Greetings ladies and gentlemen, it has become clear these last few months how the military forces of the Empires are now turning more and more to the highly capable Pod-pilot Paramilitary organisations for aid. This aid is not called for because of Military incapability more that paramilitary groups are relatively fast to organise and deal with whatever situation that has caused their call in.
My statement here today is actually a proposition, considering the central role paramilitary groups are playing in the defence of their nations holdings, and from current events like the rioting on Mabnen. I firmly believe it’s time that paramilitary groups take measures to develop and produce ways of expanded military capabilities. In short, each organisation should be able to wage asymmetrical warfare whenever possible.
What I mean by this statement; Many months ago Aegis Militia employed several platoons of troops in a series of ground operations during the Blood Raider wars in the bleak lands. However, due to our reliance on commercial traffic to deploy these forces we were unable to achieve all of our ground-based goals. It’s fairly simple, I believe paramilitary organisations should spearhead new research, development, and production of weaponry that would allow us to deploy and operate conventional ground forces from our warships in space.
Agreed, that orbital bombardment is a solution to problems on a planetary scale, but tactical assault and rapid response could also be made available to us. These powers we shall use to preserve the peace on our beloved Empire worlds.
For many months now Aegis Militia R&D teams led by myself worked closely with current ground military minds to devise a new form of Drone or Autonomous Kill Vehicle (AKV). This AKV can be deployed from space, survive planet-fall, and operate under direct neural control or of it’s own cognisance. This AKV’s brain is modelled similarly to the Drones we use today; the obvious difference is that we’ve succeeded in implementing new logical pathways for them to conduct ground operations.
Ladies and Gentlemen I give you…. The Paladin AKV
Measuring over 9 meters long, 3 wide, and when deployed 3.5 meters high the Paladin has been designed for diversity of operations on many environment types. Possessing both atmospheric and vacuum capabilities it’s primary design function is as a Main Battle Tank to support infantry in ground operations. Here’s a list of it’s current equipment profile.
Length: 9.6m
Width: 3.3m
Height Including turret extended: 3.5m
Volume: 115m3 when deployed
100m3 when packed for deployment
Armaments
Primary Turret system mounting Quad Light Pulse Maser
Turret mounted P.D.S. quad laser array
Two twin forward firing Gatling Lasers
Deployable camera drone and Macrobot housing.
Secondary Systems
NSAI Brain in secure housing
Backup systems for Teleoperation
Sophisticated "Storm shielded" Electronics and EW suite
Small enclosed Nanofacturing repair plant
Onboard Planet-fall Thermic protection shield
Initial prototypes have been completed and have shown excellent results, currently AM has plans to produce these units for Alliance use only, however this policy may change and these AKVs may be made available to loyalist Paramilitaries of the Amarrian Empire.
Thank you for listening
Regards

Oooh. Nice. I prever the Gallentean Ogre Planetary Assault (PA) version tho. It's basicly an Ogre drone with tracks or feet (there are quite a few versions. The latest one is a bidepal version of the Ogre with more mobile weapon arms and mechanical claws around the gunbarrels for manipulating objects or crushing the enemy)

If at all possible I would like to purchase 50 of these from you for my own "peacefull" operations on various planetside environments.

Not at all, this intends to be an arms expo for Paramilitary organisations, as well as a suitable vehicle for forward thinking.
The real breakthroughs in this are with software and AI coding, the hardware itself is standard issue.
Thank you for the responses, the R&D divisions are also looking towards filling in other niche role equipment that we can construct for Pod Pilot Paramilitary use. Any suggestions of marketable products would be considered and possibly developed.

Interesting...
How does it move around when it's planetside? (or for that matter, when it's launched from a ship). Some sort of grav-hover system i'd presume, since i didn't see wheels in your picture.
*prepares to take notes, for later weakness-searching*
Just in case, you understand....

These are AFVs to be used in defence of our realm. Aegis Militia will produce and use them in it's ground operations first. Then, the construction blueprints will be made and distributed to all Amarrian loyalists organisations. These will be vehicle for our might and our desires to be used in defence of our realm.

Soratah, will these tanks be made available in the near future? We would be interested in a presentation of the capabilities of the Paladin as it might be an alternative to Navy standard gear.
Now recruiting!

Yes Tharrn I'll make an announcement about it now.
All testing has finally been completed on the swarm-algorythm AI. Im pleased with the overall progress of this project and have initiated large scale production and AI birthing in Carthum Conglomerate station, Myyhera system.
Essentially the primary bonus of these units, apart from their rapid deployment from Orbit. Is that there are no human pilots or crew, the weapon itself can be controlled by pod-pilot via neural link. Due to the semi-autonomous nature of the unit -thanks primarily due to the swarm AI- a large number can be deployed and controlled.
Thank you all for your interest, true to my word all those Paramilitary organisations who're interested in this as a deployable defensive system are now able to test it themselves. I will provide 10 units and control codes to each interested party so they may test at their leisure in whatever field they desire.
Interested parties can contact me via evemail or direct comms, thank you for your attention.
Regards
Soratah
(ok here is the scoop since there are no tanks as sprites I'll be dishing out 10 planetary vehicles per person. The model you see in the link was done in Rhino 3 (although I do have a high poly 3dSmax version) I can email this to anyone who'd like to have a play around with it or use it in RP stories eve related. Basically if you want to run anything rp on this you're perfectly welcome to. :P )

So what will stop enemies from jamming the control signals and force the AKV's to rely on their AI? Frankly I'd be hesitent to rely on armored backup compleatly based on Hover technology with all the anti-hover defenses out there. I'll stick with my cheeper Ocelot.

Soratah, I will contact you shortly. We are actually also looking for a manned tank and would prefer an Amarrian brand. Are there any plans by the Aegis Militia to offer a conventional version of the Paladin or is it even already possible to have it manually controlled by a crew?
Now recruiting!

Your concerns are noted, however the control system is based on the current subspace neural linking system between ship and command drones. Considering we've yet to devise a system to jam subspace communications this is a technical impossibility.
I haven't also divulged the details of this piece of equipment it doesn't use conventional anti-gravity technology to maneuver it relies on turbo-fan induction engines powered by a small nuclear battery. I essentially wanted to keep a low energy profile to add to it's survivability.
The Ocelot is a nice rugged piece of equipment, however the cost per unit of your vehicle will be cheaper you have to rely on conventional troop transports to deploy these vehicles. That combined with the wheeled design being unsuitable for some planetary environments. The cost to dividend ratio would probably even out considering you'll have to pay the resource cost of shipping and deployment of such vehicles.
Tharrn, there are works in progress to serve as replacement for the Amarrian dropship. The main selling point of the Paladin was that its capable of surviving direct deployment from planetary orbit. Adding human crews will cause certain problems with this, however its perfectly possible to have each AKV controlled remotely by other personel rather than a pod pilot. They would control via Telepresence.

The drones I work with might as well be jammed for all the good they do sitting just outside docking range. I do admit however that being able to be deployed from orbit is a nice feature, but you would still need to have almost the same suppor structure for the Ocelot if you ever wanted to reuse the AKV's after being deployed.
