In a [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P067hgX-Ft4"]dramatic video feed[/url], MILitary Aviation Complex, MILAC has showcased the newest 'C-BLOCK' incarnation of the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantsir-S1"]Predictor[/url] Tactical Air Defense Weapon system and its offshoot platform derivative, the [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=59602&view=findpost&p=1688989"]Thrasher[/url] SPAAG. Most commonly seen as the combined Gun and Missile system the Nodic Militancy has come to rely upon to defend against incoming strafe and ordinance attacks, several Thrasher and Predictor platforms were engaged in a frightening live fire exercise within the Antarctic territorial holdings. Several ship launched OPFOR '[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klub_missile"]Soloist[/url]' Variable-speed Medium Cruise missiles were fired into the distance where several of these and an unannounced and assumed to be experimental stationary defense successfully engaged the Supersonic 'attackers' in a sobering simulation. Lasting only for several seconds, this demonstration was designed to test updated and improved gun laying algorithms against modern threats enemy nations may field against our noble forces and homesteads.

In a rather momentous occasion, the Executive Ministry has unveiled the first of several additions to the resurgent MILITANT NAVAL COMMAND (MNC). Expectations were high as footage of the first pair of Infinity-Class Frigates undergoing their war rites was released today. The MS [i]'Eternity'[/i] and MS [i]'Aeon'[/i] were seen in all their glory, their bleach-white hulls exhibiting a radiant beauty that obscured their status as being the first major surface combatants the Nation of Nod has ever fielded.

[i]The Infinity-class Frigate is designed as a multi-role major surface combatant, serving as an escort to larger war vessels and acting as a platform for Anti-Submarine, Aircraft and Reconnaisance/Surveillance operations[/i][/center]

[b]Displacement:[/b] 3700 tons
[b]Length: [/b]151 meters
[b]Beam:[/b] 17.52 meters
[b]Draught:[/b] 6.01 meters
[b]Propulsion:[/b] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_diesel_and_gas#CODAG_WARP"]CODAG-WARP[/url]
[b]Speed:[/b] 41 knots
[b]Range:[/b] 15,000 km at 25 knots
[b]Complement:[/b] 162 (including limited aircrew)
[b]Sensors/Processing:[/b] G-band Multi-role Surveillance Radar, 2 x Monopulse X-band (I/J) Optical Radar Tracker, Electro-optical Tracker, Integrated Naval IFF system, Integrated Target-track and Identification Sighting System, Sonar package, Obstacle Avoidance Sonar Package
[b]Electronic Warfare/Countermeasures:[/b] Integrated and All-inclusive EW and ECM suite including ESM and ELINT capabilities, Active/Passive Transponder Array (mimics incoming enemy Radar echo with a delay to indicate false range or amplify return echos to simulate a higher-intensity target or reproduce several false echoes to signify an erroneously large number of targets constantly and over several frequencies), Smoke, Flare and Chaff Launching systems
[b]Armament:[/b]
1 x 76 mm ETC Cannon
2 x Predictor Tactical Air Defense Weapon (2 x 40mm Autocannon + 12 x Spangle Two-Stage SAM)
6 x 12.7 mm Remotely Operated Machine Gun
16 x [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klub_missile"]Soloist[/url] Variable-speed Medium Anti-ship Cruise missile (4 x Quad Cell VLS)
32 x 'Transcension' Advanced Capability Surface-to-Air Missile [Non-Hyper Velocity] (4 x Eight Cell VLS)
4 x 324mm Torpedo Tubes firing Anti-Surface Torpedos or ASW Guided Missiles
8 x 254mm ASW Rocket Launchers
[b]Armor:[/b] 76mm belt, 36mm deck, 100mm command module
[b]Air Complement:[/b] 2 x LAMP (modified Ravager Attack Helicopter), OR 1 Harbinger Assault Transport (Configured for ASW), 12 UAV Recon/Skirmish

Typical duties include
[sup][/sup][list][*]Patrols[*]Defensive sea surveillance[*]Combat Search and Rescue[*]Direct Fire Support via Cannon and AshMs[*]Submarine Detection and Destruction duties via sonar, torpedo launch and torpedo countermeasure systems, LAMP[*]Intelligence Hampering and Gathering via significant UAV (drone) launching capacity and EW/ELINT systems[*]Close-in Fire Support and Neutralization of Enemy Ordinance and Aviation[/list]
Built using properties of stealthy design inherent in most high valued Nodic military assets, the Infinity class includes extensive use of 'X-form' structuring. Right angles and vertical surfaces are avoided to reduce the vessel's radar profile to that of a vessel approximately one half of its displacement. With a conspicuous lack of any funnels, exhaust from the Infinity's gas turbines and diesel engines are cooled, then expelled below the waterline making the frigate almost invisible to most infrared target acquisition and engagement systems. The lack of funnels frees up desirable room amidships for armament, crew quarters and accomodations, and armor. Its flowing, almost organic frame boasts very low radar, acoustic and magnetic signature via horizontal exhaust, water jet propulsion and aforementioned X-form. With the radar cross section of a missile patrol boat, 75% lower infrared signature, 25% less displacement and 30% fewer crew-women, the Infinity is a cost effective and pound for pound formidable contender on the high seas.

The fleet of 20 Silence class SSN's have been broken up into several smaller hunter-killer groups, which shall be dispersed throughout various major blue water locations of strategic value. Care would be given for the vessels to not go below a depth of approximately 1,600 feet while maintaining a constant acoustic pattern of clicks and tones associated with roaming blue whale pods or other large marine mammal variants near higher-risk locations such as waters near EMZ designated bodies, or areas with suspected SOSUS networks. Stops are only to be made in or around well known global breeding or feeding grounds for said whales, or in friendly port locations.

[b]Order of Battle under the Jurisdiction of NOD MILITANT COMMAND (NMC)[/b]

[img]http://i710.photobucket.com/albums/ww106/mofailla/200px-NodSilverMedal.jpg?t=1284348680[/img]
[/center][center][i]The[/i][i] 'Crux de Valor', the highest Military honor that may be bestowed upon a Nodic Militant[/i]

[b]Nodic Land Combat Assets[/b]
Note: last updated on 10/04/20XX If real time count is required contact NMC Staff
[sub]OOC: 550,000 IC troops available approx. 5600 IC MBTs available approx. Due to newly acquired understanding, the 8 Divisions of Rocket Force/Artillery will not be taken into consideration for IG numbers
Note: Current war has brought IC troops available to 667,450 and MBTs to 6601.[/sub]

[left]The Nodic Militancy, 'The Militancy' or the 'Militant Order of the Executive Ministry Under the Nation of Nod' is primarily responsible for the protection and safeguard of all Nodic citizens at home or abroad, the sanctity of all Nodic state borders, the repulsion of aggressors on land, the retention of contested territory and the sobering defeat of all who would threaten the Brotherhood, its Unity and its imposed Peace. The Militancy protects national interests as per the explicit orders of the Executive Minister and His Ministry. Nodic militants are prepared, willing and able to carry out any orders bestowed upon them, even if unto death.

The Militancy enables the Nation of Nod to engage in large-scale offensive and defensive operations to overthrow enemy oppressors, occupy its key terrain and deliver in-depth strikes with or without support from other Militant Orders at the disposal of the Executive Ministry. In peacetime, the Nation is divvied up into Military Districts, each responsible for a strategic approach into the heart of the Nation of Nod - all able to engage or deploy at a moments notice. Each Military District is Headquartered at the regional key city.
[/left][/center]
The Militant Order maintains its combat abilities through extensive and grueling training and indoctrination programs, a great cultural emphasis on military service, and joint service missions for the purpose of being ready to act in the service of and security of the Nation, and to preserve the Nation of Nod's overriding directive:

'One Vision, One Purpose. Brotherhood, Unity, Peace. Peace through Power.'

The Nodic Militancy is itself a conglomerate of [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=79216&view=findpost&p=2184781"]several branches of service[/url] [sub](OOC: Summary of the Light and Heavy infantry, as well as the Elite Cadre)[/sub]:


[b][i]The Light Infantry:[/i][/b] the most numerous branch of service that constitutes the basis of the ground forces and creates the bulk of most battle formations. Equipped with powerful armaments belieing their designation of 'Light' (Indeed, Nodic nomenclature denotes the Light and Heavy designations when referring to branches of the Militant Order as an indication of overall investment, training and combat prowess), this branch facilitates the destruction of most ground based targets with access to most of the Nodic arsenal. Tasks may include conventional and irregular combat, engineering, technical support, and logistical establishment in CBRN environments. Have access to Light tanks and Infantry Fighting Vehicles, self-propelled artillery, mortars, reconnaissance systems, heavy and man-portable anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft missile systems and accompanying installations. [sub](OOC: Similar to Motorized Rifle troops)[/sub]


[b]The Heavy Infantry: [/b]one of the most venerated of all branches of the Nodic Militant Order, and akin to a heavily indoctrinated Shock Troop Officer Corps, the Heavy Infantry are seen in many ways as the spiritual 'older brothers' of the Light Infantry and represent the main impact force of Nod. They are better armed, protected and trained under conditions many would consider sadistic and overtly cruel, while fully capable of performing the same tasks of the Light Infantry, even leading their more numerous Brethren into battle. Heavy Infantry also serve in a limited capacity as Special Forces and Airborne Units, specializing in attrition warfare. Privy to advanced combat armor, weapons upgrades and add-ons, Heavy combat vehicles, tactical aids and force multiplying systems as well as previously mentioned Light Infantry Provisions.

[b]The Elite Cadre: [/b]answering directly to the Executive Minister and His Ministry, the Elite Cadre serve as a potent Elite Special Forces pool as well as acting as a Sovereign security force during peace time. These Militant scholars, often engrossed in the study Nodic Doctrines feel at home on the front or behind enemy lines. These Highly ranked and equally revered individuals are some of the cruelest and most lethal fighting men Nod has to offer. Acting as morale boosters (via inspiration or down right dread) as well as force multiplying elements in a battle group, this warrior strain has access to the full spectrum of Nodic weaponry and warfighting means. They have full authorization to call in tactical strikes via aviation or ground based missile and artillery batteries.
[b]
Tank Force:[/b] often referred to as the armored fist of the Executive Minister, armored divisions are equipped with a wide variety of armored and high-powered vehicles to roll over the enemy. Intended to be the final solution for the most critical problems arising in conventional and attrition warfare.

[b]Rocket Forces and Artillery:[/b] constitute the highest volume of firepower on the ground and within the Nodic arsenal. Primary means to combat and defeat enemy concentrations with relentless and reliable fire support. Responsible for inflicting 'sheer horror' and the 'sense of hopelessness' upon the enemy. Also acts as a natural counter-battery force to eliminate or suppress hostile fire support. Subsequent roles also include the destruction of enemy air power via zenith missiles and artillery, radio-technical units and tactical air defense against enemy munitions.

[b]Frontal Aviation:[/b] supports the actions and campaigns of even the most stalwart Nodic commanders via close and lingering air support untennable by the AIR MILITANT COMMAND (AMC). Responsible for operating combat and logistical rotary wing aircraft, Frontal Aviation facilitates aerial reconnaissance, the deployment of the airborne and fire support of their actions, electronic warfare and ELINT systems.

[b]Nodic Security Forces: [/b]during peace and wartime, the NSF provides domestic security excelling that of conventional Civilian Law Enforcement Officers. Subject to both the Ministries of Internal and Military Affairs, these lads be sworn to uphold Nodic law, via acts of counter-terrorism, the immediate dissolution of any and all political and social dissidence and the maintenance of a robust and comprehensive ELINT, COMINT, HUMINT network often employing both conventional and clandestine methods.

[size="5"][color="#c0c0c0"]Major Increases in Defense Expenditures Following the Third East African War Announced

[size="2"][color="#000000"]As expected, the Executive Ministry has begun enacting massive increases in expenditures in the wake of the Empire of the Twelve Gods' invasion of Nodic Sudanese holdings to the North. Trusted sources have placed spending to grow at a remarkable 35% increase over last year's allocation - the largest increase since the Nodic Great Divide*. A portion of this funding will be used to pay for a heavier Nodic Militancy presence on all borders with the Empire, Sudan, Eritrea, the Horn of Africa, and the Aphrike protectorate. Most will underwrite the understandable increase to the West, with rumors and speculation naming [/color][/size][/color][/size]the NoN-UMS DMZ Region 1: Darfur[size="5"][color="#c0c0c0"][size="2"][color="#000000"] as a future prospect for annexation following extensive Brotherhood humanitarian, support, and political pressure in the Jurisdiction Zone.

Even larger amounts are being devoted to the transformation of, or as other NMC staff have put it, the 'Evolution' of the Nodic Military and Industrial capacity in the coming days, weeks and years. The Nodic Militancy and all three of its conventional branches, the AIR MILITANT COMMAND (AMC), NOD MILITANT COMMAND (NMC) and NAVAL MILITANT COMMAND (NMC) have been pledged support from the Executive Ministry to replace or substantially upgrade existing weapons systems with newer, super-sophisticated ones, whilst still retaining the signature rugged, hard hitting and long lasting reputation Nodic hardware has acquired. Furthermore, it was announced that additional injections of funds have been allotted to expedite on going research and development of entirely different systems althogether. This initiative, arguably a highly predictable one given the Nation of Nod's historical stance on self-defense and regulation, ignoring the most recent conflagration of hostilities, has brought a great joy and desire for excellence within the indigenous arms manufacturers' MILitary Aviation Complex (MILAC), Nod Military Industries (NMI) and National Defense Industries Incorporated (NDII) rosters and has sparked a wide-ranging debate over the merits of various technologies and weapons systems currently within the Nodic arsenal.

Ministry sponsored communiques cleared for public dissemination speak of the need to,

[i] "abandon longstanding strategic 'assumptions' currently harboured within the Omega Imperium Doctrine - a Doctrine that previously stressed the need for an impregnable defense and a significantly constrained 'own-borders' approach to foreign relations and deployments. The Nation of Nod has been shown that it cannot simply restrain its own national and geopolitical future for the sake of keeping to its own borders for safety and security as our enemies will come to attack us, regardless of our peaceful intentions. The time has come for us to develop the means to project our own will abroad. At the very minimum, the Peacehearts have made it abundantly clear that we can no longer stand idle and await for the end to arrive."

[/i]Much emphasis has been placed on the development of advanced technologies to increase Nodic prowess on future battlefields. Closer insight into the behavior of the Executive Ministry, however, has revealed that this push is more than just a mere desire to utilize new technologies that will be utilized to prepare for the unknown. Alluding to this, Nodic officials have declared that the 'threat-based strategy' of seeking to organize Militant forces to counter specific military threats by clearly identifiable enemies to be strategically incorrect, instead pursuing 'the capacity to defeat any conceivable type of attack mounted by any imaginary adversary at any point in time and from any location from now to the future'.

Existing countermeasures, threat detection, force multiplication and force deployment systems would be specifically targetted by this initiative. Nod would require significant air and sea lift to move troops and equipment to any point within the Nodic Homeland and its holdings quickly, along with sophisticated surveillance devices to locate enemy forces day or night, and advanced munitions and force projection vectors equipped with formidable defensive measures to destroy them with little to no risk.
[i]
"Our forces must retain a further vigiliance in the face of overwhelming adversity. We must be strong, steady and able to withstand any new weapon or device the enemy may seek to destroy us with while also engaging current enemy systems and tactics. We must be able to extend our might unquestioned over the long expanses of our holdings. We must be able to identify targets by a variety of means and be able to destroy them almost instantly, for our enemies' numbers are endless, while ours are not."

[/i]This recent statement from the Supreme Commander of the Nodic Militancy, General Michaelson, whose jurisdiction encompasses all three branches of Militant service save the STRATEGIC COMMAND AGENY (SCA), would announce a new stratagem. Nodic warriors are to retain a formidable survivability against current and future munitions, and weapons systems as well as a lethal potency against any defenses or countermeasures an enemy would deploy. Such a capability, if attained, would enable Nodic forces to simply overwhelm less capable adversaries with comparably less numbers, or remain toe-to-toe with the 'best' the worlds militaries would have to offer.

The Third East African war, and the subsequent mobilization of Nodic might for the ousting of Imperial forces changed the Nodic mindset in a number of ways. First of all, it gave advocates of this radical change leverage to enact their provisions sooner and on much larger scales than envisioned. Tales of highly mobile, yet heavily armed Elite Cadre and Heavy Infantry debarking their Liberator Assault Crafts prepared to engage invaders with attrition and guerrilla action while being utilized for target designation by Nodic aviation, only to see enemy forces retreating earned these movers and shakers enormous prestige in Addis Ababa. Secondly, those who still clung to the Omega Imperium Doctrine in whole or in part, those who advocated for an isolationist and defensive approach to all things military and international, who placed force projection on the 'back burner' of Nodic hot topics, were 'persuaded' to see the light.

[/b][color="#000000"][b]The Advanced Integrated Infrared Detection Unit - the IIDU (Type-II Strained Layer Superlattice combined HgCdTe Infrared Detector)

[/b][/color][center][color="#000000"][b][img]http://i710.photobucket.com/albums/ww106/mofailla/iidu.jpg?t=1291406805[/img][/b][/color]
[/center][color="#000000"][b]
[/b]Admittedly the inadvertent by product of the Executive Ministry's desire for space travel in the near future, MILAC has unveiled its newest contribution to the Executive Ministry's new order. The IIDU is a fundamental upgrade to and replacement of the standing EOSS (Electro-Optical Sensor Suite) utilized by all Nodic combat aviation assets. An advanced passive electro-optical and infrared sensor package initially developed for space travel, the IIDU is based on newly developed infrared detection material working in conjunction with existing media. The IIDU utilizes a Type-II strained layer superlattice, which is experimentally superior to current infrared sensor materials such as HgCdTe, Quantum Well infrared photodetectors and SiAs. The Superlattice-based detection unit is capable of detecting enemy enemy airframe skin friction- which is an inherent trait all aircraft find unavoidable- by combining the advantages of legacy HgCdTe and quantum photodectors. The material is capable of being 'tuned' for strong absorption throughout the short-, mid-, long- and very long wavelengths. Owning a specifically engineered electronic band structure to suppress Auger recombination noise and reduce tunneling current, both sources of electro-optical imprecision and error the device uses this super lattice material in an advanced multi-color, low-defect-density, large-format focal plane array with high uniformity and high operability.
[sub]
OOC: SLS Infrared detectors, a new and upstart technology designed to upstart existing HgCdTe detectors apparently show promise with rapid progression that has met or slightly exceeded HgCdTe standards. Its status as being totally superior rests on ongoing tests, yet is pretty much understood to be superior once they prove it from what [url="http://lib.semi.ac.cn:8080/tsh/dzzy/wsqk/SPIE/vol6542/65420B.pdf"]i've gathered.[/url]

[/sub][b]



Low Cost Advanced Precision Direct-Attack Guided Rocket System (L-CAP DAGR System)

[/b]News of other developments conspicuously coinciding with the Executive Ministry's declaration have also been declared by Nod Military Industries, the leading supplier of Munitions, weapons and other military goods within the Nation of Nod. Advances in Nodic miniaturization, the 80mm DAGR is a replacement for the long standing Spiker 90mm Unguided Rocket system utilized by the the AMC for both rotary and fixed-wing applications, as well as the NMC where it is utilized as an option for the Devastator Super-Heavy Tank's 'Asylum' Ordinance Projector secondary armament system. By minimizing the overall diameter of the weapon, the DAGR boasts a ~20% increase in combat loadings compared to the 90mm spiker.

The DAGR is a smaller, low cost derivative of the Spiker, whilst retaining the advantages the large rocket enjoyed, finally coupling this with the ability to be guided to targets via differing means based on the situation at hand. Unlike the 'jack-of-all-trades' Spiker, the DAGR is outfitted to a number of differing uses whilst retaining a similar set up to the Spiker. The rocket system is provided a solid fuel motor with an operating time of 0.7 s. The low cost per individual unit is designed to expedite the acquisition and resupply of all Nodic Frontal Aviation and ground forces that utilized the older Spiker and is attained via progressive methods for mass-body shaping during construction, utilization of ready made rolled aluminum, and engineering solutions designed to minimize manufacturing labor consumption and time.

[size="5"][color="#808080"]New Developments in Nodic Combat Aviation[/color][/size]


[b][color="#000000"]The Sublimator SIR-74[/color]AC and SIR-74AC-ER[/b]

The Sublimator line of Air-to-air missiles has served the Nodic Militancy's Air Militant Command (AMC) as its primary means to project air power over friendly and contested skies. It was apparent that the SIR-73 and SARAH-37 were a match made in heaven- the [b]S[/b]hort-range [b]I[/b]nfra[b]R[/b]ed-guided Model 73 weapon was an extremely maneuverable missile capable of out turning even the most well prepared pilots and their steeds in prohibitively close quarters, while the [b]S[/b]emi-[b]A[/b]ctive [b]R[/b]adar/[b]A[/b]ctive [b]H[/b]oming Model 37 was capable of extreme range, phenomenal speed (+Mach 6) and an increased survivability to its users by keeping operators away from the effective ranges of an enemy's weapons, allowing Nodic pilots to deliver mid course target acquisition updates and finally transfer to a 'fire and forget' terminal active mode.

Yet this 'one-or-the-other' approach was beginning to be cost prohibitive- while the SARAH-37 was theoretically capable of engaging enemies at any range within its operational radius - Nodic pilots soon found that launching the Model 37 at any target that was not an Air Superiority fighter, AWACS or C4ISTAR target was an overkill. At the same time, pilots who had expended their SARAH's were forced to engage at close range, where one would have to place themselves at great risk to close the distance in order to fire their SIR-73s. Even then, the SIR was terribly pigeon-holed as an infrared spectrum weapon.

It was decided that the SIR-73 would be given an overhaul- its all aspect homing and high offset boresight capabilities would be enhanced with immediate implementation of the IIDU sensory upgrade, as well as a miniaturized terminal active seeker derivative from the SARAH-37, a multi-function doppler-monopulse active radar seeker.
The radar features two modes of operation, over short distances, the missile will launch in an active "fire and forget" mode. Over longer distances the missile is controlled by an inertial auto pilot with occasional encoded data link updates from the launch aircraft's radar on changes in spatial position or G of the target. As the missile comes within 20 km (12.42 mi) of its target, the missile switches to its active radar mode. The host radar system maintains computed target information in case the target breaks the missile's lock-on. If the active radar seeker is jammed, it switches automatically to a passive mode and homes on the source of jamming or relegates target acquisition and tracking to the IIDU.

[center][img]http://www.enemyforces.net/missiles/r_77.jpg[/img]
[/center]
Dubbed the [u][b]S[/b]hort-range [b]I[/b]nfra[b]R[/b]ed-guided Model 74 [b]A[/b]dvanced [b]C[/b]apability missile system[/u], the SIR-74AC would employ a dual sensory package of primary all aspect/high offset boresight (+ or - 80 degrees) infrared detection and active radar homing capability. Should the SIR-74AC enter an environment of high infrared countermeasures deployment, signal jamming, or the operator otherwise sees fit, the SIR would be able to switch automatically to a tertiary focal plane electro-optical detection system in a IRRCCM (Infra-Red/Radar Counter-Counter-Measures) role.

The IIDU would be utilized to add airframe skin friction to the SIR's detection capability in a secondary role. Its primary mission, however, was enabling the SIR to boast an advanced active Electro-optical detection system should the need arise. The SIR-74AC would be a formidable tool for a Nodic pilot, since this combinatory seeking system granted the operator a LOAL (Lock-On After Launch) capability in a wide variety of combat environments against foes of differing caliber. A Nodic pilot would be able to launch the SIR, and immediately take evasive actions if need be by relying on the dual mode active seeker to destroy the target on its own.

Subtle changes to the SIR-73's airframe were also present. A larger 200 mm diameter enabled a reinforced nose cone to allow the SIR-74AC to undergo +90G violent maneuvers while still remaining operational. The aerodynamics are novel, combining vestigial cruciform wings with tail control surfaces of a lattice configuration. Each surface consists of a metal frame containing a blade-like grid assembly which combines a greater control area, and thus lifting force, with reduced weight and size. These surfaces require less powerful actuators than conventional fins, and have a lower RCS. The flow separation which occurs at high angles of attack enhances its turning ability, giving the missile a maximum turn rate of up to 150º per second. More propellant ensured maximum kinetic energy was present for longer during flight, increasing the weapons 'no escape zone' considerably.





And even that was not enough. Addressing the needs outlined above - mainly a cheaper, high performance alternative to the SARAH-37 serving in an intermediate role as a medium ranged and all purpose weapon, NMI developed the SIR-74AC-ER, or [u][b]S[/b]hort-range [b]I[/b]nfra[b]R[/b]ed-guided Model 74 [b]A[/b]dvanced [b]C[/b]apability- [b]E[/b]xtended [b]R[/b]ange missile system[/u]. The ACER simply consisted of a standard pattern SIR-74AC mated to a secondary booster stage, a solid-fuel ramjet that would propel the SIR from its staging platform at a speed of mach 4.5 at a quick burn setting for approximately 185 kilometers in what is deemed by MILAC and NMI to be the midcourse launch boost stage.

[center][img]http://www.ausairpower.net/Boosted-Archer-Profile-2008-1.png[/img]
[/center]
During this stage, an onboard inertial guidance system coupled with a redundant data uplink capable of receiving fire control instructions from the initial launch platform, friendly aircraft in the vicinity or even air defense radar batteries guides the weapon until the midcourse vehicle jettison stage. At this crucial moment, typically when the booster has lost a majority of its maneuver energy or when otherwise signaled, the primary SIR-74AC is released as either an active infrared seeking weapon, or an active radar missile, both modes capable of automatically switching to an electro-optical detection and tracking system. Such a long ranged infrared weapon (~40km of the SIR-74AC summed with the 185km max operational range of the SIR-74ER booster) allows the two stage missile system to engage hot targets like incoming BVR Air-to-Air missiles by out maneuvering their relatively sluggish frames, enemy aviation such as helicopters, and fixed wing aircraft from a safer distance, and even subsonic guided munitions.

We, [u][b]the Undersigned[/b][/u] are pleasantly surprised that the venerable armed forces of the Kingdom of Cochin have found merit in our humble indigenous arms production of the Sublimator SIR-74AC-ER. While we admit that this project was a 'private' venture of the Nation of Nod in updating its current frontal aviation armaments assets, we have been given explicit permission by the Executive Ministry's Foreign Affairs detachment to immediately deliver a number of SIR-74ACs, the Midcourse delivery systems and a few fully implemented SIR-74AC-ER combinatory systems, with no cost, to your armed forces.

However, we have been instructed to send, in addition to the SIR-74AC-ER packages a formal request to your Quarter Master Command - a request for your technicians and engineering staff to work, in a joint venture with the Undersigned, to update the existing Nodic [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-37_%28missile%29"]SARAH-37[/url] long ranged air to air missile system and possibly work on future projects. If you accept this request, an additional flight carrying a number of fully completed SARAH-37s, a set of separate seekers and propulsion systems will be sent.

The Nation of Nod has a... unique Geopolitical niche in Africa. As such, the Executive Ministry has guided us to seek research and development partners from sources outside of the continent, your nation being a prime prospect due to the limited amounts of foreign interactions between us. They feel that a shared desire for technological advancements, as well as a firm passion for regional security in our respective spheres of influence would serve as common grounds from which much can be gained. Recognize that we are asking for 'unofficial' civilian technical assistance at the moment, so as to ensure the security of both participants.

We thank you for this opportunity.

While we admit that this project was a 'private' venture of the Nation of Nod in updating its current frontal aviation armaments assets, we have been given explicit permission by the Executive Ministry's Foreign Affairs detachment to immediately deliver a number of SIR-74ACs, the Midcourse delivery systems and a few fully implemented SIR-74AC-ER combinatory systems, with no cost, to your armed forces.

However, we have been instructed to send, in addition to the SIR-74AC-ER packages a formal request to Vanguard Industries- a request for your technicians and engineering staff to work, in a joint venture with the Undersigned, to update the existing Nodic SARAH-37 long ranged air to air missile system and possibly work on future projects. If you accept this request, an additional flight carrying a number of fully completed SARAH-37s, a set of separate seekers and propulsion systems will be sent.

The Nation of Nod has a... unique Geopolitical niche in Africa. As such, the Executive Ministry has guided us to seek research and development partners from sources outside of the continent, your nation being a prime prospect due to the limited amounts of foreign interactions between us. They feel that a shared desire for technological advancements, as well as a firm passion for regional security in our respective spheres of influence would serve as common grounds from which much can be gained. Recognize that we are asking for 'unofficial' civilian technical assistance at the moment, so as to ensure the security of both participants.

We thank you for this opportunity.

"Greetings.

We thank you for the swift answer to our previous message, and the impending delivery of the weapons systems requested. Additional thanks for the free delivery.

Regarding the request to [i]Vanguard Industries[/i], I have conferred with the CEO Bandaranaike as well as a few other Executives, and they have agreed to aiding you in research and development of the upgrades for the SARAH-37 system.
Sri Lanka is quite aware of Nod's unique position in Africa, and I believe that I speak for my government if I say that Sri Lanka would be delighted to cooperate further with Nod through civilian contractors - such as Vanguard, Sci5 or Code2.

Thank you for your time."

Regards,
[b]Lt. Col. (Ret.) Gotabhaya Rajapaksa[/b]
[i]Director Executive
Sri Lanka Armed Forces[/i]
