinder. This detuned version of the FB-12TSD, with its slightly lower compression ratio, extracts a still potent 37kw per litre (10kw per litre down on the standard engine) for a total power output of 1170kw.

In addition to the primary powerplant, a secondary Auxiliary Power Unit is also provided. This APU is a four litre Inline four multi-fuel engine which provides 100kw of power. The APU can be used to slowly move the tank out of danger and power any high-priority electric systems should the primary powerplant fail, but is also used to provide power to move the main turret, reducing some of the strain on the primary powerplant.

Exhaust fumes and gases are passed out the rear of the tank, through a double muffler and particle filter. Exhaust gases are diluted with outside air to reduce their heat signature. This is done by sucking air through a small inlet flush against the tank and mixing the cool outside air with the exhaust gases. Exhausted and outside air meet in a special Y tube, with a radiator being mounted on the stem of the Y, sucking air from both stems through to the exhaust.

Sound-deadening engine covers are also fitted to the engine to reduce the noise both inside and outside the cabin. Forza engineers are normally ardent at reducing the NVH of large luxury cars but found the same basic principles applied to armoured vehicles. Double-insulated sound covers are placed in a box to cover the engine, which is itself mounted on springs to quell vibrations. The top of this box can be easily removed to lift the whole engine out. As a result, the AY2, similar to the AY1, is much quieter inside and out than the majority of most other main battle tanks.

The transmission in the AY2 is a specialized gearbox made for the armoured fighting vehicle especially. The Transmission, dubbed the 8GDCT, has eight forward gears and four reverse gears in a double clutch system. In Double Clutch Transmissions the two clutches are arranged concentrically with the larger outer clutch drives the odd numbered gears (1,3,5,7) whilst the smaller inner clutch drives the even numbered gears (2,4,6,8).

Shifts can be accomplished without interrupting torque distribution to the driveshaft, by applying the engine's torque to one clutch at the same time as it is being disconnected from the other clutch. Since alternate gear ratios can pre-select an odd gear on one gear shaft whilst the vehicle is being driven in an even gear. This means the Double Clutch Gearbox can change gears much faster than any single clutch transmission and much more smoothly. The transmission is also responsible for splitting some of the engine power from the demand for mobility to power the multitude of electronics that make up the AY2.

The transmission shifts gears automatically and is programmed to keep the tank in the optimum gear for the conditions being experienced. This, when matched with the wide torque band, gives the AY2 unparalleled mobility at any given engine speed. The 8GDCT also has an overtorque function which liberates an extra 400nm from the engine, which allows the AY2, similar to the heavier AY1, to act as a tug, pulling or pushing other armoured fighting vehicles (including other main battle tanks) out of dangerous situations.

Active Defence

The AYHK9 Active Protection System was developed by VWK AG under the assistance and guidance of the VMK Bureau of Design Committee, a semi-governmental bureacratic advisory board to the VWK AG, a semi-governmental controlled publicly traded company. The immediate aim of the research and task of the VMK Bureau of Design Committe then was the creation of a satisfactory if not an acceptable level of protection for Anago-Yohannesian armoured fighting vehicles in the face of the ever-growing capacity and power projectile reach of most of the present anti-tank battle systems and threats internationally.

Worldwide, the advancement of anti-armoured vehicle measure systems, whether it coming from the air and ground, has developed at a rapid pace. The ongoing cold hostility between nations of the world has seen a period of military innovations and technological advancement unheard of over the previous decades. The majority of modern armoured fighting vehicles utilised a system in which its associated crews identified the aforementioned threat by relying on their field of eyesight vision and other passive defence systems such as the launching of a smoke screen envelopment alone to form a barrier around the vehicle, taking into account of course the availability of friendly infantry formations and the associated speed of the armoured fighting vehicle itself, within the vicinity of its operational ground.

However the rapid development and adoption of multiple armoured fighting vehicle countermeasure systems and tactics worldwide has seen the utilisation of such passive defence initiation to be outdated at best, and redundant at worst. The development of laser guided and infra-red radiatory illuminatory means of detecting armoured fighting vehicles within its vicinity, together with the ever increasing pace of development upon various active anti-vehicle guided missile internationally, futhermore, has opened the eyes of the VMK Bureau of Development and Research Committee that the realisation of an active protection system within the incoming AY series of main battle tank project would be a must.

It was during the developmental phase of the AY main battle tank concept that the project was declared by the VMK Bureau of Design Committee, in conjunction to that of the Anago-Yohannesian Imperial and Royal Ministry of Defence, to be categorically regarded as a clear project in majority. The systems allowed for its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle to withstand and survive operationally the threat active threat provided in the form of the aforementioned means of detection, by utilising its own active countermeasure and tracking systems against the incoming projectile and/or missile, thereby creating a condition in which the aforementioned projectile and/or missile guidance systems would at best fail, and at worst, would be able to eliminate the aforementioned threat.

The establishment of the said protocol was done only however, through numerous successful and favourably effective demonstrations, consequentially in the AYHK9 ADS's capability to neutralise anti-tank guided missiles and rockets, its corresponding acceptable low rate and high safety levels regarding friendly casualty chance and low percentage, and minimal collateral damage, with that of an acceptable rate of residual penetration. As a result, the AYHK9 Active Protection System was chosen as the ADS (active defence system) of the heavier AY1 Serenity. Furthermore, development of the AY2 Tiger has seen the adoption of the AYHK9 as the AY2's choice of active defence system.

The AYHK9 ADS defeats and intercepted incoming threats by utilising a hemispheric barrier zone around the corresponding armoured vehicle, in which the utilisation of IR and millimeter wave signals is initiated by targetting hostile missiles or projectiles, which preceded the initiation of screening grenades. These sensors will then delievered its encrypted signals to the corresponding crew within the AY2. The crucial elements within the AYHK9 active protection system are the ability of the AYHK9 ADS to detect and track incoming threat by utilising an internal softkill emitter sensor which will then be automatically processed into the AYHK9 computer system, and its ability to countermeasure and effectively intercept the said threat.

Several sensors needed for the corresponding full hemispherical coverage, for example a collection of flat panel radars which is subsequently placed at strategic locations around the armoured vehicle, are included within the AYHK9's detection and tracking subsystem. Infrared and millimeter wave detectors are also included and inter-connected into a single transmitter within the system, and are attached outside the AY1 Serenity's quadrant points. Each of these has an infra-red detection and a millimetre wave tracking system, together with an encrypted early warning transmission device which will then transmit any collected informational input to the AY2 Tiger's crew.

The associated receiver of the transmitted informational data will then passed on the information to the commander of the associated formational vehicle, and the commander will then proceed to active the AYHK9-A3 control and tracking sub-system. The aforementioned information will then be processed by the commander's computerised inter-connected sub-system computerised screen, which will then encrypted the aforemtioned data, and proceed to either countermeasure the identified threat manually, and/or let the system eliminate it automatically.

Once an incoming threat is detected, identified, and verified, the AYHK9 ADS countermeasure sub-system and device will then be activated and positioned accordingly so as to effectively intercept the verified threat, and the vehicle's designated commander will then be able to activate a systematic button which automatically compute the origination of the threat's direction, and alter the position of the tank's turret towards its direction. It will then be launched automatically into the aforementioned intercepted threat in the form of a ballistic trajectory, so as to provide an adequately long distance of threat interception, within a computerised timeframe of approximately four seconds.

Due to the broad hemispherical coverage of its internally built laser threat identifier aforementioned above, the AYHK9 ADS is capable of providing a full three hundred and sixty degree active protection scope of operation to its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle, with its targetted range of projectile within its sensory system to include those of anti-tank guided missiles and grenades, and almost any known and visible target within approximately one hundred metres' surrounding of its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle scope of operation.

In regard to the possibility of a newly emerging projectile incoming target to be identified by the soft-kill emittor sensor, the hard-kill computerised system will then identify and verify the input of the new incoming projectile at a distance of approximately two metres from the system's corresponding armoured fighting vehicle, so as to minimise any unwanted trajectory friendly-fire casualties, all within a reactionary timeframe of just two seconds in-between the old, and the new targetted projectile threat.

The AYHK9 ADS is also equipped with its own radiometric countermeasure sub-system, which can be utilised to render invalid any milimetre wave sensory guidance system targetting its associated vehicle, which can be employed by hostile missiles to act as a projectory guide towards the the AY2 Tiger. Dubbed the AYXA-1BS the countermeasure sub-system utilised the existence of a repetitive source of milimetre wave, and an inter-connected system of attenuator and circular light convertor to transmit the radiatory milimetre wave signal around the armoured fighting vehicle's immediate surrounding environment.

The aforementioned process will then create a substantial electromagnetic field within the vicinity of the vehicle, which was conceptualised to provide a sufficient radiatory intensity to match the AY2 Tiger's surrounding environmental features, such as any surrounding buildings and/or trees within its vicinity. As a result, any sensory detection and radiatory guidance system initiated to assist any hostile missiles towards the AY2 Tiger will be rendered invalid and defunct, thereby increasing its survivability rate operationally.

Observability Limitation

Ever since the invention of armoured fighting vehicle itself, the utilisation of a mean whereby a signature reduction and/or observability limitation was achieved by way of field camouflaging to avoid any possibility of unnecessary case of sensor and visual detection towards the armoured fighting vehicle's within its field of operation, due to various factors such as the heating of the vehicle's engine.

Signature reduction has always been deemed as one of the essential factors upon the successful conclusion of its mission, and the survivability rate of the the vehicle itself, and its associated crews. Knowing full well the effectiveness of a functionally reliable observation reduction systems, the VMK AG Bureau of Procurement and Research has not ceased to stressed the importance of the aforementioned field of technical research in regard to its development within the new main battle tank project.

An existing camouflage system used most commonly worldwide, known as the LCSS (ightweight camouflage screening system) signature reduction method has been deemed as relatively ineffective by the VMK AG Bureau of Procurement and Research, and a mean of further increasing the effectiveness of its future main battle tank and any subsequent armoured fighting vehicle projects, was therefore considered, and in finality initiated with vigour.

Existing signature reduction means found in most battle systems would be the utilisation of several camouflaging layer which can be screened together to provide extra section of its corresponding attached armoured fighting vehicle. The successful conclusion of the vehicle's mission, and its corresponding crews rate of survivability was crucial in regard to the successful initiation and disconnecting process of the aforementioned vehicle's camouflage screen layers. A quick dismemberment therefore, would be essential in determining the increasing rate of survivability and time saving operational capability of the vehicle within its associated operation.

The development of the VWK Research and Procurement Team has resulted in a signature reduction system whereby in the possibility a point of contact between its camouflage screen layer with that of its surrounding equipments was reached, little if not almost no major physical damage would result from its point of contact. Dubbed by the VWK Bureau of Development and Research as the "Lotion", it consists of a multispectral light-weight, ultra camouflage net system, based upon the existing ULCANS system.

Lotion consists of two becket block of loops attached together at the screen of the corresponding camouflaging layer, formed in an alternating conjunction with long becket block of loops, and to be initiated repeatedly. A detachment of the attached becket will then automatically dismembered rapidly the aforementioned becket loops from each other, and thus limiting the existence of a rigid plastic structure within the system, and further decreasing its associated armoured fighting vehicle's chance of detection from hostile infrared radiatory initiation.

Another innovation made by the VMK AG was a domestically manufactured infrared camouflage screen within Lotion, which decrease the rate of infrared detection of the Lotion's associated armoured fighting vehicle from hostile infrared detection devices and initiation. The layer consists of lightweight pores-contained materials, which will then be attached with strips to its corresponding layer, with the ability to appropriately reducing, depending on the circumstance involved, its corresponding armoured fighting vehicle's infrared detection rate, and is deemed to be effective at a range of over 50 metres from any present infrared and similar means of detection.

Crew Amenities

Commonality and Anago-Yohannesian systems tradition has seen the AY2 Tiger's utilisation of the heavier AY1 Serenity's AY09 AFEDSS (AY09 Automatic Fire and Explosion Detection and Suppression System). AY09 AFEDSS is a fully automatic combat operational detection, control, and suppression system, instantaneous and flexibly adjustable to that of a normal and combat mode setting, to be altered as to the circumstances involved within the operational and tactical surrounding of the AY2.

The development was a result of the then requirement essentially needed by the Kaiserlichen und Königlichen Streitkräfte (Anago-Yohannesian Imperial and Royal Armed Defence Forces) following its poorly planned participation within the Santa Serrifian territorial sovereignty during the Santa Serriffe Civil War of 1981, when the proportionally needless casualties as a result of the Santa Serriffan rebel faction detachments' utilisation and initiation of its collective HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) weapon rounds upon the rank of its operational opposing Anago-Yohannesian formations tactically.

Therefore some of the utmost requirements needed by the K.u.K.Streitkräfte following a lengthy general staff debate were the increasing survivability chance of its crew and vehicle, and the availability of an add-on modular design, which consequently enable the factors of commonality and interchangeability between the K.u.K.Streitkräfte's combat vehicles. Various cases were experienced upon whereas a sizeable number of Anago-Yohannesian tank crews were either injured or killed when the aforementioned crews' respective vehicles was damaged, and enveloped in fire.

The primary reason behind the AY09 AFEDSS's development by the VMK Bureau of Design Committee was solely based by virtue upon the AY09's potency to provide a projectile penetration combat protection to AY2 Tiger's three crews and engine on the battlefied by instantly discharging and suppressing fire and/or explosions.

AY09 AFEDSS also features the ability to detect the rise and fall of temperatures within the compartment of the engine by utilising an overheat wire detector, systematicaly detect and verified a first-degree pressure shock-capabled explosion and/or fire within 3.5 ms and suppress it within 110 ms, by utilising its optical fire detection and protection system against HEAT and/or KE (kinetic energy) round penetration, and an operational dual mode automatic status indicator which systematically provide a backing capability in the event of a major malfunctioning of the system.

Furthermore, the AY2 features a central air cooled crew compartment system and a liquid heater based on the engine to accomodate the crew compartment with heating during any possible operations conducted within the period of winter season, which additionally reduce the AY1's engine heat signature based system. An NBC protected water tank sub-system is also connected to the liquid heater, which can be used for the AY2 crew's neccessary personal use of cold and/or hot waters in time of need.

The presence of an easily-accessible small armaments storage within the AY2's turret is designated towards the respective crew members' defensive need on the likelihood of any unfavourable scenarios, and a higher rate of survivability was reached by significantly reducing vehicular exposure and pressure shock with the application of an AYX47-B1 fibreoptic connections towards the AY2's electronics.

Armour

During the course of the development of the Adversus Tank Armour, which would be used on the A2, and subsequently AY1 and AY2 series, different armour concepts came up that could be used for future projects (i.e., Cross-wise oriented NERA panels).

Adversus is the latest in the LAIX ARMS line-up of armour solutions for tanks, originating from the Free Republic of Lamoni. During the heavier AY1 Serenity main battle tank's development programme, the Anago-Yohannesian Imperial and Royal Ministry of Defence has decided, per offer by that of the Lamonian Free Republic, a close ally of the Anago-Yohannesian Empire, to incorporate the Adversus battle armoured system towards the AY1 'Serenity' main battle tank. Following the realisation of the lighter and more mobile AY2 'Tiger' main battle tank however, Adversus was once again incorporated into yet another one of VMK AG's latest land battle systems.

Adversus starts with Exote, which is rated as being effective against small arms armour piercing rounds (including 15 mm armour piercing rounds). The Exote layer is expected to deal with small arms fire and shrapnel from enemy weapons fire. Exote is Titanium Carbide ceramic particles in a metallic matrix. In this case, the metallic matrix is RHA, making it ductile, which greatly improves its multi-hit capabilities while preserving typical ceramic terminal ballistic properties -- high hardness and ablation.

Due to the fact that the ceramic has been suspended in matrix form instead of sintered together, it is cheaper than ceramic tile armor arrays, while providing calculated protection levels equivalent to a 1.77x thickness efficiency, and 2.25x mass efficiency, compared to RHA alone. This process means that Exote is classified as a Metal Matrix Composite, or MMC. Exote-Armour was invented and first manufactured by Exote Ltd., a Finnish corporation.

Upon impact by an armour-piercing round, Exote’s Titanium Carbide particles wear down the round via ablation, until the round is effectively turned into dust. Exote also spreads out the energy of the round, and distributes it over a larger area, thus fully neutralizing impact. The damage area is only 20-30% larger than the caliber of the hit, and the rest of the plate will still remain protective. This makes Exote a multi-hit armour, which provides excellent protection from small arms, with a lighter weight than RHA alone. The Exote is also used to contain the rest of the armour package.

Lamonian innovations in the form of extruded para-organic resilin are also used. Resilin is an elastomeric fibrous compound found within the musculature of insects. To quote Dr Chris Elvin of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation;

“Resilin has evolved over hundreds of millions of years in insects into the most efficient elastic protein known...”

Resilin shown under UV at 360nm.

Using genetically modified E.Coli bacteria, the CSIRO team was able to synthetically generate a soluble Resilin protein, based upon the cloning and expression of the first exon of the Drosophila CG15920 gene. By means of a CSIRO-patented process, the resulting resilin rubber was shown to have structurally near-perfect resilience nature, with a ninety-seven percent post-stress recovery.

The next-nearest competitors are synthetic polybutadiene ‘superball’ high resilience rubber (80 per cent) and elastin (90 per cent). The cross-linking process itself is remarkably simple. It needs only three components - the protein, generally lactose, or a near analog, a metal ligand complex, ruthenium in this case, and an electron acceptor. The mixture is then flashed with visible light of 452 nanometers wavelength to form the polymer - within 20 seconds, the proteins will be cross-linked into a matrix with remarkable tensile strength.

Like it's Acerbitas (and Acerbitas-B) cousin, the Resilin used in Adversus is intended, as with NERA generally, to warp, bend or bulge the Aermet 100 plates upon impact. As the plates move, bullets are subjected to transverse and shear forces, diminishing their penetration, and shaped-charge weapons find their plasma jets unable to readily focus on a single area of armor. In the case of segmented projectiles, the transverse forces are less pronounced, compared to unitary variants, but the movement of the plate essentially forces the projectile to penetrate twice, again lowering total impact upon the platform protected.

The Resilin components are layered with Aermet 100 plates. The Aermet plates are angled, as penetrators striking angled plates will bend into the direction the plate is facing. This action on the part of the penetrator serves to significantly reduce the impact of the penetrator itself, as the penetrator expends energy on this bending motion, instead of being allowed to focus all of its kinetic energy on a single spot on the armour.

Aermet 100 alloy features high hardness and strength, coupled with high ductility. Aermet 100 alloy is used for applications requiring high strength, high fracture toughness, high resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and fatigue. Aermet 100 is more difficult to machine than other steels; Aermet being specially graded martensitic steel, and requires the use of carbide tools.

Composite Sandwich Panels are used both to increase the structural integrity of the armour, as well as to catch fragments that are created by enemy fire. The outside of the panels are composed of one centimeter thick plates of Aermet 100 alloy. One such plate is placed on either side of the panel. The interior of each panel consists of a three centimeter thick honeycomb of hexagonal celled, thickness oriented Aermet 100, where each cell of the honeycomb measures six millimeters across. Each hexagonal cell is filled with a mix of sintered Titanium Diboride (TiB2) ceramic tiles, and vinylester resin. This adds additional ceramic protection to the armor.

Ti-6Al-4V is a very popular alloy of Titanium. Designed for high tensile strength applications in the 1000 MPa range, the alloy has previously been used for aerospace, marine, power generation and offshore industries applications. Ti-6Al-4V offers all-round performance for a variety of weight reduction applications. It is used to sandwich the Depleted Uranium mesh, encase the SiC ceramic, and as the majority of the armor after that.

As chemically pure Depleted Uranium is very brittle, and is not as strong as alloys, U-3Ti alloy is used for the DU mesh. This alloy has a density of 18.6 grams per cubic centimeter. The alloy displays higher strength, and less brittleness than chemically pure Depleted Uranium.

Silicon Carbide encased in Ti-6Al-4V comes after this, with the Titanium alloy being used to encapsulate the SiC ceramic, as well as assist in hydrostatic prestressing, which is known to extend interface defeat. The SiC is isostatically pressed into the heated matrix; which more securely binds the ceramic into place.

Interface Defeat is a phenomenon observed when a hypervelocity penetrator strikes a sufficiently hard ceramic. The penetrator flattens its nose against the ceramic without penetrating into the ceramic for up to several microseconds, with penetrator material flowing laterally across the face of the ceramic until the ceramic starts to crack. As soon as cracks form, the lateral flow stops and penetration resumes. This effect is also called "dwell" in some publications. Silicon Carbide is excellent for producing this effect.

More Ti-6Al-4V is used as the bulk of the armor after the encased SiC, which has a superior mass efficiency relative to RHA, while its thickness efficiency is a bit lower (about 0.9:1).

The chassis is located behind this, with Dyneema being used as a spall liner. In Anago-Yohannesian main battle tanks, the chassis would likely consist of RHA, to replicate that of the Lamonian main battle tanks.

Most of the armour is concentrated on the frontal arc, with the sides also being covered, but to a lesser degree. The rear of the tank (like all tanks) is protected by RHA. Where logically applicable, the Anago-Yohannesian monarchy followed the Lyran designed Hauberk ERA in order to increase the protection levels of the tank. This includes use of Hauberk on the tank’s roof, which helps to protect the AY1 Serenity against top attack munitions.

'Hauberk' shaped-charged explosive reactive armor is fitted as standard (though can be removed), designed to destroy (or at the very least severely degrade) hostile munitions, be they HE-based or kinetic penetrators. 'Hauberk' is also available from yet another ally of the Anago-Yohannesian Empire, the Lyran Protectorate, at no extra cost, and has been designed specifically to take advantage of research into explosive reactive armor carried out at the Lughenti Testing Range, of which the Anago-Yohannesian government has noted most thankfully.

Owing considerably to its 'Rainmaker' ancestor, 'Hauberk' differs from 'Rainmaker' in two ways. The first change is a shift in the formation of the explosively formed penetrators of the defensive system, from directly opposing the projectile (firing along the same axis as the most likely threat at any given armor location) to a slanted system, angling (approximately) 45degrees up. The new system not only leaves 'Hauberk' considerably more compact, but dramatically improves its effectiveness against kinetic munitions of all forms.

The 'Hauberk' HERA system is composed of “bricks” making each “brick” easily replaceable once used and allowing the system to be fitted to AFVs already in service. The “bricks” are lightweight (at around 3kg) and this allows them to be positioned on as many areas of the tank as needs require.

An Aermet 100 Mine Protection Plate has been incorporated onto the underside of the AY1, which offers protection from mines, and IEDs. This protection is in addition to the crew seating, and other protection measures.

The turret front and sides are fitted with wedge-shaped add-on armor in sections, which can easily be replaced by field workshops if hit or, at a later stage, be replaced by more advanced armour. Aermet 100 alloy provides the outer casing, with a layer of Resilin to work against CE threats. U-3Ti alloy DU spheres encased in an Aermet 100 matrix cause KE rounds to yaw, reducing their penetration. The “wedge” armour is backed by more Aermet 100 alloy plating.
