To: AUP Members From: King Mandella Good day to you all. I am the leader of the new nation Atlantis in Africa. I have heard about this union, and I hope that you would be willing to admit my nation into the African Unity Pact OOC: Sorry for the post, but I had no idea where else I should put it.

OK, Isaac, your F/A-37 Talons and BrahMos missiles both came from the Solar Kingdom. Since the Solar Kingdom fell, there has been no one to keep maintain those two. You need to have someone with the right amount of tech to help maintain them. Like I said, the Solar Kingdom cannot anymore, since it does not exist, so you cannot use either F/A-37 Talons or BrahMos missiles anymore.

[quote name='Isaac MatthewII' timestamp='1328970799' post='2918336'] [u][b]Classified:[/b][/u] Since there is no communication whatsoever a messenger with an armoured guard went on to the border with an armoured guard and looked for the nearest Biscotti troop emplacement within shouting distance, he began to shout the following letter to the Biscotti troops. He began yelling "A message to the Biscotti government from the Time Lord Council in Citadel. Gallifrey currently has King Simon under political asylum in our borders, we will allow for a trial in Gallifrey but as far as political asylum goes he is not leaving Gallifrey unless found guilty. This is within Gallifreyan law and even the Lord President can not change it unless he is found guilty. We await a response. This message is considered classified between Gallifrey and Biscotti." He folded his paper and awaited response. The fact that he was yelling over the border seemed quite immature of whoever cut the phone line, but it was his job and he would never complain. OOC:I guess you have to RP seeing this as well or my guy is shouting at a rock formation that looks like a base [/quote] Approved

The flag might look similar, but it is slightly different.

In the helmet, there's a solar-powered fresh-air system and a drinking tube attached to a canteen in the small of the back. A laser pointer mounted in the middle of the forehead is ready to point to snipers, while LED lights frame the face. The whole suit is made from high-impact plastic lined with ceramic bullet protection over ballistic foam. This armoe can stave off bullets, explosives, knives, and clubs. The armor protects everything on the body except for fingertips, and is lightly armored on all major joints. There is a satellite up link to the suit.

As a DUAL ROLED aircraft, it is capable of delivering a vast array of air-to-air and air-to-ground munitions. It's secondary role as an air-to-ground system makes the aircraft a rapidly deployable delivery platform, from which munitions can be used for AIR INTERDICTION, TACTICAL ground attack and CLOSE AIR SUPPORT. However, utilizing both a tailless all-aspect broadband stealth airframe, an IR-Shielded thrust-vectoring engine, a hybrid control/close-coupled canard system and a vast array of technologies and weapons shared with the MILAC F-23 BLACK WIDOW, this plane also serves as a potent threat to any enemy air assets as a light duty fighter aircraft. 2.The "BROWN WIDOW" is aptly named after the spider species (following in the tradition of MILAC naming conventions), which is typically a somewhat smaller spider whose venom is twice as potent as the infamous black widow, but is normally confined to the area around the bite. This fits the aircraft well, as it carries a larger assortment of weapons, but it's smaller design leaves less room for fuel and hence limiting it's operational range to closer assignments (leaving longer range air-dominance roles to the F-23 BLACK WIDOW and priority interdiction sorties to the A-1 KRIEG). 3. Additionally, the aircraft is designed to be cheap and easier to fix by utilizing many of the same systems and technologies present within it's cousin, the F-23 BLACK WIDOW. This decision drastically reduces the cost of both planes by means of mass production of parts and results in a cheaper long-term maintenance plan for both aircraft. This serves as a deviation from the norm of contemporary MILAC built aircraft - the BROWN WIDOW is the first aircraft designed from conceptual stages to be primarily a full capability export aircraft, with production rights solely given to allied states. 4. THIS AIRCRAFT IS DESIGNED TO IMPLEMENT THE STANAG AND FULL INTEGRATION OF AFRICAN UNITY PACT COMBINED FORCES COMMAND (COMFOR) INTO A COHESIVE PAN-AFRICAN MILTARY FORCE. IT IS A PRIMARY MULTI-ROLE FIGHTER WITH EMPHASIS ON USAGE IN NORTH AND EAST MILITARY AIR OFFENSIVE ROLES AND A DEFENSIVE ROLE ACROSS THE AFRICAN CONTINENT. COCKPIT 1. The Cockpit of the MILAC F/A-0 features a roomy "glass-cockpit" design. Commands can be entered manually or via an integrated "user dependent" Adacel DVI (Direct Voice Input) system which accepts commands from the pilot verbally. The plane also contains a full-panel-width "cockpit panoramic display" to display warnings, RADAR systems, sensor-fuzed identification, targeting and tracking information and other relevant stimuli. The on-board computer can accesses an INTERNAL REFERENCE SYSTEM (IRS), which provides color and shape coordinated information on an enemy aircraft type and provides CURRENT battlefield knowledge of the maximum enemy RADAR detection range (yellow line) and missile range (red line). Overlapping enemy RADAR and missile regions are combined to avoid user clutter and the pilot is informed via a HELMET MOUNTED DISPLAY SYSTEM (HDMS) when they have fallen into either. Pilots can also use touch screen commands to share information with other pilots, by clicking on particular targets, or setting way-points at their command allowing for a fluid flow of information from one pilot to the group during a conversation (priority being given to the group leader). 2. All planes will utilize a HELMET MOUNTED DISPLAY SYSTEM (HMDS) to display enemy aircraft with missile systems cued to lock on by simply looking in the direction of the desired target if desired via combination of HIGH OFF-BORESIGHT weapons (HOBS). Alternative methods that can be sent to the FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM (FCS) including "manual" or "automatic" target selection. The aircraft contains a HEADS UP DISPLAY (HUD) system as a back up, relying primarily on the HMDS to convey information to the pilot. 3. All aircraft are equipped with a MARTIN-BAKER US16E ejection seat. Furthermore, control of the aircraft utilizes a right hand stick controller and a left throttle control. FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM (FCS) XN7 AND NETWORKING 1. The FCS XN7 fire control system is designed to maximize the effectiveness of the BROWN WIDOW. The aircraft is designed to acquire and track up to fifty targets air, land and sea on the COCKPIT DISPLAY PANEL and HMDS, and fire up to ten weapons simultaneously. Target acquisition is performed utilizing a combination of continuous radio-frequency and Infra-red tracking systems via SAIRST. Autonomous tracking for standoff weapons and further enemy information can be acquired via an onboard ELECTRO-OPTICAL TRACKING SYSTEM (EOTS) (OOC: Stealthy version of this) and IIDU based sensors. In combination, this array of sensors integrates with the FCS to provide full HIGH OFF-BORESIGHT weapon (HOBS) capabilities to all weapons - making aircraft orientation unimportant. The combined might of this multi-spectrum sensory information is realized as a sensor-fused advancement of the contemporary Target Acquisition System Software (TASS) utilized in the BLACK WIDOW, a marked improvement incorporating both legacy Nodic as well as modern Aeon advancements into a single cohesive package. 2. These systems are designed to work with a local "Group AEWACs", local group networks or space based networks via a MULTIFUNCTION ADVANCED DATA LINK (MADL), which transmits data between the planes and various military networks without compromising stealth features of the plane. The application of a satellite based WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN), which can transmit data at 548 megabits per second and receive at gigabit speeds, allows for pilots to have full battlefield combat situational awareness and at the same time allows them to focus in on a smaller region to handle threats or objectives closer to home. The system provides pilots the full range of sensory information acquired by other secured network aircraft, AEWACs, EAE DETECTION EARLY WARNING (DEW) Long and Short Range RADARs along with ground support from EAE Air Support mobile RADARs and IR DETECTION STATIONS, SPECTATOR CLASS MILITARY SATELLITES and other detection networks validated by the AMC. When combined with BEYOND VISUAL RANGE missiles, the FCS and Networking system allows the pilots to even target and fire on enemies outside of their current sensor range, using the other systems information as the targeting system to acquire a "lock". 3. Networking is also a valuable system here as it can automatically assign targets to each individual missile according to priority, and the weapon best designed for the given target via a INTERNAL REFERENCE SYSTEM (IRS) which is continuously updated during combat operations via the network grid so pilots can have the best understanding possible of the enemy. This allows the group to utilize it's munitions to their fullest potential by rapidly assigning each weapon a unique target and allowing them an instant opportunity to fire or disregard each target at their discretion. With proper authorization, the system also has an auto-fire command allowing weapons to be fired as soon as the system has a lock-on on a non-friendly IDENTIFICATION FRIEND OR FOE (IFF) signature that has been designated as that systems target. It also allows pilots to enter the combat situation with an optimal understanding of the enemy as interactions occur on the battlefield. 5. The FCS system will also be able to make optimum use of new LOCK-ON AFTER LAUNCH (LOAL) capable missiles, allowing the user to fire the missile at the general vicinity of the target and then program the target into the missile after it is already in flight (also critical for internal bay launched missiles), or even allowing said missile to acquire a lock on its own via active seeking or networked tracking information from allied platforms. After launch, programming capabilities also allow for "nape of the earth" near-surface combat attack orientations. These allow the aircraft to fire upon enemy forces near the ground while using terrain as an active cover. On board navigation systems will soon also allow the programming of a BEYOND VISUAL RANGE (BVR) missile's flight trajectory so that it acts as a temporary "cruise-mode" before rising up to strike at it's opponents in the distance. ON-BOARD NAVIGATION SYSTEM 1. The on-board navigation system utilizes a RING LASER GYROSCOPIC INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM combined with on-board GPS positioning (developed from the lessons learned from MILAC's Deathstalker). On-board systems determine the aircraft's location in space on Earth, allowing the pilot to know their position at all times relative to their environment. The aircraft also has an AUTOMATIC GROUND-COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (Auto GCAS). This system allows the aircraft to safely navigate along the "nape of the earth", utilizing terrain features to reduce the probability of detection by hostile forces and allowing for deep penetration into enemy territory. ARMARMENT 1. The smaller size of the Brown Widow, requires a significantly reduced internal weapons bay, providing room for up to six weapons mounts opposed to eight, as found on the F-23 Black Widow. It compensates for this lack of fire-power with a larger assortment of weapons and cheaper cost. Gun: 1 x 30mm Lancer auto-cannon, 540 CTA rounds Missiles: Aim 9x Sidewinder, SIR-73, SIR-74AC and SIR-74AC-ER, JAGM Missile, AGM-84 Harpoon, AGM-88E AARGM, AGM-154 JSOW, MBDA Meteor, SARAH-37 Missile, ADM-160A MALD, SEAD-MA and SEAD-MA-EM, 'Punisher' Tactical Assault Missile(TAM) Bombs: CBU-100 Cluster Bombs, JDAM Series, Mark 82, 83 and 84 GPBs, Paveway Series Bombs, Small Diameter Bombs All craft are additionally armed with chaff and flares for aircraft defense. More advanced defensive systems are as follows: 2 x Tanzanian Arms AN/AAQ-24 directional infrared countermeasure (DIRCM) system AN/AAR-54 missile warning system Small Laser Targeting Assembly (SLTA) 4 x Dorsal Bay mounting TA/MILAC 'mini-Nulka' cold launched Active Radar Expendable Decoy (ARED) 4 x ALE-50 Towed Decoy System NEXT GENERATION JAMMING AND CYBERATTACK 1. The Brown Widow mounts a NEXT GENERATION JAMMER (NGT) system, designed to escort stealthy and non-stealthy aircraft to the edge of an enemy threat zone, jamming radars used by the enemy to launch munitions at allied targets. The NGT is designed to open the envelope of safety given to allied units in order to successfully deploy stand-off attack munitions, escape a projected kill zone, or mount concerted close-in attacks to destroy high priority targets. The AESA based NGJ system is designed to exploit electronic warfare, operating across a broad swath of the electromagnetic spectrum. This electronic surveillance and attack system utilizes the very skin of the Black Widow as a giant AESA array, breaking it up into four 'quadrants', elements that are steerable, directable and assignable in frequency. Each quadrant is tasked for use in differing functions, as well as for pointing at differing targets. In addition, this quadrant based system can be used in its totality to provide a very high power capability, producing nearly three times the power in a much smaller package. 2. The NGT is capable of directing its energy in a concerted attack against sensitive enemy electronics. In addition, it is capable of inserting malicious information into enemy data streams, allowing for suppression of enemy intelligence gathering assets or their outright disablement. RADAR, EWS AND SECURITY 1. The Brown Widow Utilizes a MILAC/APG-77 ACTIVE ELECTRONICALLY SCANNED ARRAY (AESA) RADAR system. The RADAR system is controlled by via two TENSOR COMMON INTEGRATED PROCESSORS (CIP)s, which can process 10.5 billion instructions per second and have 300 MB of memory. This information is processed further by the on-board FCS XN7 computer system which provides the information in an easy to understand, informative display in the cockpit. The RADAR system has an expected range of approximately 200-250 km, with up to a 400 km range when utilizing a narrow beam search pattern. Additionally the aircraft has 6 EO/IR-sensors, and a Ultra-Violet MISSILE APPROACH EARLY WARNING SYSTEM (MAWS) both of which combine to be as a missile warning system with continuous coverage on all angles of the aircraft. The system is integrated with the FCS XN7 system and an AN/ASQ-239 (Barracuda) ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEM (EWS). Additionally, the aircraft has seperate ECM and CECM pods smoothly integrated into the wing-tips for additional support of the NGJ system. Internal electronics are protected by concentrated Electro-magnetic shielding to lessen the effects of concerted EM attacks. 2. In addition to the EWS used to protect the aircraft from electromagnetic attacks, an extensive on-board security suite is installed to avoid interference with the network via "hacking". All MILAC networks run on a SECURE ISOLATED NETWORK (SIN). The system utilizes FULL 1024 BIT ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD (AES) technology to encode all relevant information between parties, in conjunction with an indigenously developed Reduced Instruction Set driving hardware. In addition to these encryption technologies, all networks will operate in "stealth mode", acting as though the network didn't exist to any party outside of those programmed into the main system. No party can acquire /ROOT ACCESS to the software while the aircraft is operating, nor while the wireless network system is active. Data transmissions are monitored by MILAC personnel to observe that no erroneous information is being fed to the system by an errant enemy source. Furthermore, aircraft /ROOT ACCESS requires a high level manual password validation that would allow the user more then simple "use" of the software and transmitting authorized data forms (passing and receiving information from various programs). If such authorization cannot be acquired within five tries, the system invokes an F-DISK and destroys the hard-drive, destroying all internal code and the ability of the unit to interact via networking. Access to this screen requires it's own separate pass code to avoid accidental or sabotage based attacks, this has an unlimited number of tries, but would be impossible to enter without a proper code (only valid for the hour of it's entry). 3. In the event that a system within the network is considered compromised, the system can be cut off manually from a central network from the inside given the proper authorization codes. The system will not take effect on aircraft however, until it has safely landed on the ground. The on-board electronics, such as the hard-drive, cannot be removed from the system without proper coded authorization (similar to the /ROOT authorization protection), such systems are in place to prevent the physical removal of critical pieces of hardware and subsequent analysis by an external separately built device. All of this works to create an extremely secure defense around the working network, to prevent unwanted access by enemy forces. AIRCRAFT DESIGN AND LOW OBSERVABILITY CHARACTERISTICS 1. The F/A-0 utilizes a LOW OBSERVABLE TECHNOLOGY throughout the design of the aircraft to minimize it's RADAR cross section, IR signature, visual image and sensor systems. VEHICLE SHAPE attributes reflect RADAR off the aircraft at large angles, reducing returns and an S-Shaped air intake reduces the returns from the turbo-fans, while a thin layer of conducting Indium-Tin-Oxide, reduces the RCS of the cockpit. The hybrid control/close-coupled canard system is highly swept, with software control tailored to automatically manage and reduce the increased RCS they threaten the airframe with. The tailless design of the Widow also contributes to an all aspect RCS. 2.IR emissions from the engine are reduced by avoiding a circular tailpipe, such as the slit tail-pipe design found on the F-23 Black Widow and F-22 Raptor. This engine design also finds it's way onto the Brown Widow, which helps to reduce the aircraft's vulnerability to IR detection stations and heat-seeking missiles. The advent of optical systems also requires further stealth characteristics, which is why aircraft coloring scheme is designed to prevent shadows and blend into it's environment ((OOC: via the same techniques used on the Bird of Prey demonstrator)). 3. However, for the sake of protecting our critical resources, Air Militant Command often recommends that one or even two BLACK WIDOW ace pilots accompany each squadron, providing additional cover from an off-formation vector. Ever vigilant but not directly visible, these aircraft serve several purposes. They provide dedicated air-combat focused specialists on the field, the Black Widows can act as "mini-AEWACS", and they also provide increased endurance on the battlefield in intense air-combat situations because of their larger fuel capacity. 4. The largest radar reflector on the frontal aspect of a fighter is the compressor turbine. In order to compensate for this source of detection, there is a perceived misalignment of the turbine in relation to air intakes. This prevents radar waves from directly reaching the compressor. The result is a very small frontal RCS due to the curvature of the airducts of the turbine. 5. Exhaust from the single power plant flows through a winding path within the airframe of the F/A-0. Along this path, the troughs are lined with heat ablating materials which in turn feeds the heat into the main combustion cavity. The exhaust is shielded from infrared missile detection from below. 6. The majority of the BLACK WIDOW's airframe is built with composite materials opposed to conventional metallics. While this does not aid in the ease of production, it was determined that unless catastrophic damage has been incurred by an airframe, export clients would not necessarily need to deal with such concerns. Furthermore, 3D-Manufacturing technology would serve to consolidate all construction woes into a single, easier to manage package, allaying cost and intricacy concerns somewhat. 7. Low wing aspect ratio is used to optimize supercruise performance. The tailless aspect of the Widow lends itself not only to a reduced RCS, but also reduced mechanical complexity and greater agility due to inherent instability. Longitudinal control is facilitated by the hybrid canards at a zero angle of attack. At high angles of attack the canard surface directs airflow downwards over the wing, reducing turbulence and drag while increasing lift in both supercruise and low speed flight.

Each of these paths, to and from the target, is subject to the inverse square law of propagation. That means that a radar's received energy drops with the fourth power of distance, which is why radar systems require high powers, often in the megawatt range, to be effective at long range.[1] The radar signal being sent out is a simple radio signal, and can be received with a simple radio receiver. It is common to use such a receiver in the targets, normally aircraft, to detect radar broadcasts. Unlike the radar unit, which must send the pulse out and then receive its reflection, the target's receiver does not need the reflection and thus the signal drops off only as the square of distance. This means that the receiver is always at an advantage over the radar in terms of range - it will always be able to detect the signal long before the radar can see the target's echo. Since the position of the radar is extremely useful information in an attack on that platform, this means that radars generally must be turned off for lengthy periods if they are subject to attack; this is common on ships, for instance. Turning that received signal into a useful display is the purpose of the "radar warning receiver" (RWR). Unlike the radar, which knows which direction it is sending its signal, the receiver simply gets a pulse of energy and has to interpret it. Since the radio spectrum is filled with noise, the receiver's signal is integrated over a short period of time, making periodic sources like a radar add up and stand out over the random background. Typically RWRs store the detected pulses for a short period of time, and compare their broadcast frequency and pulse repetition frequency against a database of known radars. The rough direction can be calculated using a rotating antenna, or similar passive array, and combined with symbology indicating the likely purpose of the radar - airborne early warning, surface to air missile, etc. This technique is much less useful against AESA radars. Since the AESA can change its frequency with every pulse, and generally does so using a pseudo-random sequence, integrating over time does not help pull the signal out of the background noise. Nor does the AESA have any sort of fixed pulse repetition frequency, which can also be varied and thus hide any periodic brightening across the entire spectrum. Traditional RWRs are essentially useless against AESA radars. [edit]High jamming resistance Jamming is likewise much more difficult against an AESA. Traditionally, jammers have operated by determining the operating frequency of the radar and then broadcasting a signal on it to confuse the receiver as to which is the "real" pulse and which is the jammer's. This technique works as long as the radar system cannot easily change its operating frequency. When the transmitters were based on klystron tubes this was generally true, and radars, especially airborne ones, had only a few frequencies to choose among. A jammer could listen to those possible frequencies and select the one to be used to jam. Since an AESA changes its operating frequency with every pulse, and spreads the frequencies across a wide band even in a single pulse, jammers are much less effective. Although it is possible to send out broadband white noise against all the possible frequencies, this means the amount of energy being sent at any one frequency is much lower, reducing its effectiveness. In fact, AESAs can then be switched to a receive-only mode, and use these powerful jamming signals instead to track its source, something that required a separate receiver in older platforms. AESA radars can be much more difficult to detect, and so much more useful in receiving signals from the targets, that they can broadcast continually and still have a very low chance of being detected. This allows such radar systems to generate far more data than traditional radar systems, which can only receive data periodically, greatly improving overall system effectiveness. [edit]Other advantages Since each element in a AESA is a powerful radio receiver, active arrays have many roles besides traditional radar. One use is to dedicate several of the elements to reception of common radar signals, eliminating the need for a separate radar warning receiver. The same basic concept can be used to provide traditional radio support, and with some elements also broadcasting, form a very high bandwidth data link. The F-35 uses this mechanism to send sensor data between aircraft in order to provide a synthetic picture of higher resolution and range than any one radar could generate. In 2007, tests by Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and L-3 Communications enabled the AESA system of a Raptor to act like a WiFi access point, able to transmit data at 548 megabits per second and receive at gigabit speed; this is far faster than the Link 16 system used by US and allied aircraft, which transfers data at just over 1 Mbit/s.[2] AESAs are also much more reliable than either a PESA or older designs. Since each module operates independently of the others, single failures have little effect on the operation of the system as a whole. Additionally, the modules individually operate at low powers, perhaps 40 to 60 watts, so the need for a large high-voltage power supply is eliminated. Replacing a mechanically scanned array with a fixed AESA mount (such as on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet) can help reduce an aircraft's overall radar cross-section (RCS), but some designs (such as the Eurofighter Typhoon) forgo this advantage in order to combine mechanical scanning with electronic scanning and provide a wider angle of total coverage [size="3"][b]OTH[/b][/size] Radar Type FM/CW Bistatic Doppler Antenna Types Horizontal Linear Phased Arrays Maximum CW Radiated Power 1,000,000 W (12 transmitters) Effective Radiated Power 80 dBW (100 MW) Transmit Array Design Canted Dipoles, Vertical Backscreen Transmit Frequency 5-28 MHz in 6 Bands Transmit Array Elements 12 per band Subarray Apertures 304, 224,167,123, 92, 68 m Transmit Azimuth Beamwidth (3 dB) 7.5 deg Transmit Elevation Beam (3-dB points) 8-33 deg @ 5 MHz, 5-15 deg @ 28 MHZ Transmit Azimuth Beam Steer �30 deg Receive Array Design 246 5.4-m Vertical Elements with 20-m Backscreen Receive Frequency 5-28 MHz in 3 Bands Receive Array Aperture 1519, 1013, 506 m Number of Active Receive Elements 82 Receive Azimuth Beamwidth (3 dB) 1.25 deg (no weighting), 2.5 deg (raised-cosine weighting) Receive Elevation Beam (3-dB points) 8-33 deg @ 5 MHz, 5-15 deg @ 28 MHZ Receive Azimuth Beam Steer �30 deg ECRS Receive Location 44.79 N, 67.79 W ECRS Azimuth Limits (modified) 31.5-91.5-151.5-211.5 deg East of North ECRS Transmitter-Receiver Separation 160 km ECRS Operations Center Bangor ANGB, ME WCRS Receive Location 41.70 N, 121.18 W WCRS Azimuth Limits (3 segments) 160-220-280-340 deg East of North WCRS Transmitter-Receiver Separation 160 km WCRS Operations Center Mountain Home AFB, ID Waveform Repetition Frequency 10-60 Hz Waveform (chirp) Bandwidth 5-40 kHz Coherent Integration Time 0.7-20.5 s [size="3"][b]DEW[/b][/size] Frequency range 1220–1350 MHz Peak power output 160 kW Average power output -400 W Pulse rate 400 pulses/per second Pulse width 6.0 usec Range 1000 yard to 160 nmi Antenna radiation pattern Horizontal 2.8 degrees Vertical cosecant (elevation single) Receiver noise figure 11.7 db IF bandwidth and frequency 5 MHz at 60 MHz Required prime power 8.5 KW Approximate weight of Radar 4800 lb Total volume 1000 ft to the third [size="3"][b]1.

S-300V [/b][/size] The "GLADIATOR" missiles have a maximum engagement range of around 75 km (47 mi) while the "GIANT" missiles can engage targets out to 100 km (62 mi) and up to altitudes of around 32 km (100,000 ft). In both cases the warhead is around 150 kg (331 lb). While it was created from the same project (hence the common S-300 designation) different priorities resulted in a design quite different from the other versions. The S-300V system is carried on tracked MT-T transporters, which gives it better cross-country mobility than even the S-300Ps on 8x8 wheeled transporters. It is also somewhat more distributed than the S-300P's. For example, while both have mechanically-scanned radar for target acquisition (9S15 BILL BOARD A), the battery level 9S32 GRILL PAN has autonomous search ability and SARH delegated to illumination radar on TELARs. The early 30N6 FLAP LID on the S-300P handles tracking and illumination, but is not equipped with autonomous search (later upgraded). The S-300V places a greater emphasis on ABM, with the dedicated 9M82 (SA-12B Giant). This missile is larger and only two can be held on each TELAR. It also has a dedicated ABM radar – the 9S19 HIGH SCREEN phased array radar at battalion level. A typical S-300V battalion is made up out of a target detection and designation unit, a guidance radar and up to 6 TELARs. The detection and designation unit consists of the 9S457-1 command post, a 9S15MV or 9S15MT BILL BOARD all-round surveillance radar and 9S19M2 HIGH SCREEN sector surveillance radar.[9] The S-300V uses the 9S32-1 GRILL PAN multi-channel guidance radar. Four types of missile-launcher vehicles can be used with the system:[10] Transporter erector and radar (TELAR) vehicles, which not only transport the missiles, but also fire and guide them. There are two models: the 9A83-1 TELAR holding four 9M83 GLADIATOR missiles and the 9A82 TELAR holding two 9M82 GIANT missiles.[10] Launcher/loader vehicles (LLV), which transport the missiles and can reload the TELARs, and also fire missiles under the control of a TELAR.

With the safety set to ‘safe’, the trigger is not able to be pulled to the rear. Further, not only can the trigger not be pulled, but the electrical system that controls the ignition sequence passes through the safety. Should it be set to safe, the circuit is not completed, and the weapon may not fire. Should the weapon be set to fire, it still may not do so unless the trigger is pulled, again by means of circuit completion. For safety DURING firing a microchip is used in the same manner as the earlier MS3GL. It is located at the barrel muzzle, and detects the passage of each projectile and locks the firing mechanism (of each subsequent shell) until the fired shell has cleared the muzzle. Further, and lastly, the rounds themselves do not arm until 6m clear of the muzzle, by default, to prevent self-harm. The simple impact, of course, will still have an effect. The weapon’s safety and readiness state is provided by a backlit display on the rear of the weapon’s battery port. The illumination is activated by a simple toggle switch.

It can cue other systems while protecting BMDS assets. The Patriot system is further enhanced by networked BMDS remote sensors supplying early warning data, thus, increasing the probability of successful threat engagement. The PAC-3 units are the combatant commanders' most capable system to protect soldiers, allies, and assets against these threats. The PAC-3 consists of the PAC-3 missile, the PAC-3 missile canisters (in four packs), a fire solution computer and an Enhanced Launcher Electronics System (ELES). These elements are integrated into Patriot Missile System, a high to medium altitude, long-range air defense missile system providing air defense of ground combat forces and high-value assets. The heart of the Patriot Missile System is the fire control section, which consists of the AN/MPQ-65 Radar Set, the AN/MSQ-104 Engagement Control Station (ECS), the OE-349 Antenna Mast Group (AMG), and the EPP-III Electric Power Plant. The missiles are transported by and launched from the M901 Launching Station (mounted on M860 semi-trailers and towed by the M983 HEMTT Patriot Tractor), which carries up to sixteen PAC-3 missiles. The task of the AN/MPQ-65 Radar Set (mounted on M860 semi-trailers and towed by the M983 HEMTT Patriot Tractor) is to sweep the sky for enemy threats and determine whether the incoming object is an aircraft, missile, or UAV. The AN/MPQ-65 is a passive electronically scanned array radar. From the AN/MSQ-104 ECS, a crew of three operators communicate and monitor/prioritize threats. The ECS consists of a shelter mounted on the chassis of the M927 Medium Tactical Vehicle or on the chassis of a Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV). The OE-349 AMG is mounted on the chassis of a M927 Medium Tactical Vehicle. It includes four 4 kW antennas in two pairs on remotely controlled masts. The EPP-III Diesel-Electric Power Plant is the power source for the ECS and Radar Set. The EPP consists of two 150 kW diesel engines interconnected with 400 hertz generators. The generators are mounted on a modified M977 HEMTT. When launched, the PAC-3 missile flies to an intercept point specified prior to launch by its ground-based fire solution computer. Target trajectory data can be updated during flyout by the means of a radio frequency uplink/downlink. Shortly before arrival at the intercept point, the missile's on board Ka band seeker acquires the target, selects the optimal aim point and initiates terminal guidance. The attitude control motors, located in the missile forebody, fire explosively to refine the PAC-3 missile's course to assure direct body-to-body impact.

The XF-32 "GREY WIDOW" is a 5th+++ generation, fully operational test bed for the AU's JOINT SIXTH GENERATION AIR SUPERIORITY project developed by MILITARY AVIATION COMPLEX (MILAC) in collaboration AIR MILITANT COMMAND (AMC). It is designed as a fully capable platform capable of delivering a high volume of air to air ordinance in order to gain allied air supremacy. It has a secondary role of a high endurance ECM, ELINT ECCM aircraft, while also serving as an usher to newer advancements to continue developing the AFRICAN UNION's CONSOLIDATED AIRFORCE into a formidable fighting force. Utilizing the lessons learned by its immediate cousin, the F/A-0 "BROWN WIDOW" the XF-32 has a tailless all-aspect broadband stealth airframe, a pair of IR-shielded thrust-vectoring engines, while forgoing the BROWN WIDOW's hybrid control/close-coupled canards for enhanced low and top aspect radar profiles. 2. The "GREY WIDOW" carries the large assortment weapons its cousin does, while retaining a larger design for both fuel and operational range. It is intended to replace, or help develop a replacement for the air-dominance role currently held by the F-23 BLACK WIDOW. It leaves AIR INTERDICTION, TACTICAL ground attack and CLOSE AIR SUPPORT to the F/A-0 and priority interdiction sorties to the A-1 KRIEG. 3. The aircraft is designed to be easy to fix and maintain by utilizing a standard set of equipment present in both the F-23 BLACK WIDOW and F/A-0 BROWN WIDOW. It is designed for ease of procurement while shirking none of the performance, enhancing the ability of the AU to both mass produce airframes and parts with a cheaper long-term maintenance plan for the trio of aircraft. The GREY WIDOW is the second aircraft designed from conceptual stages to be primarily a full capability export aircraft, with production rights solely given to allied states. 4. THIS AIRCRAFT IS DESIGNED TO IMPLEMENT THE STANAG (STANDARD AGREEMENT) AND FULL INTEGRATION OF THE AFRICAN UNION COMBINED FORCES COMMAND (COMFOR) TOGETHER WITH THE AFRICAN UNION SECURITY FORCES (AUSF) INTO A COHESIVE PAN-AFRICAN MILITARY FORCE. IT IS A PRIMARY AIR DOMINANCE FIGHTER WITH EMPHASIS ON USAGE IN NORTH AND EAST MILITARY AIR OFFENSIVE ROLES AND A DEFENSIVE ROLE ACROSS THE AFRICAN CONTINENT. [b]COCKPIT[/b] 1. The Cockpit of the MILAC XF-32 features a roomy "glass-cockpit" design. Commands can be entered manually or via an integrated "user dependent" Adacel DVI (Direct Voice Input) system which accepts commands from the pilot verbally. The plane also contains a full-panel-width "cockpit panoramic display" to display warnings, RADAR systems, sensor-fuzed identification, targeting and tracking information and other relevant stimuli. The on-board computer can accesses an INTERNAL REFERENCE SYSTEM (IRS), which provides color and shape coordinated information on an enemy aircraft type and provides CURRENT battlefield knowledge of the maximum enemy RADAR detection range (yellow line) and missile range (red line). Overlapping enemy RADAR and missile regions are combined to avoid user clutter and the pilot is informed via a HELMET MOUNTED DISPLAY SYSTEM (HDMS) when they have fallen into either. Pilots can also use touch screen commands to share information with other pilots, by clicking on particular targets, or setting way-points at their command allowing for a fluid flow of information from one pilot to the group during a conversation (priority being given to the group leader). 2. All planes will utilize a HELMET MOUNTED DISPLAY SYSTEM (HMDS) to display enemy aircraft with missile systems cued to lock on by simply looking in the direction of the desired target if desired via combination of HIGH OFF-BORESIGHT weapons (HOBS). Alternative methods that can be sent to the FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM (FCS) including "manual" or "automatic" target selection. The aircraft contains a HEADS UP DISPLAY (HUD) system as a back up, relying primarily on the HMDS to convey information to the pilot. 3. All aircraft are equipped with a MARTIN-BAKER US16E ejection seat. Furthermore, control of the aircraft utilizes a right hand stick controller and a left throttle control. [b]FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM (FCS) XN8 AND NETWORKING [/b] 1. The FCS XN8 fire control system is an upgraded version of the XN7 present on the BROWN WIDOW based on the enhanced electronics warfare capability of the GREY WIDOW. The aircraft is designed to acquire and track up to 75 targets air, land and sea on the COCKPIT DISPLAY PANEL and HMDS, and fire up to twelve weapons simultaneously. Target acquisition is performed utilizing a combination of continuous radio-frequency and Infra-red tracking systems via SAIRST. Autonomous tracking for standoff weapons and further enemy information can be acquired via an onboard ELECTRO-OPTICAL TRACKING SYSTEM (EOTS) (OOC: Stealthy version of this) and IIDU based sensors. In combination, this array of sensors integrates with the FCS to provide full HIGH OFF-BORESIGHT weapon (HOBS) capabilities to all weapons - making aircraft orientation unimportant. The combined might of this multi-spectrum sensory information is realized as a sensor-fused advancement of the contemporary Target Acquisition System Software (TASS) utilized in the BLACK WIDOW, a marked improvement incorporating both legacy Nodic as well as modern Aeon advancements into a single cohesive package. 2. These systems are designed to work with a local "Group AEWACs", local group networks or space based networks via a MULTIFUNCTION ADVANCED DATA LINK (MADL), which transmits data between the planes and various military networks without compromising stealth features of the plane. The application of a satellite based WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN), which can transmit data at 848 megabits per second and receive at gigabit speeds, allows for pilots to have full battlefield combat situational awareness and at the same time allows them to focus in on a smaller region to handle threats or objectives closer to home. The system provides pilots the full range of sensory information acquired by other secured network aircraft, AEWACs, AUSF DETECTION EARLY WARNING (DEW) Long and Short Range RADARs along with ground support from AUSF Air Support mobile RADARs and IR DETECTION STATIONS, SPECTATOR CLASS MILITARY SATELLITES and other detection networks validated by the AMC and the AUSF. When combined with BEYOND VISUAL RANGE missiles, the FCS and Networking system allows the pilots to even target and fire on enemies outside of their current sensor range, using the other systems information as the targeting system to acquire a "lock". 3. Networking is also a valuable system here as it can automatically assign targets to each individual missile according to priority, and the weapon best designed for the given target via a INTERNAL REFERENCE SYSTEM (IRS) which is continuously updated during combat operations via the network grid so pilots can have the best understanding possible of the enemy. This allows the group to utilize it's munitions to their fullest potential by rapidly assigning each weapon a unique target and allowing them an instant opportunity to fire or disregard each target at their discretion. With proper authorization, the system also has an auto-fire command allowing weapons to be fired as soon as the system has a lock-on on a non-friendly IDENTIFICATION FRIEND OR FOE (IFF) signature that has been designated as that systems target. It also allows pilots to enter the combat situation with an optimal understanding of the enemy as interactions occur on the battlefield. 4. The FCS system will also be able to make optimum use of new LOCK-ON AFTER LAUNCH (LOAL) capable missiles, allowing the user to fire the missile at the general vicinity of the target and then program the target into the missile after it is already in flight (also critical for internal bay launched missiles), or even allowing said missile to acquire a lock on its own via active seeking or networked tracking information from allied platforms. After launch, programming capabilities also allow for "nape of the earth" near-surface combat attack orientations. These allow the aircraft to fire upon enemy forces near the ground while using terrain as an active cover. On board navigation systems will soon also allow the programming of a BEYOND VISUAL RANGE (BVR) missile's flight trajectory so that it acts as a temporary "cruise-mode" before rising up to strike at it's opponents in the distance. [b]ON-BOARD NAVIGATION SYSTEM [/b] 1. The on-board navigation system utilizes a RING LASER GYROSCOPIC INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM combined with on-board GPS positioning (developed from the lessons learned from MILAC's Deathstalker). On-board systems determine the aircraft's location in space on Earth, allowing the pilot to know their position at all times relative to their environment. The aircraft also has an AUTOMATIC GROUND-COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (Auto GCAS). This system allows the aircraft to safely navigate along the "nape of the earth", utilizing terrain features to reduce the probability of detection by hostile forces and allowing for deep penetration into enemy territory. [b]ARMARMENT [/b] 1. The larger size of the GREY WIDOW, provides a significant internal weapons bay, providing room for up to ten weapons mounts opposed to eight, as found on the F-23 Black WIDOW. It complements its fire-power by opting to fit two small diameter bombs or SIR-73/74 class weapons on each hardpoint. Gun: 2 x 30mm Lancer auto-cannon, 540 CTA rounds Missiles: Aim 9x Sidewinder, SIR-73, SIR-74AC and SIR-74AC-ER, JAGM Missile, AGM-84 Harpoon, AGM-88E AARGM, AGM-154 JSOW, MBDA Meteor, SARAH-37 Missile, ADM-160A MALD , SEAD-MA and SEAD-MA-EM, 'Punisher' Tactical Assault Missile(TAM) Bombs: CBU-100 Cluster Bombs, JDAM Series, Mark 82, 83 and 84 GPBs, Paveway Series Bombs , Small Diameter Bombs All craft are additionally armed with chaff and flares for aircraft defense. More advanced defensive systems are as follows: 4 x Tanzanian Arms AN/AAQ-24 directional infrared countermeasure (DIRCM) system AN/AAR-54 missile warning system Small Laser Targeting Assembly (SLTA) 6 x Dorsal Bay mounting TA/MILAC 'mini-Nulka' cold launched Active Radar Expendable Decoy (ARED) 6 x ALE-50 Towed Decoy System NEXT GENERATION JAMMING AND CYBERATTACK 1. The GREY WIDOW mounts a NEXT GENERATION PLUS JAMMER (NGPT) system, designed to escort stealthy and non-stealthy aircraft to the edge of an enemy threat zone, jamming radars used by the enemy to launch munitions at allied targets. The NGPT is designed to open the envelope of safety given to allied units in order to successfully deploy stand-off attack munitions, escape a projected kill zone, or mount concerted close-in attacks to destroy high priority targets. The AESA based NGPJ system is designed to exploit electronic warfare, operating across a broad swath of the electromagnetic spectrum. This electronic surveillance and attack system utilizes the very skin of the GREY WIDOW as a giant AESA array, breaking it up into several 'sectors', elements that are steerable, directable and assignable in frequency. Each sector is tasked for use in differing functions, as well as for pointing at differing targets. In addition, this section based system can be used in its totality to provide a very high power capability, producing nearly three times the power in a much smaller package. 2. The NGPT is capable of directing its energy in a concerted attack against sensitive enemy electronics. In addition, it is capable of inserting malicious information into enemy data streams, allowing for suppression of enemy intelligence gathering assets or their outright disablement. 3. The NGPT addresses the dual nature of the code insertion capability AESA based systems are vulnerable to. The NGPT integrates a protective, intelligent countermeasure system to guard against such cyberattacks. This system practices secured input and output handling to ensure defense against compromisation. It includes: - Input validation against a secured and duplicated database of known/accepted inputs - Proactive conversion of potentially dangerous input code into standardized, safe characters - Input and output encoding - Utilizing a unique, indigenously produced programming language that draws heavily upon 'prepared statements', 'bound variables' and 'bound values' The successes encountered with the NGPT during the GREY WIDOW program have been deployed to legacy systems and will be included in future systems employed by the AUSF. [b]RADAR, EWS AND SECURITY [/b] 1. The BROWN WIDOW Utilizes a MILAC/APG-77 based ACTIVE ELECTRONICALLY SCANNED ARRAY (AESA) RADAR system. The RADAR system is controlled by via two TENSOR COMMON INTEGRATED PROCESSORS (CIP)s, which can process 10.5 billion instructions per second and have 800 MB of memory. This information is processed further by the on-board FCS XN78 computer system which provides the information in an easy to understand, informative display in the cockpit. The RADAR system has an expected range of approximately 300-350 km, with up to a 500 km range when utilizing a narrow beam search pattern. Additionally the aircraft has 6 EO/IR-sensors, and a Ultra-Violet MISSILE APPROACH EARLY WARNING SYSTEM (MAWS) both of which combine to be as a missile warning system with continuous coverage on all angles of the aircraft. The system is integrated with the FCS XN8 system and an AN/ASQ-239 (Barracuda) ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEM (EWS). Additionally, the aircraft has seperate ECM and CECM pods smoothly integrated into the wing-tips for additional support of the NGPJ system. Internal electronics are protected by concentrated Electro-magnetic shielding to lessen the effects of concerted EM attacks. 2. In addition to the EWS used to protect the aircraft from electromagnetic attacks, an extensive on-board security suite is installed to avoid interference with the network via "hacking". All MILAC networks run on a SECURE ISOLATED NETWORK (SIN). The system utilizes FULL 1024 BIT ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD (AES) technology to encode all relevant information between parties, in conjunction with an indigenously developed Reduced Instruction Set driving hardware. In addition to these encryption technologies, all networks will operate in "stealth mode", acting as though the network didn't exist to any party outside of those programmed into the main system. No party can acquire /ROOT ACCESS to the software while the aircraft is operating, nor while the wireless network system is active. Data transmissions are monitored by MILAC personnel to observe that no erroneous information is being fed to the system by an errant enemy source. Furthermore, aircraft /ROOT ACCESS requires a high level manual password validation that would allow the user more then simple "use" of the software and transmitting authorized data forms (passing and receiving information from various programs). If such authorization cannot be acquired within five tries, the system invokes an F-DISK and destroys the hard-drive, destroying all internal code and the ability of the unit to interact via networking. Access to this screen requires it's own separate pass code to avoid accidental or sabotage based attacks, this has an unlimited number of tries, but would be impossible to enter without a proper code (only valid for the hour of it's entry). 3. In the event that a system within the network is considered compromised, the system can be cut off manually from a central network from the inside given the proper authorization codes. The system will not take effect on aircraft however, until it has safely landed on the ground. The on-board electronics, such as the hard-drive, cannot be removed from the system without proper coded authorization (similar to the /ROOT authorization protection), such systems are in place to prevent the physical removal of critical pieces of hardware and subsequent analysis by an external separately built device. All of this works to create an extremely secure defense around the working network, to prevent unwanted access by enemy forces. 4. The GREY WIDOW is capable of communicating in a secure, zero-probability of intercept 'hunting pack' capability via point-to-point laser transmissions strobed onto an appropriately equipped allied unit. This transmission is useable when supreme electronic silence must be maintained, especially when two or more communicating vehicles are in close proximity (tight formation). [b]AIRCRAFT DESIGN AND LOW OBSERVABILITY CHARACTERISTICS [/b] 1. The XF-32 utilizes a LOW OBSERVABLE TECHNOLOGY throughout the design of the aircraft to minimize it's RADAR cross section, IR signature, visual image and sensor systems. VEHICLE SHAPE attributes reflect RADAR off the aircraft at large angles, reducing returns and an S-Shaped air intake reduces the returns from the turbo-fans, while a thin layer of conducting Indium-Tin-Oxide, reduces the RCS of the cockpit. The removal of the hybrid control/close-coupled canard system of the BROWN WIDOW reduces the radar cross section of the aircraft substantially. The tailless design of the WIDOW also contributes to an all aspect RCS. 2. IR emissions from the engine are reduced by avoiding a circular tailpipe, such as the slit tail-pipe design found on the F-23 Black WIDOW and F-22 Raptor. This engine design also finds it's way onto the GREY WIDOW, which helps to reduce the aircraft's vulnerability to IR detection stations and heat-seeking missiles. The advent of optical systems also requires further stealth characteristics, which is why aircraft coloring scheme is designed to prevent shadows and blend into it's environment ((OOC: via the same techniques used on the Bird of Prey demonstrator)). 3. For the sake of protecting our critical resources, Air Militant Command often recommends that one or even two GREY WIDOW ace pilots accompany every squadron, providing additional cover from an off-formation vector. Ever vigilant but not directly visible, these aircraft serve several purposes. They provide dedicated air-combat focused specialists on the field, and can act as "mini-AEWACS", and they also provide increased endurance on the battlefield in intense air-combat situations because of their larger fuel capacity and armaments. 4. The largest radar reflector on the frontal aspect of a fighter is the compressor turbine. In order to compensate for this source of detection, there is a perceived misalignment of the turbine in relation to air intakes. This prevents radar waves from directly reaching the compressor. The result is a very small frontal RCS due to the curvature of the airducts of the turbine. 5. Exhaust from the single power plant flows through a winding path within the airframe of the XF-32. Along this path, the troughs are lined with heat ablating materials which in turn feeds the heat into the main combustion cavity. The exhaust is shielded from infrared missile detection from below. 6. The majority of the GREY WIDOW's airframe is built with composite materials opposed to conventional metallics, and is designed to 'trap' incoming radar waves that penetrate the external skin, allowing for more energy to be absorbed and turned into much more manageable heat. This heat may be shunted by liquid cooling to the combustion chambers of the XF-32's powerplant, aiding in propulsion and reducing radar returns substantially. While this does not aid in the ease of production, it was determined that unless catastrophic damage has been incurred by an airframe, export clients would not necessarily need to deal with such concerns. Furthermore, 3D-Manufacturing technology would serve to consolidate all construction woes into a single, easier to manage package, allaying cost and intricacy concerns somewhat. 7. Low wing aspect ratio is used to optimize supercruise performance. The tailless aspect of the WIDOW lends itself not only to a reduced RCS, but also reduced mechanical complexity and greater agility due to inherent instability.

[center][img]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m586/JoelJames1/Atlantisflag-1.png[/img][/center] King Mandella was pleased. For years they had been cultivating this nation in private, without anyone knowing what was really happening. There had been that time the a Republic of Paris patrol officer nearly discovered their existance, but he was quickly dealt with. WIth the offer of a military, King Mandella knew that it was time to make this country official. He was in his palace, in the storage room. He rustled through what was in there, until he pulled out a long, thin case. He set in on the floor and undid the latches. He picked it up out of the container and unfurled it. It was the flag of Atlantis. He walked out the the balcony where thousands of his followers were standing and waiting. In one hand, he held the unfurled flag. The other hand was curled into a fist, triumphantly thrusted into the air. The crowd erupted into cheers and broke into a frenzy. The king allowed himself a small smile. When the cheering had died down, the King made his speech. "I never thought that I would live to see this day come. Honestly, until a few weeks ago, I believed that we would be a hidden society forever, but then the world changed. A group of foreigners came in with weapons and war machines, lookig for a home. They said that they would obey the govenment and all their laws, and they even form the base of our military. Even as we speak, many of pur fellow countrymen are training to join the army, so that they can make their country proud. Today, we start a nation that will last through all ages, and will one day be known throughout the world!" King Mandella finshed his speech, and the crows again transformed into a frenzy. the king walked back into the palace, shutting the door behind him. They had taken over all the naval bases and airports from Najambian and Parisian times. The future of this country was looking very bright indeed.

Please mark this is Atlantis. Also, return Eastern Federation to the Horde [img]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m586/JoelJames1/NewNation3-1.png[/img]

OOC: Yeah, I am still working on this, so don't start !@#$%*ing. I meant to post this yesterday, but never got to it. IC: [b]The Beginning[/b] The citizens of the Eastern Federation were tired of the opressive government. About 40% of the workforce were working in the oil fields and the military factories, for next to nothing. They had poor working conditions, and the benefits were nonexistant. The citizens, knowing that they had nothing to lose, grabbed whatever tools and guns they could get their hands on to and started to riot. The rioters in the capital were heading towards the palace, tearing down the buildings that they had so diligently worked to build, but they did not care, as long as the president was gone. A force of 50,000 soldiers were at the capital to stop the protestors, but many soldiers had defected, causing chaos. [b]Navy Yard[/b] A group of ex-soldiers, knowing that this was nearing the end, visited a navy yard. The sailors that remained in the yard were with these group of soldiers, so they unlocked the gate and let them in. With the chaos erupting throughout the nation, no one seemed to notice. The navy yard was starting to show its first signs of disrepair. There weas rust creeping on the rails. Equipment was strewn everywhere. The guard towers were empty and broken. It looked like the this place wasn't used in a long time, making it the perfect place to depart from. Under earler orders, the sailors sailed all of the navy ships into the bease's harbor. The soldiers and sailors started to load up into the ships. Since this would be a relatively short trip, they packed on a little food. After everything was set for departure, they sailed out of the harbor. A few minutes after they had left the yard, it erupted into flames. Everything from the equipment to the guard towers and the barracks were either completely destroyed or melted beyond recognition. The people on the boats turned around and smiled. They had done their job perfectly. No one would ever know what happened at the yard now. [b]Southern Point[/b] From where they were, they sailed to the southernmost tip of the Eastern Federation. The soldiers were astounded by what they saw. They only expected the navy ships to make their departure from their country. Instead, what they saw were hundreds of ship owners, everything from cruise ships to barges, ready to flee the country. They soldiers quickly regained their posture, and started shouting out orders. Then, the ships with many hundreds of civilian ships started loading up all the military equipment that they could get their hands on: tanks, artillery guns, planes, guns, AA guns, and ironically, missiles. The work was hard an difficult, especially for the cruise ship owners. They had to tear down most of the rooms on their ship just to make room for all the equipment that they were going to bring. Through their hard work, they finished loading what they needed. After all the militar equipment had been stored away, many crates of food were brought on board for the journey. The soldiers finally laid their eyes on the forbidden food: ham. They licked their lips and couldn't wait to eat it for dinner that night, but they did not have the tie right then. After loading all the food that they could, they loaded soldiers into the reamining space. They did not have room for citizens except for the owners of the ships who wished to flee. When fully loaded, they took a head count. They did manage to move the equipment with about 15,000 soldiers and about 350 ship owners. After running through all the final checks, they looked one last time back at the country, they place most of them had been born and raised. They would never see it again After they finished reminiscing, they departed from the coast. When the soldiers asked their leader where they would be headed, he said that he knew a place where they could live free of this rule. [b]Capital[/b] President Abdul knew the end was near. He good hear his soldiers being slaughtered right outside the palace in a last desperate bid to save the president. The president didn't even bother to keep his hopes up, he knew that the end was near. He also had no idea what the rioters would do to him. If they were willing to slaughter their own countrymen right outside the palace, he knew that he would experience pain beyond his imagination. He understood the outcome and went to the stairs. He descended a few flights of stairs and went into his favorite room. The archery room. Their, he picked up his old, trusty bow, nocked and arrow, and pulled it so far back that the feathers started to tickle his face. He let go and the arrow rocketed forward. It lodged itself in one of the targets. When President Abdul looked at it, he allowed himself a small smile. A bulls-eye. One final bulls-eye. He took another arrow out of a quiver laying on the floor and picked in up. He dropped his bow, knowing full well that he would not live to pick it up again. He grasped the arrow with both hands, and turned it, so it faced his body. He took one final deep breath of air, and stabbed himself through the heart with the arrow. The light in his eyes went out, and he went slack. He dropped to the floor, never to take breath again. He was dead. Upstairs, the rioters finally broke down the palace door and flooded into the palace. What they saw only made them even more angry. While they were finding it hard to make ends meet, the president had a luxurious life with no worries at all. They flodded into all the rooms in the palace, intending to make the president pay. A youth of no more than fourteen, descended the stairs. When he opened the final door, he waled into a large room. When he looked at the walls, he saw many bows and quivers full of arrows. There were fancy bows, old fashioned bows, weak bows, and strong bows. He looked at the other side of the wall and saw many targets lining the wall. In one of them, there was a single arrow sticking out of the bulls-eye. When he looked at the floor about twenty feet away, he saw a man lying in a growing pool of blood. He hurried over to try and help the man, but when he came close, he finally saw who it was. The President. The boy ran up the stairs to tell the other rioters. The roiters came pouring down the stairs, wanting to see the dead body themselves. When they all had seen their fill, a single man brought in a can of oil. He poured it all over the president. After he had finished this, he took out a lighter/ He flicked it. Once, Twice, Three times, intil the flame finally appeared. He knelt down and touched the presidents clothes with it, and the president erupted into flames. While his body was burning, the other people in the room were cheering. The president was dead. They all hurried out of the room, with final task to do. They were all given a stick of C-4. They each could put it where they wanted to, as long as it was somewhere in the palace. Many people put it in normal places, but a few morons put it in strange places - the refirdgerator, the toilet, a few boxes, and one even slipped it in a dead guards pants. After the had all finished placing their charges, they left the palace. A few minutes later, the entire place exploded. A few hours later, a visitor could not have known there had been a palace in the first place. [b]The Trip[/b] The soldiers have been on the open seas for a long time. They had asked earlier, and the leader said that they were coming up the western coast of Africa. He said that they were almost at their destination, so they waited. And waited. They kept waiting until they had lost their patience. The leader said once again that they were nearing the coast of their destination. When they asked where they were headed, the leader said nothing but extended his hand, pinting at the coast of the continent. An hour later, they managed to reach the coast. They started to unload, but a man in a jeep came out onto the beach with a gun. Ten more jeeps followed him. When they asked the soldiers what they were doing here, they said that they seeked a home, and wanted to speak to their leader. They natives, a little suspicious at first, saw that if the foreigners wanted to fight, they would have done that by now. They natives brought one more jeep for a select group of six. When the six departed, the others were still unloading the ships. The group of six were quickly brought to a tent camp, were the native leader was staying for a small vacation. They went into the native leader tent. There, they sat down and waited to be acknowledged. [b]The Meeting[/b] The native leader turned around and eyed them all. After examining them, he asked what they wanted. The foreign leader just said that a group of people were looking for a new home, and they hoped that this would be the place. The native leader asked what they could possibly bring to show that they are not dead weight. The foreign leader said that they had weapons and many many war machines. The foreign leader said that he and the people who came with him would become this country's military, and they would recruit the natives to join the military. We do not want any power. We just want a home. You can govern us. The native leader thought about this for a long time. True, they could use a military, but they did not trust these people yet. Then again, they had a large fleet of ships off the coast. If I said no, they could just as easily take over this country. The native leader had finally came to his decision. He said that they could be assimilated into the country and they can stay. All their property though, would be handed over to the custody of the native govenment. The foreign leader agreed. The native leader took out a piece of paper and wrote something down on it. The foreign leader looked at it. It said "Welcome to Atlantis. All Hail King Mandella" The foreign leader and his group bowed to the king, and went back to the beaches in the jeep they were given. When they reached the beach, the people left to unload the things were told of the news. Instead of being angry, they were actually pleased. They were happy that they had a home, more than most people could ask for. After they finished unloading, many natives and fleets of transports came to pick up the equipment. The Atlantians and the soldiers both helped to load all the equipment and the soldiers. When they had finished, they drove off, to their new home.

Anwar stepped down from his plane and took a deep breath of air. Xendrian air. His plane had just landed, and he had just gotten off. From the message he had received from President Abdul. it seemed that he was to meet someone by the name of Sir Asphodel. Anwar, being old fashioned, liked to walk to where he needs to go if possible. Since he landed in a private part of the airport, he knew that he was not far off from the palace. He had no luggage, so he walked out a pair of doors and headed to the palace. While he was walking, Anwar looked around. [i]"Considering that this is a new country"[/i] he said [i]"It is actually fairly developed. I guess I can't talk considering that the Eastern Federation is a relatively brand new nation itself."[/i] He reviewed his goals one final time. The president had sent him to Xendria to establish economic and possibly militaristic ties with Xendria. Since they both occupied land in the Middle East, he knew that the President wanted to have a bond between the nations. [i]"I hope this king is a reasonable man"[/i] Anwar thought. [i]"I don't want to go back home and say that I couldn't get anything done. The president could get mad if he learned that."[/i]

REDACTED

OOC: Yeah, I understand, we need to get to the interesting part . I Probably shouldn't have RPed that Coast Guard though IC: When the general looked at the weapons, he couldn't help but smiling. These weren't the greatest weapons in the world, but he knew that they would be more than enough for what was coming up ahead. His happiness went sour when he tried to reach up and rearrange his hair, and then he remembered for the tenth time that he was bald. In the Eastern Federation, it was unusual for someone to get a haircut. While their hair was shrotened in the military, there was always a good amount there. Being bald for the first time made him and the rest of the regiment a little uncomfortable, but the did not show it, trying not to expse a weakness. To take his mind of his lost hair, he turned back and looked at the gun he was issued. It was a great killing machine. With this weapon, he felt more secure tha he had since he left the Eastern Federation. After admiring the gun, he slipped on his body armor. He didn't want to be without it. The Legion had called it the ALICE bodr armor. It wieghed more than a shirt, but if it could save his life, he was ok with it. Dropping to the ground, he grabbed his pack and picked it up, putting it on his back. The pack was a bit heavy, but nothing compared to the hell he had to go through in the desert when he was a kid. He knew that the pack might make him buckle if he ever got exhausted enough, but for now, he was confident that it wouldn''t cause too much of a problem. Finally, he turned and looked at his men. They all looked emotionless, but he knew his men well enough to know what they were thinking. Sure, he was grateful that the Legion allowed this training, but he wasn't sure if he trusted these Legion soldiers yet. He had just met them, and from their reputation, he knew that he would have to be very cautious and vert careful. He looked at the Legion soldiers standing there. He wasn't sure. He might be shaking his hand one day, and the ext might be a fight to the death.

The Eastern Federation recognizes New England.

The oil, which had not been received, has been turned around and brought back to the Eastern Federation. The nation has plenty of extra oil at 21 million barrels, but as of yet, no buyers. The Eastern Federation has requested to join the African Unity Pact to open new markets to the young nation. When President Abdul was asked about the exta oil, he said [i]"This oil needs to go somewhere, especially when we are pumping now 300,000 barrels of oil a day. Oil prices have been cut, but we still have no buyers. The only good thing is that we won't need to worry about energy for a long time to come, and our military will always be well fueled."[/i] Talking about military, The Eastern Federation government has approved of a plan to research and produce C-130s, military helicopters, AWACS, UAVs, and Drones (OOC: Predator B and C). The President plans on producing 720 C-130s, 720 military helicopters, 100 AWACS, 100 UAVs, and a total of 50-100 drones. This will be a huge bill, looking to be hundreds of billions of dollars, probably ending up being the largest military contract in eastern Federation History. The cost could run up to a possible 500 billion EFD or more.

The general listened carefully to what the man was saying. After he had finished giving the orders, the general had turned around and said [i]"You heard what the man said. Get behind those dunes. We will be waiting for motor transport. We have a week to get used to the Legion weapons. If any person cannot do something like that in one week, I will stick a gun up his arse and make him swim all the way back to the Eastern Federation. Am I understood?"[/i] After a moment to let the soldiers understand, the soldiers retorted [i]"SIR YES SIR!"[/i] The general continued by saying [i]"OK, get moving then. Do not make me or our country feel embarassed, or you'll be eating African dirt forever"[/i] The soldiers began moving silently, cursing if they got their foot stuck in the sand or sank into a hidden hole. While they were moving, the general pulled out his radio and gave an update back to Military HQ [i]"Contact established between the Eastern Federation and Legion forces. We are going to be given one week to familiarize with Legion weaponry and then we will be shipped to the front. No further information." [/i]

[b]Just off the Legion Coast[/b] [i]"There it is."[/i] When the shore of the African continent came into view, all the soldiers gaped at it in awe. This place was completely different than where they were used to living. The most obvious difference was te huge amount of greenery. Other than the greenhouses and farms in the Eastern Federation, there weren't large groups of greenery like this. When they approached the coast, they saw their destination: Mogadishu. The soldiers were also kind of nervous. Just before they had departed, all equipment had been pulled from them. Of all 3,000 men, there was not even a single pistol to be seen. From there, they sat in sience unti they touched down on the shore. [b]Legion Coast[/b] When they anded on the beaches, the soldiers began to unload. The General in charge of this regiment signed with relief [i]"Thank God that it is somewhere around midnight. I don't want the Legion citizens freaking out when they see thousands of foreign soldiers unloading on the their beaches."[/i] The general knew why he was here. These 3,000 men had been picked by the President himself to go to Africa to train to become instructors for the Eastern Federation Miitary. Through their effort, the Eastern Federation would have a more respectable military. While the soldiers were leaving the ships, a Legion officer pulled up near the general, pulled out a pistol and aimed it at him. [i]"Who are you and what is your business on this beach? You look foreign to me."[/i] The general didn't say a word, but reached into his pocket and pulled out a sheet of paper. It was a letter from the President of the Eastern Federation requesting them to be sent to West Africa and armed for training. The general said [i]"I need you to give this letter to anyone who has authority in the national government, preferably someone by the name of Dellion or the Empress. They will know what it means."[/i]

A representative of President Abdul is worried that this country will close Disney World. He wants confirmation that the amusement park will stay open before recognizing this new nation.

President Abdul thought for a moment. After Dellion had finished his phone calls, President Abdul said [i]"I do not have much more to say. Do you have anything more to add?"[/i] President Abdul took aim and fired another arrow. Thud. The tenth bulls-eye in a row. He knew it was about time that he got the range modified to have the targets set farhter away, because being able to hit ten bulls-eyes in a row meant something.

OOC: These might be resistance fighters, but they are still fighting for your nation. Your limit 43,488 soldiers/fighters. Where did 45,144 come from? 10037 - 4601 = 5436 5436*8 = 43488

King Ael'iyon Nahali, I will be sending a diplomat by the name of Anwar. Sadly, he does not have a last name. He was an orphan that was picked up of the streets by a nice Islamic couple and they raised him. He has shown to be extremely calm and can show no emotion if he chooses to. Since his parents were missing when the couple picked him up, the couple didn't have the heart to give hm a last name, so they named him Anwar. I am sure that he will be glad in meeting Sir Asphodel Rayne. His plane took off a few minutes ago. He should be in your country wthin two hours, and should be at the palace within three. Do you have any questions? President Abdul

Presdent Abdul put down his bow and pulled a phone out of his pocket. He dialled a number, the secret extension to the military command. After talking for a minute, he hung up and picked up his bow again. He fired another arrow. Another bulls-eye. He looked at Dellion and said [i]"I will await Lt. General Bari Mustapha. If his reputation is even half as good as you say t is, I know he is a brilliant commander and trainer. I also contacted the command and told to pull all equipment from the soldiers, and that they would be armed when they arrive in Mogadishu. They just managed to pull the equipment before the soldiers departed. If everything goes well, with the ship going at full throttle, they should be at your coast in one hour."[/i] President Abdul knew that he got a lot from Dellion, but he had one final request. [i]"If you think t s suitable, after my soldiers have been trained and the Eastern Federation military is at full force, would you be willing to admit the Eastern Federation into the African Unity Pact? This would help my nation both militarily and economically, since it would bring us some sense of protection and open up our oil to foreign markets. What say you?"[/i] President Abdul was nervous, but he did not show it. This was the turning point of the meeting. This could escalate relations between the two countries, or it could completely destroy them.

Preisdent Abdul set down his bow and went to a phone by the wall. He picked it up, dialed a number and waited for the other side to pick up. After a terse discussion, President Abdul hung up. He turned around and came back to the meeting, picking up his bow at the same time. [i]"I apologize for that, but I was issuing orders to the military. 3,000 soldiers, armed with FN SCARs and Desert Eagles are getting ready for departure. They will be crossing the Red Sea into The Legion by a civilian ship, since my navy is still under construction. They are moving right now, and should be in your country's waters in an hour or two. Please try and not blow them out of the water. They are flying a white flag. If you want to, you can call your government right now."[/i]

To: Tanzanian Government From: President Abdul My country is in the market for 6 nuclear subs. 3 will be attack subs and 3 will be missile subs. They missile subs may or may not have nuclear missile capablities, but must have ballistic missile capabilties. Please base the attack subs off the Astute-Class submarines, and make sure that all the subs can absorb SONAR waves. The missile subs can be based off an original design, as long as it s modern, and by that I mean as modern as possible. Please give me a timeframe and a cost. I know that this is very broad, so I hope you wll enjoy using your imagination. I hope that is ok by you. OOC: I don't have much time, but I will try to add more later. f this is enough, please say that.
