RCC Baron EW/AWAC/C&C

Postby Neu Engollon » Tue Jun 15, 2021 5:34 pm

Image





The RCC Project was commissioned by the NEDF (Neu Engollon Defense Forces). It was undertaken in order to replace the aging Boeing RC-135 (Rivet Joint) they had relied on. Rather than having to beg and cajole for parts from their unreliable North American military supplier, the NEDF wanted a reliable domestic aircraft from the renowned Neu Engollian defense supplier. The Neu Engollon Government decided to turn to Schwyz Defense Systems, in conjunction with other companies closer to home, to deliver a quality aircraft that could be the linchpin to a strong air defense.

The RCC Aircraft is a Reconnaissance, Command and Control aircraft that can act as an air mobile command center and electronic warfare platform. The planes can perform AWACs, electronic intelligence on-scene collection, analysis and dissemination duties, as well as electronic warfare/jamming on several frequency and bandwidth spectra. With the ability to monitor countless thousands of units, both in the air, at sea, and on the ground, of both friendly and enemy origin, the aircraft is a command post that is able to control a situation with the rapidity and flexibility that is needed in modern warfare.
The RCC series houses electronic equipment and sensor suites manufactured, encrypted and configured by Schwyz Defense Systems, but utilizes the airframe, engines and avionics of Genesis Aerosystems' GA9 Moirai or the GA72 Mystic II. This unique partnership between these two companies ensures the high quality, endurance and power of the specialized aircraft and the multiple functions it must perform.

The Sensor Suites enable the crew of the RCC to single out, target and lock on to signals occurring across the electromagnetic, broadband, and hi and low frequency radio spectra. From there, the mission crew can pass along this information through a full range of options to all battlefield and rear commanders needing to be kept in the loop. Strike aircraft can be vectored on to the sources from the RCC, all while data is constantly fed via satellite transmission to homeland bases. Many of these functions are performed by the 1200 FETR Sorvach suite, in conjunction with other on board systems. The main sensor spectra used by the 1200 FETR Sorvach are IR, ultrasonic, microwave and tomographic motion.

The Electronic Warfare Suites give the crew a fierce weapon that can be wielded to jam up, hinder and scramble enemy communications and electronic operations to complete breakdown. In conjunction with ground ELINT warfare elements, UAVs and naval operations across a wide front, this can give the operators of the RCC the ability to disrupt the enemy chain of command without their side actually firing an armament or missile. Spot, sweep, barrage, pulse, base and DRFM jamming are all possible with the vast array of systems on the Baron. The General is capable of performing sweep, pulse and DRFM jamming only, lacking the power of the Baron to effectively execute spot, barrage and base jamming. Unknown hostile transmissions, bandwiths and radar signals are recorded for later countermeasure adaptation. Much of this is accomplished by the 1690 ELWD Elektguer Suite, a very complex system that works well with the other Schwyz systems on board in order to counter, target and disrupt hostile electronic and cyber emissions. Depending on the proximity of targeted systems, the suites on board the RCC aircraft have the ability to craft viral coding on the spot, sent through various spectra and bandwidths, that can defeat most countermeasures and send false or junk data to the systems in order to overload them. Systems that are nearer in proximity to the RCC aircraft can possibly be rendered completely and permanently inoperable, wherein operators would be unable to complete a successful reboot process to get the systems operable again. Systems that are farther in proximity, to a range of several hundred kilometers, are still very likely to suffer some temporary, if not permanently damaging, disruptions. Contrary to popular belief, this is not done through a blind blanket EMP burst, but targeted, varied, faster than light cyber attacks.

Communication and Control Suites enable the RCC aircraft to receive and relay encrypted signals and burst transmissions at a rapid pace. Satellite access considerably speeds up this process for beyond horizon communication. Command from the sky is easy as the computer systems are able to keep detailed track of most all of the thousands of units in a theater or battlefield environment with the vast spectrum of sensor arrays on board. Networking with the bulk of friendly and allied units on the ground, at sea and in the air offers the ability to quickly vector units to hot spots utilizing constantly fed data and intelligence collection.
This coordination is performed with the 1200 FETR Sorvach, RLWR 490 Pulswon Radar, OBZT 450 FeumKon Target Tracking System and KOMVR 390 Komverkrit (Encrypted Communications) System, which is able to integrate all the on board systems, as well as external links to allied and friendly units and systems.

The final key is a well trained and authoritative crew. Schwyz Defense Systems is more than willing to send training crews and conduct classes for a moderate additional fee to bring your RCC crews up to speed. These teams usually consist of a mixed group of company technicians, NEDAF advisers and a Genesis Aerosystems engineer or two.

Protection of the RCC is provided by armoring that, while not able to deflect a direct missile hit, can withstand close proximity explosions to a high degree. There is a full complement of chaff and flare defense with the MTPC 215 Metal Power Chaff System and the STPF 275 Star Power Flare System. Also, the LKRH 410 Leurkodrich is a decoy launching mechanism with two missile attracting decoys pre-loaded available. More decoys for the LKRH 410 are available upon request, for an additional fee.
Shielding from EMP effects is five times what is normally afforded to commercial aircraft, enabling it to weather a close proximity, high kiloton nuclear blast or even a short duration, focused beam of EMP pulsed energy.

RAM, or Radar Absorbent Material, is used on much of the body. While the RCC planes are too slow moving and large to accomplish being stealth, they do not put out a proper radar signature that accurately reflects their identity. Their signature in fact, bounces back an aircraft approximately 1/4 of the actual mass present, confusing ground and airborne operators as to the true nature and identity of the aircraft.

As well as being able to generate confusing and even system-frying electronic jamming waves upon opponents, the RCC has adequate encryption and shielding to ward off most equally hostile attempts to shut down its sensitive electronics apparatus and avionics. Main countermeasures utilized are frequency randomization and alternation, burst transmission and cloaking. The quantum radar suite, the 1200 FETR Sorvach, is also able to instantly detect most jammer sources, and in coordination with the 1690 ELWD, to counter it and in cases of close proximity, shut it down and destroy the electronic memory and diagnostics, rendering it permanently inoperable.

Despite all these defense measures, with the high cost and strategic importance of the aircraft, it is recommended that a fighter escort is always detailed to the RCC while it is aloft. The RCC, due to its command functions and ELINT warfare capability, is liable to become a key target for your opponents.

The RCC BARON uses the GA9 Moirai frame made by Genesis Aerosystems.
It can be aloft for several days at a time with inflight refueling, and the accommodations of the crew bring this to reality. A small galley, restrooms, food storage and stacked bunks in sleeping quarters for half the crew, ensure a full, fresh rotation of active crew while the other shifts take much needed rest. The command center, consoles, quarters and living space are all on the upper deck of the aircraft, while the bottom deck is taken up by the apparatus, servers and housing needed for all the equipment. What is traditionally known as the cargo area carries additional fuel tanks.

Crew: 5 Aviation crew, 26 RCC crew
Range of jamming/el. warfare suites: 25,000 sq km
Range of sensors/detection: 55,000 sq km
* For other avionic specifications, please see the Genesis site:
GA9 RCC Baron Avionics


Cost: NSD $ 720,000,000
Cost of LKRH 410 Leurkodrich Decoy Launching Package (w/ 2 decoys): NSD $ 6,000,000
Cost of 2 Extra decoys: NSD $ 3,500,000


Successful Trials and Applications
The RCC aircraft were put through rigorous trials and maneuvers with the NEDAF, for all its possible functions. Both models performed well beyond expectations for their AWACs, reconnaissance and command and control capabilities. When it came to the RCC electronic warfare capabilities, tests were done on aging NEDM (Neu Engollon Defense Militia) equipment that were reprogrammed to give hostile emissions. The aircraft aggressively targeted these sites and vehicles at varied distances with an overall average success rate of 87%. The NEDM equipment was rendered so inoperable that they were then scrapped for metal, wires and spare parts to serve out their last utility.

Actual battlefield success rate has also measured up to the mock trials, as many clients have used the aircraft with almost universal positive attainment of goals. Notably, the Macedonian Grand Empire, Terre Des Gaules, Hutanjia, Aquitayne and the peacekeeping forces of Neu Engollon have been able to use the RCC aircraft with great effect during campaigns against equally technologically adept hostile forces. Loss of RCC aircraft has been reported in battle, not due to malfunction or enemy countermeasures, but in every instance due to conventional attack and lack of adequate protection assigned to the expensive, delicate aircraft or not flying within discretionary distances to avoid enemy ground or air defenses.

Regarding RCC Planes: Small orders only please - Ridiculous quantity requests will be rejected. The aircraft cost close to a billion NSD or more and manufacturing time is not quick. (Genesis Aerosystems out of Aurora Confederacy, make the GA72 and GA9 airframes and gives RL projected completion times.) So, please be realistic. Keep in mind that very few nations could afford and have the military infrastructure to operate more than a handful of RCC aircraft.


Training and Technical Support is available from Schwyz Defense Systems. We can train competent pilots, technical and maintenance crews on a tight program within a matter of weeks on how to operate and maintain the aircraft as well as how to set the equipment to gather the maximum amount of data and how to digest that information once retrieved.

Any unauthorized accessing or tampering with Schwyz DS electronic systems (possibly for reverse engineering) will trigger an anti-tampering device in all Schwyz systems. Besides cooking the circuits, it may cause small fires and possible injury or death to individual(s) tampering with the wiring, optics or electronics. Also, there is a possibility of releasing toxic fumes from melted wire casings and components in such an event.

REPAIR, MAINTENANCE and PARTS REPLACEMENT: Technicians can be sent out for any maintenance or re-configuring of systems necessary. In certain special instances, maintenance input codes can be given out in lieu of on-site technician teams being dispatched.

RCC General EW/AWACS/C&C

Postby Neu Engollon » Tue Jun 15, 2021 5:37 pm

Image


The RCC GENERAL is the smaller cousin to the RCC Baron with only one deck to house both crew and several of the sensor and electronic systems. With limited capacity for both equipment and crew, the General doesn't have quite the range of the Baron, but still packs quite a punch and is more than capable of commanding a flexible air defense. Living quarters can accommodate about a third of the crew. With inflight refueling, it is possible to keep the General aloft for 2-3 days at a stretch, but it is not recommended to extend that operating cycle. The General uses the GA72 Mystic II air frame manufactured by Genesis Aerosystems. The price, in comparison to the Baron, makes the General a more affordable choice for smaller and less industrialized nations to be able to have air command center capability in the realm of current day ELINT warfare and defense.

Crew: 3 Aviation crew, 16 RCC crew
Range of jamming/el. warfare suites: 12,000 sq km
Range of sensors/detection: 35,000 sq km
* For other avionic specifications, please see the Genesis site:

Cost: NSD $ 440,000,000
Cost of LKRH 410 Leurkodrich Decoy Launching Package (w/ 2 decoys): NSD $ 6,000,000
Cost of 2 Extra decoys: NSD $ 3,500,000 (Cannot be stowed on aircraft due to capacity constraints.)

LIRCAS Recon & Ground Support Turboprop

Postby Neu Engollon » Tue Jun 15, 2021 5:40 pm

Image
Image


The LIRCAS (Light Recon/Close Air Support Aircraft)
is, as the moniker suggests, a forward air control, recon and observation aircraft, or a close air support light fighter, depending on the mission. LIRCAS is equipped with light sensor and passive electronic wavelength monitoring equipment, as well as high resolution cameras that work over several spectrum, including infrared, thermal imaging and can operate day or night. Data is transmitted almost instantly in constant digital encrypted bursts to command and/or control centers far removed from hazard. It flies faster and higher than helicopters in use for similar missions and it is more fuel efficient and easier to maintain than jet aircraft.

Primary Mission
The LIRCAS provides beyond-line-of-sight situational surveillance reports that are invaluable to military operations of both an offensive or defensive nature. With the compact, passive surveillance suites aboard and precision data imaging cameras, it can pass along crucial data for battlefield commanders to integrate with other information which they can base strategic decisions upon.

Secondary Missions
The LIRCAS is a versatile, multi-role aircraft that can also serve as a communication relay and support craft for ground missions of special operations forces. Time has proven the value of having such a plane for aiding in a variety of missions that might confront a nation's special operations forces.
As well, The LIRCAS is very successful in the initiation of interdiction operations against narcotics trafficking or insurgents. For use in COIN and CAS operations, additional rocket pods and HMG pods can be ordered to replace the electronic sensor pods, or to be used interchangeably, with variable set-ups. The cameras are built into the body belly and not in removable pods.

Optical Equipment
The first specialized system is the 720 TOPT Sorvach (Surveillance) Suite; which consists of three broad-spectrum, gyro-stabilized optical devices (cameras), pioneered and refined by Schwyz Defense Systems to operate in a multitude of environments, both night and day, and records several levels of light emissions including visual and thermal. They are calibrated to a high digital resolution, with a constant automatic recalibration during transition of environment and light, or when a sudden event is detected that may jar the equipment. The cameras are hardened and also provided with filters that can protect from blinding defensive lasers emitted from target areas. They have overlapping fields in order to provide a full panoramic picture.

Electronic Sensor Suites
The other important system is the the 880 FETR Sorvach (FLIR/EMP/Thermal/Sig/Radar Surveillance) Suite pod. This is probably the singular most crucial, technical and expensive piece of equipment on the LIRCAS. The vast spectrum that this suite can operate on ensures that it can detect most every type of object, emission and motion possible. Many surveillance satellites are lacking in what this package provides. Due to the sensitive, highly classified nature, more operative detail cannot be elaborated upon.
Suffice to say, the 880 FETR systems can target and lock on to signals and emissions occurring across broad electromagnetic and bandwidth spectrums. Along with constant visual data imaging input from the 720 TOPT, this data is recorded and either automatically disseminated through micro-burst transmissions, or saved for later download when jamming measures, or other interference inhibits transmission. A forced data dump is possible. As well, a self destruct mechanism is built in to deny the 880 FETR fall intact into potentially hostile hands should the worst occur.

Why choose a manned reconnaissance aircraft over the popular UAV option?
There are several reasons why a military (national or private) might choose to still outfit their forces with the more traditional human piloted observational/recon aircraft versus unmanned aerial vehicles:

* Quicker reaction times and more flexible mission parameters are possible with a trained, versatile pilot.

* UAV's systems susceptible to hostile jamming/electronic warfare environment. The aircraft's simplified mechanical avionics are not slaved to the electronics systems and cannot be shut down remotely from hostile cyber or electronic attack.

* In such a jamming environment, data can be recorded and retrieved later at a forward command center, if not able to be instantly transmitted (ie signals blocked), while the pilot is performing other tasks.

* A human pilot present in the cockpit is more versatile when using the aircraft in CAS mode, as well as evasion when under attack.

* Should disaster be imminent, the pilot can do a data dump at the flick of a switch, or this can be done remotely from the forward or rear command center. Subsequently, they can initiate a self destruct of the 880 FETR pod. This control overlap doubly insures against a loss of valuable data and loss of sensitive electronics into hostile hands.

By all means, a modern air force and military would still have use for UAVs, which are most likely to be the preferred method of aerial reconnaissance, but it would also be prudent to still complement them with manned recon aircraft for the above stated reasons, in order to be prepared for any eventuality and expand mission flexibility parameters. This is why the LIRCAS is a great addition to a recon/observation arm of an air force that already utilizes UAVs, and larger reconnaissance aircraft to expand the versatility of information gathering capability for intelligence and military use. The RCC Baron and General (other Schwyz Defense Systems recon aircraft) are perfect for large scale battlefield coordination and data tracking while the LIRCAS Sergeant is a better small, focused mission aircraft, as well as a great multi-role aircraft for close air support and special operations.

Protection
of the LIRCAS aircraft is provided by MTPC 215 Metal Power Chaff System & STPF 275 Star Power Flare System. It also utilizes RAM, or Radar Absorbent Material, MASE (Modular Aircraft Survivability Equipment) and it's high maneuverability and low radar profile. It is obviously not stealth capable, but it is the military equivalent of a light civilian model aircraft and therefore will not put out the radar signature of a fast moving, aggressive, fighter aircraft that SAMs might target prioritize.

LIRAT Anti-Tank Light Flyer

Postby Neu Engollon » Tue Jun 15, 2021 5:41 pm

The LIRAT (Light Recon/Anti-Tank) Aircraft

Primary Mission

Customers have had nothing but rave reviews for performance of the LIRCAS in operations, but one area where it has been reported to fall short is in armor interdiction. LIRCAS survivability in an attack on a well AA-defended armor column, as inadvisable as that action is to begin with, is quite low. This has spurred on SDS to develop the LIRAT variant. The LIRAT is more armored to withstand groundfire and the modular mounts are modified to carry heavier loads in order to hit enemy armor fast and hard.
A light titanium alloy skin covers the wings, fuselage and tail for a durable armor that can deflect most ground fire and air to air fire.

Using the same light airframe as the LIRCAS, the LIRAT is modified to hold R-12 rocket pods, Rafutar air to surface missiles, mine dispensing munitions, or other customized modular systems on each wing and a larger caliber 30mm cannon mounted in the nose. While limited in ammo carrying capability, the LIRAT can perform quick strikes and possibly neutralize up to 4-5 tanks or armored vehicles in one pass. When in larger formations, a mass flight of LIRATs can enact a large amount of devastation on an enemy armored front, quite possibly stopping it cold in conjunction with other support forces.

Due to the amount of ordnance carried at full load and extra armoring, the LIRAT tends to operate at considerably slower average speeds than its sister LIRCAS.
This does enable it, however, to make a more focused pass, but the downside is that it opens the LIRAT up to more ground fire.

The LIRAT is still the lightest, fastest, and most economical anti-armor option a force could have in its arsenal. It is much more compact and low maintenance than most traditional multi-role and ground attack fighters, but still built to get the job done.

Secondary Mission

Once ammo is expended, the LIRAT can operate in its original design capacity as a recon aircraft. Even with the anti-armor modifications, it is still able to pack a considerable amount of electronic scanning systems and optics.

Like its sister recon plane, the LIRCAS, the LIRAT is equipped with light sensor and passive electronic wavelength monitoring equipment, as well as high resolution cameras that work over several spectrums, including infrared, thermal imaging and can operate day or night. Data is transmitted almost instantly in constant digital encrypted bursts to command and/or control centers far removed from hazard.

We can train competent pilots, technical and maintenance crews on a tight program within a matter of weeks on how to operate and maintain the aircraft as well as how to set the equipment to gather the maximum amount of data and how to digest that information once retrieved.

Any unauthorized accessing or tampering with Schwyz DS electronic systems (possibly for reverse engineering) will trigger an anti-tampering device in all Schwyz systems. Besides cooking the circuits, it may cause small fires and possible injury or death to individual(s) tampering with the wiring, optics or electronics. Also, there is a possibility of releasing toxic fumes from melted wire casings and components in such an event.

REPAIR, MAINTENANCE and PARTS REPLACEMENT: Technicians can be sent out for any maintenance or re-configuring of systems necessary. In certain special instances, maintenance input codes can be given out in lieu of on-site technician teams being sent.


* NOTE: When adding or re-configuring pods to the aircraft, weight and performance may change.
The aircraft are still designed to be highly maneuverable with most any configuration of the provided pods and equipment. Custom modifications are not recommended, but with technical advising, can be achieved.

BASD-1 Gunship Series


Overview
The BASD-1 is a helicopter gunship series using the latest generation avionics, airframe and electronic systems available. It is now available for export, under approval of the BASD board.

Development
History of the BASD Series Part One (From the Neu Engollian Point of View)

The need for new helicopters was strong in Neu Engollon, as years of peacekeeping efforts and rigorous training exercises had taken their toll on the aging fleet of rotorcraft in the NEDF. With the Euro and North American suppliers being extremely far away, and the closest replicators of the parts not much closer, the Neu Engollian military was at a crossroads. Those parts they could get were either exorbitant, or of poorer quality than the original model parts acquired during first tender. NEDI, tasked with refurbishing the parts that could be salvaged, was falling woefully short in keeping up with demand, and lost interest in paying the licensing fees to the original suppliers as the government was not reimbursing them.

Talks about tasking a domestic or regional manufacturer to produce helos started as early as 2005. Originally, the NEDF approached Dassault, and then Farman, of Terre des Gaules, but were discouraged that both were disinclined to produce a helicopter series, or to do so on agreeable financial terms with the Neu Engollian government, despite the strong ties between Gaul and the Confederacy.

The search turned inward, but NEDI, the top, and really only arms producing supplier within the Confederacy was far from ready to start producing aircraft. Enter Schwyz Logiztek, a small start up from former government engineer Martin Trembecht that was birthed in a garage in Seewen, Schwyz. Schwyz Logiztek had made leaps in a few short years.

The company was starting to produce some quality electronic systems, but was still a ways away from producing aircraft. However, entrepreneur Trembecht was as adept at networking and sales as he was at engineering. He built strong partnerships with other companies that could produce quality vehicles, vessels, and aircraft to house his systems. Schwyz Logiztek became Schwyz Defense Systems to better portray the company evolving from merely a logistical systems supplier.

It was clear by the second decade of the 21st Century that the head of SDS had the best sense in picking the best quality partners to develop their products, as evidenced by Tethys Mara, the Maltropian Naval shipwrights; QAR-ISA, The Riysian military’s arms manufacturing wing; and Genesis Aerosystems, the major aerospace manufacturer of the Aurora Confederacy. Another work group was formed to again attempt to develop a domestic series of rotorcraft, this time with NEDI, and Trembecht’s SDS having prominent seats in the group, along with top officers of the NEDF’s Command Staff.

While further away from the immediate region, Blackstone Aviation of Port Ember, was still more prevalent in the area, and closer than the original suppliers of most of the modern NEDF’s aircraft. Trembecht approached Blackstone, and the rest was history as Varrick Blackstone eagerly jumped at the chance to work with the rapidly expanding SDS.

While committed to helping the Neu Engollian military achieve its goals, Trembecht was also looking towards his own company’s future goal of producing a wide range of helicopters that would be in high demand in the civilian sector for their versatility and quality.

The closest regional suppliers, Dassault and Universal Defense of Falkasia were far from even considering commencement of production on their own military rotorcraft, and civilian helicopter producers of the region were nothing of note, to be polite.
The aircraft of Neu Engollian’s Pilatus was beset by many issues, with several fatal crashes to their record. They were not a good candidate.

The deal was finally inked in Port Ember Megalopolis after months of negotiations. BASD was born as the joint partnership of the three companies that would also give the new helicopters their name. NEDI being a minor partner, was fine with not being part of the nomenclature of the joint venture, or the products.

Blackstone Aviation would provide the airframes, and much of the avionics systems, while SDS would provide the electronics, targeting/tracking, communications, and other surveillance suites for most of the models. NEDI would provide domestic armoring and armaments for the Neu Engollian produced versions, while BA took over that duty on the Port Emberian versions. Engineering teams from SDS and BA would be semi-permanently based in each other’s production facilities to ensure coordination. An eventual rotation schedule for the personnel was planned to make sure no one got too homesick.

While BA would provide their trusty BAT21B engines for most of the series, SDS was eager to try out their new specialized 305 Flugenerga engines, a step up from the 250 Flugenerga’s used for the LIRCAS/LIRAT line of aircraft. They were able to secure a spot for it, along with the BA engines, in the BASD-3 power plant.

The BASD-1 Gunship


Design & Specifications
    There was an urgency to develop a gunship platform for the first model series. While taking influence from several successful gunship designs of the modern era, including the Port Emberian Black Eagle, Blackstone has been able to take it steps further with a revolutionary design that will be relevant for decades to come.

  • Length: 18.9 meters
  • Height: 3.8 meters
  • Weight: 5.2 tons
  • Max. Take-off Weight: 10 tons
  • Fuel Capacity: 2000 liters
  • Powerplant: 2x BAT21B engines - 2000 hp each
  • Rotors: 18m diameter; Loft is provided by 5 top rotor blades and a rear rotor with 4 blades. The airframe has stabilising tail wings
  • Crew: 1 pilot and 1 weapon systems officer, with room for an additional flight engineer, for a minimum operable crew of 2 and maximum of 3.
  • Passengers: None
  • Access: Hinged top opening cockpit

    Performance
  • Top speed: 400 km/h
  • Range: 1000 km
  • Combat radius: 800 km
  • Service ceiling: 6100 meters
  • Rate of climb: 15 m/s

Systems & Suites
    The systems can be accessed both through the instrument panel, and also using a HUD linked into the pilots’ helmets.
  • OBZT 450 (FeumKon) targeting and tracking system utilizes the multiview electro-optical system located just to the rear of the gun mount and nose
  • KOMVR 390 (Komverkrit) encrypted communications system is located on one side of frame, below the rotors. It works in conjunction with the other systems, along with sending and receiving data to central command points.
  • It is equipped with a RMWR 330 (Pulswon) radar suite which is a multi-band, multi-functional suite working in concert with the OBZT 450. The largest mast is located below the rotors on the frame, opposite side of the KOMVR 390, and the smaller, secondary mast on the same side as the comms system, with a control pod in the nose.
  • It has a LKRH 205 (Leurkodrich) countermeasure dispenser on the tail that can fire off both chaff and flares.


Armaments


Variants
  • BASD-1A - (Arctic) is developed with frigid climates in mind. Special covers and filters are fitted on the frame and over components to ensure high efficiency and maximum heated condition in an unforgiving climate like the Arctic or high altitude, Alpine environment.
  • BASD-1D - (Desert) is likewise prepared to deal with the arid conditions of the desert, with filters and cooling components to level the bird for baking hot conditions. Specifically, it uses the Filtering Intake Barrier System (FIBS) to block fine particulates at the inlets that can clog and kill engines.
  • BASD-1J - (Jungle) variant is prepared for tropical, humid weather with filters designed to block excessive moisture in the air from overtaking the intakes. Pleated filters with a flushing system in the specially designed FIBS-H can release captured water back down to the jungle floor through valves, keeping it from bathing and drowning the engines.
  • BASD-1R - (Recon) This model is, of course, made for stealthy recon, with special composite materials in use to a much higher degree than the regular One series, which only utilizes radar absorbing material on a few key parts. In comparison, the 1R is completely covered in RAM with differing patterns of honeycomb structures to defeat several bandwidths of radar. Every angle is designed to absorb and break up radar waves, and special paint deflects IR detection. The main and tail rotors, as well as being covered in durable RAM, are designed to minimize their sound signature with their spacing and shape, as well as the number of blades. This method is designed to defeat detection of loading, BVI, HSI, and broadband noise. While the tail rotor is not recessed, the shape and material of it makes up for that advantage.

    It is equipped with a full range of surveillance gear, including optical, multi-bandwidth radar, and multi-level heat and motion sensors. Perfect for the frontline of an attack to probe the defenses of an enemy, or for solo scouting missions, trading armaments for info seeking equipment. Yet, it still retains the nose gun, in order to still have ‘teeth’ for a fight.

BASD-1R Stealth Recon Variant


Systems on the BASD-1R
    The systems can be accessed both through the instrument panel, and also using a HUD linked into the pilots’ helmets.
  • OBZT 450 (FeumKon) targeting and tracking system utilizes the multiview electro-optical system located just to the rear of the gun mount and nose
  • KOMVR 390 (Komverkrit) encrypted communications system is located on one side of frame, below the rotors. It works in conjunction with the other systems, along with sending and receiving data to central command points.
  • It is equipped with a RLWR 490 (Pulswon) radar suite which is a multi-band, multi-functional suite working in concert with the OBZT 450. The largest mast is located below the rotors on the frame, opposite side of the KOMVR 390, and the smaller, secondary mast on the same side as the comms system, with a control pod in the nose.
  • The FETR 880 is a scanning system able to monitor FLIR, EMP, multi-band radar, and other ranges of electronic systems of a target. It works closely with the ELWD system, but can also be used independently, in order to surveil without alerting a target of the presence of the 1R by attacking those systems.
  • The ELWD 1510 is the Electronic Warfare suite on board the 1R. It has the capability of jamming hostile systems, as well as countering enemy jamming of friendly systems, across several bandwidths. The ELWD has programming to breach enemy systems and scramble them, at times even rendering them permanently disabled, as well as looping reboots. Effective against radar, surveillance, and command and control systems.
  • It has a LKRH 205 (Leurkodrich) countermeasure dispenser on the tail that can fire off both chaff and flares.

BASD-2 Transport/Utility Series

Postby Neu Engollon » Tue Jun 15, 2021 5:43 pm

Image


BASD-2 Utility Helicopter Series


Overview
The BASD-2 Utility/Transport/Ground Support/Naval Ops helicopter series, while most often considered as a utility and transport rotorcraft, is adaptable for several other uses, including ground and naval support, as an ASW platform or sea rescue chopper. It is more than suitable for civilian industrial usage.


Development
History of the BASD Series Part Two (From the Port Emberian Point of View)

Blackstone Aviation, the largest and most influential aerospace company within the Republic of Port Ember, immediately agreed to enter into a partnership with the Neu Engollian based ventures, despite not receiving a requirement placement from their main client, the Port Ember Security Forces (PESF), and even doubting that they would be able to market a new product line to them, as the PESF had bought a range of military rotorcraft from them only ten years prior, which included the Albatross Mk 2 Utility Helicopter and the Black Eagle Attack Helicopter.

Blackstone's motivation for entering the partnership was simple, they knew they would be able to produce world class rotorcraft which would outclass their previous models, which would attract international clientele, whilst also gaining new technology with the Patent-Sharing contract, allowing them to develop and expand into the avionics electronics market. This would also serve as a method to enter the Madurin markets, a geographical market which they were looking to penetrate for years.

Shortly after deciding to enter the partnership, the Port Ember Security Forces threw their support behind the project, and indicated their intent to replace their entire rotorcraft stock with the new BASD range, despite the recent young age of their current stock, and the vast availability of spare parts. The motivation behind this decision, according to the Port Emberian Minister of Defence was, "Whilst the PESF does possess a fleet of relatively new and technologically advanced rotorcraft, these have been used extensively in combat and operational roles, and it was discovered, through Lessons Learned Analysis, that due to the ever expanding operational requirements, our air assets requires more versatility and even more advanced systems, than our current systems has on offer. The new BASD range will fill our identified gaps, and more."

The BASD-2T Transport


Design & Specifications
    Running in at a close second to an attack gunship series of models was the need for multi-use, sturdy bodied helicopters to fulfill the utility/transport demand from both nations. A military with all teeth, but no feet, is quite useless, after all.

    From the start, the BASD-2 series was meant to be as versatile as could be from a military, and eventual civilian, perspective. While BASD produces set popular variants, the Two Series, and by extension, the Three Series, are infinitely customizable to the customer’s needs, by design.

  • Length: 15.5 meters
  • Height: 5.2 meters
  • Weight: 3.5 tons
  • Max. Take-off Weight: 12 tons, or 12.5 tons with external weight
  • Fuel Capacity: 2500 liters

  • Top speed: 300 km/h
  • Range: 2000 km
  • Combat radius: 1500 km
  • Service ceiling: 7100 meters
  • Rate of climb: 13 m/s



Image
The BASD-2N is equally adept at hunting submarines or sea rescue missions.





Systems & Suites

    The systems can be accessed both through the instrument panel, and also using a HUD linked into the pilots’ helmets, if desired.

  • KOMVR 390 (Komverkrit) encrypted communications system is located at the base.
  • It is equipped with a RMWR 330 (Pulswon) radar suite in the nose.
  • It has a LKRH 205 (Leurkodrich) countermeasure dispenser on the tail that can fire off both chaff and flares. This is an optional add on that is best for the 2G and 2N variants, but can be used on the 2T/U.
  • The 2G utilizes the OBZT 450 (FeumKon) targeting and tracking system with the multiview electro-optical system located just to the rear of the gun mount and nose.
  • The 2N utilizes the FERSON 670 dragged sonar array for ASW operations, released from a compartment in the cabin floor and networked to the other electronic systems.


Image
The BASD-2G is already seeing initial deployment into Ysterfontein, in support of PESF operations.


Armaments

  • The BASD-2G offers man operated chain guns mounted on both flanks to offer a minimum level of self defence. It has 2 wings with 3 hardpoints each and a mounted 20mm nose gun.
  • The NE version of the 2G can be armed with Rafutar ATS (Air to Surface), Razek rocket pods, and the NEMG 20mm and 50M (.50 cal) side mounts, which can also be mounted on the 2T/U.
  • The BASD-2N can be armed with the Rafakua torpedoes and Profondhel depth charges.
    All armaments produced by NEDI for the NE versions of the BASD-2 series.
  • The PE version of the BASD-2G can be armed with Claw Air to Surface Missiles, Talon Air to Air Missiles, Hydra Rocket Pods and a nose mounted HQAS-35/15-A 35mm "Reaper" Quick Firing Cannon.

    * Missiles and rocket pods are sold individually, and not included in the initial cost; while nose mounted, and side mounted guns, are included in the initial price.

Variants
  • BASD-2G - (Ground Support)
    With wings holding additional rocket pods, guns, and ASMs on hard points, this variant was made for ground support operations whether on the conventional battlefield, COIN operations, or performing narcotics interdiction.
  • BASD-2U - (Utility) Equipped with a compact winch for rescue operations or cargo pickup. This model is adaptable to all sorts of uses in both the military and civilian sectors. A suspension system mount can be included for an additional fee.
  • BASD-2T - (Transport) This is the workhorse of any branch of a military, or suitable for major industrial operations in the civilian sector. Comfortably fits 10, but can max at a dozen personnel. Can haul a good amount of cargo, as well, or a good stabilized mix of the two.
  • BASD-2N - (Naval) This model is, of course, made for naval operations, with its primary focus being on sea rescue, and also ASW operations. It can carry depth charges, torpedoes, and dragged sonar array for maximum ASW capability. A winch can pick personnel out of the drink, or drop them on a bobbing deck with equal grace.

Image


BASD-3 Series: Heavy Lifter/Transport


Overview
The BASD-3 helicopter series, like the 2 Series, is foremost designed as a utility and transport aircraft. However, with its hefty hauling capacity, it is adaptable for many large scale uses, including as a mobile headquarters or hospital, variants which are included in the BASD catalog. Like the 2 and 4 series, it is very useful, and capable of, serving in the civilian sector.


Image
The BASD-3


Design & Specifications

    During the development phases of the BASD 2 series, the need for an even larger model of rotorcraft became apparent, as both commissioning nations expressed the requirement of such a helicopter which could deliver large scale support to the ever changing and challenging modern battlefield, specifically relating to large scale logistical support, medical support, and command and control functions, into areas where it is not feasible to deploy fixed wing aircraft.

    Port Ember in particular, demanded a solution to their attempt of transforming their force into a highly mobile and adaptable airborne cavalry force, which could operate in any environment and adapt to changing situations.

    The Three Series was born as a result of these requirements, and was focused on delivering the sought after capability to its owners. The Three Series is able to fill all the above mentioned requirements and more, providing operational flexibility that could not even be imagined before the project.

  • Length: 40.5 meters
  • Height: 9.2 meters
  • Rotors: 20m diameter; Loft is provided by 6 top rotor blades and a rear rotor with 4 blades. The airframe has stabilising tail wings
  • Crew: 1 pilot; 1 co-pilot/flight engineer; 1 payload engineer; with room for an additional crewmember, for a minimum operable crew of 3 and maximum of 4.
  • Passengers: 60
  • Empty weight: 28 tons
  • Max. Take-off Weight: 60 tons or 65 tons with external load
  • Powerplant: 2 × Blackstone Aviation BAT21B turboshaft engines;
    1 x SDS Flugenerga 305 turboshaft engine
  • Access: The cabin bay has one sliding door on the right side, and a large fold down back hatch to load up or deploy personnel and small vehicles or cargo.

    Performance
  • Top Speed: 290 km/h
  • Range: 800 km
  • Service ceiling: 4600 meters
  • Rate of climb: 8 m/s


Image
The BASD-3 - ready to haul.


Variants
  • The BASD-3T is the main variant and is geared towards transport, whether it is moving whole squads into battle, small vehicles, a large amount of cargo such as ammunition and field supplies, or even the ability to transport a moderate sized IFV or other wheeled battle support vehicle into the fray. In addition to filling the cargo bay, a suspension system mount with an underslung cargo net can transport a large item or vehicle, and there is a cargo winch/hook in the bay.
  • The BASD-3H is a mobile hospital, able to both transport and treat casualties, as well as land and become an immediate forward field hospital during conflict or response to national disaster. There are 10 Medical Bays installed, and it has space for 50 stretchers, with mounted medical supply lockers near the cabin, and a sterilization station near the rear. Some of the forward bay compartments are equipped with refrigeration units to act as cold storage for medicines and plasma.
  • The BASD-3Q is a mobile headquarters, with a full range of electronic suites and systems to control a battlefield ranging from EW response to command and control. This is where SDS shines as their modular EW, radar suites, and targeting and tracking systems were tailor made for such a frame.


Image

Systems on the BASD-3Q
    The systems can be accessed both through the instrument panel, and also using a HUD linked into the pilots’ helmets.

  • OBZT 450 (FeumKon) targeting and tracking system utilizes the multiview electro-optical system located just to the rear of the gun mount and nose. It works in conjunction with the other SDS electronic systems to form a master C&C suite.
  • KOMVR 690 (Komverkrit) encrypted communications system has a pod antenna below the rotors, and a control bay inside the cabin. It works in conjunction with the other systems, along with sending and receiving data to central command points.
  • TOPT 720 (Sorvach) is a tri-camera long distance optical tracking system that aids the OBZT 450, FETR 880, and RLWR 490, in performance of surveillance, control, and tracking of multiple units, friendly or not, on the battlefield.
  • Equipped with a RLWR 490 (Pulswon) radar suite which is a multi-band, multi-functional suite working in concert with the other systems on board. The largest mast is located below the rotors on the frame, opposite side of the KOMVR 690 antenna, and the smaller, secondary mast on the same side as the comms system, with the main controls in the bay with the communications system.
  • The FETR 880 is a scanning system able to monitor FLIR, EMP, multi-band radar, and other ranges of electronic systems of a target. It works closely with the ELWD system, but can also be used independently, in order to surveil without alerting a target of the presence of the 3Q by attacking those systems through the ELWD 1510 (see below..
  • The ELWD 1510 is the Electronic Warfare suite on board the 3Q. It has the capability of jamming hostile systems, as well as countering enemy jamming of friendly systems, across several bandwidths. The ELWD has programming to breach enemy systems and scramble them, at times even rendering them permanently disabled, as well as looping reboots. Effective against radar, surveillance, and command and control systems. In this instance, it would more likely be used in a shield capacity, rather than an offensive capacity, as the 3Q is not likely, or recommended, to be forward deployed.
  • It has a LKRH 205 (Leurkodrich) countermeasure dispenser on the tail that can fire off both chaff and flares.



Cost
  • BASD-3T (with cargo hook/winch and suspension system mount) : $81 million
  • BASD-3H (with full hospital set up) : $85 million
  • BASD-3Q (with full SDS electronic suites) : $142 million

BASD-4 Series: Compact High Speed Helicopter Series


Overview
The BASD-4 helicopter series is a very flexible, small helicopter designed for a multitude of roles in both the military and civilian sectors. Just to name a few, the list of capabilities of the BASD-4 include reconnaissance, special operations, COIN, medevac, weather and traffic reporting, executive transporting, tourism, and scientific missions, among many other uses.


Image
The BASD-4. The joint project at its most versatile.


Design & Specifications

    Whilst the general utility/transport requirements of both nations would be filled by the BASD 2 series, an additional requirement became apparent, namely the requirement of a light, fast and small rotorcraft which could be used to perform special and unique missions, where the BASD 2 Series would be too large to be practical.

    The unique nature and requirements of the Port Ember Security Forces Task Force 79 Commando Unit and the Neu Engollon Defense Militia - Diplomatic Guard Corps, directly shaped the development of the Four series, which placed speed, low radar cross-section, and durability as the central design concepts.

    The versatility, durability, simple mechanics and avionics, and low maintenance requirements of the bird also makes it extremely feasible for a wide range of civilian use.

  • Length: 8.5 meters
  • Height: 2.5 meters
  • Rotors: 8m diameter; Loft is provided by 4 top rotor blades and a rear rotor with 3 blades. The airframe has stabilising tail wings
  • Crew: 1 pilot; 1 co-pilot
  • Passengers: 4
  • Empty weight: 700 kg
  • Max. Take-off Weight: 1500 kg
  • Powerplant: 1 × Blackstone Aviation BAT20A turboshaft engine, 1000 hp
    The BASD-4S, 4G, and 4R variants utilize a BAT21B engine.
  • Access: The crew cabin has a removable hinged door on each side that can become a floatation device, while the 4S has open bays on either side.


    Performance
  • Top Speed: 330 km/h
  • Range: 500 km
  • Service ceiling: 6000 meters
  • Rate of climb: 13 m/s


Image
The BASD-4 is perfect for dozens of military missions and civilian needs.


Systems & Suites

    The systems are accessed through the instrument panel.

  • KOMVR 210 (Komverkrit) encrypted communications system is located inside the nose. It works in conjunction with the other systems, along with sending and receiving data to central command points.
  • It is equipped with a basic RSWR 180 (Pulswon) radar suite which is multi-band. It has one mast below the rotors.
  • The 4G and 4S variants sport LKRH 205 (Leurkodrich) countermeasure dispenser on the tail that can fire off both chaff and flares.


Image
The primary design for the BASD-4S was for behind the lines, special operations missions.


Variants

  • The BASD-4 is the basic model, which is a small transport, but can also be used for medevac, police operations, tourism, traffic reporting, scientific tracking, and a variety of other civilian purposes. It utilizes the KOMVR 180 communications and RSWR 215 radar systems on both the military and civilian models, which are scaled down compact, basic versions of SDS’ patented electronic systems.
  • The BASD-4R is the recon model, which sports an impressive array of SDS electronic surveillance and tracking suites for such a small rotorcraft. Generally, the max capacity of this aircraft is 2, with one acting as pilot, while the other personnel is the systems control officer.

    This variant’s systems differ from the basic 4 Series model in that they have the KOMVR 390 communications system, the RMWR 330 radar suite, and the OBZT 450 Targeting and Tracking system, which all work together to provide full surveillance capability.
  • The BASD-4G is the ground support variant, with additional weapon wings mounted on both flanks, with three hardpoints each. The current image displays a configuration of 2 rocket pods and one Gatling gun, per wing. This is customizable to more rocket pods, compact missile hardpoints, or additional gun points. It also utilizes the enhanced electronics systems that the 4S is also equipped with.
  • BASD-4S is the special operations model that has open bays for carrying a squad of 6 fully loaded troops, and is able to hold an additional 2 standing on each rail. It has a powerplant of a BAT21B in order to support the extra weight. It also is loaded with the enhanced systems listed below that are not standard in the basic BASD-4.


Systems on the BASD-4S & 4R
    The systems can be accessed both through the instrument panel, and also using a HUD linked into the pilots’ helmets.

  • OBZT 450 (FeumKon) targeting and tracking system utilizes the multiview electro-optical system located just to the rear of the gun mount and nose. It works in conjunction with the other SDS electronic systems to form a master C&C suite. 4R & 4S
  • KOMVR 690 (Komverkrit) encrypted communications system has a pod antenna below the rotors, and a control bay inside the cabin. It works in conjunction with the other systems, along with sending and receiving data to central command points. 4R & 4S
  • TOPT 720 (Sorvach) is a tri-camera long distance optical tracking system that aids the OBZT 450, FETR 880, and RLWR 490, in performance of surveillance, control, and tracking of multiple units, friendly or not, on the battlefield. 4R only.
  • A RMWR 330 (Pulswon) radar suite, which is a multi-band, multi-functional suite working in concert with the other systems on board. The mast is located below the rotors on the frame, opposite side of the KOMVR 690 antenna. 4R & 4S
  • The FETR 530 is a scanning system able to monitor FLIR, EMP, multi-band radar, and other ranges of electronic systems of a target. 4R only.
  • A LKRH 205 (Leurkodrich) countermeasure dispenser is loaded in the back outer cabin that can fire off both chaff and flares. 4R & 4S.

Akua Series UUVs

Postby Neu Engollon » Tue Jun 15, 2021 6:19 pm

Akua Series UUVs

All of the Akua UUVs are highly modular and the user is able to customize a myriad of options that enable diverse operations like civilian industrial purposes such as rapid seabed scanning, and pollutant detection; to military applications like reconnaissance, ‘hunt and neutralize’, ASW, and heavy ordnance delivery. A basic sonar package and collision avoidance system is standard on all.

The modular systems include optical/sonar surveillance and recording gear, BK-7 mini-torpedoes on certain models, and even the NEDI F99 flechette gun for defense against enemy frogmen, which is mounted on the A2 model.

Both the A2 and A3 are also UAV capable for short periods, with turbo rockets installed enabling them to break the water surface and take to the air for a brief period to scan the surface and horizon or enable another angle of delivery, much like a flying fish might skip into the air. However, constant airborne use will significantly decrease battery life.

Reloading of munitions is relatively easy and fast with trained crews and enables a quick turnaround for continuous rotating delivery of payloads on targets using multiple UUVs.

All Akua UUVs are powered by the proprietary L24T Batterie developed by SDS.
It has an operational area of several 100 kms and 2 weeks without maintenance. The battery operates and recharges itself off seawater sucked into vents in the UUV, which is then filtered at a molecular level to use resultant energy electrodes, and then expels a minimal waste product that has little environmental impact. If regularly maintained, the battery can operate for 8-9 months of continuous use before needing replacement.


Image


A (Akua) 1 - Mantala
(Frandit: Mahn-tah-la
Eng: Manta wing or ray)


The A1 - Mantala is the basic, economic UUV choice, but still very capable with several modular choices for multiple operations. It is perfect for the organization or national military that is seeking a UUV fleet of some quantity, but not compromising quality.

It is a great recon vehicle in order to detect enemy submersibles that would normally avoid most sonar, as well as scanning structures and infrastructure near a target coast, both underwater and from the surface.

In offensive capability, it can hold two mini-torpedoes on wing mounts, or be loaded with explosives to become a one-time maneuverable delivery vehicle against enemy hulls. A small cost to pay to take out an enemy capital ship.

Cost: Basic package $95,000 NSD
Full package: $160,000 NSD

Image


A (Akua) 2 - Kalamoro
(Frandit: Kah-lah-Moh-roh
Eng: Squid)


The A2 - Kalamoro is quite the workhorse of the SDS stable of UUVs. It is a very sturdy vehicle and has long endurance with solar cells built in so that it can ride the surface to recharge the lithium battery. The A2 has a robotic arm that is able to be customized to extend out to retrieve organic and geologic samples, or place objects such as limpet mines or to have diamond bladed saws attached for cutting through underwater cables or hulls.

During such operations, the hovering rotors can be engaged to provide for a steady, nearly immobile platform.

For military applications, the A2 can pack two BK-7 class mini-torpedoes, one on each shortened wing.

For defense or offense against enemy underwater drones and frogmen, the A2 is equipped with the NEDI F99 flechette cannon. The F99 can rapidly fire flechettes that are designed to pierce body and vehicle armor with a cyclical rate of 400/min. Short bursts are recommended, however, as the A2 can carry only a limited amount of flechette ammunition.

Cost: Basic package $260,000 NSD (without torpedo mounts, F99 and upgraded surveillance gear)
Full package $420,000 NSD


Image


A (Akua) 3 - Zugan
(Frandit: Zshu-gahn
Eng. Glider)



The A3 - Zugan is an unmanned underwater, high speed glider. The Zugan is the fastest UUV model in the SDS inventory and is perfect for maneuvering in hostile waters or rapid delivery. The nose cone can be packed with explosives or a camera and it is able to mount one mini-torpedo for rapid delivery.

Cost: Basic package $150,000 NSD (without torpedo mount and upgraded surveillance gear)
Full package $242,000 NSD




Training and Technical Support is available from Schwyz Defense Systems. We can train competent pilots, technical and maintenance crews on a tight program within a matter of weeks on how to operate and maintain the underwater drones as well as how to set the equipment to gather the maximum amount of data and how to digest that information once retrieved.

Any unauthorized accessing or tampering with Schwyz DS electronic systems (possibly for reverse engineering) will trigger an anti-tampering device in all Schwyz systems. Besides cooking the circuits, it may cause small fires and possible injury or death to individual(s) tampering with the wiring, optics or electronics. Also, there is a possibility of releasing toxic fumes from melted wire casings and components in such an event.

REPAIR, MAINTENANCE and PARTS REPLACEMENT: Technicians can be sent out for any maintenance or re-configuring of systems necessary. In certain special instances, maintenance input codes can be given out in lieu of on-site technician teams being sent.

The Gracchus-class ELINT ship is an electronic/signals intelligence vessel, the first non-civilian model produced by Maritime Imperial or any of its subsidiaries, and represents the company's first foray into military spheres. Designed between 2011 and 2014, the ship is a collaboration between Tethys Mara, Maritime Imperial's naval wing, and Neu Engollian firm Schwyz Defense Systems, originally commissioned by the Neu Engollon Defense Forces in order to replace their aging Oste-class ships and also accommodate the updated systems provided by Schwyz Defense Systems. It was developed in order to fulfill the need of a customized ELINT/SIGINT vessel that could gather information on the high seas and support fleet operations.

A more affordable variant of our nuclear-powered Belisarius-class ELINT ship, the diesel-fuelled ELKTRM (Electronic/Signals Monitoring) Gracchus is designed for operation in warm to temperate waters and climates, lacking a specialised icebreaking hull. This makes it a cost-effective, yet no less viable, alternative to the Belisarius for nations which do not need or expect to operate in frigid climates. The basic hull structure is an adapted form of Oldport Engineering's Thebes-class whaler, but its structure has been entirely optimised for signals intelligence and recon roles.

For boarding defense, weapons, or less lethal water cannons, can be pintle-mounted on to the deck to repel boarders. A countermeasures package tailored to modular attachments made for the Gracchus by Schwyz Logiztek includes chaff and flare launchers and a CIWS gun to knock down those inbound projectiles which can be radar tracked. Mounting more offensive armaments is feasible but not recommended for a number of reasons - mainly that it can invite heavier retaliation, but also as space is needed for both the crew and systems to operate optimally.

The ELKTRM Gracchus is able to intercept transmissions on most bandwidths and spectra. In passive transmission collection mode, it can absorb hundreds of signals and bits of data per second and record it for later transcription or for instant re-transmission to central data gathering. When confronted by hostile jamming and electronic interference, the ELKTRM can bounce damaging jamming back onto the transmitter, as well as utilize its own jamming equipment to interfere and scramble enemy transmissions.

With an array of electronic systems and suites, the Gracchus is the perfect support ship for a fleet, but can also operate independently. When the extra countermeasure packages are added, the ELKTRM can thwart immediate attacks from hostiles alerted to its presence and true purpose, in order to flee the area quickly, or fall back on fleet protection.

The full package of Schwyz countermeasure and electronic surveillance suites and systems for the ELKTRM includes:
  • 215 MTPC Metal Power Chaff System
  • 275 STPF Star Power Flare Dispenser
  • 450 OBZT (FeumKon) Target/Track System
  • 490 RLWR (Pulswon) Long Range Air/Surface Radar
  • 690 KOMVR (Komverkrit) Encrypted Communications System
  • 1200 FETR (Sorvach) (FLIR/EMP/Radar/Signal Surveillance) Suite
  • 1510 ELWD (Elektguer) Electronic Defense Suite
Purchase cost, without extras, is 135 million NSD. Additional compatible armament packages for protection of the vessel can be purchased at Schwyz Defense System's website.

The Belisarius-class nuclear-powered ELINT ship is an electronic/signals intelligence vessel, part of Maritime Imperial's entrance into military spheres. It is a more powerful version of the Gracchus-class, and comes furnished with two nuclear reactors and a special icebreaking hull. Designed between 2011 and 2014, the Belisarius is a collaboration between Tethys Mara, Maritime Imperial's naval wing, and Neu Engollian firm Schwyz Defense Systems, originally commissioned by the Neu Engollon Defense Forces in order to replace their aging Oste-class ships and also accommodate the updated systems provided by Schwyz Defense Systems. It was developed in order to fulfill the need of a customized ELINT/SIGINT vessel that could gather information on the high seas and support fleet operations.

A more potent variant of the diesel-fuelled Gracchus-class ELINT ship, the nuclear-powered ELKTRM (Electronic/Signals Monitoring) Belisarius is particularly designed for operation in cooler waters and climates, possessing a specialised icebreaking hull which allows it to operate even around the poles. The basic hull structure is inspired by the Argalium-class icebreaker, but its structure has been entirely optimised for signals intelligence and recon roles. This includes an overall size reduction and a considerable redesign of the superstructure.

A consequence of this redesign is that the Belisarius is capable of sustaining greater speeds and operating over greater distances than its predecessors. It retains the two NK-500 nuclear reactors of the Argalium on which it is modelled, but with less mass behind it it can achieve greater flank and cruise speeds. Designed to move in close to shore and to navigate in both warmer and colder climates, the hull is very versatile. It is double hulled and specially resistant to extreme cold waters and temperatures, and its special designed, reinforced steel icebreaker hull is made for pushing up and over ice in order to break down into and through it. It has more horsepower than a typical vessel of its size due to nuclear power plant-driven engines. Besides giving it the extra leverage to muscle through ice, this gives it extra power to flee on open seas from threats it cannot repel.

For boarding defense, weapons, or less lethal water cannons, can be pintle-mounted on to the deck to repel boarders. A countermeasures package tailored to modular attachments made for the Belisarius by Schwyz Defense Systems includes chaff and flare launchers and a CIWS gun to knock down inbound projectiles that can be radar tracked. Mounting more offensive armaments is not recommended for a number of reasons - mainly that it can invite heavier retaliation, but also as space is needed for both the crew and systems to operate optimally.

When the extra countermeasure packages are added, the ELKTRM can thwart immediate attacks from hostiles alerted to its presence and true purpose, in order to flee the area quickly, or fall back on fleet protection. In comparison to the smaller Gracchus, the Belisarius possesses a similar but more extensive arsenal of electronic equipment.

SYSTEMS, SUITES, AND MODULAR PODS


All modular electronic and sensor systems available can be adapted and used with most any aircraft or vessel. It is recommended that they are mobile for greatest effectiveness, or mounted at high altitudes. Ideally, they would be used aerially, and they are also quite effective as part of the systems of capital ships. As well, special conditioning can prepare them for use in the outer atmosphere/space. The images shown below are generally of the external pod variety, but most all of the modular system components can be configured in a disk or squared modular rigging, as well as internally installed in a facility, aircraft or naval vessel with limited external components. Kits can be provided, and crews can be dispatched for custom fitting and mounting to the variety of platforms a corporation or military might utilize.
Cost is per pod or singular system installment and may not include kit or custom installment fees.

Cost: $ 9,653,000




(* Image Unavailable *)

FETR 530 (Sorvach)
FLIR/EMP/Signals/Radar Surveillance Suite pod
* Combination pod that can passively conduct surveillance utilizing a fast-scan, phased array system monitoring a wide spectrum of multiple bandwidths, light and signal patterns. This is a more compact version than the previous smallest FETR suite, the 880. It is ideal for customizing to fit in the frames of smaller fixed wing and rotor aircraft, as well as highly mobile ground vehicles. The range is only slightly less than the FETR 880.
Used in combination with other FETR pods, its effectiveness exponentially increases.


  • Range of sensors/elect. suites: 500 sq km effective to 940 sq km max
  • Cost: $9,750,000




Image


FETR 880 (Sorvach)
FLIR/EMP/Signals/Radar Surveillance Suite pod
* Combination pod that can passively conduct surveillance utilizing a fast-scan, phased array system monitoring a wide spectrum of multiple bandwidths, light and signal patterns.
Used in combination with other FETR pods, its effectiveness exponentially increases.


  • Range of sensors/elect. suites: 700 sq km effective to 1,200 sq km max
  • Cost: $14,250,000




Image


FETR 1200 (Sorvach)
FLIR/EMP/Signals/Radar Surveillance Suite pod
A combination pod that can passively conduct surveillance across an even wider spectrum and greater number of bandwidths, signals and wavelengths than the 880 FETR, with its fast-scan, phased array system.
In combination with other 1200 FETR pods, set to scan seperate wavelengths, the simultaneous coverage is incredibly complex. When set to scan patterns that have little overlap with sister units, the mathematical permutations are at extreme limits. For example, three 1200 FETRs are used on board the RCC Baron aircraft.


  • Range of sensors/detection: 1,500 sq km effective to 3,500 sq km max
  • Cost: $19,620,000




(* Image Unavailable *)

QOPT 1470 (Sorvach)

  • Overlapping coverage of 4 equi-distant lenses.
  • Range of cameras: 1,500 sq km effective to 4,600 sq km max (inner atmosphere)
  • Cost: $ 10,530,000




Image


ELWD 1690 (Elektguer)
Electronic Warfare/Defense Suite
Unlike many other electronic suites offered by Schwyz Defense Systems, the 1690 ELWD is not merely a passive surveillance or reconnaissance tool. It is quite an effective offensive weapon and when used efficiently and accurately, can permanently render systems inoperable far in advance of an aerial attack or ground offensive, as well as scrambling and tying up communications and shutting down enemy chains of command by crossing their signals. This is the piece de resistance of the RCC planes, that make them much more than an air mobile command center.

All known radar wavelengths and electronic bandwidths can be jammed and 'fried' or temporarily shut down or blocked, depending, on targeting distance. At closer distances, electronic systems are infected with multiple viruses, worms and other cyber infiltrations and put into endless booting loops that are almost impossible to break. After going through several of these unbootable loops, if not shut down, the targeted system is liable to overheat, causing permanent and catastrophic damage. Hence, they are 'fried'.

Likewise, the ELWD 1690 is very adept at holding off similar attacks from hostiles that might attempt to attack friendly forces, in the ground, at sea, or in the air. It can extend a virtual shield around friendly and allied sensitive electronic components within its range, rerouting, scrambling, bending and defeating electronic and electromagnetic jamming across several spectrums.


  • Range of effective electronic systems destruction or permanent shut down: 750 sq km
  • Range of jamming/counter-jamming and scrambling modes: 1,000 sq km effective to 2,200 sq km max
  • Cost: $25,650,000

Any unauthorized accessing or tampering with Schwyz DS electronic systems (possibly for reverse engineering) will trigger an anti-tampering device in all Schwyz systems. Besides cooking the circuits, it may cause small fires and possible injury or death to individual(s) tampering with the wiring, optics or electronics. Also, there is a possibility of releasing toxic fumes from melted wire casings in such an event.

REPAIR, MAINTENANCE and PARTS REPLACEMENT: Technicians can be sent out for any maintenance or re-configuring of systems necessary. In certain special instances, maintenance input codes can be given out in lieu of on-site technician teams being sent.

Introduces the

SL GXP

Image


The SL GXP
was a product developed for the NEDF (Neu Engollon Defense Forces), NESA (Neu Engollon Security Agency), and Pine Park (National Gendarmerie - Criminal Investigative Division) for issue to undercover operatives and field agents to maintain cover and communication with their Control and with assets they would be coordinating with in the field. While seeming to be an ordinary cell phone, the GXP is actually a satellite direct communication able, encrypted device that allows the user to pass along or receive vital, sensitive information without detection. While normal cellular phones can perform some such functions and be encrypted, the amount of filters and encryption layers of the SL GXP far outclass any mere civilian shelf model.

Schwyz Logiztek has branched off from Schwyz Defense Systems to become the civilian branch of the company, fielding technology that has many applications to the private sector as well as the governmental/military sector. The GXP satellite phone is the first product offered solely from Schwyz Logiztek, but certainly not the last. The current version is GXP 7, with GXP 8 in development and slated for release in Autumn 2024.

  • The satellite technology is able to seek out any of hundreds of known satellite networks, without having to rely on the local cell providers in the area which may be spotty at best. Additional satellite networks can be programmed into the phone. The file based encryption filters and second layer of hardware filters built in allow for a high comfort level of security. The GXP is able to mask the receiver and sender, as well as the data, whether it be sound or actual information bytes with a special scrambler-descrambler code which only the receiver and sender possess. Upon entering the complex code at the receipt of data, that data will become unscrambled.
  • The special encryption software app is Luxo-Crypt, developed by and licensed from Neu Engollian company Luxovar. In addition to being nearly un-hackable to those able to directly intercept the digital bursts of data, Luxo-Crypt has additional capability to defeat proximity hacking (using a device to hack another within a certain radial range).
  • All of these special encrypted features are code activated at every use. Should a user not have the code, or outside sources be able to hack in to the phone, it will operate and present itself only as a normal smart phone device. The sensitive data will remain inert and scrambled.
  • In addition, there is a 45 Megapixel (f/1.7) camera built into the phone for detailed, close-in surveillance work. This detail level is beyond most top shelf professional digital cameras, most of which average around 20 megapixels. While data is able to be stored and encrypted on the GXP, it is recommended for best security protocol that it is transmitted and then wiped as soon as possible.
  • The phone's normal communication surface layer is programmable for all the major networks in the known Multiverse.
  • Like its cousin, the GXT tablet, the GXP features the Cartolo map app for battlefield integration and friendly/foe identification.
  • Up until recently, SL had only made the GXP available to the domestic military, security and intelligence fields, as well as some select corporate clients worried about economic espionage. Now, after receiving government approval, they are making it available to the general market in the global community. Price per device is listed below.
    (Each sale is pending government oversight committee approval due to some of the sensitive, proprietary apps loaded onto the phone). Unless specified, it will be assumed a customer wants the latest model of the GXP.

    * GXP 3 = $250
    * GXP 4 = $320
    * GXP 5 = $495
    * GXP 6 = $740
    * GXP 7 = $950





SL GXT

Image


The SL GXT
like its cousin, the GXP, was developed for the military first, but was in high demand in the civilian sector, hence Schwyz Logiztek, the civilian division of SDS, developed a model for export. It is a rugged, hard shell encased tablet that is able to do just about everything a normal private sector tablet can, but is also enabled to send and receive highly encrypted data, store an incredible amount of data, as well as load apps to access and run said data. It is extremely well sealed and made to be used outside in all types of weather. It has a high heat, sand, humidity, and extreme cold resistance. The NEDF used the early versions of the GXT in dozens of environments, including wide usage in the Qasifyan deserts, and Northern Tavlyrian Arctic environments, with little issue.

  • One of the main featured apps of the GXT is Cartolo, developed by Luxovar, a Neu Engollian company, as a terrain/battle integration map app that enables users to program data, scenarios, and expected obstacles and denizens into a detailed, terrain map of anywhere in the known multiverse. Cartolo is able to reprogram routes on a map based on real time data received that would interfere with the initial routed journey. It is able to use friend or foe data transmitted from compatible software as part of its operation.
  • The GXT features high communication and data sharing capability, much like the GXP satellite phone it was developed alongside. Similarly, it can utilize hundreds of known available satellite connections to transmit and receive data. Luxo-Crypt is included in this app suite, enabling top of the line encryption, and security from both directed and proximity hacking.
  • The current model of the GXT is the 470, with the SL GXT 560 scheduled for release in Autumn 2024. Unless specified, it will be assumed that a customer is purchasing the latest model of the GXT.
  • GXT 150 = $500 NSD
  • GXT 230 = $800 NSD
  • GXT 350 = $1700 NSD
  • GXT 470 (Current model) = $2800 NSD
  • See the GXP for more features that are shared with the GXT.
