M198 howitzer
Crew of 11
The M198 155mm howitzer weighs under 16,000 pounds allowing it to be dropped by parachute or transported by a CH-53E Super Stallion or CH-47 Chinook. The M198 is a towed howitzer that is transported tail first, with the cannon resting above the weapon's wheels. When firing, the weapon is lowered onto its baseplate rather than being anchored to the ground allowing for rapid emplacement. The breech is operated manually via a screw type mechanism that rests low in an ergonomic position. The M198 fires non-fixed ammunition and can be loaded with a variety of propellants and projectiles. The effective range 18,100 meters when firing standard projectiles and it increases to 30,000 meters when firing rocket assisted projectiles. With the 52-caliber modification the range can surpass 40,000 meters. The weapon system requires a crew of 11 and is capable of firing at a maximum rate of four rounds per minute, two sustained. The crew members are wearing the rifleman outfit.

Variety of Munitions ((10 of each))
High Explosive (HE)
(M-107 NC/DC): Explosive Composition B material packed into a thick,internally-scored shell which causes a large blast and sends razor-sharp fragments at extreme velocities (5,000–6,000 meters per second). The kill zone is approximately a radius of 50 meters and casualty radius is 100 meters. The Marine Corps and US Army also uses the M795 High Explosive round.
Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP)
A rocket-assisted HE (also known as H.E.R.A.) round that adds to the maximum range of the normal HE. For the 155 mm RAP round, max range is 30.1 kilometres (18.7 mi).
White Phosphorus (WP)
A base-ejecting projectile which can come in two versions: felt-wedge and standard. White phosphorus smoke is used to start fires, burn a target, or to create smoke which is useful in concealing the movements of friendly units.
Illumination
Illumination projectiles are base-ejecting rounds which deploy a bright parachute flare ideally 600 meters above the ground and illuminates an area of approximately 1 grid square (1,000,000 square meters). Illumination rounds are often used in conjunction with HE rounds, to illuminate the target area so that HE rounds can be fired more effectively. Illumination rounds can also be used during the daytime to mark targets for aircraft. The M485 Illumination round burns for 120 seconds.
Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition (DPICM)
A base-ejecting projectile which drops 88 bomblets above a target. Each bomblet has a shaped-charge munition capable of penetrating two inches of solid steel as well as a fragmentation casing which is effective against infantry in the open. The DPICM round is effective against armored vehicles, even tanks (since the deck armor is usually the thinnest on the vehicle), and is also extremely useful against entrenched infantry in positions with overhead cover.
Area Denial Artillery Munition System (ADAMS)
An artillery round that releases anti-personnel mines. These mines eject tripwires to act as booby traps, and when triggered are launched upward before exploding. They are designed to self-destruct after a pre-determined period of time.
Remote Anti Armor Mine System (RAAMS)
An artillery round that releases anti-armor mines, usually used along with ADAMS rounds to prevent the antitank mines from being removed. Designed to self-destruct after a pre-determined period of time.
Copperhead
An artillery launched guided high explosive munition which is used for very precise targeting of high value targets such as tanks and fortifications. It requires the target be designated with a laser designator system. This round is currently no longer produced or used by the US military.

TDA Satellite Comm System {TSCS}
Characteristics: The TSCS orbits the planet at an altitude of more than 22,000 miles. It receives and amplify's signals to make it stronger and more secure. Each satellite uses 8 super high frequency transponder channels capable of providing secure voice and high rate data/video communications to TDA units. TSCS also carries a single-channel transponder for disseminating emergency action and force direction messages to nuclear-capable forces. The system is used for high priority command and control communication such as the exchange of wartime information between defense officials and battlefield commanders. The military also uses TSCS to transmit space operations and early warning data to various systems and users. Provides the primary means of command, control and communications for military units. Capable of transmitting voicevideo and analog or digital data up to 16 kbps. Employs electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) to minimize vulnerability to enemy electronic warfare and provides secure communications with an integrated communications security (ICOM) device. Also has high tech camera devices that provide pictures/video surveillance from afar also in infrared/thermal. Paints an orange marker over located hostile units. Blue Marker for friendly units. Yellow for civilians. Information gets sent to HUD/RADAR. There are solar panels that capture solar energy turning it into power for the satellite.
Anti-Virus/Firewall: Incorporated in its systems is the anti-virus/firewall which protects all of the contents of his technology. It prevents things from making unauthorized installs on his systems without his knowledge or approval. The Antivirus or anti-virus software is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware, including but not limited to computer viruses, computer worms, trojan horses, spyware and adware. If for some reason something tries to hack/breach the firewall, it'll send a backlash of to malware to disrupt their computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain unauthorized access to their computer systems if they don't have protection. Their IP address will also be identified and traced. The source will be tracked to it's direct location. Incorporated in his systems for radar is his Cross Com systems.

TDA Sparrowhawk Gunship {Crew of 1}
Pilot
This is the TDA version of the UNSC Sparrowhawk. It is a single seat aircraft that is tremendously versatile. The Sparrowhawk is often used as close air support armed with twin M134 Mini Guns,AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles, and Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle. Top speeds reach 380 MPH. The cockpit is forward mounted, and the tail section juts out from behind the fuselage at a downward angle. Can also disperse flares. Each wing incorporates a Plasma Powered Ducted Air Fan for lift and thrust, and carries three missiles/rockets on pylons and a twin auto-cannon on each, with a Laser weapon mounted underneath the cockpit. The ducted air fan's also provide a source of power for the gunship as its energy gets converted to plasma and powers the systems. The Sparrowhawk is a fast and maneuverable aircraft capable of engaging infantry, vehicles and aircraft. Contains lots of extra ammo to ensure the pilot that they won't run our of ammo. Highly EMP/Tamper Resistant. Connected to TDA's Cross Com Systems. The crew member is wearing the rifleman outfit.
Joystick- A joystick is an input device consisting of a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the device it is controlling. Joysticks, also known as 'control columns', are the principal control in the cockpit of the TDA's Sparrowhawk military aircraft, either as a center stick or side-stick. They often have supplementary switches on them to control other aspects of the aircraft's flight. It also allows the operator controls to the aircraft weaponry as well.
AGM-114 Hellfire Missile- is an air-to-surface missile (ASM) developed primarily for anti-armor use. High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT); 20 lb (9 kg) tandem anti-armor. Metal augmented charge (MAC); 18 lb (8 kg) shaped-charge. May be laser or heat guided. Speed Mach 1.3 (950 mph; 425 m/s), Operational range 546 yd – 5 mi (500 m – 8 km). 60 loaded. Can fire up to 6 missiles at a time. 3 from each wing.
M134 Minigun- Twin Miniguns attached. 1 on the right side of the gunship and one on the left side. The Minigun is a 7.62 mm, multi-barrel machine gun with a high rate of fire (2,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute), employing Gatling-style rotating barrels with an external power source. Weight 29.98 kg (66.09 lb), Length 801.6 mm, Barrel length 558.8 mm, Cartridge 7.62×51mm NATO, Caliber 7.62 mm (0.308 in), Action Electrically driven rotary breech, Rate of fire Variable, 2,000-6,000 rpm, Muzzle velocity 2,800 ft/sec (853 m/s), Maximum range 3,280 ft (1,000 m, 1,093 yd), Feed system Disintegrating cartridge belt or linkless feed; dependent on installation, Sights Dependent on installation; no fixed sights
W/AV M6 G/GNR- The Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle(abbreviated W/AV M6 G/GNR), also known as the Spartan Laser, is the UNSC's ground-based, man-portable, anti-vehicle, directed energy weapon. When the trigger is pulled, a red targeting laser is painted on-target accompanied by an audible whine as the weapon cycles up. The Spartan Laser will then charge for approximately two to three seconds before discharging the main laser. As the Spartan Laser charges, the charging tone gets noticeably louder and increases in pitch up until the laser is fired. The firing sequence can be aborted without discharging the battery as long as the weapon is not actually fired; for example, if the target moves out of sight or the operator needs to displace. The laser is capable of penetrating several enemies or vehicles, and has a small blast radius, injuring targets within two meters of the point of impact and toppling light vehicles. It has an offline sequence between shots while it (presumably) cools down (approximately 2–4 seconds), and is highly effective at destroying enemy vehicles. It was a donation given to TDA by United Nations Space Command.
Maximum Ammunition 5 shots
Fire Mode Charged, single shot
Ammunition Type Battery Cells (Charged)
Rate of FireVery Slow, 5-second minimum between shots.
Muzzle Velocity 299,792,458 meters/second.
Accuracy Perfect, no COF
Range Long Range
Flight- The Sparrowhawk uses it's Plasma assisted Ducted Air Fan Thrusters to for flight. It also allows the Sparrowhawk to Hover as well. It may hover at up to heights of 16,910 ft. The Thrusters are very powerful and allows the Sparrowhawk to reach amazing speeds with ease. It is highly maneuverable and may fly/hover forward, backward, left, right, up, down, etc. Duel Ducted Air-fans Revolve 500 times per second. The forward maneuver thrusters are powered by two plasma turbo fuel reactors that have been majorly scaled down that put out around 50,000 pounds of thrust for when high-speed travel is required.
Ceramic Armor- Ceramic armor components used as the ballistic armor (armour) strikeface of lightweight composite armor systems. CeraShield™ ceramics, working in conjunction with an appropriate backing system, can defeat various threats including armor-piercing rounds and IEDs. Typical ceramic composite armor systems, at approximately half the weight, outperform similar steel-based systems.
Sensors- Allows the operate to navigate, spot approaching obstacles, detect incoming objects or projectiles, or chart interstellar phenomena. Sensor arrays gathered information about the surrounding space or environment using a variety of sensors and then an advanced computer would process and analyze the data for the crew to use. Also has high tech camera devices that provide pictures/video surveillance from in infrared/thermal. Paints an orange marker over located hostile units. Blue Marker for friendly units. Yellow for civilians. Information gets sent to HUD/RADAR and transmits through TDA's cross com systems. It also helps to receive and amplify signals.
