The ONE-series of Project Vehicles Part Two
The typical layout of each mission module is as follows: Common features: a two-bed sickbay (each bed equivalent to a medical unit), a duplicate living area to allow the tractor to be used for other tasks and a 100kW fusion plant to provide a independent power supply. There are two side doors and connecting hatches fore and aft to the tractor and logistics modules, respectively.
MARS: A situation room; fire direction center with radio and radar sets and computer system. A Weapons bay with twin breech-loading 81mm mortars and 120 mortar bombs. The mortars are mounted on a turntable and fire through a roof hatch.
On each side of the module are twin M-240C machine guns in a turret capable of a 180 degree traverse, and a 90 degree elevation and depression. Each weapon is provided with a magazine holding 1,000 rounds (2,000 total), there are six additional magazines provided for each weapon. On the front of the roof is a turret fitted with a dedicated radar and sensor system with a Mark 19 40mm AGL. 200 rounds of ready ammunition is mounted and an additional 600 rounds are stored inside.
On the rear of the roof is a weapons pod which mounts one of the following configurations:
Eight ADATS missiles or Six TOW missiles or Two Maverick missiles or Four Chaparral missiles or Two 2.75-inch rocket pods with a total of 38 rockets.
Reloading can only be performed from outside the vehicle. The reloads are carried as cargo in the logistics modules.
