Description

Another derivate of the Champion Mk.II, the Cyhyraeth Mk. I IFV/TSFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle/Tank Support Fighting Vehicle) is a vehicle patterned as a hybrid between a regular IFV and the BMPT “Terminator” line. Featuring the same chassis as the Champion Mk. II, though widened, the side-skirts of the Cardinal Mk. I and additional slat protection to protect the vehicle in an urban environment, with a newly designed turret designed to incorporate new features with a focus on combat in rough terrain or urban environments.

Chassis: Double hull design, with a turtleback-pattern internal hull design, cutouts made for the driver's hatch, engine bay, turret ring and escape hatch on the bottom of the hull, along with cutouts for blowout panels on tank sides and vent tubes at tank top in case of ammunition detonation. Armour values go from inside to outside, unless specified to be a spall liner, in which case it will be on the inner portion of the armour. This variant of the Champion Mk. II hull also features a rear gate for embarking or disembarking troops/crew.

                                                                                             Armour

-(x4) LRMTLS 10” tube launcher system for the LRSM Series of missile. Mounted atop the turret with it’s own ring for independent rotation, Launching the same types of missile as the Cardinal Mk. I SPG.

Long-Range Supersonic Missile Mk. IV (A).- A 451 pound missile, tube-launched, consisting of a cluster munitions warhead, containing up to 30 self-guiding submunitions. The missile is designed to strike against groups of targets, gliding in from above or following the terrain before climbing to optimal height for release. The submunitions are of tandem type, with a self-forging projectile type warhead followed by a shaped charge type, warhead composition being tantalum with 10 pounds of explosives between the two warheads. The warheads also come fitted with fragmentation rings, and a thermobaric charge to aid against soft-skinned targets, with a self-guidance package designed to direct the warheads to strike at a ninety degree angle from the target’s surface. Alternatively, the submunitions can be programmed to act as Anti-Personnel/Anti-Tank mines. The missile is powered by a booster that helps it reach it’s cruise speed of mach 4, with a terminal sprint phase speed of mach 7, capable of performing a rapid pop-up manoeuver or continue with a low-flying approach in it’s last sprint.
Long-Range Supersonic Missile Mk. IV (B).- A 463 pound missile, tube-launched, fitted with an anti-fortification tandem warhead. The initial warhead consists of a self-forging projectile type of warhead, 15 pounds weight with tantalum composition, designed to damage the surface of the target, as to reduce the possibility of a ricochet by creating a crater to be struck by the second warhead. The second warhead consists of a 180 pound (ONC) primary charge and a 100 pound secondary charge (80 pounds ONC, 20 pounds thermobaric mix consisting of thermite along with magnesium and aluminium flakes) plus a thick osmium cap designed to pierce reinforced concrete (Steel, DU, Osmium reinforcements), with fuses set to detonate after penetrating enemy fortifications or structures, with the primary charge designed to push the secondary charge deeper in case of unsuccessful penetration at first, as to maximise damage. Other targets suitable consist of bridge abutments, dams, drydocks and a multitude of other structures, as fuse settings can be programmed to detonate all warheads in unison upon impact or after impact. Use against enemy naval assets is also viable. The guidance package is designed to give the missile a land and sea skimming behaviour during the terminal phase, able to discern target-from-target and decoy-from-target. The missile is powered by a booster that helps it reach it’s cruise speed of mach 4, with a terminal sprint phase speed of mach 7, capable of performing a rapid pop-up manoeuver or continue with a low-flying approach in it’s last sprint.Long-Range Supersonic Missile Mk. IV (C).- A 416 Pound missile, tube-launched, fitted with a semi-armour piercing High-Explosive Thermobaric Incendiary Fragmentation warhead, designed specifically to strike at soft targets with high precision. The Warhead’s total weight amounts to 300 pounds, consisting of 200 pounds of Octanitrocubane, 30 pounds of thermobaric mix (Thermite, aluminium and magnesium flakes, zirconium powder), along with 50 pounds of hollowed out titanium pellets, filled with magnesium powder, 4mm in diameter. To this is added a titanium cap to aid in penetration, along with a titanium sleeve, grooves milled into the sleeve aiding in consistent and even fragmentation. Targets for such a missile consist of airfields, encampments and buildings, as well as enemy vessels and light skinned targets, along with some low-flying targets, as the fragmentation of the warhead poses a danger to most aircraft. The guidance package is designed to give the missile a land and sea skimming behaviour during the terminal phase, able to discern target-from-target and decoy-from-target. The missile is powered by a booster that helps it reach it’s cruise speed of mach 4, with a terminal sprint phase speed of mach 7, capable of performing a rapid pop-up manoeuver or continue with a low-flying approach in it’s last sprint.
Long-Range Hypersonic Surface-To-Air Canister.- A canister containing a single long range surface-to-air missile, designed to provide stopgap and emergency anti-aircraft capabilities up to 360 kilometers range, with a speed of mach 25 , designed to intercept modern Mach 22 capable craft, it uses the gun’s high elevation to assist it at reaching the required altitude, though also being capable of engaging low level targets. The warhead is a small 50 pounds, concentrated on a sleeve, as to provide a wide cone of fragmentation. The missile is also capable of intercepting low flying ballistic threats, though heavily limited by the vehicle’s integrated radar, though linking to a dedicated search and missile guidance radar complex will certainly improve the missile’s performance against faster, manoeuvering targets.

Description

Another derivate of the Champion Mk.II, the Cyhyraeth Mk. I IFV/TSFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle/Tank Support Fighting Vehicle) is a vehicle patterned as a hybrid between a regular IFV and the BMPT “Terminator” line. Featuring the same chassis as the Champion Mk. II, though widened, the side-skirts of the Cardinal Mk. I and additional slat protection to protect the vehicle in an urban environment, with a newly designed turret designed to incorporate new features with a focus on combat in rough terrain or urban environments.

Chassis: Double hull design, with a turtleback-pattern internal hull design, cutouts made for the driver's hatch, engine bay, turret ring and escape hatch on the bottom of the hull, along with cutouts for blowout panels on tank sides and vent tubes at tank top in case of ammunition detonation. Armour values go from inside to outside, unless specified to be a spall liner, in which case it will be on the inner portion of the armour. This variant of the Champion Mk. II hull also features a rear gate for embarking or disembarking troops/crew.

                                                                                             Armour

-(x4) LRMTLS 10” tube launcher system for the LRSM Series of missile. Mounted atop the turret with it’s own ring for independent rotation, Launching the same types of missile as the Cardinal Mk. I SPG.

Long-Range Supersonic Missile Mk. IV (A).- A 451 pound missile, tube-launched, consisting of a cluster munitions warhead, containing up to 30 self-guiding submunitions. The missile is designed to strike against groups of targets, gliding in from above or following the terrain before climbing to optimal height for release. The submunitions are of tandem type, with a self-forging projectile type warhead followed by a shaped charge type, warhead composition being tantalum with 10 pounds of explosives between the two warheads. The warheads also come fitted with fragmentation rings, and a thermobaric charge to aid against soft-skinned targets, with a self-guidance package designed to direct the warheads to strike at a ninety degree angle from the target’s surface. Alternatively, the submunitions can be programmed to act as Anti-Personnel/Anti-Tank mines. The missile is powered by a booster that helps it reach it’s cruise speed of mach 4, with a terminal sprint phase speed of mach 7, capable of performing a rapid pop-up manoeuver or continue with a low-flying approach in it’s last sprint.
Long-Range Supersonic Missile Mk. IV (B).- A 463 pound missile, tube-launched, fitted with an anti-fortification tandem warhead. The initial warhead consists of a self-forging projectile type of warhead, 15 pounds weight with tantalum composition, designed to damage the surface of the target, as to reduce the possibility of a ricochet by creating a crater to be struck by the second warhead. The second warhead consists of a 180 pound (ONC) primary charge and a 100 pound secondary charge (80 pounds ONC, 20 pounds thermobaric mix consisting of thermite along with magnesium and aluminium flakes) plus a thick osmium cap designed to pierce reinforced concrete (Steel, DU, Osmium reinforcements), with fuses set to detonate after penetrating enemy fortifications or structures, with the primary charge designed to push the secondary charge deeper in case of unsuccessful penetration at first, as to maximise damage. Other targets suitable consist of bridge abutments, dams, drydocks and a multitude of other structures, as fuse settings can be programmed to detonate all warheads in unison upon impact or after impact. Use against enemy naval assets is also viable. The guidance package is designed to give the missile a land and sea skimming behaviour during the terminal phase, able to discern target-from-target and decoy-from-target. The missile is powered by a booster that helps it reach it’s cruise speed of mach 4, with a terminal sprint phase speed of mach 7, capable of performing a rapid pop-up manoeuver or continue with a low-flying approach in it’s last sprint.Long-Range Supersonic Missile Mk. IV (C).- A 416 Pound missile, tube-launched, fitted with a semi-armour piercing High-Explosive Thermobaric Incendiary Fragmentation warhead, designed specifically to strike at soft targets with high precision. The Warhead’s total weight amounts to 300 pounds, consisting of 200 pounds of Octanitrocubane, 30 pounds of thermobaric mix (Thermite, aluminium and magnesium flakes, zirconium powder), along with 50 pounds of hollowed out titanium pellets, filled with magnesium powder, 4mm in diameter. To this is added a titanium cap to aid in penetration, along with a titanium sleeve, grooves milled into the sleeve aiding in consistent and even fragmentation. Targets for such a missile consist of airfields, encampments and buildings, as well as enemy vessels and light skinned targets, along with some low-flying targets, as the fragmentation of the warhead poses a danger to most aircraft. The guidance package is designed to give the missile a land and sea skimming behaviour during the terminal phase, able to discern target-from-target and decoy-from-target. The missile is powered by a booster that helps it reach it’s cruise speed of mach 4, with a terminal sprint phase speed of mach 7, capable of performing a rapid pop-up manoeuver or continue with a low-flying approach in it’s last sprint.
Long-Range Hypersonic Surface-To-Air Canister.- A canister containing a single long range surface-to-air missile, designed to provide stopgap and emergency anti-aircraft capabilities up to 360 kilometers range, with a speed of mach 25 , designed to intercept modern Mach 22 capable craft, it uses the gun’s high elevation to assist it at reaching the required altitude, though also being capable of engaging low level targets. The warhead is a small 50 pounds, concentrated on a sleeve, as to provide a wide cone of fragmentation. The missile is also capable of intercepting low flying ballistic threats, though heavily limited by the vehicle’s integrated radar, though linking to a dedicated search and missile guidance radar complex will certainly improve the missile’s performance against faster, manoeuvering targets.

-Magnetohydropneumatic suspension: Much like a regular hydropneumatic suspension, it keeps the vehicle's hull level, absorbing the impacts of rough terrain. It is aided however by electromagnetic means, allowing for a much smoother, silkier ride, permitting the suspension to react quicker to changes in terrain, not to mention the adjustment of height with a full metre of difference between lowest and highest setting. 150 tonne weight limit.

-510 mm wide tracks (ESR AT-450), all-weather, can be fitted with AT-FIE pads for use on highways as to prevent damage to roads.

-Milled ESR AT-450 roadwheels, drive sprocket and front idler wheel, ESR AT-410 return rollers.

-Morse code with the use of other systems (Position lights, lights, rangefinder)

Crew: 4
-Commander
-Loader/Operator
-Driver
-Gunner
-2 AI, one for navigation, one for gunnery. Command vehicles get an additional Operations AI to aid in logistics and coordination with other vehicles/infantry.

Other Features:
-2 and 4 litre volume microwave ovens/boiling vessels, to aid in preparing food and beverages.
-One extra 4 litre volume oven/boiling vessel for passengers.
-Heating and cooling, capable of keeping the crew alive in temperatures ranging from minus 120 to 460 degrees celcius (-184 to 860 Fahrenheit) in sustained conditions (The vehicle however is capable of operating in minus 220 to 550 (-364 to 1022) degrees celcius for up to 72 hours while keeping the crew alive, at the expense of risking damage to certain components)
-Storage for rations, up to two weeks worth for the 4 man crew plus emergency rations (1 week worth of food at reduced caloric intake). Additional storage for passenger supplies up to one week for passengers.
-120 gallons of water in separate compartments (Three 30 gallon reservoirs, two 15 gallon emergency reservoir.) Linked to a water filtration system to allow replenishment on field.
-Each crew position is designed to be as ergonomic as possible, allowing to sleep inside the tank without much issue.
-Battering Ram allows to break through walls and other obstacles without risking damage to the gun, also allows for mounting a plough, mine rollers or to act as a towing hook for other vehicles.
