Description
The Hydra-7 Mobile Air Defense System is the company’s answer to covering the needs of independent operational units on the field. A double independent chassis system based on the Cyhyraeth Mk. I hull, the unit consists of a primary hull housing the crew and short-to-medium range weapon systems and a shorter secondary hull housing the long range weapon systems.

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.

                                                                                        Armour

-H20/40HC: 20 Cylinder, 40 litre engine with an ‘H’ cylinder configuration, 5002 Horsepower, 8812 NM Torque @ 2100 RPM. Multi Fuel capability, no adjustments required. The HC denotes ‘High Compression’ as the engine is fitted with larger displacement superchargers and an extra turbocharger with hydraulic assistance from the engine’s APU.

-T120 APU: APU turbine, 150 horsepower, 316 NM torque @ 50,000 rpm

-9 speed, heavy duty, robotic assisted transmission with preselector, 2 backwards, neutral/steer, 6 forwards.

The HFV-S Pack is considered a single unit, and thus can be removed directly without the need to separating each component

-AEPT: Auxiliary Electric Powertrain, 16 electric motors powering the roadwheels as well as the drive sprocket, providing 500 HP and 3500 NM Torque, connected to a battery pack. Tank hull can act as a massive solar panel, as well as taking ambient and engine heat to produce further energy.

-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.

Performance:

Maximum Speed On Road: 58 km/h (36 mph), 31 km/h (19.3mph) reverse.

Maximum Speed Off Road: 48km/h (29.8 mph), 20 km/h (12.5mph) reverse.
Maximum Speed fully submerged: 14km/h (8.6 mph)

Maximum Speed AEPT Only: 16 km/h (16 mph)
Maximum Speed APU Only: 8km/h (4.9 mph)

Operational range: 900km +280 km if external tanks are used.

                                                                      Communications Systems

-Low/High Frequency Radio: 50km range, 128 bit encryption on the move.

-Satellite Communications Suite (SatCommS): high speed data transfer (Video/Audio capable, Command Vehicles get two)

-Low Frequency High-Security: 10 km range, 256 bit encryption on the move.

-UHF Short-Range: 5km range, 128 bit encryption on the move, designed to communicate with infantry in specific.

-ChessMaster Mk. IV Command System (Command Vehicles only): Permits access to information taken in by the optics and sensors of other vehicles, allowing a platoon commander to better direct his men. 256 bit encryption on the move.

-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.

Dimensions and weight:

-6.3 to 8.6 metres height (Depending on suspension settings, radar deployment.).

-6.8 metre width

-16.4 metre length, 19.1 with battering ram (Battering ram can hydraulically extend another metre). Second Chassis adds 10m length

-84 tonnes combat ready (98 with extra equipment such as additional armour, accessories and fuel tanks)
