PRIVATE:

 

Due to record high defense budgets for the past several years, the National Parliament has cut the defense budget by a decent amount. The Defense Forces will be replacing "high-tech" pieces of equipment with more affordable ones. The Air Force will be removing the F-35A fleet from service and replacing them with Rafale MRF. F-35B/C variants will remain in service with the navy and marine corps with possible assistance from American technicians and engineers. 4 squadrons of F-22s will also be taken out of service and will also be replaced by Rafale MRF under the same terms said above.

 

TO: American Commonwealth Department of Defense

FROM: Ministry of Defense

 

To whomever it may concern,

 

The Ministry of Defense along with the several branches of the Defense Forces request technical and engineering support from your armed forces and private corporations in order to maintain our current fleet.

Due to further budget cuts in the defense budget 2 squadrons of F-35Cs from each of the 3 carriers will be decommissioned. They will be replaced by the Rafale Carrier Version. For carrier operations, the M model has a strengthened airframe, longer nose gear leg to provide a more nose-up attitude, larger tailhook between the engines, and a built-in boarding ladder. Consequently, the Rafale C weighs about 500 kg (1,100 lb) more than the Rafale MRF.

HIGHLY CLASSIFIED:

 

The Navy has decommissioned all Freedom-Class Frigates which will now be replaced by the Gladiator-Class Frigate. It is a highly advanced air-defence and command frigate. For this role the ships are equipped with an advanced sensor and weapons suite. The primary sensors for this role are the long range surveillance radar SMART-L and the multi-function radar APAR. The SMART-L and APAR are highly complementary, in the sense that SMART-L is a D band radar providing very long range surveillance while APAR is an I band radar providing precise target tracking, a highly capable horizon search capability, and missile guidance using the Interrupted Continuous Wave Illumination (ICWI) technique, thus allowing guidance of 32 semi-active radar homing missiles in flight simultaneously, including 16 in the terminal guidance phase. The primary anti-air weapons are the point defence Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile and the area defence SM-2 Block IIIA. The Mk 41 Vertical Launch System is used to house and launch these missiles. 32 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile and 32 SM-2 Block IIIA are carried.

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) has recently acquired the Angel-Class Vehicle Cargo Ship. It is currently the fastest cargo ship in the world, capable of speeds in excess of 33 knots. These ships are roll-on/roll-off and lift-on/lift-off ships equipped with on-board cranes and self-contained ramps which enable the ships to off-load onto lighterage which anchored at sea or in ports where shore facilities for unloading equipment are unavailable. The vessels are specially suited to transport heavy or bulky unit equipment such as tanks, large wheeled vehicles and helicopters. The MSC will operate 9 of these vessels. Combined, all nine Fast Sealift Ships can carry nearly all the equipment needed to outfit a full Army Infantry Division.The MSC also operates the Support-Class Replenishment Ship.

 

General characteristics
Displacement:  55,350 tons
Length:  946.2 ft (288.4 m)
Beam:  106 ft (32 m)
Draft:  37 ft (11 m)
