Artemis IV FCS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ==Overview:== Though one of the most familiar 'Mechs in the Inner Sphere, the Archer will soon be one of the most unpredictable because of the variety of versions nearing production. The Free Worlds League model features double heatsinks and Endo Steel internal structure. The weight savings allows it to carry Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment, an extra half ton of armor, and the Artemis IV fire-control system to improve the accuracy of its missiles. In the Free Rasalhague Republic, the Satalice factory of Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises is nearing completion of the retooling necessary to produce the ARC-5R. It has two more double heat sinks than the Marik version and two tons less armor. The LRM-20 launchers are downgraded to FarFire LRM-15 Missile Systems. Furthermore , a Victory Nickel Alloy Extended-Range Large Laser in each arm replaces the four medium lasers. Such major differences will mandate a change in tactics, and possibly deployment, from other Archers. The official Federated Commonwealth version is expected within six months from the massive Defiance Industries complex on Hesperus [II]. Though lacking Endo Steel and Ferro-Fibrous armor, it will feature the Edasich Motors 280 XL engine. Like the Rasalhague version, it will subtitute racks of 15 long-range missiles for the 20 racks. It will upgrade the lasers by using pulse technology and add two Coventry T4H Short-Range Streak Missile Racks. The most revolutionary aspect of this design is the inclusion of the Doering Electronics Glowworm Narc Beacon. This will greatly improve the accuracy of all the Archer's missile systems. Bowie Industries has just signed a contract with the Wolf's Dragoons to produce a similar model at its factory on Alarion, Carlisle, Wyatt, or perhaps all three. It differs from the official Federated Commonwealth version in that it retains the LRM-20 racks and carries two TharHes Blue SRM-4 Racks instead of the Streaks and medium lasers. Combining so many missiles with the Doering Electronics Glowworm will give the ARC-5W, as it has been designated, tremendous firepower. The design includes extra long-range missiles to make up for the fact that it has no laser weapons. Still in limited production is the ARC-2R Archer. The New Vandenberg factory of Vandenberg Mechanized Industries produces a small number of this original design each year, mostly for the Taurian Defense Force. -------------------------------------------------------- Type/Model: Archer ARC-4M Mass: 70 tons Equipment: Crits Mass Int.
