Marauder-class

The anti-aircraft variant of the Sea Shadow. Coming in large numbers and with potent anti-aircraft missile weaponry, these things are hard to counter.

Internal Designation: Air Defense Boat

Classification: Cruiser

Displacement: 100 Tons

Number: 800 in 2054

Purpose[]

The Marauder-class is designed to fight in a littoral battlezone, able to fulfill the anti-air role.

Capacity[]

None.

Sensors[]

The Marauder-class carries a commercial navigation radar and a pop-up circular OWS AN/SPY-8088 X- and L-band AESA for fire control.

Anti-Surface Weaponry[]

None.

Anti-Aircraft Weaponry[]

SL-Dart MRAAM (36)[]

The surface-launched variant of the Dart differs from the airborne-launched variant only in the booster- the SL-Dart gets an additional compressed gas “cold launch” booster. The Dart Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile is the modern folding-fin version of the AIM-120 AMRAAM. Packing a rocket-boosted ramjet motor, inertial and terminal radar guidance, a vector thruster, and a 50lb pre-fragmented warhead, the Dart MRAAM is capable of hustling through the air at Mach 7, and strike a target 170 kilometers away.

Anti-Submarine Weaponry[]

None.

Upgrades[]

Active-Passive radar array[]

Working with another fellow ship with this upgrade, the two (or more) Marauders can work with one radar working active detection, and another dedicated to passive detection, increasing the ability to detect an enemy aircraft.

Protection[]

Passive[]

The Marauder-class is protected from anything up to 20mm AP shells via Naval Composite Armor, a potent aluminum-ceramic-Kevlar blend. Fully waterproof compartments and a massive array of firefighting and leak-fixing tools are spread all over the ship. It is also shaped to significantly reduce its RCS, to reduce detection and lock-on by anti-ship missiles.

Active[]

Guided weapons can be jammed by the onboard E/O jammer or chaff and flares dispenser.

Locomotion[]

The Marauder-class is powered by an Indian or Brazilian-built gas turbine burning JP8, which allows the 100-ton boat to cruise through the sea at 30 knots. Maximum range 100 nautical miles.
