The Marquesan Special Projects Workshop (WIP)

Postby Marquesan » Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:10 pm

I'm not a weapons dealer, I'm a weapons tailor.
A brief note about what you'll see here.
This is where I'm keeping projects under development and systems available for purchase or for DPR. The upper section here are projects which are essentially complete but aren't going to be fully developed for the storefront. If you see something you like here, reach out to me about license-building it for your country and finishing out its development for you. The section below is tinkering space for me to work on new projects, and projects I'm currently working on. Be sure to check back often, this page always changes.

Check out the Systems Incubator to look at internal projects, the Foreign Export Systems page to view products produced for allied and affiliate nations, or you can view the Anagonian Military Dossier and Kraven Reich Dossier to see more Marquesan-designed equipment.

Communications Suite:
The next generation of secure tactical communications is represented on the Warden-Class Airship as SANMEN, or Secured Architecture Network, Multiple Exchange Nodes. SANMEN is a network operating on a hierarchal node architecture, meaning that groups share information with each other and pass information up to the next group which has access to all the data of the groups below it. Each group (in the case of a military operation, each unit) represents a node and that unit's command center is the "hive" of that node, with access to all others in it. SANMEN employs an extremely broadband approach, automatically sensing "white spaces" from ultra-low frequency to ultra-high frequency, taking advantage of unoccupied frequencies and transmitting on all unoccupied frequencies, electronically scanning and switching between them according to an algorithm which minimizes the possibility of detection. Because this network transmits on sometimes hundreds of frequencies simultaneously, it maintains an extremely high bandwidth, which can be as much as ten gigabytes per second in upload and download when transmitting line-of-sight. All allied vehicles carry SANMEN repeaters, which maximizes throughput and creates smaller Ad-Hoc networks within each node.

SANMEN operates on a 512-bit symmetrical key encryption and is fully digital, transmitting voice, text and data at extremely high speeds with very high security. Because the network transmits on such a broad range of frequencies, the network automatically optimizes the transmission according to the identifiers of the subscribers in contact, including submarines, surface ships, vehicles, airships, aircraft, drones and individual operators. For example, a submerged submarine will need to transmit on ultra-low frequencies, so SANMEN will automatically adjust the transmission at the nearest relay point to transmit only those frequencies. Each subscriber on the network carries a unique network identification that is provisioned according to individual settings; your network privilege depends on rank and role, vehicle type and hierarchal position. SANMEN will automatically present text in the language preferred by the subscriber and will present user status on the allied positional maps according to individual factors such as vehicle diagnostics, ammunition status, time-to-target and personal vitals. Each registered user down to individual operators is geolocated by a GPS transponder in their SANMEN equipment and that information is used to track the movement of allied forces. SANMEN provides turn-by-turn updated directions according to realtime target and objective data. SANMEN is cross-compatible to all existing allied networks and is reverse-compatible to all older communication systems such as MADL and MAGSNET, though access to SANMEN information will be limited according to the network provisions of the user.

SANMEN is transmitted primarily from Warden-Class Airships, which carry solid state, EMP-hardened transmitters rated to 500 kilowatts effective radiated power. These signals are transmitted through an extreme-wideband liquid plasma antenna, facilitating the 2,000 switch-per-second electronically scanned nature of the network. Individual users transmit back on fixed frequencies but receive communication through actively-scanned, encrypted broadband receivers. SANMEN's "central hive" is aboard a Warden-Class Airship, which means that the command center aboard each has access to the "full picture" of the battlespace and uses its combined fusion of information collected from its onboard sensors and information received from SANMEN to fuse together a complete picture of the battlespace and relay that information back down through the network to individual nodes and subscribers. Each Warden-Class Airship has a generally accepted transmission range from cruising altitude of roughly 300 kilometers, though this is limitlessly multiplied by other allied presences repeating the network information on. In the case of there being too great a distance or other mitigating factors prohibiting direct transmission, SANMEN information can be backhauled over satellite uplink.

Aerogel Core
On 2023-01-23 NASA announced funding the study of "Aerogel Core Fission Fragment Rocket Engine", where fissile fuel particles will be embedded in an ultra-low density aerogel matrix to achieve a critical mass assembly. The aerogel matrix (and a strong magnetic field) would allow fission fragments to escape the core, while increasing conductive and radiative heat loss from the individual fuel particles.

VASIMR is a type of electrothermal plasma thruster/electrothermal magnetoplasma thruster. In these engines, a neutral, inert propellant is ionized and heated using radio waves. The resulting plasma is then accelerated with magnetic fields to generate thrust. Other related electrically powered spacecraft propulsion concepts are the electrodeless plasma thruster, the microwave arcjet rocket, and the pulsed inductive thruster.

The propellant, a neutral gas such as argon or xenon, is injected into a hollow cylinder surfaced with electromagnets. On entering the engine, the gas is first heated to a "cold plasma" by a helicon RF antenna/coupler that bombards the gas with electromagnetic energy, at a frequency of 10 to 50 MHz,[3] stripping electrons off the propellant atoms and producing a plasma of ions and free electrons. By varying the amount of RF heating energy and plasma, VASIMR is claimed to be capable of generating either low-thrust, high–specific impulse exhaust or relatively high-thrust, low–specific impulse exhaust.[4] The second phase of the engine is a strong solenoid-configuration electromagnet that channels the ionized plasma, acting as a convergent-divergent nozzle like the physical nozzle in conventional rocket engines.

A second coupler, known as the Ion Cyclotron Heating (ICH) section, emits electromagnetic waves in resonance with the orbits of ions and electrons as they travel through the engine. Resonance is achieved through a reduction of the magnetic field in this portion of the engine that slows the orbital motion of the plasma particles. This section further heats the plasma to greater than 1,000,000 K (1,000,000 °C; 1,800,000 °F)—about 173 times the temperature of the Sun's surface.[5]

The path of ions and electrons through the engine approximates lines parallel to the engine walls; however, the particles actually orbit those lines while traveling linearly through the engine. The final, diverging, section of the engine contains an expanding magnetic field that ejects the ions and electrons from the engine at velocities as great as 50,000 m/s (180,000 km/h).[4][6]

Advantages
In contrast to the typical cyclotron resonance heating processes, VASIMR ions are immediately ejected from the magnetic nozzle before they achieve thermalized distribution. Based on novel theoretical work in 2004 by Alexey V. Arefiev and Boris N. Breizman of University of Texas at Austin, virtually all of the energy in the ion cyclotron wave is uniformly transferred to ionized plasma in a single-pass cyclotron absorption process. This allows for ions to leave the magnetic nozzle with a very narrow energy distribution, and for significantly simplified and compact magnet arrangement in the engine.[4]

VASIMR does not use electrodes; instead, it magnetically shields plasma from most hardware parts, thus eliminating electrode erosion, a major source of wear in ion engines.[7] Compared to traditional rocket engines with very complex plumbing, high performance valves, actuators and turbopumps, VASIMR has almost no moving parts (apart from minor ones, like gas valves), maximizing long term durability.[8]

Rotating fuel reactor

Fission-fragment propulsion concept
a fissionable filaments arranged in disks, b revolving shaft,
c reactor core, d fragments exhaust
A design by the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory[1] uses fuel placed on the surface of a number of very thin carbon fibres, arranged radially in wheels. The wheels are normally sub-critical. Several such wheels were stacked on a common shaft to produce a single large cylinder. The entire cylinder was rotated so that some fibres were always in a reactor core where surrounding moderator made fibres go critical. The fission fragments at the surface of the fibres would break free and be channeled for thrust. The fibre then rotates out of the reaction zone, to cool, to avoid melting.

The efficiency of the system is surprising; specific impulses of greater than 100,000s are possible using existing materials. This is high performance, although the weight of the reactor core and other elements would make the overall performance of the fission-fragment system lower. Nonetheless, the system provides the sort of performance levels that would make an interstellar precursor mission possible.

Dusty plasma

B reactor
C fission fragments decelerated for power generation
d moderator (BeO or LiH), e containment field generator, f RF induction coil
A newer design proposal by Rodney L. Clark and Robert B. Sheldon theoretically increases efficiency and decreases complexity of a fission fragment rocket at the same time over the rotating fibre wheel proposal.[2] In their design, nanoparticles of fissionable fuel (or even fuel that will naturally radioactively decay) are kept in a vacuum chamber subject to an axial magnetic field (acting as a magnetic mirror) and an external electric field. As the nanoparticles ionize as fission occurs, the dust becomes suspended within the chamber. The incredibly high surface area of the particles makes radiative cooling simple. The axial magnetic field is too weak to affect the motions of the dust particles but strong enough to channel the fragments into a beam which can be decelerated for power, allowed to be emitted for thrust, or a combination of the two. With exhaust velocities of 3% - 5% the speed of light and efficiencies up to 90%, the rocket should be able to achieve over 1,000,000 sec Isp.

The Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application (NERVA; /ˈnɜːrvə/) was a nuclear thermal rocket engine development program that ran for roughly two decades. Its principal objective was to "establish a technology base for nuclear rocket engine systems to be utilized in the design and development of propulsion systems for space mission application".[2] It was a joint effort of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and was managed by the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office (SNPO) until the program ended in January 1973. SNPO was led by NASA's Harold Finger and AEC's Milton Klein.

NERVA had its origins in Project Rover, an AEC research project at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) with the initial aim of providing a nuclear-powered upper stage for the United States Air Force intercontinental ballistic missiles. Nuclear thermal rocket engines promised to be more efficient than chemical ones. After the formation of NASA in 1958, Project Rover was continued as a civilian project and was reoriented to producing a nuclear powered upper stage for NASA's Saturn V Moon rocket. Reactors were tested at very low power before being shipped to Jackass Flats in the Nevada Test Site. While LASL concentrated on reactor development, NASA built and tested complete rocket engines.

The AEC, SNPO, and NASA considered NERVA a highly successful program in that it met or exceeded its program goals. It demonstrated that nuclear thermal rocket engines were a feasible and reliable tool for space exploration, and at the end of 1968 SNPO deemed that the latest NERVA engine, the XE, met the requirements for a human mission to Mars. The program had strong political support from Senators Clinton P. Anderson and Margaret Chase Smith but was cancelled by President Richard Nixon in 1973. Although NERVA engines were built and tested as much as possible with flight-certified components and the engine was deemed ready for integration into a spacecraft, they never flew in space.

The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR) is an electrothermal thruster under development for possible use in spacecraft propulsion. It uses radio waves to ionize and heat an inert propellant, forming a plasma, then a magnetic field to confine and accelerate the expanding plasma, generating thrust. It is a plasma propulsion engine, one of several types of spacecraft electric propulsion systems.[1]

The VASIMR method for heating plasma was originally developed during nuclear fusion research. VASIMR is intended to bridge the gap between high thrust, low specific impulse chemical rockets and low thrust, high specific impulse electric propulsion, but has not yet demonstrated high thrust. The VASIMR concept originated in 1977 with former NASA astronaut Franklin Chang Díaz, who has been developing the technology ever since.[2]

two eight-wheeled bogies with an articulated inter-bogie connection, each with three axles powered by a separate traction motor per axle and with the fourth non-powered axle in an integral leading pony truck to reduce the axle load.
The 3 kV DC Class 4E electric locomotive was designed for the SAR by the General Electric Company (GEC) and was built by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL) between 1952 and 1953. The Class 4E was amongst the most powerful electric locomotives in the world at that time and at 157,488 kilograms (155 long tons), it was a heavy locomotive for 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) Cape gauge. The reasons for the leading pony truck were both to improve stability at speed and to reduce the axle load.
Between 1959 and 1961, the SAR placed 115 high-nosed Class 32-000 GE type U18C1 diesel-electric locomotives in service in South West Africa, where very light rail conditions necessitated lighter axle loadings which could not be achieved with conventional three-axle bogies under a heavy 96,520 kilograms (95 long tons) locomotive.[1][page needed][2][page needed][4]
In June and July 1966, ten low-nosed Class 32-200 GE type U20C1 diesel-electric locomotives entered service on the SAR. The Class 32-200 was actually a Class 33-000 locomotive on the 1Co bogies of the Class 32-000, which reduced its axle load from the 15,749 kilograms (15.5 long tons) of the Class 33-000 to 12,700 kilograms (12.5 long tons). Apart from the bogies, which necessitated a smaller fuel tank, its physical dimensions and exterior appearance were identical to that of the Co+Co Class 33-000 and it used the same V12 prime mover.
1Co+Co1, like Co+Co, is an articulated variant where the drawbar forces are taken between the bogies rather than through the frame. These were used in South Africa, for lighter loadings on the lightly-laid 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) Cape gauge. A number of Japanese electrics from the 1930s, also on Cape gauge, such as the EF10 also used this arrangement.

The gun was mounted on a simple pivot mount on a ballrace on a well-base flatcar with four outriggers. In action the outriggers and their jacks would be dropped to stabilize the gun and absorb the firing recoil. In addition jacks locked the spring suspension, bore on the surface of the rails and screw clamps gripped the rails for more stability.

The Skyan "DuoFire" program set out to develop a single heavy multiservice projectile and a lightweight, compact autocannon which could be employed in a wide variety of roles as part of a wide variety of current and future platforms and systems. DuoFire cannons replace a number of smaller and older weapon systems in Skyan inventories, and has been retrofitted into existing military systems throughout the Skybound Republic. The complete gun system with all components weighs 360 pounds or 164 kilograms; it is just over 12 feet in overall length with an 8-foot recoiling barrel and "arrowhead" style muzzle brake. Dual ammunition feeds feed from helical drum magazines which can be quickly installed and uninstalled, so that the operator may change ammunition types quickly; magazines can be preloaded in the field and changed in seconds, facilitating rapid turnaround of Skyan fighter aircraft.

The gun is referred to as "DuoFire" because of its dual rates of fire; the gun can operate at a depressed, but continuous 360 rounds per minute, or 6 rounds per second through an entire 216-round magazine, or at its full fire rate, 1,440 rounds per minute or 24 rounds per second with cooling time allowed between bursts. At the slower rate, the accuracy of followup shots increases; it is most often used for the destruction of armored or reinforced ground targets like wheeled and tracked tactical vehicles, or fighters operating inside concrete and steel buildings. Type-C (SAPHE) and Type-D (APFSDS) ammunition will fire at 360 RPM; the gun automatically recognizes ammunition type when the magazine is loaded. Type-A and Type-B ammunition fire at the gun's full 1,440 RPM cyclic rate; short bursts of fire place dozens of rounds downrange and the gun limits single bursts to three seconds automatically, to conserve ammunition and permit barrel cooling.

Four ammunition types are currently manufactured for the DuoFire Gun. Type-A ammo, referred to as AHEAD (or Advanced High-Explosive Air Defense) is a thin-wall case machined from high strength steel. Inside the case, a 500-gram aluminized Octogen explosive charge is packed with 64 smal tungsten carbide cubes. Upon detonation, the metal-augmented charge consisting of Octogen high explosive mixed with aluminum provides a massive concussion, which propels the tungsten cubes and shrapnel at hypersonic speed in all directions, which destroys air targets like missiles, aircraft, drones and helicopters both with blast and shrapnel effects. Type-A rounds have a LADAR proximity fuze, using a very simple laser sensor on the nose of each round to make extremely accurate determinations of distance in flight, leading to an extremely accurate round requiring fewer rounds to destroy an aircraft than a 20mm Vulcan cannon or common 30mm autocannons.

Type-B ammunition is an Incendiary/Illumination round, which contains a bursting charge and a 50/50 mixture of white phosphorous and magnesium powder in a thin-wall copper shell. These time-fuzed shells detonate at an interval programmed into each round during firing; upon detonation, the pyrophoric WP ignites in contact with the air. This ensures ignition of the powdered magnesium, which burns at 2,200 degrees C; the superheated, incandescent cloud created by detonation of these shells starts fires which are difficult to extinguish and cannot be fought with water, as burning magnesium forms hydrogen gas on contact with water, and WP may reignite after being sprayed with water. Type-B ammunition fires at the DuoFire's full rate of 1,440 RPM or 24 rounds per second; it leaves the muzzle at Mach 3.73 and has an effective range of 1,260 meters, or 8/10 of a mile.

Type-C ammunition is a multipurpose Semi-Armor Piercing design, with a tungsten ballistic cap and an impact/delay fuze, which allows the round to punch into concrete or stone before detonating, or to penetrate some distance into armor; the high-strength steel case contains 1.2 kilograms of Octogen high-explosive mixed with finely powdered aluminum. The Metal Augmented Charge (MAC) enhances the blast and incendiary effects behind armor; rounds of this type are frequently used for destruction of buildings and infrastructure targets in urban combat environments; Type-C leaves the muzzle at Mach 3.19 due to its higher weight at 2.7 kilograms, it is fired at the depressed rate, 360 RPM or 6 rounds per second to increase the accuracy of followup shots; the gun runs in fully automatic mode firing this type, and is effective to 4.15 kilometers, or 2.58 miles distance.

Type-D ammunition is a 330mm, 15mm diameter fin-stabilized dart round, constructed from Staballoy, a mixture of titanium and depleted uranium, which is a byproduct of the Nuclear Power industry. Encased in a nylon sabot, the 1.1 kilogram dart leaves the muzzle at Mach 5.25 and strikes at a thousand meters distance with sufficient power to penetrate 370mm, or 14.67" of modern laminate composite armor. The compact, powerful Type-D ammunition is fired at the depressed fire rate, 6 rounds per second, which allows for tight groups of followup shots; the effect of a battle tank or other armored vehicle being bombarded with dozens of finned penetrator darts is devastating; in situations where the vehicle relies on explosive reactive armor for protection, this type of fire can rapidly deplete the ability of ERA to protect the tank, which can then be seriously damaged or knocked out more easily.

@Marquesan I hereby proclaim you as the Gothic Mad Scientist, who actually isn't mad but a brilliant genius which every nations military goes to consult when they quietly tell their leaders, "We'll consult our experts" and when asked who they always say "private sources"
@Marquesan I will say man you're the only person on NS I've ever mistaken for a genuine Weapons designer.
