Federated-Boeing MV-50 Osprey III

  Brought back for the special operations market, the Osprey III is an old design, rebuilt to serve the original needs: to serve with distinction and provide support for forces around the globe. Your forces. Utilizing the same technologies that made the first model, the MV-22, such a popular design. It features the ever famous tilt wings, to allow VTOL takeoffs and landings, while allowing it the capability of conventional fixed wing travel. However, it is more maneuverable than it’s earlier brethren, incorporating the new Structural Agility system, combined with the Drive-by-wire system, allows for an amazing amount of maneuverability against opponents as well as improvements to the control surfaces, to allow superior maneuverability. Coupled with rigger capability, it offers special operations units unparalleled flexibility that you need. Mounted above the cockpit is also a retractable inflight refuelling probe, to enhance the range of the already economical engines.
  However, this is not designed to carry civilians, it’s designed to carry your troops into battle. You pay them a lot to do their job, and they don’t expect crappy equipment, especially when you send them into the depths of Hell with a survival knife. To get them there, the Osprey III features advanced sensors, as well as efficient ECM and ECCM capability, giving it impressive EW (Electronic Warfare) capability. The main reason, is of course, to carry troops. To facilitate this, the Osprey’s middle section has a large area with three benches, one against the rear wall, and two back to back, allowing transport of an average squad.
  To protect the aircraft, it mounts common standard composite armor. It does not mount as much as an MBT, but is enough to protect it against most battlefield weapons. Thermal Baffles, as well as stealth shaping lessen the thermal impact as well as the RCS of the vehicle.
  This wouldn’t be all worth the effort unless we armed the aircraft. First off, we installed a chin turret, able to accept all standard weapons, also comes complete with it’s own dedicated ammo drum. Mounted in the cabin, using our new patented SureFire pintle mounts, the troop doors can be closed, without opening the doors. However, the upper half of the door incorporates a window to enable suppressive fire if necessary. A modified system allows the weapon be pointed to the rear of the aircraft, thereby allowing full closing of the doors, especially when you don’t need the doors open! Mounted on each wing is an Ares GKM standard missile mount, fully capable of accepting all types of missiles and even the mounting of drop tanks if necessary.
