My Personal Promise, I am an experienced nationstater, this is my new account. I have taken a long break but decided to get back into the game, I have spent alot of time working on my writeups, or in the case of STRV-131, AWFP-202X and ITAR-1A1 Worked with Elektrograd as an artist to realize my vision. I can promise that the STRV-131 is one of the best choices on the market as a MBT for the modern era, if a bit expensive compared to its competitors, from a design perspective and feature set, if you disagree feel free to read the linked technical document that explains the rational and its features. On this market I hope to and will continue to bring top of the line products with specifications based when possible on their actual design. When I say the STRV-131 has 1.3m LOS at the front of the turret its because I have measured it based on internals. My technologies may be obscure, such as the LBAR-18 and LBSG-40 which are based on AAI 18.5mm rocket smgs or the Svalja which is an X wing, but that is because I think that such tropes are underused and deserve a place in the ever changing NS feilds of battle. It is my hope my gear can fill a niche in your armed forces and lead you to victory in a forign land or in defence of your home.

Full ImageIn the Late 80s the Swedish Military began work on a program intended to design a domestic MBT to combat future Soviet Armored Threats, a trend that was sweeping across Western Nations, The Leopard KW III, of Germany, the Challenger 2 PIP of Great Britain, the Swiss NKPZ, The US CATTB and Block Three Abrams program of the USA. These programs universally experimented with unconventional layouts that broke from the normal design language of their nations of origin. The Leopard 2 KWIII had a gun offset to the left, with some layouts putting the turret crew, all in the same hemisphere. The Challenger 2 PIP, was a smaller vehicle then the Base Challenger 2, more akin to a soviet design, with a carousel autoloader for its 140mm cannon. The Swiss NKPZ used a 140mm cannon, possibly the NPZK 140mm that Germany was experimenting with, and an engine forward design. The CATTB used the xm291 ATAC, an interesting cannon that was made to be able to mount either a 120mm barrel or a 140mm barrel. The Swedes design followed these trends, a 140mm smoothbore cannon mounted in a innovated system that sealed the breach from the rest of the turret, in a semi-cleft turret arrangement where the breach articulated independently of the turret as to be able to reach significant levels of gun depression while still keeping the vehicles profile lower than its contemporaries. It used hydropneumatic suspension, for a smoother ride and to be able to adjust ridge height to better fight in the Nordic Landscape. A Bofors 40mm autocannon was mounted coaxially in a similar arrangement to these main gun, the idea being that rather than wasting a main gun round on a apc or other “soft target” the gunner would engage with the bofors, an idea which has been considered and attempted numerous times, the most well know of which being the original design specifications for the Xm1 program including a 25mm bushmaster mounted coaxially, almost universally by the time the vehicle reaches prototyping or production such features are dropped for the following reasons:
The Coaxial autocannon takes up a lot of space which is needed for other components
The Coaxial Autocannon would almost invariably have extremely limited ammo as there is not much free space in an mbt where belts of autocannon ammunition can be stowed
The gunner or commander will almost always rather engage targets which the autocannon is intended to engage with their main gun rather then bothering with the autocannon
That said, for whatever reason the designers of the STRV-2000 elected to pursue this design feature by mounting a 40mm Bofors coaxily. The STRV-2000 also elected to stow additional rounds in a bin mounted off of the hull rear rather than in a hull stowage system. In any case, the strv-2000 was by far the most ambitious MBT program of its time however, it would not come to be. With the Soviet Union growing ever frailer and a lack of forign export interest due to its heavy unit weight, lack of availability due to non NATO standardized ammunition, high individual unit cost and maintenance, the program was cancelled and it was elected that a more conservative option would be selected from the forign market. This resulted in the 1997 Swedish Tank Trials, in which the Leopard 2 won out and would be upgraded into the STRV-121 and subsequently 122. As the years have passed, it has become clear to the swedish military that it is time for a new platform, and as the world has become ever more tense and volatile, a need has arisen for a new design for Sweden, by Sweden, one capable of bringing about the might and fury that Sweden used to have so very long ago. Thus was born Project Carolus.
Design Overview:
The STRV-131, or Carolus is a slightly more conventional design then the Strv-2000 however it is no less ambitious or cutting edge. Starting off at the top of the vehicle with the turret. The STRV-131s turret is large for an MBT, but not all that tall. Assuming a 50 cm ride height, the copula of the commander is 230cm high and the gunners is 224cm, the center ridge of the turret, which juts above the flank decks of the turret is __ at its highest point. This ridge, sometimes referred to as the turret mohawk or mane, serves to allow the gun to depress up to -12 degrees, from here the gun can further depress via a roof articulation however, this is only possible in non NBC conditions. The turret is also exceptionally wide, at its widest point, being the same width as the hull without applique packages, however the turret tappers back to the bustle. The whole design of the turret is an attempt at resolving two conflicting design ideals, the desire for a low profile turret which minimizes the exposed cross section of the turret in a hull down or turret down position while also maximizing gun depression in order to engage targets from hull or turret down positions. Usually these factors of turret design are contradicting, to get good gun depression one must either have a semi-cleft turret as in the STRV-2000 and some Leopard 2 KWIII proposals, or one must have the turret be high enough to accommodate the breech blocks depression. This an issue as for most nations where doctrinally -8 to -10° degrees of depression is completely sufficient, however, in the Nordic theater where long open sight lines are the normal, the ability to dig in to the point where the barrel is exposed along with the center ridge and nothing else, is a massive boon. By having the raised center along with the low profile flanks the Carolus archives the best of both worlds. The central ridge does however create an optics issue as it would by its nature block the line of sight of panoramic optics. To resolve this issue, the Gunners panoramics and the commanders panoramics are electro-optically linked so that either crew member can “see through” the ridge. To further supplement situational awareness, several small cameras are placed in blind spots of the panoramics.
On the subject of optics, the STRV-131 has an unrivaled optical suite, who’s specifics will be touched on later. However, the so-called OCOS mast, Over Cover Optical System, is a telescoping mast mounted combined Optics/thermal suite as well as a laser range finder. The assembly is essentially a slimmed CPS-20 system, the same as the commander's primary optics and mounted on a three axis of motion mount. When deployed the mast can reach a height of 4m in addition to the height of the tank. Located turret rear on the left deck behind the gunners copula. When not in use by the commander and when fully stowed, the sight functions as the Gunner's Auxiliary sight. When in use by the commander, it is fully capable of gun laying. The mast is deployed by the commander via the COIC (Commanders Optical Instrument Control) board located next to the VMPC (Vehicle Master Power Control) where a slide toggle can be used to adjust the height. The shutters can also be toggled open or closed via this board. The sight is manipulated via a collective, the sight can be toggled between thermal optics and daylight optics via a toggle. To change the zoom power of the sight, a three toggle switch ranging from in order of position down to up: x3 power, x8 power, x10 power. The sensitivity of the sights movement changes at each of these settings. By pressing down on the collective (depressing it into its base), “beaming” the target with the laser range finder and holding for one second, the turret can be slaved to a target, engaging the fire control system. The feed from this mast is visible via a monitor located, in the commanders case, beneath the commanders unit power window and to the right of the CPS eyepiece: In the gunners case, the screen is located to the immediate right of the GPS Viewfinder, with a simplified COIC board without the height control or FCS functionality. The OCOS Mast is most commonly used by the gunner in a situation where the vehicle is turret down and thus the gunner's primary sight cannot view the target. In this situation the sight would be raised to peak over the hill and perform the duty of the GPS. In situations where thermal smoke is deployed by the target, the STRV-131 can utilize a rudimentary radar gunsight installed above the barrel. Underneath the main gun, a small optical instrument is mounted, named the corner camera, this camera allows the STRV-131 to “peak” around corners in urban environments or over all gain a better sense of situational awareness when turret down.
Hull wise, the STRV-131 is designed to be narrow and relatively short vertically,and as a consequence is slightly long in order to accommodate the 2000hp PHI MFT-2000 multi fuel turbine.
In terms of protection the STRV-131 has a plethora of systems aiding in its survivability

The VSMB-16 lång hals, or Vanlig skrovmissilbärare-16, is a ATGM carrier based upon the Common hull of the STRV-131. Translating litterally to Common Hull Missile Carrier, the -16 stands for the 16 missiles in the launcher. The Vehicle was designed in response to the ever growing threat of CSTO. A 48 pack vertical launch ATGM carrier was also debated, but dropped due to costs and technical challenges. The VSMB-16 is designed to sit behind a ridge or a tree line with the hull of the vehicle obscured, and only the search radar exposed, the launcher below angled up at a 25° angle to avoid obstructions. When a target or targets are spotted using a thermal optic suite, the targeting radar is switched on, before launching either one or two missiles at the target, each tube carries a single 290mm OTES-II ATGM, and a so called vildgås 45mm inert FFGP, a guided inert dummy missile designed to trigger ADS imminently before the main ATGM arrives, allowing the weapon to bypass most hard kill active protection systems. In this manner a single vehicle can take out eight to 16 MBTs simultaneously only exposing a 6 cm square target profile.
The OTES-II ATGM designed for the platform is the evolution of the OTES-I. At 29x210cm it is one of the largest Ground Launched ATGMs in the world. The OTES-II can reach a velocity of 530m/s, and is a Fly Over Attack Missile Where the warhead has an optical and magnetic sensor. The optical sensor serves to find the target's range, while the magnetic sensor detects metallic targets to determine the best point for the missile to detonate. It contains both a proximity fuse and an inertial impact fuse. Propulsion is achieved by way of a single solid fuel rocket motor with two exhausts on either side of the missile. The off-set exhausts cause the missile to spin during flight. Guidance control is provided by two pop-out control surfaces at the rear of the missile (four additional surfaces help stabilize the missile during flight). The Missile is armed with a pair of vertically striking Explosively formed penetrator warheads, which each direct a self-forging slug of metal downwards at extreme velocities using a high explosive blast. The Weapon has a range up to 8km in theory however this can be even larger as the weapon is capable of being guided in by friendly forces from up to 20km, here the missile takes a high trajectory before diving 1km out from the target, leveling off as it passes overhead.

Infantry Equipment
The Advanced Warfighter Program or AWFP-202X seeks to revolutionize the warfighter for the modern era, AWFP-202X is a complete Package which includes the following:
SGS TSNMG-4(21)-240
the SGS TSNMG-4(21)-240 system is a fourth generation combat PNVG system intended to be used by swedish forces, featuring fourth generation image intensifiers with built in advanced AI denoising and artificial depth of field algorithms in order to achieve a greater image clarity then any other night vision system, however, in addition to that, the SGS TSNMG-4(19)-240 integrates a QQRT-3 wide aperture thermal imaging system which highlights thermal signatures over a certain threshold or over a certain magnitude of size in orange hues to aid in quick spotting. These QQRT-3s can either be mounted on just optic two to provide thermal recognition in the frontal 90° arc, or also on optics one and four, to provide coverage on the 50° arcs to the sides. The SGS TSNMG-4(21)-240 is also the first PNG system in the world to offer a field of view greater than that normally possible by the human eye, which is normally 190° forward looking, 220° horizontal max eye movement without moving head, ~190° vertical. This system offers a 240h190v FOV, this is possible because the goggles optics are displayed on a screen designed to mesh onto the HT Stridshjälms visor, the display uses advanced algorithms to compress the visual feed at the extremes of the human field of vision ~72° to the left and right, with the feed being compressed to greater extents the more extreme the angle gets, this combined with the thermal overlay is useful because once the user has been trained and gotten used to the system, it makes target equation based on motion and thermal signature much quicker, at the same time not interfering with the combat performance of the user as the majority of the “picture” is unaffected. each of the four image intensifiers that comprise the system can be removed and used independently, the user can even toggle, should they desire, the helmet feed to switch to that detached optic, by pressing and holding a toggle switch on the optic, so he can view around a corner without exposing themselves. The array also incorporates a ultrahigh-resolution display, the aforementioned screen that meshes with the helmet's visor and an embedded wireless personal area network that uses augmented reality algorithms to interface with the operator’s end-user device. The complete system facilitates a hyper-enabled operator with the ability to interface with multiple sensors throughout the battlespace, providing enhanced interoperability and data sharing. The whole array is shock hardened and ruggedized as will as waterproof, with a two 6mm 5mm C3E Ultra clarified polyurethane cladding with .5mm separation between layers to prevent shock load transfer, these panes are designed in quick swap screw on and lock system to allow for quick, easy replacement of a damaged lense in field. Each lense is designed to cancel out distortion from the other, and by twisting the lense, the bend of the lense can be adjusted for one panel use. The whole frame is constructed out of a doped, aircraft grade Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 alloy, which is a Novel Low-Density, High-Hardness, High- entropy Alloy with Close-packed Single-phase Nanocrystalline Structures, which has a density comparable to aluminum, but it is stronger than titanium alloys, possessing a combination of high strength and low density that is unmatched by any other metallic material The strength-to-weight ratio is comparable to ceramics, it’s less brittle than ceramics. This means that the array is not only significantly lighter than its contemporary but is also extremely rugged.
Helt Slutna Stridshjälm
Part of the ongoing advanced warfighter program started in 2020, the Helt Slutna Stridshjälm, fully enclosed combat helmet, is Sweden's answer to the need for a new infantry helmet to keep pace with the ever evolving battlefield. Designed to keep its user safe from ballistic, NBC, thermobaric and other threats, it became apparent to designers that a fully enclosed helmet would be necessary for the new design. The helmet consists of three components, the helmet itself, the mandibles, and the visor.
The helmet itself is designed with a flat “Brim” for easy mourning of Night Vision Systems, but which does not obstruct upwards visibility, the helmet angles out and back from this point as it approaches the sides. There is not a “side brim” but rather a generally curving side panel that covers slightly below the jawline. These plates have insert slots for the mandible portions of the helmet. The helmet is constructed of a 5mm thick doped Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 alloy shell, which provides a 50% increase in protection compared to the standard UHMW Polyethylene shell and is in the same weight range despite being significantly larger, under the shell is a layer of Diamene a material comprised of two atomic thick layers of graphene and under that a layer of sorbothane a synthetic viscoelastic urethane polymer used as a shock absorber and vibration damper. The helmet itself is floating, meaning an adjustable mesh shell is molded on the wearers head, keeping the helmets rear and side wall(with exception of built in headphones) roughly 1mm off the users head, this mesh is designed to compress in order to absorb ballistic trauma without transferring it form the helmet to the wears skull. Due to the helmets fully enclosed nature, the helmet includes rapid wicking pads built into the mesh shell on the brow, sides of the head and lower rear neck.
There are also rough “scratch pads” which the user can rub against by physically pushing the helmet towards his face, to compensate for the inability to access the face. The Helmet also contains integrated headphones and surface microphones, which enable inter squad communication over short range comms, and in squad leaders case, inter platoon, the outside microphones take in outside noises and renders them at their real volume if within the safe range of hearing, reducing dangerous levels of noise to safe levels, at the same time amplifying distant quiet noises of certain profiles, like footsteps, twigs snapping, and amplifies it, increasing situational awareness, a function which can be toggled on or off. These outside noises are rendered with Ambisonic, WFS, HRTF and CTCT technology to render sound in true representation 3D (elevation, and XYS location angles) so the user can better pinpoint where noises are coming from. The helmet has an attached slot for two B units, Standardized Zinc Air Battery which plug into a waterproofed slot at the back of the helmet. With a third slot for a reserve battery. These units power the helmets integrated coms and NBC/AC/AH systems as well as the SGS TSNMG-4(21)-240 or any other attached NV system.
The Mandible portion of helmet attach to the side plates, to lock it in place, first the left mandible is inserted into a cut out slot on the bottom of the side plates, and locked into place via three slide locks, then the right mandible is inserted the two mandibles and the helmet form a airtight seal with each other. The reason the left section has to be inserted before the right is because the integrated NBC system is contained in the “nose” of the right mandible which covers over and forms a hermetic seal with the air cooling/heating element that is on the left mandible. Air is taken from the four holes visible on the helmet mandibles, run through several filters and the the NBC system before being fed through the NBC system then the AC/AH system to either heat or cool the helmet to an ambient temperature of 21.1C, this filtered air is also run past the quick wick sweat pads before being exhausted out the rear of the helmet by the lower neck. The right mandible also contains a bite piece a camel pack like water bladder build into the back pack, the soldier can slide this piece out using a toggle switch on the bottom of the helmet, so they can hydrate without removing the helmet during combat operations. for The helmet always seeks to keep a slightly over pressure to keep chemical threats out. The mandibles are designed to deflect shockwaves away from the users head and neck. The mandibles and helmet are then connected to the military fatigue neck ring. This helmet mandible arrangement is connected to the neck section of the Oxspann WMS, neck crescent, which allows a full range of motion of the helmet on the x y and z axis to keep the weight of the helmet off of the users neck, reducing strain and fatigue, as well as preventing neck trauma from whiplash.
The third section of the helmet is the visor, which locks into the helmet before the mandibles are attached and is made of two layers of 15mm thick C3E Ultra clarified polyurethane, with .5mm void space between them and a 1mm thick visor behind the outer layer of C3E, comprised of ECDG electronic controlled dynamic tint glass which responds to solar glare automatically as well as counters systems like flash Grenades by preventing eye damage. in testing this arrangement has proved to be impervious to shrapnel and to stop rounds up to 7.62 nato at 300m and 5.56 nato at 120m
The whole arrangement is effectively impervious to shrapnel and can stop 7.62 nato rounds out to 50m
Krigskämpe Body Armor
Designed as a replacement to the current infantry plate carriers, the Krigskämpe Body Armor, or KKBA, utilizes many of the same techniques as the HT Stridshjälm Helmet, to provide as much protection to the Nordic warfighter as possible while still giving the soldier a high range of mobility. The armor consists of several components. The Vest itself, modular add ons and the uniform itself.
The construction of the KKBA Infantry ballistic vest is a break from form for infantry vests which have since the Vietnam war either been a light vest composed of layers of Kevlar or other ballistic weave or so called plate carriers, where the vest has modular inserts for ceramic plates. The KKBA IBV on the other hand is made up of a holding frame of Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30, that loops over the shoulders and around the sides of the torso. Into this holder a insert comprised of 4cm of layers of Diamene/sorbthanebacked by 1cm of Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 plating. This plate covers the entire frontal and rear arc, and is held off of the body by a smart carbon tube mesh, designed to stop spalling and to cushion ballistic shock. This whole vest arrangement is mounted on a floating mount on the Oxspann weight management system, transferring the load weight off of the users. This vest arrangement provides ballistic protection greater than contemporary vests, able to stop a 7.62x39 round out to 20m and 5.56 nato out to 10m, while remaining durable, unlike its ceramic counterparts. The flanks of the vest are covered by a Diamene/Kevlar weave with a sorbothane backing, 1.5cm thick with 25mm Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 plates in vital regions, enough to catch most shrapnel and protect vital organs
Onto this vest a number of add on modules can be added, including pouches, canteens, ect as well as the following protection modules: Groin protection. A self contained plate made of the same composition as the vests main plate, divided into five segments to allow unimpeded mobility when wearing. Neck Shield: a 3 cm thick angled Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 plate designed to “catch” shrapnel from impacting the neck as well as stop most intermediary rifle rounds. The protector juts out as to not interfere with head motion.
The uniform itself is composed of composite smart mesh. This mesh is made in the following manner, an outer ballistic dynaweave, a layer of SEBS Gel, a composite silver fabric lining and an inner layer of smart carbon mesh. This uniform is designed to catch most shrapnel and cushion kinetic impacts, via the Diamene/Kevlar Durable Water Resistant Fabric, SEBS Gel and smart carbon mesh to provide a one way permeable arangment which wicks sweat and body moisture out but doesn’t allow rain in. The composite silver fabric lining is designed to mask any scent produced by the human body and provide NBC protection by being non permeable. The uniform forms an airtight seal with the HT Stridshjälm helmet and the Oxspann WMS boots. The suit's ventilation is provided by the HT Stridshjälms AC/AH unit which circulates filtered air throughout the suit attempting to keep the user at comfortable 21.1c. The uniform is light and comfortable, and has ample mounting points for pouches and gear
The Oxspann Weight Management System or OWMS
The Oxspann Weight Management or O WMS is a stopgap measure till the completion of the AWP, to reduce the stress from weight on a soldier as combat loads increase. The OWMS is a so called dumb exoskeleton, a unpowered rig that uses physics to distribute wieght to enable the carrying of heavy loads for longer periods of time. The OWMS, consists of a rig that goes on top of the Krigskämpe uniform but under the KKBA. The rig consists of thin Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 “ribs” which float off the spine of the soldier, circle around the waist and run down the legs and into the soles of the boots. The rig is responsible for distributing the weight of the soldiers rig across the body dynamically using a series of dumb muscles and a suspended load system, reduces 86% of the impact felt while walking or running, by transferring the weight of the load into the soles of the boot while standing, or as the soldier moves, onto the hips and whatever leg is planted on the ground. In trials the system has reduced soldier fatuide over long marches by up to 45% even with the increased load of the HT Strishjälm and Krigskämpe kit. The Oxspann WMS also has a neck crescent, which allows a full range of motion of the helmet on the x y and z axis to keep the weight of the helmet off of the users neck, reducing strain and fatigue, as well as preventing neck trauma from whiplash. The Oxspann WMS also contains a floating backpack mount which uses elastic bands and the same suspended load system to keep the weight of a field pack off of the soldiers spine.

SGS TSNMG-4(28)-190 Very Wide Field of View Thermal Augmented 4th gen NVGs
The SGS TSNMG-4(28)-190 is a fifth generation combat panoramic featuring fifth generation image intensifiers with built in advanced AI denoising and artificial depth of field algorithms in order to achieve a greater image clarity then any other night vision system, however, in addition to that, the SGS Night vision system which uses an array of four 28mm WP-AA3S, white phosphor image intensifiers arranged in two clustered pairs of two one forward facing and one facing outward, sharing a common “lens” to create a full 190x220 446 4p/mm, Minimum resolution image, integrates a 2x QQRT-4 wide aperture thermal imaging system which highlights thermal signatures over a certain threshold or over a certain magnitude of size in orange hues to aid in quick spotting. The NVGs also double as daytime operation optics, using advanced algorithms to interpret the light sent by the WP-AA3S in true color, using two micro optics in the helmet brow to aid interpretation of the incoming light. This system can also light up darkened areas during the daytime like say a window of a building. This system still displays the thermal overlay, allowing for superior daytime combat target recognition as well as nighttime recognition. The system also features light adjustment technology in order to dim overly bright lights The whole array is shock hardened and ruggedized as will as waterproof, with a two 6mm 5mm C3E Ultra clarified polyurethane cladding with .5mm separation between layers to prevent shock load transfer, these panes are designed in quick swap screw on and lock system to allow for quick, easy replacement of a damaged lense in field.

This means that the array is not only significantly lighter than its contemporary but is also extremely rugged.
“Visor” system:
Separated from the SGS TSNMG-4(28)-190 by a 1mm void followed by 1mm of SHENA backed with Diamene and Sorbothane vision encompassing ultra high resolution screen that goes over the eyes like a VR set, which feeds the optical information from the suits sensors to the operator as if he had no helmet at all, in testing operators tend to forget they are in a enclose suit after around 15 minutes. This Display allows for a hyper enabled operator, with the Squad leader having access to a opaque tactical map, displaying other units, position of squad members, ect, controlled through project a NMP interface jack, interpreting focus on the map in order to move to a different section or zoom in or out, this display is controlled overall by the neural lance, with thoughts from the operator such as “turn on night vision” switching to night optics , or Display ammo, bringing up a small counter in the bottom corner, these counters will stay up until focus is removed or eyes move, with ability to interface with multiple sensors throughout the battlespace, providing enhanced interoperability and data sharing.
The helmet also displays the aimpoint of the weapon via palmlink, it also displays where to aim to hit a target with lead, wind and droop taken into account, the aim point is drawn as a crosshair and, in the case of the Dainslef a additional radius will be drawn around this superimposed crosshair indicating the ability of the round to compensate and readjust, if the users crosshair is out of this zone it will be drawn red, if it is out of this radius but within air bust radius it will be yellow, if inside the radius, green.
Composition
The basic composition remains the same: The helmet is constructed of a 5mm thick doped Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 alloy shell, which provides a 50% increase in protection compared to the standard UHMW Polyethylene shell and is in the same weight range despite being significantly larger, under the shell is a layer of Diamene a material comprised of two atomic thick layers of graphene and under that a layer of sorbothane a synthetic viscoelastic urethane polymer used as a shock absorber and vibration damper. The helmet itself is floating, meaning an adjustable mesh shell is molded on the wearers head, keeping the helmets rear and side wall(with exception of built in headphones) roughly 1mm off the users head, this mesh is designed to compress in order to absorb ballistic trauma without transferring it form the helmet to the wears skull. Due to the helmets fully enclosed nature, the helmet includes rapid wicking pads built into the mesh shell on the brow, sides of the head and lower rear neck.

The Helmet also contains integrated headphones and surface microphones, which enable inter squad communication over short range comms, and in squad leaders case, inter platoon, the outside microphones take in outside noises and renders them at their real volume if within the safe range of hearing, reducing dangerous levels of noise to safe levels, at the same time amplifying distant quiet noises of certain profiles, like footsteps, twigs snapping, and amplifies it, increasing situational awareness, a function which can be toggled on or off. These outside noises are rendered with Ambisonic, WFS, HRTF and CTCT technology to render sound in true representation 3D (elevation, and XYS location angles) so the user can better pinpoint where noises are coming from.
Armor:
The Armor of the helmet is divided into several sections
Upper dome
Brim
Side brim
Side wall
The helmet is constructed of a 1mm thick doped Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 alloy shell, which provides a 50% increase in protection compared to the standard UHMW Polyethylene shell and is in the same weight range despite being significantly larger, under the shell is a 4 layer thick lac inner shell and under that a layer triple layer of uruweave. The helmet itself is floating, meaning an adjustable mesh shell is molded on the wearers head, keeping the helmets rear and side wall(with exception of built in headphones) roughly 1mm off the users head, this mesh is designed to compress in order to absorb ballistic trauma without transferring it form the helmet to the wears skull.
Design:
The Helt Slutna Stridshjälm Neo like its older sibling the Helt Slutna Stridshjälm, is a fully enclosed infantry combat helmet, however there are numerous advances and changes. The first change is the size of the helmet, whereas gen one HSS was roughly analogous to the human head, similar to most modern combat helmets, the HSS N is almost a third larger, designed to survive direct impacts from weapons up to 20mm. The helmet is designed around a three piece arrangement similar to the HSS, The central optical system and visor section, the left mandible and the right mandible. Each section is on a electrically actuated brushless motor
The Mandible portion of the helmet is attached to side plates, first the left mandible rotates inwards, then the right mandible is closes in, locking together. the two mandibles and the helmet form an airtight seal with each other. The reason the left section has to close before the right is because the integrated NBC system is contained in the “nose” of the right mandible which covers over and forms a hermetic seal with the air cooling/heating element that is on the left mandible. Air is taken from the intakes at the bottom of the helmet on each of the mandibles run through several filters and the the NBC system before being fed through the NBC system then the AC/AH system to either heat or cool the helmet to an ambient temperature of 21.1C, this filtered air is also run past the quick wick sweat pads before being exhausted out the rear of the helmet by the lower neck. The right mandible also contains a bite piece and a camel pack like water bladder built into the backpack, the soldier can slide this piece out using a toggle switch on the bottom of the helmet, so they can hydrate without removing the helmet during combat operations. The helmet always seeks to keep a slightly over pressure to keep chemical threats out. The mandibles are designed to deflect shockwaves away from the users head and neck. The mandibles and helmet are then connected to the suits “Neck” forming an airtight hermetic seal. Allowing a full range of motion of the helmet on the x y and z axis to keep the weight of the helmet off of the users neck, reducing strain and fatigue, as well as preventing neck trauma from whiplash.
The third section of the helmet is the visor, which rotates down off the brim and moves inwards completing the hermetic seal of the helmet. The visor is the SGS TSNMG-4(28)-190, viewfinder assembly core,
The whole arrangement can come open, by the user flicking a safety toggle on the neck guard which causes it to actuate forward, then he flicks a switch on the bottom right mandible, this activates the actuators, a half slide opens the visor section, in case of optical failure, while a full slide opens the helmet fully. Next to the visor open switch is the emergency release toggle, which activates the chest grab Handle, allowing it to be pulled out, once this occurs plastic explosive bolts activate a starter capacitor blow off the armored panels and sever the interior “cage” allowing a injured user to be quickly removed
The helmet is designed with flat angling back sides curving out near the bottom air intake/cleaners, with a flat “Brim” for unobstructed upwards visibility,the helmet angles out and back from this point as it approaches the sides. There is not a “side brim” but rather a generally curving side panel that covers slightly below the jawline. The brim of the helmet has a blast plate designed to take hard impacts from hits to the head and overpressure blastwaves, this plate also provides significant ballistics protection as in testing of shot distribution to the head the “forehead” of the helmet took the most hits.
Due to the helmets fully enclosed nature, the helmet includes rapid wicking pads built into the mesh shell on the brow, sides of the head and lower rear neck.
There are also rough “scratch pads” which the user can rub against by physically pushing the helmet towards his face, to compensate for the inability to access the face. The Helmet also contains integrated headphones and surface microphones, which enable inter squad communication over short range comms, and in squad leaders case, inter platoon, the outside microphones take in outside noises and renders them at their real volume if within the safe range of hearing, reducing dangerous levels of noise to safe levels, at the same time amplifying distant quiet noises of certain profiles, like footsteps, twigs snapping, and amplifies it, increasing situational awareness, a function which can be toggled on or off. These outside noises are rendered with Ambisonic, WFS, HRTF and CTCT technology to render sound in true representation 3D (elevation, and XYS location angles) so the user can better pinpoint where noises are coming from.
ITAR-1TA1
OXSPANN-2 AWMS:
How it works: The OXSPANN-2 AWMS Augmented Weight Managment System goes a step beyond the OXSPANN-1 + WMS, the first generation powered exoskeleton currently in use by the swedish armed forces, unlike the OXSPANN 1 which was a reactive system, responding to the movments of the human body, and applying power based on servo power charts, the OXSPANN-2 is a responsive system, acting to brain impulses from the user, moving in perfect time with the human within, augmenting power by mental concentration or strain to prevent unintentional damage, sending tactile and information feedback into the users brain, giving the wearer an uncanny sixth sense where a target will pop up behind the users line of site and get caught by the UHRRS-LTSU unit mounted on suit rear, the user turning with uncanny speed and accuracy to face a target that just exposed itself. It takes usually two months of training before the user learns to move with the suit rather than against it, thinking of it as a new body rather than an article of clothing.
Musculature:
SSOM Musculature: Semi Synthetic Organic Musculature, would be a 3D printed Semi Organic Muscle, made of silicone rubber matrix pocked with micro-bubbles of ethanol, giving the material low density and high elasticity. It can be 3D printed into whatever shape is needed, then electrically actuated by embedded conductive materials instead. Altogether, it can be made easily, cheaply and safely. In tests, the artificial muscle was able to expand by up to 900 percent when it was heated to 80º C by running 8 volts through the wire. That gives it a strain density 15 times better than natural muscle, allowing it to lift 1,000 times its own weight. These muscle fibers would be sheathed in a SHENA Based Shape-Memory alloy. Giving additional strength to weight and durability to the fibers hence SSMO.
Deadlift: 4715kg
Standing jump: 3.87m standing vertical jump
Grip strength: 315n
Running speed:
35kph 9m/s sustained jog
53kph/14.7m/s sustained sprint
The ITAR-1TA1s augmentations allow the user to run in a very unusual but extremely swift manner, it is more akin to making a vertical long jump with every step, the Achilles’ tendon of the suit legs are designed after that of a kangaroo, and is roughly 1.5cm in diameter, this allows for an enormously explosive storing of energy coupled with the rest of the legs musculature, launching the entire suit forward at tremendous speed in a very shallow forward leap covering 4.5m in a run or 7m in a sprint in a single foot fall, landing on the other leg and repeating the motion

Uruweave
Three layer Everaweave: a fabric made of a diamene spider-silk weave, this weave would be lighter than cotton, yet stronger than tungsten by weight, a so-called silken ceramic. In use case Everaweave and the layered blend of synthetic viscoelastic urethane polymer with an ability to dramatically diminish shock waves and maintain its shape under stress, this padding would soften any impact, significantly in addition to the energy and Styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene, also known as SEBS, is an important thermoplastic elastomer which behaves like rubber without undergoing vulcanization. SEBS is strong and flexible, has excellent heat and UV resistance and is easy to process, to provide a cushioning and back layer to the Everaweave reducing the impact felt by the wearer by almost 75% turning an impact that could knock the air out of a man into a minor bruise. Beneath this layer a smart semi permeable minority electrically charged organic membrane using electro-osmosis and micro pores small enough to wick sweat but not allow in larger water droplets is placed, wicking body sweat off the wearer but not allow rain in making a one way permeable material. This whole arrangement would be named Uruweave, in honor of the material Mjolnir is fabled to be made of
Frame:
The suit is made of three layers of material
The body glove:
A two Uruweave layer thick “skin” on the inside of the frame stretched taught to catch shrapnel and rounds that make it through the outer skin. This layer alone can catch a 12.7x99 at 1.5km or a 7.62 fired at 25m, this layer is also responsible for maintaining the NBC protection and maintain the suits overpressured internal gradient against NBC threats
The Skeleton:
A series of SHENA clad LAC/Carbyne Ribbs, Bones and Links, connected by brushless electric actuators, SSOM Musculature systems and sealed by a layer of Evraweave usually under the musculature, this skeleton is the point that armor is anchored to.
The Armor
The main protective layer of the suit, usually comprised of layers of SHENA, Carbyne, Uruweave and small voids, lightweight and incredibly resilient as well as protective against impact shocks that would normally kill a man.

Tactile feedback
smart prosthetic skin that’s stretchy and warm like real skin, and is jammed with tiny sensors that can pick up a variety of environmental cues such as heat, pressure and moisture and transfers it to the users brain, this is employed in grips of the gauntlet, allowing the user to more carefully interact with their environment, preventing crushing objects accidentally with the massively powerful grip strength of the gauntlets, in testing a surgeon with a prototype of the arm, was able to perform a simulated surgery, in fact the neural interface allowed significantly more precise movement with zero shaking of the hand or imprecise movements
Kycklinghuvud stabilization system
Using a series of ANOG sensors over the helmet, the suit attempts to maintain a stabilized view from the helmet relative to the body, ground, and gun in that order, within parameters using three axis stabilization from musculature of the neck, so even at a full sprint, the user can keep a clear image of his surroundings despite their bounding motion, the UHRRS-LTSU is also stabilized on a rolling mount as well as the arms, which is stabilized against suit movement like a tank cannon barrel, allowing for uncanny fire on the move accuracy even at high speed
Two Way Brain Interface see Neural Net Phase:
Whereas phase one NMPs used over the ear non invasive sensors or brain chips, NMP phase two will use a more refined albeit more invasive method to allow for total two way information send/recieve, for troops who opt into the program, NIP two nets will be inserted via a plug to the back of the head, which will then spread out to cover the brain in a fairly non invasive surgery, to allow it to receive information and to stimulate the brain in a larger scope, and when removed, be easily retracted into the plug housing, unlike a physical chip, NMP phase two nets will simply be a cabling system with the chip in the housing, removing any chance of damage to the brain from a degraded chip.
CAAPS:
Altered Time Perception, or ATP, is the application of the NMP/Neural Lance, the technology that allows the ITAR suits enhanced movement speed, can also be used to alter the perception of time relative to the user by using the suits computers to enhance the speed of thought of the user, allowing him or her to process information much, much faster than normal, thus in times of stress altering the users perceived perception of time slowing down by up to 25% or in some extreme cases, 75%, by also quickening the sending as well as receiving of the information, the users reaction time and movement during those reactions can also be enhanced, allowing the Nordic Warfighter to not only have more time to respond to sudden threats but also react much quicker, a critical edge over every other nation. This response is activated based on brain activity or spikes in concentration caused by surprise and will speed up as the threat is dealt with in order to not overly stress the brain. This application will also be studied in the aspect of fighter pilots.

The system, which attaches to the Picatinny rail that’s a standard feature of most military rifles, can best be described as a ‘mechanical isolator’ for a soldier’s support hand, A user selects a target or a direction, and then the system holds the weapon in the proper orientation. This effort seeks to merely correct for the shaking of the weapon that is not controllable by the user.
