HMCP IV2

Heavy Mortar Carrier. It is a member of the HMCP family.

Named after NAU Supreme Commander Manfred Waffen of WW3, who successfully deployed heavy mortar artillery in mobile fire tactics that confounded Russian counter-battery MLRS.

1 VEHICLE

Capacity[]

None.

Sensors[]

All HMCP I are fitted with two E/O cameras mounted low in the front, an E/O camera mounted in each hatch, and six other cameras giving it 360-degree awareness of its surroundings. The HMCP IV2's turret carries a laser designator, environment sensors to detect windspeed and calculate ballistic trajectories, indirect sights to pinpoint a target.

Anti-Surface Weaponry[]

2A200 240mm NLOS[]

The only non-MAWS electromagnetic mass accelerator fielded by the HASF, the 2A200 is a No-Line-Of-Sight Gauss mortar that can hurl a 30-kilogram shell to 20 kilometers. The shell normally consists of thermobaric explosives combined with a tough of thermite to really turn up the heat. 40 240mm mortar rounds can be carried internally.

Anti-Aircraft Weaponry[]

Although there are records of mortars scoring hits on aircraft, the HASF doesn't want to set any world records in unconventional ways.

Upgrades[]

Weaponry[]

PDM[]

To provide the HMCP IV2 with a infantry deterrent, it can be equipped with a Point Defense Microwave to either inflict incapacitating non-lethal pain, or incapacitating lethal pain. It is also effective in igniting liquid fuels and can be used to overheat the electronic wiring in a guided projectile, making it able to act as a hardkill ECM.

RACER[]

To provide the HMCP IV2 with serious anti-tank firepower at close range, where artillery units are normally most vulnerable, the 2A200 can be equipped with the Rocket-Assisted Chemical Energy penetratoR round, which can inflict massive damage to an armored vehicle by its 30-kilo tandem shape charge. Almost nothing can stop something that big.

Protection[]

CCDK-H[]

The vast majority (~90%) of the Human Alliance's population lives in cites. Therefore, urban combat is the main place where HASF forces would fight. As a result, HASF has created a Heavy variant of the Close Combat Defense Kit for its HMCP Is. It includes Aluminum-Kevlar rear and side skirts, ElRA blocks over the vehicle's front glasis, a turret fender, gun spaced armor, and a multipurpose hardened steel bulldozer to push aside things that get in the way.

Protection[]

HMCP Is are clad in Next Generation Composite. It ranges from 2200mm RHA-equivalent glasis plating to 400mm RHA-equivalent top armor, but it can always stop a 40mm STW round, and at its maximum (front glasis plate), can stop a 140mm Rocket-Assisted Advanced Long Attack Range Munition (RA-ALARM) fired at point blank range. It also has a GUARDIAN ECM suite that covers both E/O jamming and 25-barrel Metal Storm turrets that fire 9mm caseless that shred incoming missiles with ease. The operator compartment is sealed off from the rest of the vehicle, and is cocooned by a fullerene- ceramic “bathtub”. It has a composite v-shaped undercarriage that not only diverts an explosion under the vehicle outward, but also flexes instead of shattering if pushed beyond its mechanical strength.

Locomotion[]

All vehicles of the first generation of High Mobility Combat Platform are powered by a universal hydrogen-powered (but biodiesel-capable) 6.0 liter QOHC flat-12 internal combustion engine. It recharges the vehicle’s large high-energy-density lithium-ion battery block sitting at the bottom of the chassis, or directly powers the vehicle’s four 500-hp electric motors. Mated to an electronic 8-speed transmission (with three gears for going backwards), the motors can get any HMCP, including the 40-ton MBT/Arty variant, to 120 kmph on paved roads.
