The MECH line of military vehicles was separated into three categories. The first of such categories would be the assault mech, followed by the artillery mech, and lastly, the aerial mech. These machines would revolutionize the capabilities of the United Military by a wide margin, furthering advancing the technology superiority of the wider United World Government.
The first category, the Assault MECH, was a bipedal strike vehicle that would incorporate one pilot within its protective control system. These AM units would be equipped with the latest anti-tank automatic electromagnetic rifle that had been refined to be able to immediately pierced through the barriers of the Magus that had been considered a thorn by the United World Government.
These Assault Mechs were fast, dexterous, easily-deployable, and can be efficiently mass-produced without taking a toll in our resources. They were merely 5 meters tall and weighted about 1.5 ton. Although not heavily armored, the Assault MECH is the most modular vehicle within the line of military vehicles. It was something that the director proudly explained.
The second category, the Artillery MECH, a quadruped strategic artillery vehicle that would be deployed with two pilots. The first one would be operating the movement of the ARM units while the second pilot would be utilizing its complex weapon system. While bulky, the Artillery Mech cannot be considered as heavily armored. Its massive appearance was merely the result of its weight.
The armament of the Artillery MECH was the dual 150mm electromagnetic cannon along with two anti-armor guided missile launchers and a lone chain-gun based CIWS. The size of the ARM unit is 10 meters in height and 15 meters in length, a fairly sizeable war machine. Although the Artillery MECH couldn't be as maneuverable as the Assault MECH, they could be deployable anywhere without the resistance of a hostile terrain.
The ARM unit was as modular as the former vehicle, and it can also be deployed through the air as it can be deployed by specialized transport aircrafts with its humble weight of 20 tons. Naturally, these specialized transport aircrafts would be explained later. At any rate, the Artillery MECH was fairly intriguing as it resembled a spider with four legs.
The third category and the final one was the Aerial MECH. It was a ground support vehicle that could soar through the skies and counter incoming enemy fighters. These MECHs fill in the typical role of attack aircrafts, but could land in a designated area and has the maneuverability of an Assault MECH. The AERM Unit was considered the most complicated.
Pushing aerial capabilities required sacrifice, so the MECH was somewhat lack luster. Although it could be possible, it wasn't something that the United Military immediately needed. The director even spoke out about its deficiencies in combat. Technically, it wasn't better than a attack helicopter gunship, who could provide air support to ground troops.
Abraham was fairly interested about the Aerial MECH as that might form a special unit that would relegated in high-risk tasks. But for now, the current state of the USTF, or the United Special Task Force was enough for the United Military. What they needed now was to bolster the United Army and the United Navy.
"These MECHs are good, but you can temporarily drop the development of the final vehicle and focus on the first two. I need them improved upon and economically while also being militarily viable in half a year. Are you against my preposition, Director?" Abraham calmly questioned, to which the Director shook his head.
"Your words make sense, Sir. I understand the thoughts of developing the vehicles that would assist the United Army the most. I shall follow your orders, Sir. Shall we continue?" The director smile, understanding the thoughts of the Authority.
The reason why the MECH project was created wasn't with the intention of replacing the current armored vehicles. The units would assist companies, battalions, and even squads in the battlefield akin to the creation of the first IFVs. These would also further increased their firepower, especially with the AM units. Who knows what a platoon of AM units could throw towards an adversary.
At any rate, Abraham and the Director continued moving, arriving at the next project. Like the MECH, the middle-aged man gazed upon it in amazement. It was as intriguing as what the reports had told to him a month ago. Anyhow, in front of Abraham was none other than the first warship of the EAGLE project. What was the EAGLE project?
Well, it was the biggest military project of all time.
The EAGLE project aimed to upgrade the warships of the United Navy through gradual overhaul of the military vessels. However, one does wonder. What kind of upgrade does the project present to the warships of the United Navy? The answer was fairly simpler. It stands along with its name.
The project would give the warships the ability to soar through the skies like modern aircrafts. The mere aspect of flight would give them the capability to be deployed anywhere, not merely in the seas. It was a powerful though, even more so when one thinks of the components that could be attached with it.
The first ship that had been upgraded was a lone Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyer, UNS Sea Bearer. It might be the most highly technological ship within the United Navy. Although its size hadn't change, its appearance was akin to that of a spaceship.
The director soon explained that the EAGLE project would probably revolutionize warfare as a whole. If any forces in the modern world could build flying warships effectively and cheaply, they wouldn't hesitate to do so. The obstacles of flying warships were too troublesome, and the former modern militaries had no interest in investing upon it.
Anyhow, the UNS Sea Bearer, now resembling a starship, was equipped with the official versions of OURANOS, HERMES, and AEGIS. The last one was the latest shielding technology of the United Navy, making it the machine the current OURANOS was based upon in its utilization. The AEGIS was capable in deploying small, thick, and precise barriers in the targeted locations of hostile projectiles.
This would give the warship the ability to be protected from harm without the inefficiency and weak shielding of the usual runic shell.
The EAGLE warships were riddled with missile tubes and guided with missile launchers, making it an arsenal of a thousand weapons. Four laser-based CIWS also covered all of its four sides, giving it the ability to destroy projectiles without the AEGIS shielding system deflecting it.
The current Eagle-Destroyer wasn't to be underestimated. It was equipped with various technologies that had been proven within the the R&D Department, along with the anti-gravity propulsion system scattered throughout the hull of the warship. These were vital, and even if damaged, it would merely weakened the flying state of the Eagle-Destroyer.
A 75% destruction rate of the propulsion system would merely steadily glide the ship to the ground, stopping it from falling off the heavens where it soared upon. It was an interesting warship, and many more warships using the same technology would emerge later within the United Navy.
"I'd like to see it fly..." Abraham muttered to himself, and was clearly heard by the director who remarked. "The R&D Department is getting ready for the demonstration with the higher-echelons of the United Navy. After all, we would have to prove its functionality to the United World Government."
"There is no doubt that it would be approve, Director. I am a practical person, and I understand the dangers of the seas the most. Have you heard about the Sea Leviathans?" Abraham asked the director, who calmly nodded. "I have heard about them, Sir. Didn't you fight against them with the UNS Light Bringer? The first warship of the Authority."
"That's right... While we could defeat them, I would rather not waste precious resources fighting against sea beasts." Abraham nodded and uttered his thoughts. The seas outside of the sea region had already been proven to be dangerous. It was for this reason why they only sent reconnaissance aircrafts outside of the country.
Most ships were kept inside, but cargo ships had been gradually trading with nearby friendly nations. Foreign products have been making its way into the market of the United World Government. But the same could be said with its own products. The ease of use and its usefulness would make it popular in foreign countries.
"Trying to take on the natural fauna of this world is resource demanding. It would be better to take advantage of the skies where monstrous behemoths don't exists..." Abraham halted for a moment and continued. "Expect for my wife, of course."
"I understand your reasoning, Sir. I shall include within my speech before the demonstration of the Eagle-Destroyer." The director nodded in understanding, since he knew that the Authority was helping him gain the approval of the United Military.
"At any rate, we shall continue to the last one, Sir. You must be interested about it, after all, the effects of the first one has been directly broadcasted to your office." The director remarked, earning the smirk of Abraham. What the old man was trying to imply was fairly clear.
The newly-developed superweapon of the R&D Department, a bomb that sunk a land of a dozen kilometer in radius, turning it into a deep and abyssal chasm. It was a weapon that brought nothing but disaster without the risk of contamination. Though, it does destroy everything in its wake.
"I shall introduce you to, PLUTON-02!" The director opened his arms, revealing a bomb that was the size of a basketball. To think that it contained the power to sink lands.
