Press Release
Naboo Technologies has a long and prestigious history of being at the forefront of nuclear physics research, development and applications, both civilian and military. Today we once again introduce an innovation that has many practical military and civilian uses.
Vectored Energy Release warheads
Developed to assist in the construction of our large geo-thermal power network, Vectored Energy Release Warheads are a new technology allowing us to control the direction and spread of energy released from nuclear warheads up to 25MT. It relies on a classified, new principle of sub-atomic interaction between certain materials.
From this we have devised two new nuclear devices for a variety of purposes with more on the way.
Stone Burner:
These nuclear devises release enormous amounts of energy in a concentrated beam along the axis of the warhead with the forward beam designed to carry as much of energy as possible (testing has shown performance generally varies from between 60% to 72% of the energy released). These weapons allow the rapid creation of tunnels, canals and other long, straight structures. These devices are restricted to >3MT as it is believed that exceeding 5MT would allow a single device to penetrate to the crust into the mantle.
Mountain Buster:
The Mountain buster is ultimate in bunker buster technology. Named for it's literal ability to demolish a mountain it was specifically designed to destroy very large, hardened underground structures such as military bunkers and underground cities. The Mountain buster penetrates into the rock before detonating, releasing at least 60% of its energy into the mountain. The angle of spread can be adjusted before launch between 20º to 60º allowing for it to pinpoint structures or destroy whole cities.
It has become increasingly clear that the demand for far more powerful heavy jet engines has grown extensively of late leading us to develop some of the most powerful engines ever built
Nuclear - Turbojets and ramjets
These heavy power plants replace combustion all together, employing an unshielded 500MW nuclear reactor instead to heat and pressurise the exhaust gasses. The only fuel required is that of the ceramic fission rods which greatly extends flight times and reliability. Heavy shielding is of course required making each engine weigh at least 90 tonnes for turbojets and 56 tonnes for ramjets.
So far these powerplants are able to achieve 1,026 kN of thrust with further developments to come.
Nuclear ramjets are well suited for cruise missiles- in fact some argue that with the nuclear fuel and the energy imparted by a 60 tonne missile impacting at over mach 5.
Nuclear turbojets on the other hand are exceedinly well suited for extreme heavy lift vehicles giving providing immense lift capacity and practically limitless range.
(OOC: http://en.wikipedia....i/Project_Pluto - nuclear ramjet cruise missile. I did modernise it a bit since modern jet engines exceed its performance and yeah)
In other areas of development, we have now completed work on our second generation full body powered combat exoskeleton. Our new model is a completely new design from our previous one building on the lessons of the first.
Features:
*Comfort and Safety
This suit provides full body protection against CBRN threats for extended periods of time whilst remaining relatively comfortable.
*Superior protection
Provides unparalleled protection against small and heavy arms fire. The armour makes use of non-Newtonian fluids and piezoelectric doping to actually convert incoming energy to electricity to power the suit with the rest being absorbed as heat by the coolant system. Whislt far from invincible the armour enables those wearing them to be unaffraid of all but the heaviest of small arms fire.
*Advanced HUD
The advanced hud shows the user critical information whilst maintaining the simplicity needed in the heat of combat. Taking advantage of the advanced optical sensors, the hud allows for an extended vision of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing the user to turn on and off infrared overlays.
Light saturation enhancements constantly monitor the amount of light energy entering the optical sensors, adjusting the output so that the user is never blinded by a flash or made blind by turning out the lights.
Target detection and tracking ensure that the soldier is aware of all people, both hostile and non hostile in the area with targets being designated as either "hostile", "Friendly", "Non-combatant" or "Unknown".
Integrated map software provides map data of the local area - people and vehicles are displayed on the map as sensed.
*Immobilising weapons
The suit has contains three light sources. One is mounted on the centre of the chest, the other two are mounted on the palms of each hand in a smlim and uninterfering way. The chest light contains a 500,000 Candella strobe light which is strong enough to paralyse those int its beam. The hands have two smaller 80,000 Candella lamps which can be used around corners and such to severely disorientate and temporarily blind those in the beams path.
These are only turned on when needed and the lense are normally covered by retractable doors to protect them.
*Advanced Digital Camoflage
The armour mathematically analyses the colours and patterns detected in the its optical sensors and via fibreoptics alters the colours and patterns of the camoflauge system as needs change.
*Powered suits enable them to run and normal speeds despite heavy armour and allow them to lift and carry twice as much.
*RITEG power packs.
Utilising 222Rn which has a half life of 3.82 days, these packs are able to provide enough energy for arduous activity for about 110 hours. The Radon packs are replacable like batteries.
*Integrated weapons
Onboard computers assist in targeting, weapon readouts keep constant track of the state of the weapons exoskeleton ensures that the weapon remains perfectly still, recoil can be held in check by the added strength.
*Networked systems
If one soldier detects an enemy, the data is transmitted to everyone else - keepign everyone in the loop.
*Brain-Machine interface intercepts motor signals which allow the machine to move in unison with the soldier rather than in response to the solder.

These suits are being rolled out all accross the military. An export version is likely to be produced with several features missing once our own demand is met.
Meanwhile research continues to work on improving the design.
Thank you for attending.

And do I count to the people who can have those Nuclear jets? 
Too bad you can't buy a SDI baron...
