Name: XV-22 Osprey
Type: Modified Bell/ Boeing V-22 Osprey (Air (V/STOL)
Cost: Monstrous
Control: Remarkable (Excellent)*
Speed: Incredible (Amazing)**
Body: Excellent
Protection: Good
Weapons:2 Heavy-Machine guns: Range IN, Damage 30, Type: Sh, Bursts (Standard)
Optional Missile Launchers or other weapons systems (2 external hardpoints available for upgrade)
Notes:
* Remarkable control is computer-assisted with human pilot; Excellent control/ Piloting skill on auto-pilot.
** Amazing speeds only attainable at high, cruising altitudes with jets engaged
The XV-22 has been extra equipped with a low-grade AI auto-pilot/ co-pilot internal computer capable of monitoring all systems including radar and ECM's, piloting up to Excellent ability, and emergency landing in a pinch. With enough time, work, and tinkering, the technology used in the computer core could be upgraded to a full AI, giving the Osprey itself intelligence and creating, in effect, a robot-vehicle.
Due to it's extra internal equipment as well as it's improved-comfort seats, inflight consoles with CD/DVD/MP3 player/ LCD TV systems, etc., the XV-22 can only reasonably seat 15 persons, as opposed to the 24 person capacity of the V-22 (Including pilot- there is a seat for co-pilot, but the AI computer covers these tasks unless manually overridden).
The XV-22's internal systems include a ventilation system designed to filter out harmful gases (should a grenade go off inside) with RM ability. It's internal sound suppression system allows for a practically noiseless ride, once the propellers have been stowed away and jets engaged (the power used for the propellers going instead to the "whisper" system). In this mode, it is considered to have EX stealth for purposes of audio-dectection, both sounds coming from inside, and outside as well.
Although the XV-22 is technically a rear-loading vehicle, there are partial doorways located twice on both sides, for emergency use (one towards the front and another towards the rear). Equipment is standard onboard to allow agents to "strap in" at these doorways when flying at low speeds, low altitudes and in 'helicopter mode', to permit the use of small arms or heavier weapons fire. The nature of these doorways makes it impractical to use them for standard loading or entering the aircraft.
The ECM (Electronic Countermeasures) package equipped standard on the XV-22 Opsrey includes:
EX Stealth vs. Audio detection systems
RM Radar jamming/ radar cloaking
EX Stealth vs. Heat-seeking missles/ thermographics
EX Frequency jamming technology for guided missles (Note: when activated, this also shorts out radio communications within range, and makes receiving radio signals impossible)
Upgrades on the system could of course be made, given enough time and effort.
