king of cochin Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Col. Vishwanathan is having the time of his life. His dream was only weeks away from fruition. He was now once again going through simulations of his flight mission. All aspects of the mission are now by heart for this aviator. After extensive physical, psychological and neurological tests he was finally certified fit for the mission. Now was the long wait until the mission started.

The JM2N is designed with greater thrust to weight ratio for assisted take off in a STOL mode. The JM2s have already been inducted into the Royal Cochin Air Force, however the Royal Cochin Navy had waited for more extensive testing in naval environment. Prototype JM2Ns had been deployed with active duty Carriers for extended testing in high seas. RCN had successfully tested JM2Ns in places like, Bosaso, Gangothri, South Atlantic Ocean region etc. The Quarter Master Command has started serial production of the JM2N and the first regiment would be commissioned in 6 months. They would replace the existing regiments of Mig29Ks in RCN Carriers. The Mig29Ks would themselves be used as training platforms in the future. The JM2N production is to be undertaken on a critic priority basis so that after the initial delivery of 50 JM2Ns the complete complement of 300 fighters would be delivered within 18 months.

Sandeep Zachariah ( Quarter Master Command) - Q Maj. Gen. Gokul Varma ( RCSF) - Z Maj. Gen. Vijay Kerala Varma ( Strategic Command) - S Lt. Gen. Mahesh B Iyer ( NIA) - I C: Gentlemen, as you may have noted Progressive Directorate of China has gone into the communist side and would soon be allied to our regional threats, the People's Republic of China and Furon. This is a potentially distressing situation. We have to shore up our defenses in our borders with both PRC and PDC. B: I would suggest that we do not increase any regular army deployments in these borders, but certainly my Border Guards Brigades could be beefed up. We could also start setting up a passive defense network of Hedgehogs and Caltrops over the whole border terrain to deter a land assault. Q: We shall immediately send the necessary supplies to your units, General Seth. C: We should also prepare an immediate priority Special National Intelligence Estimate for all three nations, PRC, PDC and Furon. Lt. Gen. Iyer, I suppose your agency have sufficient information about the PDC aka Southern Tang forces? I: Yes Sir, while they were encamped here during Brasstacks we have monitored them quite thoroughly while also keeping a check on whatever they have noted regarding our forces. F: The Royal Cochin Air Force has certainly changed its doctrines regarding certain aspects of combat so tactical surprise could still be retained in some sectors. C: I also want increased satellite monitoring of the enemy deployments and strategic units. With special attention towards Furon naval bases and air bases. Maj. Gen. Vijay, I want more electronic intelligence satellite coverage over Furon. S: Yes Sir. We shall launch it from the next Pushpak launch. N: Sir, our deployments in Makanrushi may not be sufficient to deter a full on naval attack if Imperial Union were also to join in the war. C: You will have to manage with what you have as the priority mandate for Royal Cochin Navy is the defense of home territories and any such war in East Asia would be a welcome opportunity for our other enemies to attack our territories in Africa and Asia. N: In that case I want the carrier in Makanrushi to have the JM2N as soon as possible. C: Maj. Gen. Zachariah, JM2N production shall be accelerated to war footing. RCN must be provided those assets. Q: Yes Sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, the DT-plants are at roughly 25% completion, with the parts that need to be assembled in Austria being at 87% completion. We would ask that Varuna Mercantile Limited sends six ships, three of which will be utilized immediately after arrival, while the other three will need to anchor for four to seven days until the other parts are finished and ready for transport. The fusion plants are at 9% completion each, with necessary components being assembled right now and at approximately 19% completion. Once 50% are completed, we would request four ships to aid our merchant fleet in the transport of the components. That is all for the time being.

king of cochin Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 ROYAL COCHIN DEFENSE FORCES PRESS RELEASE The Royal Cochin Defense Forces announces its program to upgrade all existing T150s with the new Thunder cannon system. The Thunder has been developed by Quarter Master Command's Research and Testing Directorate and uses Electrothermal chemical technology for its 135mm Main gun. The Thunder uses a Flashboard large area emitter technology for plasma initiation. The Thunder system has a consistent power of 11 MJ of kinetic energy at the time of propulsion of war head and has been found to have better range and firepower than the current 135mm Main Guns. The refitting of the current forces would entail the complete replacement of turrets. Refitting of one tank would take 12 hours of work and these would be carried out the QMC facility in Urumqi. Currently refitting is being done to the T150s currently part of the National Defense Reserves and equipments would be released on a per regiment basis. Army units currently not deployed on PRC front would be issued the new equipment first, Armored Cavalry Regiments before Shock Army Divisions and Mechanized Divisions. It is expected that all the fighting units of Royal Cochin Army would be issued with the Thunder cannon systems within six months. Quarter Master Command is already developing Thunder systems for possible refitting of the Sea Dragon MBTs in service with the Marine Divisions. It is also expected that the entire inventory of 155mm Field Guns and Self Propelled Guns would also be configured with Thunder ECT Cannon Systems within one year.

king of cochin Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 ROYAL COCHIN DEFENSE FORCES PRESS RELEASE The Royal Cochin Defense Forces announces that the Kingdom of Cochin has successfully tested its first Rail Gun. The technology for this weapon has been developed as a joint effort of Quarter Master Command, MetalStorm Industries and Varma Institute for Fundamental Research. The first field testing of the prototype has given an energy yield of 12MJ for 50MJ of energy supplied, propelling a 4kg Tungsten rod to a velocity of 6100 m/s to strike a target at a range of 450 km at a Circular Error Probability of 5 meters. The weapon is not weaponised yet but is expected to boost up the offensive capabilities of Royal Cochin Navy and Royal Cochin Army. Weaponised rail guns would be installed in all Cruisers, Destroyers and Frigates of Royal Cochin Navy and artillery versions would be made for induction into Royal Cochin Army. The Railgun systems are expected to be inducted into RCDF as weaponized platforms in 1 year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a professional point of view, how did you manage to prevent the friction induced heat from deforming the barrels at maximum rate of fire, similar to what would happen in combat scenarios where the weapons cannot be given a few minutes to cool properly?" xxx Classified xxx We have used Carbon composite superconducting metal rods as the principal power conductors. We have also devised a hydraulic cooling system using super cooled liquid helium which through quantum hydrodynamics have been engineered to act as a heat dispenser for the conducting rods. We have been conducting several researches on super conductivity and cryogenic engineering at our facilities in Antarctica . We are also suspending the tungsten armament in a super conducting gel which is made of graphite particles which through superlubricity immensely reduces the frictional force as exists between the armament and energizing conductors. On firing, negligible particles of the gel would stick on to the rod which has found to have negligible effects on the performance of the system as a whole. We have not yet conducted a full weaponized test for the design which would be actually used for combat applications but research towards that end is well underway.
