Royal Cochin Air Force has been authorized to raise and maintain a new organization called the Reserve Air Wing. The Reserve Air Wing would consist of active duty capable aircraft to be maintained at reserve status. Aircrafts designated to Reserve Air Wing status would not be permitted for active combat. The RCAF Squadrons and Regiments currently under Training Command detachment or under foreign service training deployment would also be classed under the Reserve Air Wing classification. Additional squadrons are hereby ordered to be raised under RAW.

New squadrons to be raised:

A10 - 20
Metac AAP - 30
Halob Bomber - 20

The squadrons in Reserve Air Wings shall undergo duty rotation with Active duty squadrons. Training regimen for the Reserve Air Wing squadrons would be at the same level as Active duty squadrons. The inception of Reserve Air Wing is done so that there is a second line of defense and ready access to trained reinforcement in case the active duty squadrons get severely attenuated in a fast developing combat situation.

[king of cochin]

All the T150 Main Battle Tanks in the inventory of Quarter Master Command is about to receive midlife technological upgrading. As the Reserve stock upgrade is completed, the active duty MBTs in Royal Cochin Army inventory would be replaced by these. All Royal Cochin Army units are required to synchronize the upgrading process with the assigned National Defense Reserves Depot. The entire phased upgrading of Main Battle Tanks of Royal Cochin Army is expected to take 18 months during which no combat capability would be lost.

The T100 chassis driven vehicles of Royal Cochin Army would also be liable for similar upgrading immediately after the T150 upgrading program.

[center][u][b]ROYAL COCHIN NAVY INDUCTS GAL PARAVA[/b][/u][/center]

In a statement here at Royal Cochin Naval headquarters at RCNB Ratnagiri, Vice Adm. KP Marakkar, Chief of Naval Staff and Maj. Gen. Sandeep Zachariah, the Quarter Master General announced the formal induction of GAL Parava into the Royal Cochin Navy's Maritime Surveillance Command. An order for 50 Parava has been placed with Gosree Aeronautics Limited to be completed on a priority manner. Formed into four squadrons, these hydrogen fuel cell powered unmanned aircraft would be stationed at RCNB Gosree, RCNB Kavaratti, RCNB Diego Garcia and RCNB Port Blair. The primary purposes of this Maritime Surveillance Regiment would be to maintain continuous aerial surveillance of the Kingdom's territorial waters, to conduct perennial patrol of the Cochin Exclusive Economic Zone and provide early relief to maritime disaster victims. Each Parava would be equipped with 5 Maritime Survival Pod, a revolutionary safety equipment designed by Research and Testing Directorate of Quarter Master Command with the Royal College of Sea Rescue, Mumbai so that even in the most adverse climactic conditions, when flight is impossible for all manner of manned aircraft, the Paravas would be able to provide basic rescue paraphernalia to the stranded mariners. The regiment would be given the call sign PR01.

[u][b]NAVAL RESERVE CORPS SERVICE PLAN[/b][/u]

Royal Cochin Navy hereby announces that from now on the annual three week compulsory service period stipulated for Naval Reserve Corps personnel would be in one of the Training Command (N) Reserve Fleet units. Weapons practice would be conducted at shore or through onboard simulators.

[king of cochin]

[center][u][b]NEW GENERATION CHAFF AND FLARE SYSTEMS[/b][/u][/center]

The Research and Testing Directorate of Quarter Master Command today announced the formal induction of a new range of Chaff and Flare systems to be used by Royal Cochin Air Force and Royal Cochin Navy. Unlike the conventional chaff devices which spread a cloud of small, thin pieces of aluminium, metallised glass fibre or plastic, which either appears as a cluster of secondary targets on radar screens or swamps the screen with multiple returns, the New Generation Chaff (NGC) consists of a small Explosively pumped flux compression generator in a helical configuration that when detonated would produce an extremely powerful magnetic field, about 50T. The directional nature of the Helical configuration would ensure that though the large magnetic pulse would debilitate any Radar guided missile tracked on to the aircraft or ship, the magnetic pulse would not affect the launcher itself. The NGF have been manufactured to the very same size as the current Chaff dispenser capsules as used by Royal Cochin Air Force aircrafts and Royal Cochin Naval vessels hence no structural changes are required for existing systems.

The New Generation Flare is a high energy thermal device which uses White phosphorous, Triethylalumane and Magnesium/Teflon/Viton as the incendiary device for the thermal countermeasure. NGF is also designed to fit the same structural standards as exist for the flare in service with Royal Cochin Defense Forces. The Quarter Master Command has also announced that a ballistic package of these new systems would soon be introduced for use with the Anti Aircraft Artillery batteries of Royal Cochin Army through which the high interdiction properties of NGC and NGF would be expanded to fit the Tactical Air Defense needs of Royal Cochin Army and Border Guards.

[center][u][b]Royal Cochin Air Force Inducts GB8[/b][/u][/center]

Royal Cochin Air Force and Quarter Master Command today announced the induction of the GB8 Passive Attack Weapon into the combat arsenal of RCAF. GB8 is an air dropped guided bomb containing non explosive stainless steel and tungsten kinetic penetrators.

[img]http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/images/wcmd-scenerio.jpg[/img]

Weighing 1000 pounds the GB8 has same aerodynamic flight properties as the GB2 Standard Thousand Pounder bomb. Packing 350 14-in. rods, 1,000 7-in. rods, and 2,400 2-in. rods it is an area suppression weapon.

The weapon was designed in house by Research and Testing Directorate of Quarter Master Command according to tactical necessity dictated by Royal Cochin Air Force and Royal Cochin Army as per analysis from the recently concluded divisional exercises in NTC Jaisalmer. While flechette munitions in general are used commonly in mortar teams and artillery units of Army, this is for the first time that flechette munitions are being used in an air deployed manner. QMC officials have stated a larger 2000 pound design is being designed with depleted uranium tipped rods for greater penetration against hardened and armored targets as well as a larger Ballistic Payload to be implemented in Tactical and Intermediate Range missiles. Warheads are also being developed in parallel for the KUB2 cruise missiles as well as for Bali Area Defense Systems munitions.

The full range of flechette munitions are expected to be inducted within 6 months and to be uniformly deployed to active duty forces within a year.

[center][u][b]RCAF TRANSPORT COMMAND EXPANDING FLEET[/b][/u][/center]

Royal Cochin Air Force has awarded two monumental contracts to Gosree Aeronautics Limited to construct two of the largest aircrafts ever designed in the world for induction into the three new regiments of Transport Command. While Transport Command is currently consisting of 70 regiments (3500) of Halobs, 100 regiments (5000) of Merat and 150 regiments (7500) of Metac, the need for specialized squadrons of Ultra Heavy Cargo Carriers have been felt by RCAF for strategic purposes as well as for disaster relief purposes. Though the current fleet of transport aircrafts, one of the largest in the world potentially larger than the other nearest competitors combined have sufficient tonnage and reach for almost any purposes, Royal Cochin Air Force has determined that these two new aircrafts would further solidify the logistical capabilities of Royal Cochin Defense Forces. The two designs are the product of years of joint effort by RCAF and GAL in one of the most beneficial partnerships in Cochin's defense industry.

[u][b]GAL Nemesis 225[/b][/u]

The GN225 was designed to replace the HALOBs currently in service with Cochin Space Research Organization as transporters of over sized cargoes such as space shuttles, rockets and satellites. Capable of carrying ultra-heavy and oversize freight, up to 250,000 kg internally, or 200,000 kg on the upper fuselage it can also carry cargo upto 70 metres long on its upper fuselage. Powered by 6 GIP D-18T turbofan engines GN225 has a maximum gross weight of 640 tonnes.

Gosree Aeronautics Limited has received orders to deliver one squadron of 15 GN225s to RCAF, though it is expected that a full regiment of 50 GN225s shall be ordered in all by RCAF. GAL has also received orders from Air Gosree, Vayudoot and Kingfisher airlines for the GN225.

[u][b]GAL Pelican[/b][/u]

It is a ground effect fixed-wing aircraft. Having a wingspan of 500 feet (150 m), a cargo capacity of 1,400 tons (1,300 metric tonnes), and a range of about 10,000 nautical miles (18,000 km), GAL Pelican would be the largest and heaviest freight cargo aircraft in the world. Powered by four turboprop engines, its main mode would be to fly 20–50 ft (6–15 m) over water, though it would also be capable of overland flight at an altitude as high as 20,000 ft (6,100 m) albeit with a decreased range of about 6,500 nautical miles (12,000 km). It would operate from conventional runways, with its weight distributed over 38 fuselage-mounted landing gears with 76 wheels. The GAL Pelican is powered by four GPD 2740 turboprop engines specifically designed for Pelican by GAL. Delivering a whopping 34000 horsepower of Maximum power output, GPD 2740 is the largest turboprop aircraft ever to be built.

[center][u][b]RCAF Expands Strategic Offense Program Inventory[/b][/u][/center]

Royal Cochin Air Force today inducted into its arsenal a new warhead package for the Strategic Offense Program. Similar to the Facility Destruction package of SOP, this Area Saturation Package consists of 4 GB8X Passive Attack Weapons. The GB8X is the 2000 pound variant of the successful 1000 pound GB8 Area Destruction Flechette weapon which was developed by Quarter Master Command. The new weapons package is being speedily inducted into RCAF and SOP batteries are even now receiving the weapons. A larger single unit payload for IRBMs in SOP duty is also being developed which would consist of a greater variety and concentration of flechettes for area saturation attacks.

[king of cochin]

The first service operational flight by GN225 was completed today by Col. William Ignatious and Lt. Col. Jahangir Alam as the flying officers from Naval Air Station Kanyakumari to the Air Force Base Urumqi, a distance of 4100 kms. This maximum payload flight was conducted with a payload of 4 T150 Main Battle Tanks belonging to the Third Marine Division destined to the Tatra Chassis Works in Urumqi. The flight with the hitherto largest ever operational cargo carried by RCAF validated the capabilities of the HG0101 Squadron.

[king of cochin]

It would be one the most audacious flight tests ever to be conducted by Royal Cochin Air Force. The first GAL Pelican inducted into the Transport Command's PH01 squadron embarked upon a 9700 km flight from FAB Altay in Xinjiang to Naval Air Station Crozet carrying 1400 tons of cargo. This extended mission would be supported by two Merats as well as a Jadayu Mk.2 for observation. The greatest challenge of the flight would be crossing the Himalayas with its very low flight ceiling of 20,000 feet. A flight route had been plotted through the Gangothri pass to cross from Tibet to the Subcontinent plains. Maintaining a constant 15,000 ft altitude over the subcontinent the Pelican crossed over to Arabian Sea north of Goa. The low flying behemoth became a spectacle for hundreds of tourists on the beach. A few nautical miles off the coast the Pelican was brought to 50 ft elevation where the ground effect would swing into action. The speed picked up and it was a smooth flight all the way upto NAS Crozet.

Landing at NAS Crozet however proved to be a problem with the length of the runway far shorter for the Pelican which was flying in with the aid of a speeding tail wind. Though most of the cargo were jettisoned on the final approach on the runway, the Pelican disasterously overshot the runway and crashed back into the sea wall. The flight crew though injured managed to escape the aircraft just before it exploded into a fireball.

Though laced with tragedy, the GAL Pelican has proved its worth as the heaviest transport aircraft in the world.
