Subject: Re: DS2: Design questions of my own.
After further consideration, and taking into account the suggestions
and
observations I have received, here is the winning design submission in
the
MBT competition for the Republic of Cascadia/Cascadian Armed Forces
MTT-15A
Kodiak. The design was submitted not by a manufacturer but by an
independent design firm. After bidding to construct it, the governemnt
decided to award bids to both Boeing Cascadian AND Kenworth.
MTT-15A
Class 4 Fast Tracked, FGP
Armor 4, Stealth 3, Superior ECM & FireCon
MDC 5
Sup PDS
APFC
Now on to the next question: IFV/MICV design. Requirements are
capacity
for 2 infantry elements, good support vs infantry and vehicles, and good
protection. Fast tracked base.
Current competitors:
Bid V/I-X-1
Class 4 HMT
Armor 4R Stealth 2
Superior Systems
2 Infantry
GMS/H
MDC 2
Bid V/I-X-2
Class 4 HMT
Armor 4R Stealth 2
Superior Systems
2 Infantry
DFFG 3 (Justified by the close-in nature of much terrain, and the fact
that
they will work cloely with the big guns of the kodiak)
EPDS
Thoughts?
