Spacemobile Attack Helicopter v1.0 (TL 9) Copyright (c) 1995 by Onno Meyer This helicopter is a nuclear-powered jack of all trades. It was build to serve as the sole aircraft type of a small spacemobile task force. The helicopter has stub wings with four hardpoints and a turret with a 10mm railgun (ver|cr|6d*15(3)|10|16|3 mi.|10 mi.|3|500|1 KWh) and a minigun (ver|cr|6d*3(2)|4|16|1 mi.|4.5 mi.|60|5,000|0.2 KWh). The BPC armor should resist rifles and small handheld SAMs. Sensors are 18-mile thermographs, a 14-mile ladar, a 5-mile multiscanner and an ALLTV. The helicopter has five troop seats that could be removed for cargo space. The helicopter is a TL09 vehicle [Dec. 93 errata sheet]. Structure: 320 cf advanced XH body (HT 900), maximum load 14.4 tons, good streamlining, sealed body, three retractable wheels (DR 2, HT 50/100), folding combat-stressed rotor (HT 450), advanced controls, a 20 cf chin turret (DR 200L) and two stub wings (HT 225). Propulsion: 5 MW NOTAR helicopter drivetrain (DR 5, HT 50). Power: 5 MW fission power plant (DR 5, HT 75) and 2 MWh rechargeable power cells (DR 5, HT 12), power cell drain 5.5 KW. Accomodations: One normal and five cramped seats, only vision slits. Crew Requirements: One pilot and up to five troopers.

Accessories: Chameleon surface, 17 dischargers, compact fire extinguisher, environmental controls, improved IR cloaking, laser sensors, NBC kit, improved sound baffling, radical stealth, two long-range thermographs (scan 22, DR 3, HT 10, electronics), short-range ladar with rangefinder (scan 20, DR 3, HT 4, in the turret), medium multiscanner (scan 16, DR 3, HT 6, turret), two ALLTVs (+6), virtual panorama, HUDWAC and pupil scanner, two optical genius midget TCs (C4, DR 3, HT 2, electronics), optical minicomp (C4, DR 3, HT 4, electronics), modular design (breaks into three units), two INS (DR 3, HT 6, electronics), two GPS, two secure long-distance radios (DR 3, HT 4, electronics), two IFF, two terrain-following radars, four lasercoms. Programs: Database (106.9 GB recognition guides and maps), datalink, sensor operation (C3, skill 15 or +4), 2*gunner (skill 13 or +3), tactical vehicle operation (skill 14), 2*targeting (C4, +6). Weaponry: Heavy gauss minigun (DR 5, HT 25) with 5,000 darts and 10mm railgun (DR 5, HT 25) with 500 APSSDU darts in autostabilized turret mounts, four hardpoints on the stub wings. Statistics: Cost $3,000,000, design mass 9t, max. payload 5.4t, current load 0.6t, loaded mass 9.6t, size modifier +3 (0/-3 to spot), radar signature -7, IR signature -1, acoustic signature +1. Ground and Water Performance: None. Air Performance: Speed factor 40, top speed 320 mph, acceleration 16 mph/s, deceleration 10 mph/s, MR 6.25, SR 5, ceiling 9,600 yards. And as a special addition the Recon Drone (TL09) v1.0 This recon drone is a low-end military scout aircraft. It lacks really advanced sensors and analysis comps, but it is light enough to be started by a battlesuit throwing it (the drone lacks wheels, too ...). On the plus side, it is really expendable. The drone is a TL09 robot [GURPS Robots first ed.]. Brain: Small hardened brain (3 lbs., 0.06 cf, $2,500, C3). Sensors: Basic sensors with acute vision/5, zoom/5, thermograph, 360 degree vision, radscanner and chemscanner (5.5 lbs., 0.11 cf, $14,000, 95 points). Communicator: Basic communicator with medium radio, lasercom and IFF (6 lbs., 0.12 cf, $3,100, 26 points). Arm Motors: None (-50 points). Propulsion: 15 KW ducted fan (24 lbs., 0.24 cf, $960). Accessory: Inertial compass (0.5 lbs., 0.01 cf, $125, 5 points). Power System: Power requirement is 15 KW. Two rD cells (10 lbs., 0.1 cf, $1,000, -25 points) last for one hour. Subassemblies: Body and two wings. Body Design: Holds all parts and 0.36 cf waste space, 1 cf. Wing Design: Empty, volume 0.15 cf. Area: Body 6 and wings 3 each, total area 12. Structure: Expensive frame (27 lbs., $24,000). Hit Points: Body 9, wings 4 each. Armor: DR 5 metal armor, instant chameleon, seal, stealth and IR cloaking (together 24 lbs., $3,240, 81 points). Statistics: Mass 100 lbs. (0.05 tons), 1.3 cf (3'), $48,925. Body ST 1,196, arm ST 0 (459 points), DX 9 (-10 points), IQ 6 (-30 points), HT 12/9 (5 points). Stall speed 15, air speed 97 (194 mph), can't float (total 70 points). Legality rating 5, point cost 125.
