Apollo ADS

With the HASF's powerful air dominance strategy in mind, the UEC proceeded to develop an advanced surface-based air defense system. Taking elements from the MIM-104 PAC-2+, MIM-104 PAC-3, Aster-30 1B, Aegis ABM, S-400, and TienKung-IV (from India), they devised a brand new weapon system to reliably engage multiple enemy aircraft at standoff range.

Mounted on a massive Indian 64-wheel truck with eight stability braces, the ground-based version of the Apollo ADS consists of two such trucks, each a fully operational TELAR.

1 VEHICLE

Capacity[]

None.

Sensors[]

The Apollo ADS mounts a massive retractable L- and X-band AESA radar, able to pick up the signs of a F/A-44 at a distance of 200 kilometers.

Anti-Surface Weaponry[]

None.

Anti-Aircraft Weaponry[]

Longbow SAM (15)[]

On the vehicle's bed, a 15-missile battery contains Longbow SAMs. The Longbow SAM is a missile that delivers a three-missile payload to a maximum of 20,000 feet and 200 kilometers. From there, three sub-missiles, each a rocket-boosted SCRamjet-powered semi-active radar-guided missile (with terminal IR guidance for increased precision), can go out and strike three independent targets. Each sub-missile slices through the air at a blistering Mach 12, making them lethal to smash into. Which is what each missile intends to do.

Weaponry[]

Lethality Enhancer[]

To provide a bigger punch than “just” a 300-kilogram missile smashing into an aircraft at Mach 12, each Longbow SAM's sub-missiles can be loaded with a 10-kilogram delayed-action incendiary warhead to smash into an aircraft, spreading 3000K thermite at the same time.

Protection[]

The Apollo ADS is mounted on an unarmored 33-meter long truck. It does mount fire-fighting grenades, fail-safe thermite grenades, and smoke grenade launchers.

Locomotion[]

The Tata SH-8080 the land-based Apollo ADS is built off of is powered by three independent 12.0 Liter quad-turbocharged (with variable intake fan angle to preform ideally in low-RPM or high-RPM conditions) Biodiesel V-16s that pump out a respectable 2500 bhp with 6700 N of torque each, totaling a massive 7500 bhp and 20,000 N of torque. From there, it's off to a massive Lithium-polymer battery back placed in between the chassis's frame, where it redirects the electricity to hub motors (16 in total) that move four-wheel locomotion modules. This provides the 900 ton truck with the ability to roll on a road at 65 kilometers per hour.
