GADS - 1Z 'DEFENDER'

0 sneedls  6 months ago

Background

In 2003, the GADS - 1Z 'DEFENDER' was the Z variant of the GADS developed by the TFT and commonly used by the TFT and WDYL. Since it was a replacement for the M variant, it featured several upgrades including more pylons, more pitch range for the tracker and a better radar with collision lights. The GADS - 1Z is still in service today.

Weapons

The GADS features 2x SONIC SHOCK AGM/AA Missiles, 10x HAMMER AA Missiles, 1x Surface to Air/Surface to Surface 168X Radio (SA/SS 168) and the Long Range Radiation/Electro-Magnetic Radar Detection System (LRREMRDS). It also includes a FLIR 138 'All Seeing Eye' on the right side of the turret head for documentation as well as remote usage.

Activation Groups

GROUPS:
G1: activates the piston for movement.
G2: activates collision lights.
TRIM: allows movement of piston (upwards).

For anyone wondering, these are part of a story-ish I have, it is important to note that I also posted links to youtube videos on my profile so if you're really interested you can check that out as well.
