PRINCIPALITY OF REMONI - MINISTRY OF DEFENSE
CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT
Five (5) Digit MOD Identification Number: 95097
Name: Amita Lakshmani
Callsign: Radiance
Age: 17
Country of Origin: Erust
Appearance:Faceless Type: A
Bio: - Service History to dateSubject Amita underwent her FTMAP approximately two years ago. She has exhibited occasional physical and mental issues after the procedures' completion, but still falls within acceptable parameters as set by [redacted].
Following completion of the procedure and her training period, she was assigned to the Erustan Air Force, where she was part of the ongoing operations to put down rebellious Royalist elements within the country seeking to overthrow the democratic government. She showed great competency and precision in her perfomance in both counter-air and air-to-ground operations, frequently flying in dangerous situations or terrain to perform interdiction and deep-strike operations against key installations or targets belonging to the Royalist insurgent forces.
After several successful tours and operations, she was rotated back to Air Forces research command where she was part of ongoing efforts to develop and research more effective aircraft and weapon systems, and participate in further exercises revolving around effective employment of Faceless pilots alongside conventional forces. During this time she was introduced to her co-pilot Ajay, and the two have worked together since.
After a further tour of duty which involved repelling a massed assault on the capital by Royalist forces and fierce aerial engagements that has seemed to stem the ongoing insurgency for the meantime, Amita and Ajay have been assigned to Faceless Squadron 7 as part of an exchange and training program to improve and better their skills, and as a contribution from our government to the brewing war.
- Personality traitsAmita has shown particular skill and expertise in mastering the art of air-to-ground warfare, particular in the area of low-level bombing and strike. Her understanding of flight dynamics and the requirements of battlefield control and theatre-level strategy applied to airpower are impressive for an individual of her age.
On a personal level, Amita exhibits a vibrant and lively personality, albeit one with a tendency to swing into moments of sullenness, as with any teenager.
Her intelligence and physical aptitude are high, and she shows a keen interest and curiosity about the world, and while shy, enjoys meeting new people. This must be watched carefully, should she inadvertently risk any information regarding the program itself, or put herself or any other vital assets in a position to be exploited or at risk.
However, she is motivated by positive reward and praise, and seeks to please others around her, and to gain their approval. She has a high level of empathy for others and a strong desire to protect and nurture those who cannot help themselves; likely a residual trait of personality from [REDACTED].
She shows a strong bond of friendship with her co-pilot Ajay Chandrasekhar, though they often act much like teenagers and fall out, have fights and annoy each other for no reason. Nonetheless, they are more than capable of overcoming their personal differences to work together when need be.
Aside from socializing and making new friends, Amita seems to enjoy swimming and water-related activities a great deal which is encouraging for her physical fitness levels. She also has some level of inherent artistic talent, and seems to like sketching scenes of everyday life when otherwise not preoccupied wih study towards her duties and schooling. She also has a strong fondness for animals, and has frequently asked if she may have a pet of some kind. It is recommended this perhaps be used as a motivational factor for her continued loyalty and obedience.
Specialization: Aircraft
Name of Machine: FB-18U Ultra Hornet
Profile: The FB-18U 'Ultra Hornet' is a domestically produced variant of the F/A-18 Super Hornet. It fulfils the role of long-range heavy strike, anti-shipping and long-range reconnaissance in the Erustan Air Force, or will do so once it reaches full production. Currently, the aircraft is in limited operational usage and testing. It is the most advanced aircraft produced by the Erustan Aerospace Industry to date, and still relies on significant international co-operation (in fact, the continued security of this co-operation was one of the key things that lead to the deployment of personnel to Faceless Squadron 7).
The FB-18U remodels the Super Hornet into an aircraft more akin to the RA-5 Vigilante carrier-based bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, or the land-based (and originally planned to be carrier-based) F-111, a dual role aircraft capable of sustained high speed at low altitude, and carrying a heavy payload of weaponry, or alternatively a large suite of reconnaissance equipment.
The concept is modernised by including current and advanced materials, electronics, design theory and sensors, and starting from a proven airframe. Using an existing aircraft instead of a clean-sheet design has kept lead-times and development costs down, and allows minimal re-training, and the use of F/A-18's as conversion trainers. Similarly, parts commonality is high, reducing stress on existing logistics and supply infrastructure and further reducing the need for training of new personnel completely.
The FB-18U is fully compatible with all existing Erustan and allied weapon systems currently in use, and has room in its' software architecture and physical design to accomodate future expansion and the inclusion of new equipment as needed.
Like the Super Hornet it is derived from, the Ultra Hornet incorporates features to reduce its radar signature, but is not a 'stealth' aircraft overall. These features do significantly reduce it's overall signature, and combined with ECM and skilful flying and use of terrain features can massively reduce chances of detection by hostile forces. Research is underway to develop stealthy weapons pods and fuel tanks to increase the useable weapons load on operations oriented towards stealth.
The primary changes to the aircraft, aside from the obvious physical changes in dimensions and overall appearance are the inclusion of more powerful F-135 engines for increased thrust and sustained speed, and an overall upgrade of sensor systems, including the addition of an onboard electro-optical sensor and guidance system, as well as an AESA radar and helmet-mounted sight-and-cueing systems for both crewmembers. Future additions may include vectored-thrust engines, among other potential expansions and upgrades.
Modifications: Experimental Plasma Stealth system; uses a high-energy thermal plasma to absorb incoming radar waves. However, the heating effect of the plasma means the system is limited to short amounts of use, and activation of the system creates a brief radar blooming effect. Additionally, while in use, the aircraft has a greatly increased thermal signature, and is unable to use external weapon systems, as they interfere with the plasma sheath. Nonetheless, being completely invisible to radar for short periods of time has its' uses.
The FB-18U is also capable of landing and taking off from an aircraft carrier, as well as short-field takeoff and landing, however it must be lightly loaded for such operations, and is at its' best operating from land bases.
Personal Color Scheme: Ferris-style camouflage scheme in shades of dusky blue, grey, and tan.
Preferred Loadout :1 x Internal Rotary-barrelled cannon
1 x internal weapons bay for up to 2,000lb of ordnance and two air-to-air missiles
8 x External hardpoints (2x wingtip, 3 x under each wing) for a variety of mixed air-to-air and air-to-surface ordnance or other mission systems, such as refuelling pods, additional fuel tanks, cargo pods, ECM pods and reconnaissance systems.
All standard loadouts include two MultiPods, usually of the low-observable type unless otherwise specified.
OATH: I, A FACELESS PILOT, SWEAR UNDYING LOYALTY TO THE PRINCIPALITY OF REMONI, I DECLARE THAT I WILL ALWAYS FIGHT FOR HER, HER PEOPLE, HER GOALS, I AM ENSURED CERTAIN RIGHTS AND DUTIES AS A FACELESS PILOT AND I WILL ALWAYS ACCOMPLISH THESE DUTIES WITHOUT QUESTION AND WILL NEVER BREAK MY LOYALTY TO THE PRINCIPALITY. IF I DO BREAK THIS OATH, MAY IT MEAN MY DEATH. MAY THE PRINCIPALITY AND HIS MAJESTY BE BLESSED.
