Gondor R&D
By: Heavenly Paradise Date: June 1, 2015, 11:27 am
---------------------------------------------------------
All of this is in Secret
King Aragorn has ordered research to begin in many military
areas, including naval vessels, war planes, and battle tanks.
Building facilities are being constructed for military
manufacturing, and many jobs have been created for factories.
Shipyards are being built at Port Washington, Gills Rock, Green
Bay, and Two Rivers. More than 100 billion denethor tokens have
been devoted to these projects.
The following vehicles and weapons are currently being
developed:
1. Zumwalt Class stealth destroyers
2. PAK-FA fighter jets
3. T-14 battle tanks
4. S-400 SAM systems
5. Assorted small arms and guided missile launchers
6. Radar installations
7. Anti aircraft guns
8. SPGs
9. LCS combat boats
10. Scorpene class fast attack submarines
11. Stealth bombers
12. VTOL warships
13. AEWACS planes
In addition to all of the resarch, radar installations are being
constructed at key undisclosed points around the state for
monitoring purposes. The naval command base will be in Green
Bay, the first army base will be in Madison, and the strategic
air command will be located at Janesville.

(((OOC: From now on, all my posts here are in secret unless
otherwise stated. It just gets really old after a while to post
In Secret on every post.)))
IC: Deposits of Uranium have been found in undisclosed locations
in Gondor. When news of this was brought to Aragorn, he
immediately ordered military personnel to secure the sights and
begin mining for uranium. The best engineers have been called up
to start building the facilities which will house nuclear
reactors once enough uranium has been stockpiled. Storage
facilities for the mined uranium are also being built. The
enrichment process will begin only when the uranium is in a
large enough amount.
*****
The first scorpene class submarine has been completed and is due
for commission soon. The specific variant is coastal defense at
this point, but other variants are are being developed and
built at the shipyards.
In addition, the first G-35 (PAK-FA) fighter has been built and
is currently being tested for aerodynamic purposes.
Two other fighters that are on the table for possible future
development are the Su-35 and the MIG-35.

A recon plane/interceptor platform is currently being developed,
with the name being arrow. The plane will be for high altitude
surveillance and recon as well as an interceptor for
intercepting things like bombers and large cargo planes carrying
enemy troops or munitions.
A point defense interceptor is also being developed. It will be
used for short range detection and interception missions. It has
been named the katana. Both planes are top priorities of air
force command for the protection of Gondor airspace.
****
While uranium is still being mined and stockpiled at secure
facilities, research is being conducted on how to build and
operate a fission nuclear reactor. Plans are being made once
research is done to build a reactor for a test with a sample
amount of uranium. Construction continues on the facilities that
will house the soon-to-be research and development program for
uranium enrichment and nuclear energy.
*****
Progress also continues on all the projects initiated, and 10
S-400 SAM systems have been completed and will sooner be tested
by using aerial targets such as drones. 15 PAK-FA fighters have
now been completed and are routinely are flying and are being
tested for quality control. VTOL warships are still under
construction, and are a ways away from operational use.
*******
For the radar installations around the state, a special OTH
(Over the Horizon Radar) station is being developed at Gill's
rock for long-range detection purposes. It is projected to have
an operational range of 3,000 km. It will monitor air and sea
movements in and around the state. It is also for height
changes, wind direction monitoring, and detecting maritime
operations. Development is slow on this project, and could take
months.

The first fission reactor has been developed, yet not tested.
Enough uranium has been mined and stockpiled up to this point,
and nuclear scientists are working around the clock in order to
get the reactor online and going. The first test will soon be
undertaken, and outlook on results is seen as positive. As soon
as a fission reaction takes place, then more reactors will be
built and the enrichment process will begin.
*****
Process in the naval shipyard is going well and quickly, with 7
scorpene class submarines being built up to this point. 2 LCS
combat boats have been completed, with 10 more slated to be
built in the coming weeks and months. 1 zumwalt destroyer has
been built, but progress is slow with these expensive vessels.
The development of the zumwalt is a long term project, and this
first one may serve as a demonstrator for the time being.
********
5 stealth G-7 MRFs have been completed at the air bases, and
they are being tested for maneuverability. Avionics and missiles
are being fitted to these planes for testing. The PAK-FA
fighters have proved extremely useful and durable for the
purposes of an ASF. Up to date, 25 of these planes have been
produced.
********
The OTH station is still under construction, with the radar
installations and towers being erected with multiple
construction crews on the clock for work. This massive radar
station will be controlled from a central command station, and
in the future it will be working in conjunction with recon
planes to further the range of interception and early detection.
An additional 2 trillion has been put towards all projects.

The first fission reaction has successfully taken place, and 4
more reactors have been constructed for a total of 5. The
enrichment process has now begun. The shipments of uranium are
highly guarded and disguised to look like something else,
anything really. The shipments are guarded by undercover
military agents and they make sure to watch for any suspicious
activity.
******
With the Uranium now just starting to be enriched, Gondor is
working towards developing a nuclear bomb. Right now all that is
planned is a variety of missiles, but a silo and mobile ICBM are
planned to be used. Bombs are also being drawn up for remote
control detonation and plane drop.
(((OOC: So that no one comments on this, the bombs are in
blueprint stage, which means they are only being designed.
Building comes later.)))
******
The T-12 MBT has made progress, and so far 400 models have been
produced and are headed off to bases. The main purpose of this
is to see how the armed forces like it, and to get a feel for
the brand new tank. Along with the rollout of these tanks comes
the development of an IFV/APC for ground troops. Only a few of
these models have been produced, and are still a work in
progress.
****
Multiple designs have been presented for the interceptor and
point defense interceptor planes, and final designs have been
chosen. Construction of these models has been started, and once
completed testing will begin.
*****
A redesigned version of the A-10 warthog is being developed for
close fix-winged air support. This new model is sleeker and
burns less fuel than its predecessor and will be a key asset to
the army in any future conflict.
*******
The VTOL warships project moves along, with 5 models having been
produced and are in the development and testing phase now. This
ship will be for dropping in troops in hot warzones, and for
giving a secondary form of close air support without being a
fixed wing aircraft.

To this point, enough uranium has been enriched to create a
nuclear bomb. The first bomb tested will be a fission device,
once the bomb is built. Construction has begun after designs
were recently selected. A bomb with a remote trigger will be the
first nuclear device tested. The details of this are all heavily
guarded, and the facility where the bomb is being built is
disguised as a factory. The yield on the bomb is expected to be
somewhere around 100 kt.
Plans are still being worked on for the ICBMs on trucks and in
silos, and several designs are still competing for approval by
the government. Once selected, construction will begin.
******
Up to date, 60 PAK-FA fighters have been produced and 25 G-7
stealth MRFs have been completed. As far as planes go, the
interceptor and point defense interceptor planes have had their
first models constructed, and are simply in the flight testing
stage. Stealth elements are being added to both of these planes
for little detection.
*****
The OTH radar station at Gill's Rock has been completed, and is
projected to be fully operational within a week. This radar
system will be integral in keeping Gondor's territory safe from
things like airstrikes and missiles.
******
An iniative to build ABMs, anti aircraft, anti ship, anti radar,
anti tank, and anti submarine missiles has begun. A specific
anti ship ballistic missile is being developed to take out large
ships like aircraft carriers and large ballistic missile
submarines (Chinese DF-21D).

All the parts to the first bomb have been assembled, and it is
ready. It will be tested in a remote part of the state, and it
will be an underground test. The subterranean area that will
house the test explosion is now being constructed, disguised as
a new mine. No one really travels by this area anyhow, so it is
optimal for testing. The test will occur under cover of night in
a remote area.

The OTH radar station is now complete, along with 9 other
smaller radar installations around the state for a total of 10.
The OTH station is not only the most advanced radar station with
the longest range, it also acts as a central command center for
all the other radar stations. Any important data detected at the
other stations is immediately sent to the OTH station. Radar
jamming capabilities have also been added to every station. Each
station gives off its own jamming signal.

The time had come for the test. It was the wee hours of the
morning in an extremely remote area of Gondor, and civilian
activity had been scarce. The bomb had been lowered into the
underground area where it would be tested, and all military
personnel were disguised as mine or construction workers. The
test area was then sealed, and the bomb was really underground
now.
The radar stations were ordered to begin jamming as much of
Gondor's airspace as they could, and they did. Anyone trying to
see what was going on would be rather confused.
The crews moved away, and the bomb was armed. Once the all clear
was given that no civilians were in the area, the countdown was
set. "Detonation in T minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...."
The explosion rocked the surrounding area, and the ground around
the detonation imploded. The test had been successfully
conducted, in a remote area, at night, and in disguise. Not to
mention the radar jamming. Gondor had gotten the nuclear bomb.

The ICBM designs were recently approved, and a mobile ICBM with
MIRV capabilities and 10 warheads is being constructed. 20 of
these systems have been ordered, and 10 are currently under
construction at secret and secured facilities. This ICBM will be
long range.
