Battlecrab UGV

350 models are currently in possession of the Royal Cossack Ground Forces.

Description

Payload: 300 kilograms (assuming unarmed variant). Crew: None (UGV) Range: 120 km Top speed: 12 kilometers/hour Cost: $150,000 DPR cost: 10 billion

The Battlecrab tracked UGV is a modern, high-technology weapon, designed to support infantry, tankers, and combat engineers in combat operations. It is capable of various forms of movement and fire, and can carry out a range of tasks in combat. While it is not completely autonomous, the Battlecrab has strong partial autonomy systems, enabling it to carry out various actions under the command of a remote operator with only minimal training required.

Firepower: The Battlecrab is equipped with ballistics software, high-definition optronics and IR systems and a laser rangefinder. This allows it to aim any weaponry it’s been fitted with (software packages for common weapon types are available off the Allanean Arms website), essentially reducing the job of the remote operator to selecting a target and aiming the on-screen crosshair at it. A Battlecrab’s fire control system can be set to follow a moving target in a ‘pixel follow’ mode, enabling tracking and engagement of moving targets.

When fitted with a heavy machinegun and Orvani launchers Battlecrab can engage infantry, thin-skinned vehicles IFVs and low-flying aircraft. Anti-tank and MANPAD weapons can also be installed, providing the Battlecrab with an ATGM and even AA capacity as needed. If fire designation is provided from other weapons systems, the Battlecrab can fire to the full range of its weapons, for example shooting the heavy machinegun to 4 kilometers via plunging fire or shooting ATGMs at 10 kilometers.

Propulsion: The Battlecrab utilizes a small diesel engine and a set of heavy industrial rubber tracks to move forward at a speed of 12 kph. It can handle minor obstacles on its own, and is too light to set off most anti-vehicle mines. It is, however, emphathetically not a tank or an AFV, and possesses limited mobility compared to those vehicles. It can, however, carry out auxiliary roles in assisting infantry and other branches of the armed forces in combat, especially in urban warfare.

Armor: The Battlecrab is armored against 7.62mm NATO or lighter ammunition and explosive shrapnel.

Communications: The Battlecrab is controlled via an encrypted, high-bandwidth battlefield communication system, and is designed to be compatible with the common BASTION C3I system. As such, it is highly unlikely that opponents will be capable of seizing control of the Battlecrab.

Cargo: In the cargo configuration, the Battlecrab can carry up to 300 kilograms of ammunition or supplies, entirely replenishing an infantry squad’s supply of ammunition in one go. By this means it can extend the operational range of infantry squads. It can also be used to evacuate casualties, albeit it is not designed to do so and space on the platform is at a premium.

Navaja-class submarine

DPR acquired by the Cossack Royal Naval Forces

Description

To improve its stealth characteristics, the Navaja had several important features installed. Not only was the entirety of the submarine covered in advanced anechoic tiles, but its internal components were also reshaped. All instruments and equipment capable of generating vibration were fitted with advanced vibration absorbers. The propulsion is an all-electric diesel, meaning that the shaft isare powered entirely by an electric generator, using permanent magnets to operate the drive shaft. The submarine is equipped with a fuel-cell based air-independent propulsion system, enabling it to operate for a distance of up to 650 nautical miles (1200 km) with the submarine entirely submerged and the snorkel retracted). A lignum vitae wood mounting is used to house the drive shaft itself, further reducing both the noise produced by the submarine, and the requirements for on-board logistics (the wood naturally excretes resin that lubricates the driveshaft, reducing the need for maintenance throughout travel – the cost of this, however, is the need for a housing replacement 20 years later). Finally, the submarine’s body undergoes degaussing, to minimize detection by MAD equipment.

The Navaja's sensors systems are merged into a single, MGM-168 Delphinus active/passive sonar system, capable for tracking some of the most advanced, low-emission targets in targets. To improve the performance of this equipment, the submarine is also capable of deploying a towed Spermaceti sonar array (named after the sperm whale's echolocation organ). With the active sonar in use, the Navaja can detect enemy submarines at a distance of 20-25 km in shallow waters and 50-70 km in deep waters. At maximum, the Navaja use its passive sonar array to detect enemy submarines at a range of 30-60 km, long-range, stealthy torpedoes at a range of up to 30 km, and surface ships at a range of up to 120 km. (Use of the towed sonar array forces a speed reduction to a maximum of 18 knots).

Furthermore, the Navaja is equipped with automated, digital systems for tracking and analysis of all data from the sonar arrays and management of all weapon systems. These include an Argus-E supercomputer for analysis and improved tracking of the sonar import data, and simultaneous tracking of multiple enemy targets.
