A stealth aircraft carrier, multiple rocket system, UAVs and other prototypes at SisMiGreat news is being developed at the military level. The confederation expects to spend around 7% of GDP in the coming years and several civil companies have developed prototypes for the annual SisMi forum and took the opportunity to showcase their products.
The stealth aircraft carrier made a great impression on the press. The model depicts a light carrier with a main runway, and two secondary. According to the company Pix, designer of the project, would have the same footprint as a freighter on a radar, so it would be excellent for missions to escort convoys in times of war. However, the ship did not seem to motivate the navy too much. "Having an aircraft carrier is a pride for any nation. We want something big, not camouflage it," said an admiral invited to the exhibition. Anyway, the company explained that, with the necessary funds, could develop this CV in about 10 years. Pix until today is recognized for its fishing boats, and its military development is very promising.
The company Explorator developed its military division and, despite the inexperience, they managed to develop their first vehicle for this event. The A-100 is an artillery system of multiple launch rockets. It is based on a high mobility prototype truck chassis of the company with 8x8 configuration. Although it only has 10 launchers, the manufacturers insist that it could have more than 30 launchers. The main motivation for the purchase is the caliber (300 mm) and its range (more than 120 km). The army was very interested in buying the project and developing an updated version.
The tornado is a short-range rocket system. However, it is still powerful. The Tornado rockets are equipped with cluster warheads with self-guided multipurpose submunitions. These have a range of 30 km and can be used against enemy infantry and armored vehicles. There are also rockets with HE-FRAG warheads. These have a range of up to 40 km. However, in practice the Tornado is an updated version of LAROM. Its main mission is to focus on enemy infantry and armored vehicles. Its manufacturer, CDG, has received the first massive order.
Doubling the bet, Vulpe Masina, developed its own APC system (armored personnel carrier), the XA-203. The vehicle is not amphibious, unlike its predecessor the APC-70. It only has a machine gun of 12.7 mm but its autonomy is double and its maximum speed is greater than its predecessor. According to the manufacturer, this vehicle is not amphibious due to the increased protection of the armor. Kizarm has been interested in buying the model to develop an improved version. In the army they are very excited with the joint development.
After the success of Martivaros Class Support Ship, CDG, proposes a new challenge. A more powerful and larger ship with a new propulsion, nuclear reactors. The ship could have up to a displacement of 81000 tons (4 times larger than the current model) at full load, 320 meters in length (100 more than predecessor) and a speed of around 30 knots. The main challenge of the nuclear carriers of the confederation is the number of reactors (and the maintenance price). In fact, the two current aircraft carriers have 8 reactors. CDG designed for this model a new model of nuclear reactors, which would reduce its number by half. The manufacturer promises that the final model will triple the load capacity and will have a range of 25 years. From the navy they are very enthusiastic and foresee 3 boats and the completion of the first in 10 years.
After more than 20 years, taxpayers can know the first prototypes of the Neurona. The project, in fact, has several stages, demonstrators of technology and prototypes. The first UAVs were designed for recognition and they are currently active. The second Tier, includes intelligence and surveillance. The new prototypes that await approval for mass production, integrate greater range and tactical attack capacity, with 2 hardpoints. The UCAV presented to develop in this opportunity has 7 hardpoints. A version for the navy has a range of 25 hours and 4 hardpoints. The manufacturers claim to have designed the new generation, which is powered by a turbofan engine. Finally, the last designed tier has the wingspan of a manned aircraft, with stealth technology and capacity for guided bombs. The air force, too, awaits the approval of its project for a military aerial refueling aircraft. The UCAV project cost more than 500 NED billions in its more than 20 years, and the 4 military companies are focused on its development. However, according to the critics of the controversial project it still takes at least 20 years and 500 billions NED more, to complete it. Even the latest versions suggest that the space agency is secretly participating with other small contractors.
