E.B.S.I.S. Special Munitions

Mecha Gun Pods:

AKGSh-301 30mm Gun Pod The AKG-301 is a GSh-301 single barrel 30mm autocannon with evaporative cooling system and a 150 round helical link-less ammo feed in a pistol gun pod. capable of firing in single shot or 3 and 5 bursts, the AKGSh-301 provides a simpler alternative to the heavy GU-11 gun pod, albeit at a reduction in total firepower. The AKGSh-301 gun pod masses 1060lbs/480kg fully loaded (the cannon itself massing a mere 101lbs/46kg), and has an effective range of 6000ft/1800meters. A modular mounting for the grip allows for use by both large and small mecha with only minor modification. Aircraft optimized versions of this gun pod are available, replacing the pistol grip attachment with pylon connectors for under wing or under fuselage mounting.

AKGSh-303 30mm Gun Pod The AKGSh-307 is a heavier rifle gun pod equipped with a three barreled GSH-303 30mm Gatling fed from a 300 round detachable magazine. With 10 and 20 round burst fire modes, the Gunpod can empty a magazine rapidly, and inflict high damage. The weapon has an effective range of 4000ft/1219meters, and masses 1800lbs/816kg fully loaded. (each magazine masses 595lbs/270kg) The AKGSh-303 greatly resembles the EU-13 energy gun pod used by United Earth Expeditionary Force mecha, which when it was unveiled led the Baltic States to level accusations of intellectual property theft and for the producer of the AKGSh-303 to file multiple lawsuits with the U.E.G. copyright courts, all of which were dismissed without investigation.

Munitions:

PG-12 Ugroza 73mm guided rockets. (Mini-Missile)

The Baltic States has developed a series of 73mm x 290 mm (2.874 x 11.6 inch) guided rockets, with a variety of warheads and guidance systems. These weapons are equivalent to Mini-missiles, but being larger than U.E.G. Mini-missiles carry guidance systems and larger rocket motors, giving higher accuracy and range. (2.75 miles/4.4km) five Guidance systems are available, Electro-optical, laser homing, Infrared Homing, Semi-active Radar, and Anti-Radiation. Standard Warheads are High Explosive Dual Purpose (HE), Tandem High Explosive Anti-Tank (AP) White Phosphorus (equivalent to Plasma, but 1/2 the damage and twice the blast radius), Flechette (Fragmentation), Continuous rod (frag), and Smoke. The PG-12 series of rockets can be fired from any E.B.S.I.S. 73mm rocket pod, the SPG-9 Kopye (Spear) man portable recoilless rifle, the 2A28 Grom vehicular recoilless cannon, or any 73mm rocket system.

    • PG-12A (Unguided, HEDP)

    • PG-12N1 (Electro-Optical, HEAT)

    • PG-12V1 (Electro-Optical, Flechette)

    • PG-12N2 (Laser homing, HEAT)

    • PG-12V2 (Laser homing, Flechette)

    • PG-12D (Unguided, White Phosphorus)

    • PG-12sM (Unguided, Smoke)

    • AA-24/SA-24 (IR guided, Continuous rod)

    • AA-25/SA-25 (semi-active radar, Continuous rod)

    • AA-26 (Anti-Radiation Homing, HEDP)

AT-20 Saber 125mm Missile system. (Short Range Missile) EBSIS sort range missiles are derived from the AT-8 Songster (9K112 Kobra) and AT-11 Sniper (9M119 Svir, 9M119M Refleks) missiles developed by the Soviet Union during the cold war. capable of being fired from the 125mm guns of the T-72 Tank and it's successors, the 125mm missile platform was adopted for logistical standardization. Comparable to a UEG short range missile, EBSIS 125mm Missile systems are narrower but longer in length, and are designed to divide into two easy to attach components for storage in tank auto loaders. 125mm missile systems have been refitted into all pre-war mecha, and are the standard for all E.B.S.I.S. combat vehicles. The AT-20 system has 6 guidance methods available (Laser guidance, Electro-optical, IR homing, Semi-active Radar, Anti-radiation, Active Radar) and 6 warhead types (High Explosive Dual Purpose (HE), Tandem High Explosive Anti-Tank (AP) White Phosphorus (equivalent to Plasma, but 1/2 the damage and twice the blast radius), Flechette (Fragmentation), Continuous rod (frag), and Smoke.) The effective range is somewhat higher than UEG missile systems, due to larger rocket motors (2.75 miles/4.4km, achieved at the expense of lighter protection, only 2 M.D.C.) the AT-20 missile system is not directly compatible with UEG launcher systems, although custom sabot's can be employed to fit 125mm AT-20's into standard UEG launchers in an emergency.

AIM-120Cb Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (Medium Range Missile)AIM-120Eb Surface Launched Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile Extended Range Originally developed in the late 1980's to replace the aging AIM-7 Sparrow missile, the AIM-120 AMRAAM became a standard air to air munition for the United States and NATO. When the Polish Airforce modernized with the F-16 Falcon, it obtained access to the AMRAAM as well. After the Rain of Death, the newly formed E.B.S.I.S. funded programs to reverse engineer and clone the missile. The first new AMRAAM came off the production lines in 2016, with the the SLAMRAAM-ER deployed in 2018. The AMRAAM has continued to be a primary air to air missile for the Baltic States and their allies, although it remains a non-export item.

the AMRAAM is a 335 pound (152 kg) medium range active radar guided air to air missile with a range of 65 miles (104km) and a Fragmentation warhead. The Missile can be employed as a fire and forget weapon, but is designed with a two stage guidance system, that uses targeting data from the firing unit to determine initial intercept course, and data sent over a radio link from the firing vehicle or an Elint platform to provide mid course corrections to improve the chance of intercept (gains to strike bonuses from the firing unit as well as on board bonuses). If enemy jamming disrupts that link, the Missile will switch to home-on-jamming mode, tracking the jamming transmissions (uses only on board bonuses). the Firing unit may also choice to fire the missile in Home-on-jamming mode, allowing it to be employed as an improvised anti-radar munition.

The SLAMRAAM-ER is a longer ranged surface launched model intended for use as a surface to air missile. It has a heavier engine that gives it a range of 110 miles (176km), but which increases the weight to 500 pounds (227.5kg). The SLAMRAAM-ER is not intended for use by aircraft, and would require software updates to interface with aircraft targeting systems.
