Army Equipment (JURA)


The following are the publicly released specifications of the Janpian Union Revolutionary Army (JURA). They are not for export unless allowed by the Janpian Union of Government Workers Party.


Small Arms


SP-7 Pistol

The SP-7 is a pistol designed and manufactured by the workers of Stork Industries Union, made in service for all Revolutionary Forces as part of the JURA advancement proposal. It fires a 7.5 FK BRNO round, which is much stronger, faster, accurate, and more powerful than a 9.19mm parabellum round. The SP-7 has much more stopping power than the usual 9mm ammo that the Revolutionary formerly used, and has an effective range of 75–150 meters, all while retaining more kinetic energy at that range than a 9×19mm can generate at the muzzle/point blank range. It has been noted by some workers that it has the same recoil power as the .45 ACP pistols and is terminally effective as the 7.62 x 39 Russian/5.56 NATO cartridges, making it deadly and powerful. Based on the test, the SP-7 is accurate out to 100 meters with a flat trajectory and was able to consistently hit a 100×100 mm (3.93-sq.in.) target at 100 meters. The SP-7 is an all-steel, short-recoil operated, semi-automatic pistol that is the service pistol for all Revolutionary forces, giving them the firepower and reliability that they always need. It is rumored that the decision to use the 7.5 FK ammunition came from the Revolutionary Council, with the purpose of having an interoperability capability with the Gonswanzan forces, simplifying the KTO military logistics, and having a pistol with enough stopping power against an enemy target.

Personal Defense Weapon (PDW)


SPR - F

The SPR-F is a PDW made for the Revolutionary Forces as part of the JURA proposal, featuring accuracy and firepower nearly similar to that of the AK-47s. The SPR-F, or Stork Portable Rifle-F, is an upgrade of the former SPR-SMG that utilizes 9mm ammunition. The SPR-F is made and designed by the workers' union of Stork, the same labor union that designed and produced the latest SP-7 Pistol. According to one of the workers, the SPR-F is a mixture of Janpian SPR-SMG, and Gonswanzan PDW-75. The SPR-F uses new ammunition, that being the 7.5 FK BRNO, which enhances inter-operation with the rest of the Janpian weaponry and allows the ease of logistics. The SPR-F is capable of firing 800 rounds per minute and is good against enclosed or medium target ranges, no lower than 100 meters. This allows the user to unleash a dangerous hellfire against closed targets and secure the kill with ease.

With the 7.5FK ammunition, it has the capability to penetrate light or medium armored targets, making it effective against well-equipped targets. The picatinny rail allows the user to fit in BUIS sights, flashlights, lasers, handgrips, and a wide range of compatible attachments. The select fire is also ambidextrous in design, enabling both left-handed and right-handed users to switch fire rates in a quick manner. The SPR-F is a roller-delayed blowback, closed bolt action PDW, which lessens recoil velocity and increases reliability. The bolt and the charging handle makes the PDW ergonomic and easy to use.

The SPR is mainly used by the Public Marshals SOG, and as a primary weapon at gun ranges.

Rifles

Stork Assault Rifle - 5 Model 2(SAR-5M2)


Despite the successes of the SAR-5 Rifle in both combat and self-defense roles, the workers of Stork Armaments Union seeks to rectify the recent drawbacks or problems experienced by various users. Taking note of the complaints about the SAR-5 Rifle, such as excessive weight, bulkiness for some users, limited modularity, and poor ergonomics, the Stork Armaments Union has addressed them all with the introduction of the SAR-5M2 rifle. The rifle features a gas-operated, piston-driven, rotating bolt action, making it durable and requiring less maintenance. Like its predecessor, the SAR-5M2 utilizes 5.45x39mm rounds, the standard of the Revolutionary Army. The ammo allows the rifle to have less recoil and an added range, which could be beneficial in long-range gunfights. Furthermore, the ammo has good penetration and expansion upon impact, along with an effective range of 300 to 800 meters, truly making it a proper choice for the Revolutionary Army. 

Like the SAR-5 rifle, the SAR-5M2 still retains its original stock, though it has been downsized to make it lighter and more ergonomic for the users. The stock is also adjustable, making it comfortable when firing and allowing the user to effectively manage its recoil. Among other traits inherited from the SAR-5 is its ambidextrous design, which allows both left or right-handed users to comfortably operate the rifle. This includes the magazine release, fire selector switch, and a charging handle. Just like its predecessors, the SAR-5M2 has 3 firing selections, which is safe, semi, and auto, giving it flexibility in ranges and handling. The SAR-5M2 also features a new case-ejection selector that enables users to direct spent casings to either the left or right, providing greater comfort and ergonomics when firing. This system allows the user to charge the rifle from either the left or right side, depending on the handle's location, in the style of the Kalashnikov rifle. Additionally, the handle can be easily switched to either side, making it both reliable and easy to use. Among other new features is a longer picatinny rail on the sides, allowing the users to fit more attachments or customizations on their rifles. In response to the complaints, the SAR-5M2 body has also been downsized, resulting in a lighter and more compact rifle than its predecessor. Additionally, the magwell has been updated to reduce weight. All these changes makes the rifle into a total weight of 3.07 kg, all while retaining the rate of fire of 700 to 800 rounds per minute.

As for its mechanism, the rifle uses a gas piston mechanism to load ammunition into the chamber, making it similar on to a few AR rifles such as the ARX-160. As the firing pin ignites the ammunition, the bullet propels itself forward, leaving behind an excess gas inside. These gas then goes on to a tube, which then pushes the piston backwards. This piston then rotates and pushes the bolt backwards, ejecting the spent casing and loading another ammo into the chamber. The process repeats itself until the firing pin blocks the hammer or when the magazine is empty.

Marksman and Sniper Rifles


SMR-5 Stork Marksman Rifle 5


The Stork Marksman Rifle - 5, known as SMR-5, was developed by the workers of Stork Armament Union in response to Revolutionary Council demands to replace the outdated SSR-40 Rifle in designated marksman duties. Plans were conceptualized to utilize an existing yet reliable platform, all while chambering 7.62x51 ammunition in compliance with the KTO STANAG. Other requirements also state that the rifle has to be 2 feet at a minimum and ambidextrous for left and right-handed users. The design was finalized and submitted by Sir Ominaschi Satsakov, which then gained the worker's council's approval. The SMR-5 is a semi-automatic, short-stroke piston, gas-operated, rotating bolt rifle to be used by all Revolutionary Force branches. The design is based on the SAR-5 Assault rifle, with the barrel length and chamber configured to match the needed 7.62x51mm ammunition, which was chosen in accordance with the KTO STANAG. The rifle's firing box was also slightly modified, enabling it to fire in single or 3-round bursts, making it ready for any mission involving medium to long range.

The SMR-5 has a total length of 36 inches, which increases the barrel length from the SAR-5's initial 14.4 inch barrel to 18". Because of its shared design with the SAR-5, the SMR-5 has the same ambidextrous charging handle, making it suitable for both left and right-handed users. It also utilizes the same feed system, which can pull the piston backwards, all while maintaining the charging handle's position when firing. The rifle also features an extendable stock and Picatinny rails, which can fit various accessories such as a bipod on the lower receiver or telescopic sights based on the user's choice. Made out of polymer, the SMR-5's effective range is over 800 meters, which is enough to enclose the range between assault rifles and sniper rifles.

The stock version of the rifle weighs 3.12 kg and utilizes a 20-round box magazine. As for the firing process, once the trigger has been pulled, the firing pin charges the propellant and fires the bullet forward, causing the gas to go into an angled chamber and into the gas tube, pushing the piston backwards. The mechanism of the piston then rotates and pushes the bolt backwards, ejecting the spent casing and loading another ammo into the chamber, all while maintaining the charging handle's position and does not push back from the recoil. With such system, the recoil is focused on the stock, making it easy to control for the users. With its chosen 7.62×51mm ammunition, the rifle's accuracy is remarkable due to its higher ballistic coefficient, which indicates a lower negative acceleration or drag.

All Terrain Vehicles


RMT General Purpose Truck

Intelligence is considered as half of the battle. The other half lies at another thing: Logistics. For this reason, the Aukari Automobile Workers' Union has designed and developed a new line of dual-use trucks for both public and military use, with the objective goal of standardizing the logistics line and establishing a new baseline for JURA's future combat vehicles. Unveiled as the Revolutionary Motorized Transporter (RMT), these trucks comes in two variants: a 6x6 for light weight carriage, and an 8x8 for heavy all-purpose carriage. Thanks to its modular and reliable suspension design, the trucks can be upgraded or used into various different variants such as a Mobile Command Vehicle, an up-armored MRAP, Field Kitchen, Radar Station, Mobile Infirmary, and various more depending on the operation requirements. This makes the truck much more flexible, and increases the plausible commonalities when making a truck-based military variant.

On to its suspension, both RMT variants utilizes an independent, two steerable, swing axles for better sustained speeds on rough road conditions, offering it with better offroad or cross-country capability, making the ride much more comfortable and allowing for precise handling given that the wheels can move independently. With these feature, the truck can also have a maximum tire-to-ground contact, enabling better control for the driver. Furthermore, thanks to its AUTM backbone transmission, it also has a low transfer of vibrations, better chassis resistance against torsion or bending, has long life service, and also protects the drive shafts inside of it, making it much more reliable and easy to operate as compared to the traditional systems. It has adjustable vehicle height and clearance, allowing the truck to have a modifiable vertical climbing ability or fording depth rate. Other specifications such as an advanced Magnetorheological damper absorbers were also added, which utilize a special type of fluid that is controlled by a magnetic field. This field can be controlled by an algorithm through an electric current, which would determine and stabilize the yield shear stress point. Thus making the ride much smoother and more comfortable for the crew.

As for its engine, all of the RMT Truck family utilizes a single engine known as the AUE-300, for parts commonality and to ease logistics. The AUE-300 is a V8, direct-injected, air-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine, that has a total of 435 mechanical horsepower and contains 2 batteries that has 12 volts each. It also has a space for an extra alternator to charge both of the batteries and to convert the mechanical horsepower to voltage if necessary. It is placed on a cab-over-engine (COE) arrangement, which lessens any blind spots on the front, as well as making the truck much more compact and easy to maintain due to its easy access from the cab to the adjacent engine bay. In total, both variants run up to -45 liters per 100 kilometers, making the range up to 977 kilometers at a 440-liter tank. Both also have an actuator piston displacement of 12,672cc tor piston as well as a total of 16 gears, with 14 dedicated forwards and 2 for reverse. Thanks to the engine's selective catalytic reduction system, the truck is Euro 4 certified, making it have a less carbon footprint. As for the achieveable speed, the RMT can run up to 105 kilometers per hour on paved roads and 40 kilometers on cross-country or off-road conditions.

In terms of crew ergonomics, the RMT cabin comes in prepared with proper crew comfort and endurance in mind. As per JURA standards, the truck comes in with heating and air conditioning with cabin climate control, dual bunk bed space on the back for long-haul or stays, and other crew ergonomics such as an IP67 rated dashboard to increase endurance from outer elements. Due to its supposed use on JURA, the cabin space behind the driver, specifically the area for a dual bunk bed space, can also be converted to accomodate radar or electronic consoles, extra generators, or artillery/rocket fire control systems. Control-wise, the truck is easy to familiarize and operate due to its automatic electronic clutch with torque converter, which allows it to operate in automatic, semi, and full manual mode, depending on the driver's reference or the road situation.

Other driver support systems are also included such as an automatic load sensing valve brake, which can determine and sense the weight of the entire load space and balance the brake fluid per individual hydraulic pressure, making speed reduction proportionate.This works statically with a valve like device that determines the weight of the cargo on a certain area on the load space, which triggers the onboard electronics system that determines the whole truck load and sensing. This system then automatically allocates enough brake fluid per individual hydraulics system at the drum brakes, ensuring that each hydraulic receives just few or enough necessary fluid for an equal brake. Other parts of the system such as an integral power steering and ABS mode are also included, which can help the driver by preventing the wheels from locking up, giving the driver more control to steer away from an obstacle. The integral power steering can also help by reducing the effort to steer and manuever the vehicle with normal strength, which is connected to the actuator on the truck's servo system.

As for its performance, the truck can be left or right handed as part of the export plans of the Aukari Workers' Council, albeit the conventional or the factory-built variants would be in the right side to conform on Janpian roads. It has a wheel rotation of up to 39°, making it have a turning radius lower than 10 meters. Its robust electronics systems and performance means that it can operate from -40C to +49C, making it tough and capable to work around desert or winter conditions. Furthermore, thanks to its engine air intake placements as well as its IP67 rated cabin dashboard, an RMT truck in conventional layout can ford at a recommended depth of 1.8 meters, enabling it to pass over rivers or streams with ease. The conventional layout could also climb at a vertical height of 500mm, making it capable to pass over tall solid obstacles or objects on its path. Among other features to help it transit along rough terrain is its CITS which controls the tire overpressure control, enabling the driver to change the pressure of the tires while driving.

In terms of protection, the RMT truck comes in at a STANAG level 3 on all sides, making it protected from 7.62 projectiles or 155mm shrapnel explosion from 60 meters. With its versatile nature, the truck can also be added with mine flooring protection to the truck load and the cabin, as well as a low profile APS to counter incoming rocket systems. It also has an AFVT-100A Filtration and Ventilation System around the cabin, which can be extended to the truck load, making the air ambience around the truck safe and secure for breathing from contamination, poisoning, chemical warfare agents, radiations, and among others, at a rated purified airflow of m3/hour — 100. This filtration system has its own housing with air blower and packet filter, as well as a control panel with color indication of operating modes. As part of JURA's specifications, the truck can also be armed with a single light or heavy machine gun ranging up to .50 cal, which can be operated through a roof manhole on a standing position from the cabin.

Armored Personnel Carrier


ZAI-8

The ZAI-8 is an APC that is designed and produced by the workers of Zelenny Industrial Union. The ZAI-8 has modularity features and multi-mission capability, allowing easy maintenance and easing production. It has STANAG IV armor protection, Rakata BMS, an amphibious capability, and a maximum running speed of 90 kmph, enabling it to move and cross over rivers to reach strategic locations or holdouts, adequately defend itself against infantry and light-armed vehicles, and have a dedicated datalink to enable cooperation with the rest of the army. It is armed with a 30mm autocannon attached to a stabilized RCWS; along with multiple MG ports on the side, increasing its protection and defense on its flanks. The RCWS turret contains 3rd generation FLIR, contextual-based auto-target systems, and AI-powered combat systems. This enables the RCWS to act independently and differentiate high-value or dangerous targets over low-value ones; automatically aiming and gunning the said targets down. Based on the test phase, the RCWS pointed over prime targets equipped with RPGs first, before aiming at the ones equipped with rifles. The test phase has also proved that the ZAI-8 is capable to hit long-range targets in nighttime conditions, along with hitting targets accurately while on the move. This makes the ZAI-8 functional in all battle conditions on any challenging terrain.

The ZAI-8 is also armed with 2x ATGM launchers, attached on the side of the RCWS turret, giving the APC some credible firepower against armored targets. The APC is also capable to be equipped with any chosen datalink, enabling it to coordinate and communicate with the rest of the group, in a digitalized manner.

AH-2A

Utilizing the hull and chassis of the AH-2 IFV, the Workers of Zelenny Industrial Union has designed a tracked APC variant for the Revolutionary Army, developing the AH-2A for service. The AH-2A was originally designed to be reliable and modular, capable of operating in Janpian terrain and employing existing platforms to simplify manufacturing, maintenance, and logistics. Its designs were to be compatible with the Revolutionary Army's systems and can be easily integrated into the Janpian Army doctrines. The design was finalized and submitted to the Revolutionary Council as ZAC-32, having a total weight of 36 tons in stock, and 44 tons with the modular armor package installed. It also has a width of 3.4 meters, a length of 7.6 meters, and can operate up to 70 kmph in road conditions. Like the AH-2 IFV, it can cross over 2.5-meter trenches and can carry up to 9 to 12 personnel.

The AH-2A is outfitted with the "Witch" RCWS, which allows the AH-2 to fire back against hostile targets while keeping the crew safe inside. The "Witch" RCWS is an automated 50-caliber machine gun that utilizes a 3rd Gen FLIR, enabling the APC to effectively fight in both day and night conditions. The said variant also utilizes the Rakata BMS, allowing the AH-2A to identify multiple targets, determine the threat levels, and give recommendations to the crew. It can also track multiple targets and receive live outside feeds from the Revolutionaries, putting it on edge in terms of information and planning. The BMS also enables the APC to coordinate with the rest of the Janpian armored fleet, easing communications and streamlining operations. As for the FCS, the "Witch" has an installed context-based aim assist, which enables the AH-2A to respond to any threats and automatically shoot them down based on their danger level. It can also distinguish between friend and foes, and has automatic aim-assist for quicker reactions. Another AH-2A variant was made with no RCWS, having a different internal composition without the dedicated gunner space, allowing more room inside and enabling specialized roles for transport or medical/rescue purposes.

Like the AH-2 IFV, the APC variant utilizes the same NBC protection, making it capable on fighting at both chemical or radiated conditions. Furthermore, it utilizes the same double-floor plate for anti-mine protection, along with rolled steel composite armor that is capable to be fitted with a modular armor kit. Other similar defenses such as spall liners and laser warning designators are also added, giving the APCs the capability to stop smaller fragments and detect laser range finders or missile targeting systems. The designators also enable the APCs to automatically detect the laser direction, giving the crew some additional information about the enemy positions or missiles and giving them the option to retaliate, retreat, or fire smoke grenades to blur out enemy missile guidance or fire controls. The AH-2A is also amphibious, enabling the APC to operate on rivers and perform various operations. The AH-2A can also be equipped with an Iron-Tide APS, which doubles its side protection by directly eliminating RPG or APFSDS rounds and providing the crew with additional information about the enemy's position or firing point.

Mortar Carrier


Zeeka



The Zeeka is a mobile mortar platform that was jointly developed by the Workers of Zelenny Industrial Union from Janpia and the Kriegstoff Motor Works from Gonswanza to provide an effective platform for the world's largest 240mm mortar. The Zeeka is a breech-loaded, smooth-bore heavy mortar platform that is capable of firing 130kg projectiles with a maximum range of 9 kilometers, or 20 kilometers with rocket or guided-assisted projectiles. With a hydraulic loading system (similar to the T-72), the projectile is automatically hauled up and pushed into the breech by an elevator and a ram, resulting in a reload time of 20 to 40 seconds, depending on the turret return time and mortar adjustment. In case the hydraulics broke or failed to deliver, the Zeeka also has a manual loading function on the side, making it flexible and reliable in combat conditions. The mortar platform utilizes a JP-2 chassis and a new hull, along with a new engine capable of reaching a maximum of 82kmph. As for its protection, with the covered breech, crew, and other equipment, the Zeeka is protected from counter-battery fire, shrapnel, or firearms. In addition, the Zeeka is also outfitted with laser warning designators, which gives the crew the chance to fire smoke launchers to block any FLIR or guiding systems, enhancing its defense against aerial or portable launched systems. On the front hull, a dozer was also concealed on the lower hull, enabling the Zeeka to entrench or cover itself, making it independent from logistics or engineer vehicles.

As for the mortar itself, the turret can be traversed in any direction, and will automatically return back to its original position to load a mortar shell. It has a maximum elevation of 70 degrees, which is sufficient to direct the mortar from different angles. The Zeeka also has its own entrenchment tool, which helps control the recoil and maintain the vehicle stable when firing, thus lessening the track wear and making it operational on uneven terrain. Since it was a collaborative project, the Zeeka also includes an interchangeable combat management system that let any nation to link their battle management systems, allowing them to enter their own fire direction program, information systems, and other system managements, enhancing interoperability in any armed force.

IFV


AH-2 IFV



The AH-2 is an infantry fighting vehicle developed by the workers of Zelenny Industrial Union, made in response to the Revolutionary Council's demand to upgrade or replace the AH-1 IFV. The new IFV utilizes the KT40-R "Molot" Auto-Cannon from Lauzanne, Mae Geri and Ushiro Geri ATGMs from Nifon, and the Iron Tide APS from Nachmere. The Revolutionary Council has demanded that the IFV must be amphibious, less than 8 meters in length, utilizes an automated turret, topped with advanced standard systems that the Revolutionary Army uses. With those demands in mind, the workers of Zelenny designed an entirely new hull, a new chassis, and an efficient engine, topped with 3rd Gen FLIR, Rakata BMS, NBC protection, spall liners, and laser warning designators, making it integrated with the Janpian Revolutionary Forces or the KTO states. The design was finalized and submitted to the Revolutionary Council as Z-42 and was approved for development as the AH-2.

Like the rest of the Janpian armored fleet, the AH-2 utilizes the Rakata BMS, which allows the IFV to automatically identify and aim at the enemy's weak points, track multiple targets and give recommendations to the crew, coordinate with the rest of the Janpian armored fleet, and determine the threat level. Furthermore, the Rakata BMS also has a context-based aim assist, which can determine any threats and shoot them down based on their danger level. With the laser warning designators, the IFV can also automatically detect enemy firing detection and give time for the crew to deploy smoke, blurring out the missile guidance system or enemy fire control. It also gives them the option to suppress or kill the enemy targeting designators, providing them the capability to fight back or retaliate. As for the armaments, the AH-2 is armed with a 40mm autocannon and a 3rd generation FLIR system, which allows the IFV to identify and fight targets in both day and night conditions. Furthermore, the AH-2 also has an ATGM pop-up launcher that can perform top attacks against heavily armored targets, and conceal itself to reduce the IFV's radar signature on the ground. Another feature of the AH-2 is its hunter-killer capability and C5ISR systems, which advances the IFV into the electronic warfare domain and enable flexibility in both commander and gunner roles. Aside from such systems, the AH-2 also has 2 machine gun ports on each side, giving them all-around protection and an advantage in urban areas. As part of the Revolutionary Council's demand, the AH-2 also has amphibious capability, enabling the IFV to operate and surprise enemy positions, or cross rivers to achieve the goals of operation.

As for defense, the AH-2 has the standard NBC protection system, adding the AH-2's capability to fight in chemical or radiated conditions. It also has spall liners to prevent further spalling from enemy fire to protect the crew inside, and it also has a double floor plate for anti-mine protection. The IFV also utilizes the Iron-Tide APS, which can eliminate RPG and APFSDS rounds before impact and provide the crew with information on the enemy firing direction. As for the armor, the AH-2 utilizes rolled steel composite armor that can be added with a modular armor kit, which adds extra defense and weight for the IFV. Furthermore, the modular armor kit can withstand 25-mm armor-piercing rounds from any direction, providing extra defense and reliability on to the IFV.

Overall, the AH-2 has a total weight of 30 tons, and 42 tons with the modular armor kit. It has a width of 3.4 meters and is capable to run of up to 70 kmph in road conditions. It also has the capability to cross 2.5-meter trenches, and carry up to 9 to 12 personnel, including the 3 maximum crew.

ZHD-201(T) "Armadillo" IFV



With the rising demands for a paratroop support vehicle, the Workers of Zelenny Industrial Union has developed an Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) that utilizes the Gonswanzan 120mm Tepoztli Recoilless Gun, with the vehicle having a maximum requirement of 20 tons, a width of 3.5 meters, and a length of 7 meters, in order to potentially fit inside cargo aircrafts and make it capable as a drop-in support vehicle. The Gonswanzan designers has also set a speed requirement of 70kph for the IFV, in order to outrun and outmaneuver hostile enemies inside enemy lines. Utilizing the experimental ZHD-201 hull from the Workers of Zelenny Industrial Union, the IFV was jointly constructed with the Gonswanzan engineers to fit the 120mm Tepoztli gun into a remote platform, while also integrating in a few Janpian sub-systems such as the interchangeable Rakata BMS, stabilization controls, and the calibration of the fire control program to the Gonswanzan armament. The final design was submitted as the ZHD-201(T) "Armadillo" to the Revolutionary Council and their Gonswanzan counter-parts, and was accepted for production in both nations.

The ZHD-201(T)"Armadillo" has a top speed of 80 kph, a weight of 20 tons, a width of 3.4 meters, and a length of 7 meters, making it suitable to be transported from a cargo aircraft, and plausible to be parachuted and deployed for the paratroopers. Due to its nature and role, the ZHD-201(T) "Armadillo" is classified as an infantry fighting vehicle, providing the paratroopers with an adequate fire support against any typical backline enemies. Armed with a stabilized 120mm Tepoztli recoilless gun along with a new Witch RCWS configuration, the Armadillo IFV comes prepared against soft or hard targets beneath enemy lines, with it's main gun being capable of penetrating or over pressuring hostile APCs, light armored vehicles, or IFVs, while also effective when shooting down personnel with it's Witch RCWS. Both armament systems have their own separate fire controls, but the programs are all centralized to the Rakata BMS, as a part of the hunter-killer capability.

Just like the rest of the military vehicles equipped with the Rakata BMS, the ZHD-201(T) has the capability to identify and track multiple targets, determine the threat level, and give recommendations to the crew. The Rakata BMS also has a special auto-aim and identification programs, allowing the IFV to differentiate and prioritize higher value targets, and auto-aim at vehicle weak spot as provided by its database. C5ISR systems are also included in the Rakata BMS, which further enhances the IFV in electronic warfare domains, and allow the crew inside to receive or give information to the rest of the army in real time. This also gives them the capability to coordinate fire with the rest of it's squadron, making the IFV much more deadlier, especially when dealing with it's role beneath enemy lines. In terms sensors, the ZHD-201(T) "Armadillo" is equipped with a 3rd gen FLIR for both commander and gunner, allowing the tank to operate and fight long range hostiles in nighttime conditions. Furthermore, it also has a laser warning designators, enabling the IFV to alert the crew if they are irradiated with a laser designators, permitting them to locate enemy laser direction and potentially it's location. This also gives the crew an option to deploy smoke grenade launchers, in order to block out laser guided projectiles and potentially allow the crew to retreat or retaliate in return.

With the entire turret being unmanned and automated, the Armadillo IFV also has an advantage when its on a hull down position, which allows the crew to control the turret without endangering themselves into the enemy's line of fire. Due to the turret being remote and unmanned, the Armadillo IFV utilizes a Gonswanzan automated reload system with the ammunition stored at the side of the gun, which loads the Tepoztli in just 3.2 seconds. Though optional, additional ammo can also be stored in the hull, which must be manually loaded into the turret when the autoloader ran out. Likewise, loading the turret does not require the crew to go out and fill the autoloader manually. Rather, it can be loaded inside the hull through a special blast proof hatch, making the loading process more safe and protected for the crew.

In terms of protection, the ZHD-201(T) "Armadillo" utilizes Aluminum 5083 as its armor, making it protected from small arms fire and artillery fragments. It also has additional internal spall liners and double floor armor, which further enhances the crew's protection from anti-tank rockets, mines, and bigger artillery fragmentation. Additionally, 8x individual smoke launchers and NBC protection are also included, enabling the IFV to escape or block the line of sight and fight in radiation or chemical warfare levels. The IFV also has a proper space to include an APS at the remote turret, though it was not included in the base model. The Workers Union of Zelenny Industrial has also developed an armor enhancement package for the Armadillo IFV, which makes it more capable to withstand against modern ATGMs, but greatly reduces the speed to just 56 kph and removes it's parachute drop capabilities. It also has an option to have an ESS mainly for additional protection, or to distract enemies during a maneuver warfare.

Light Tanks


ZAI-8-120

The ZAI-8-120 is a wheeled light tank made from the converted hull of ZAI-8 APC. It uses a Rh-120 L/55 120mm cannon, enabling the tank to shoot down even the most armored targets, and making it compatible with the rest of the NATO forces. The tank is manually loaded and requires 3 crew, which is the driver, loader, and commander/gunner.

JLZ-48


The JLZ-48, dubbed "The Janpian Type 10", is the answer to JURA's demands for a light armored reconnaissance vehicle and a mobile armored defense tank that is suitable for the Janpian terrain. The tank is built and designed by the Worker's Union of Zelenny Industrial. It uses a Rh-120 L/55 120mm cannon, making it compatible with the western military logistical network. The JLZ-48 is also the first Janpian tank to use a bustle auto loader, moving away from the traditional carousel loader which the Revolutionary Army uses. The new loader system means the crew battle stations are much safer thanks to the covered ammo rack, and upward venting system. A hit on the ammo rack won't completely kill the crew, allowing them to evacuate or drive away to a safer position.

Unlike the JP-1 tanks, the JLZ-48 has a built-in APS system, modular composite "Yagerov T-3" ceramic armor, miniaturized Dorchester armor, a completely new chassis, ECM protection, Engine Smoke generating System (ESS), and a switchable digitalized crew battle station. The JLZ-48 uses a single type of APS (rather than two on JP-1 Tanks), a small yet powerful gun caliber (120mm rather than 130mm), and modular composite Yagerov T-3 armor to reduce weight and material costs. All of these make maintenance easier and make the tank lighter. Furthermore, the weight enables the tank to pass most regional bridges in Janpia with ease. The JLZ-48 also features a special coating that lowers the tank's IR signatures, along with having a hunter-killer capability. The tank uses the Rakata BMS, maintaining the same FCS features such as the database collating systems, allowing it to aim automatically at the enemy weak points; context-based aim assist; tracking multiple detected targets; determining the threat level; and giving recommendations to the crew. It also features an Iron-Fist APS which provides an all-around protection, and a ballistic computer, which enables the gunner to calculate trajectory, taking note of wind speed and environmental conditions. 

The JLZ-48 also features switchable digitalized combat roles, allowing the gunner, commander, and driver to switch roles, making task and crew replacement easier. With the tank's digitalized battle station, this allows the crew to interact with the revolutionaries outside the tank, have a split feed view on drone reports, and enabling a streamlined military coordination and awareness. The tank runs on 70kph, topped with a C4I system (command, control, communication, computer & intelligence) on the tank's BMS.

Tanks


JP-2A "Arbiter" Tank

As the dawn of drones takes their place on the battlefield, tanks become considerably more defenseless and vulnerable when faced with this emerging threat. With drones making technological advances in terms of range and payload each day, the Janpian-Top Active Protection System (J-TAPS) was seen as insufficient or easy to expedite, especially when faced against a swarm of hostile drones. Furthermore, the anti-tank warfare domain continues to expand its horizons, adding further vulnerabilities to the Revolutionary Army. In a bid to achieve a breakthrough, a project study was commissioned by the Revolutionary Council for the Workers of Zelenny Industrial Union, to develop and produce newer technologies to close this emerging threat. The design is required to be simple, cost-effective, easy to mass-produce, easy to implement, and easy to maintain, making it a challenge for the Zelenny Industrial tank designers. Furthermore, the systems must also be made for the versatile, combat-proven JP-2 Tank platform to allow mass deployment without much need to create a new armored vehicle. It must also retain or improve any current existing systems that are in use of the Revolutionary Army.

Numerous prototypes were proposed, including a variety of fittable electronic countermeasures, that are aimed to disrupt or jam enemy drone navigation or radio transmissions. Other prototypes also have spaced protection layers now called as "Cope Cages" by mainstream media, while some prototypes have an improved J-TAPS model with more explosive-formed penetrators (EFP) in exchange for having less ammunition capacity. Out of all the proposals, the Project Z604 was selected for the preliminary design stages, which utilizes an EO-guided .50 caliber machinegun that can automatically aim and shoot at any approaching hostile drones or other small loitering munitions.

LinkThis concept was originally conceived during the 60s, only to be repurposed by changing the AESA sensors to EO (some variants also retained the AESA arrangement), and built to automatically interdict drones instead of the intended ATGMs. Effectively, this makes the system similar to the traditional CIWS utilized on some warships, albeit utilized on a smaller scale for a tank. This new system - the Witch II Remote Weapons Station (RWS), is a further improvement from its predecessor, given its new automatic anti-drone capability, as well as improved management control systems, enhanced stabilization while moving, as well as better sensor equipment and angle adjustment. It has its own EO sensor that is connected to the Rakata BMS, allowing it to automatically classify, recognize, and target/eliminate without the need of human supervision. Though it could also use the radars from the tank APS for extremely close engagement (not advisable), given that it is also connected to the same system. The RWS can also be modified to utilize different calibers such as 12.7 or 7.62 machineguns, as well as the 40mm automatic grenade launchers. Among other features of the Witch II are the integrated hostile fire sensors (HFS) and ground surveillance radars (GSR), which further enhances the RWS' detection rate and retaliation capability against multiple drone attacks or even snipers.

Following extensive study and concept evaluation, the prototype was further upgraded and fitted with the new EZV-3 sight system, which streamlines the hunter-killer system, improves the tank's sight capabilities, and gives the commander a wide range of view from its 360 degree LOS. The EZV-3 is a gyroscopic, panoramic tank optic that has a two-axis stabilizer, that is also equipped with a high-definition, dual-band 3rd gen FLIR. These thermals enable the crew to identify and effectively detect NATO size 2.3 x 2.3 targets up to 7,500 meters, which they could accurately hit thanks to its eye-safe, methane-pumped, raman-shifted, laser rangefinders, which has a range of up to 9,500 meters. Furthermore, the EZV-3 sight has a 0.05 milliradian error margin to the gun, and has an elevation of -20 to 60 degrees. It has a fully colored magnification and target identification levels of 3x, 6x, 13x, 16x, 25x, 50x digital zoom, as well as a 12 – 17 µm spectral bandmaking detector technology. The EZV-3 also has a focal-point array, dewar cooler bench, and instant calculation electronics to convert thermal radiation into identifiable video images. With this sight, the tank is more capable of seeing long-range targets in 1,316 x 480 pixel resolution under its effective identification range. Among the components of the EZV-3 is its own electrical unit and digitalized main control unit, which are connected to a four-bar linkage drive units. The digitalized main control unit has the weaponry traverse control program, thermal optics control panels, and gun position sensors. It also has a switch unit program in case the crew needs to switch roles (commander to gunner or vice versa), as well as a connector unit that utilizes inputs from the Rakata BMS database. This connector unit allows the sight to also function as a fire control system, utilizing the Rakata BMS and its database to automatically adjust and aim the gun at the weakpoints of an identified target. The system utilizes 4 sights which is the main commander sight, main gunner sight, gunner auxilliary sight, and a back-up gunner sight. All of which are accessible to everyone's crew consoles, giving them access to increase situational awareness or incase one of the sights got knocked out. With the internal components, as well as the sight's arrangeability, the EZV-3 is modular for any existing battle management system and capable of functioning for any crew assignment. 

Among the other upgrades that were added during the study and review stages is the new modular bustle loader system. This system, which was designed by the Workers of Jaschin Tooling & Machinery Union, has the capacity to fit a total of 10 to 20 VTA-3M5 sized ammunition, and load a single round into the SAUT-130M6 gun breech in a span of 2 to 3 seconds. 1 second were allocated to allow the breech to recoil and return, and 2 seconds were allocated for the feeding time. Given that 130mm ammunition can weigh from 20 to 60 kilograms, 2x powerful ram hydraulics were utilized to allow the shell to travel 1.8 meters from the feeder to the chamber within 2 seconds. Nonetheless, the autoloading system has a small dedicated feeder that is built on to the tank, which can be attached with a 10-round magazine on either left or right. These magazines also comes with a laser barcode identifier for the ammunition, which can read commander or gunner commands from their consoles, enabling the magazine to provide the proper ammunition and load it to the feeder system. Given the magazine's modular feature, the loading system can replace one of the 10-round rotary magazines with either two pop-up ATGMs, enhanced J-TAPS, or small loitering drones. This later-added feature is part of the design team's efforts to combine features of formerly proposed tank concepts, which makes the JP-2A potent for any mission. Nonetheless, the autoloader system can also unload ammunition that is inside the breech and has the capability to reorganize the ammunition inside the storage. Standard features such as blow-out panels are also included, as part of the safety modules on the magazines.

Additional changes were also implemented, such as a new advanced engine and transmission, which maintained the original dimensions and size of the original JP-2 engine block. The new ZHEDE-34612 is an opposed-piston, hybrid diesel-electric engine that comes in 3, 4, or 6-cylinders, allowing it to operate between 700hp, 1000hp, or 1500hp respectively. It can function in two modes: That being the silent mode which uses a DC electric mode, or the standard mode which operates with its diesel engine. The silent mode enables the tank to move around quietly with the exception of tracks or moving parts, which could be useful when maneuvering around urban environments. Albeit this mode is limited, given that it was prioritized for the tank's electrical component whenever the tank is stationary. Studies have shown that the majority of tank operations involve little to no maneuvers on the engagement range, making this new engine more efficient in operation, as well as 50% more economical in terms of oil consumption. When idle, the upgraded engine reduces the original 30 gallons of oil per hour to 15 gallons, and 30 gallons per hour instead of 60 when moving on off-road ranges. It also has a capacity of 1992 gallons of oil, and it can use SAE 5W 30, SAE 15W 40, SAE 10W, SHELL SPIRAX S6 ATF 2M, A295, or S4 ATF HDX oil types. It also has an integral oil filter system and a standard oil level sensor as a standard. Additionally, the new engine reduces heat rejection by 25%, which leads to a huge necessary power reduction to the cooling fans and more power to the sprocket or other necessary components. This is part of the overall Advanced Thermal Management System (ATMS), which can provide a cooling solution to other components, which also increases its overall thermal efficiency and power. Included in this system are heat exchanger packs and electronics cooling system, which provides a general coolant for the engine and its components such as the filters, heat exchangers, and other electronics. Due to its diesel-type fuel, the engine can also generate smoke screens by injecting diesel to a specialized hot exhaust, enabling ESS capabilities for the tank. This allows it to deploy smoke screens while moving, which could conceal anything behind its rear or cover the tank itself. In total, the new ZHEDE-34612 engine weighs around 3.7 tons, and it also has a 10kW low-profile auxilliary power unit at 28VDC for specific components such as the fire control allocation system and its BMS database. As part of the standard JP-2 protection, the engine space also has its own fire suppression system as part of the onboard malfunction detection system, which can detect fires in an instant and extinguish it to mitigate any further damages.

Regarding its transmission and powertrain, the tank utilizes the new automatic AZT-60A powertrain, which was specifically designed to operate with the ZHEDE-34612 engine that has dual operation modes. This powertrain is located at the back of the tank hull and has standard features such as regenerative steering for both left and right tracks, allowing the tank to maintain its speed while turning, all while keeping its motion and transmission smooth for the crew. Some former designs from the JP-2 were also retained in the design, such as its torsion bars with rotary shock absorbers, which makes the hull stable, especially when moving or doing maneuvers. The new powertrain also introduces newer designs, such as using more efficient gears instead of the traditional cross-drive transmission, allowing the tank to work more efficiently in rugged or cold/dry environments such as snow or deserts. This new powertrain is fixtured on to the same track of the JP-2 tank, and it is also capable of providing power to the tank's electrical components and hydraulics such as the gun stabilizers. Furthermore, the powertrain is capable to be fully drive-steer or brake-by-wire, allowing it to support future autonomous operations. The transmission can support a maximum weight of 70 tons, and it also has a 160 kW starter-generator for the drivetrain. In general, the AZT-60A powertrain has a forward range ratio of 33:1 to 1:1 as well as a backward range ratio of 35:1 to 1.75:1, giving the tank a total of 32 gears. With these in mind, the tank can go 67 kph at road speed and 48kph at off-road conditions. It also uses a retracting-spline final drive, which removes the immediate drive shafts that are used on the JP-2 tank.

As for its protection and gun, the Project Z604 variant utilizes the same armor and gun scheme as the JP-2 tank, which is the Stork Armaments Union TANK - 130 Model 6 (SAUT-130M6), and the Yagerov T-4 composite armor. The armor has an RHA equivalent of 1000 to 1200mm, topped with additional NERA for its outer layer. In terms of schemantics, the composite Yagerov T-4 armor is heavily applied to the front hull and turret of the tank, while the sides and rear utilize standard conventional armor. The side armor is also added with a modular special armored cover (MSAC), which is composed of NERA, ceramics, and steel layers. These layers would be enough to stop bullets, 30mm autocannons, IEDs, or RPG-7 rounds, disintegrating them before they could hit through the tank's structural composite armored hull. Like the JP-2 tank, the Z604 can either use the Iron-Tide or the Janpian Trushin APS, which both employs a computerized control unit from the Rakata BMS to quickly calculate and eliminate any propelled projectiles before they can hit the tank itself. Both APS are connected to the thermal-electric cooled laser warning sensors, which have the capability to detect and pinpoint the direction of laser-guided projectiles or enemy rangefinders, potentially disclosing their positions. Additionally, with the help of the Rakata BMS, this information is passed on to all allied units in a live manner, which alerts everyone to any detected hostiles on a specific direction. In more specific protection features, the Iron-Tide APS is known for being capable of intercepting APFSDS rounds, while the Trushin APS was developed to lessen collateral damages in mind by sensoring its surroundings, making it suitable for urban combat. Furthermore, both of the APS' laser warning sensors also allow the tank to quickly retaliate or enact countermeasures, such as firing smoke grenades to blind any laser or homing guided missiles, or reposition to a safer spot. In general, the APS covers the tank's potential weakspots such as the sides or back, which further adds protection against ATGMs or HEAT, while the laser warning system is there to further enhance the APS interception and also reveal any hostile locations to the rest of the allies, if they use laser guidance or laser rangefinders. In regards to top-attack missiles, the Z604 utilizes an improved modular variant of the J-TAPS series, which has more explosive-formed penetrators (EFP) and a separate sensor for incoming projectiles from above. This modular system can be added in exchange for 10 round modular magazines, pop-up drones, or 1 to 2 pop-up ATGMs.

Bringing in the older sensor protection features from the former variant, the Z604 design also has an improved version of the Tomai-60 gunshot detection system, which would help the crew to be more aware of hostile firing locations, giving them the chance to retaliate or to direct their weapon system. This could be helpful when the tank is performing lone fire support missions with an infantry squad, allowing it to locate enemy suppressive fire independently without the need to coordinate with the nearby squad members, thus streamlining the process. Furthermore, given the exact nature of combat, the Tomai-60 can filter out any gunshot locations coming from the locations of any BMS-connected squad members or vehicles, allowing the tank to maintain awareness of hostile locations despite the heat of the battle. The system utilizes an acoustic detection that is connected to a filter program, which would then determine the location and range of the gunshot noise after it gets detected. It can also tell how many shots were fired, its plausible fire rate, and how many plausible shooters, all in the span of a single second. Thanks to the BMS connectivity, it can also coordinate with other similar sensors connected to the same BMS, which can further enhance the accuracy of the firing location report by basing the time of the gunshot noise to reach each detection system, allowing for triangulation. Depending on the situation or the mission, this system can easily be toggled on and off through the BMS control panels.

As for the main gun, the Z604 utilizes the same SAUT-130M6 system as the JP-2. This gun has hydropneumatic assembly and hydraulic retarders, which dampens the effects of recoil and make it return back to the exact angle after firing. It is rated to handle up to 22 MpA in pressure, one of the highest in terms of reliability against barrel wear. This is partly due to the ammunition that it uses, as well as the tank's higher fire rates. The gun has standard features such as bore evacuator to avoid the gas from returning to the crew compartment, a muzzle point reference to keep the barrel accurate and make maintenance check-ups easier, as well as a thermal sleeve to reduce and regulate the barrel's temperatures. The gun uses a 2 plane stabilizer that is embedded near the gun breech, as well as a calibrated EZV-3 gunner sight variant mounted on top of the external barrel. It has a maximum gun elevation of 20 degrees, and a maximum negative depression of 10 degrees. The gun breech is also capable to reprogram fuze timer shells in the breech, which was taken from the gunner's laser rangefinder results. Nonetheless, the controls for the gun, coax, Witch II RWS, and optional ATGMs can be controlled by either the gunner or the commander, depending on their crew configuration program from their Rakata BMS panel units.

Regarding the fire control systems and its BMS, the Z604 utilizes the same C5ISR systems as the JP-2 tank, which can automatically track multiple detected targets, determine the threat level, and give recommendations to the crew or platoon. Furthermore, it can also differentiate and recognize more significant threats, allowing the crew or the FCS to automatically aim at their weak spots with or without human intervention. The tank is equipped with a ballistic computer systems, which can take outside factors such as wind or temperature to make an accurate shot. Given that the computer is also part of the Rakata BMS, platoon commanders can view where their tanks are aimed at, allowing for coordinated fire with the rest of the squad. Just like the FCS, all components of the tank are connected to the BMS system, which gives full control to the crew

Following the Janpian naming conventions, the Project Z604 was officially named as JP-2A, symbolizing it as a variant of the JP-2 tank series. It was upgraded with the most modern technologies the Zelenny Industries can offer, as an answer to the challenges of the new modern world. It was nicknamed "Arbiter" or "Schubaira" in Janpian, and was finally set for production after a series of tests from the Malingrad Proving Grounds. In total, it has a weight of 64 tons, which is much lesser than the original 73 tons from the JP-2, making it a total of 23.44 horsepower-to-ton-ratio. Nonetheless, its introduction is expected to replace or refit all older JP-2 tanks soon.

JP-2 Tank


With the onset of the ever growing threats on the battlefield, the Revolutionary Council has recognized the need to modernize the Janpian tank fleet, proposing to replace the old JP-1 tank models and its variants with a new main battle tank. The criteria for the new tank must have a bustle auto-loader system, C5ISR systems, advanced FCS systems, 360-degree APS, and an all-around armor scheme. It also require the tank to have a western-style battle space, have mine resistance, utilize the integrated Rakata BMS, have a maximum weight of 75 tons or less, and must utilize the new SAUT-130M5 tank gun. Standard specifications such as NBC protection, hunter-killer system, 3rd-Gen FLIR, EMP protection, and all others are also required for the new tank. With these demands in mind, the workers of the Zelenny Industrial Union has designed and presented the ZD-64-2, otherwise known as the JP-2 tank. The said tank is equipped with C5ISR systems, which stand for command, control, computer, cyber information, surveillance, reconnaissance, and high-speed communication systems, allowing it to fight and protect itself in such domains, making it capable, deadly, and on edge in every battlefield.

The JP-2 tank, which made its debut during the Revolution Day Parade, was larger than its predecessor JP-1A tanks and had the similar noticeable external specifications, such as the "Witch" RCWS, 130mm gun, Iron-Tide APS, DIRCM placements, though in a completely different hull. Despite these changes, the armor scheme of the JP-2 tank differs from the JP-1A tank, with the former using a full-scale Chobham composite ceramic armor, depleted uranium plating, and an additional tungsten layer for added protection, while the latter employs a different armor composition and modules. The sides of the JP-2 tank are protected with Dorchester NERA, topped with an IR-lowering coat, making it protected and less visible from FLIR vision. The 130mm gun from the JP-1A was utilized to enhance inter-operability, though its specifications were also updated, adding a thermal sleeve and increasing its reliability against the effects of constant firing. The JP-2 tank was also equipped with new systems and ballistics computers to make it a true C5ISR tank. Additionally, the JP-1's FCS capability was retained and added, allowing it to automatically collate information from the database systems and aim at enemy weak points. A new ballistics vision computer was also added, which allows the crew to track their anti-tank projectiles and view the neutralization system to ensure a mission kill. 

Like its predecessor, the JP-2 tank utilizes the Rakata BMS, which can automatically track multiple detected targets, determine the threat level, and give recommendations to the crew. The system also enables the JP-2 to differentiate and recognize more significant threats, allowing the crew or the FCS to aim at their weak spots automatically. When combined with the 3rd-generation FLIR and Gunner/Commander FCS, the JP-2 will be a testament of "who fired first wins." The tank's protection systems are also beefed up, with an Iron-Tide APS covering potential weak spots. The APS can also report the enemy's firing direction to the crew, allowing them to acknowledge and learn the enemy positions. Furthermore, it can deflect sabot rounds fired by enemy tanks, significantly reducing their penetration by making them hit the JP-2 at non-optimal angles. The JP-2 also has soft-kill countermeasures that utilize a pair of powerful and compact laser jammers attached on the APS or on top of the tank. An active protection system was also added on the back of the gun breech, allowing it to defend itself against top-attack missiles and giving the tank enough time to retreat or neutralize enemy targets. The JP-2 Tank also contains a passive defense system, which allows it to activate smoke grenade dischargers when illuminated or irradiated by a laser beam. This system minimizes the likelihood of being targeted or struck by laser-guided anti-tank missiles. With the help of its DIRCM systems, it can further defend itself from laser-guided missiles by blocking their guidance systems.

The battle stations of the JP-2 are also fully digitalized, enabling machine learning and easing program management. It also allows the crew to switch combat positions, enabling the gunner, commander, and driver to switch roles. This will make tasks and crew replacement easier, which could also be vital during combat. The digitalized battle stations also enable the tank to receive real-time communication from allied drones and remain in contact with the rest of the Revolutionaries. As part of its standard, the tank also has an engine smoke generating system (ESS), and ECM protection. The tank can run up to 59kmph on the road, or 40kmph in off-road conditions. This is all thanks to its powerful V12 AUI Diesel Engine, which allows the tank to have an operational range of 540 kilometers. The tank weighs 73T, with a power-to-weight ratio of 16.1.

AVLB


JP-2-BL

Developed to cross over obstacles, the JP-2-BL is an armored vehicle-launched bridge (AVLB) variant derived from the JP-2 Tank, utilizing the same hull and chassis of the JP-2, all while carrying a foldable 26-meter bridge on its own weight (13 meters when folded). Prior to its development, the Revolutionary Council was demanding for a combat support vehicle for the engineer battalions, with the main purpose of deploying a passable bridge over craters, rivers, anti-tank ditches, or any gap-type obstacle in a short amount of time, along with the intention of performing such operations even under the threat of enemy fire. To answer the following demands, the workers of Zelenny Industrial Union has undertook the efforts to create such a vehicle, utilizing the JP-2 chassis in order to ease logistics or material supply, and to create a common combat vehicle to interoperate with the rest of the Revolutionary Army. Essentially, the JP-2 turret was removed and replaced with a bridge laying platform, in the cost of speed and mobility due to its added weight. Though despite the drawbacks, it is still capable to run up to 68 kmph and have a range of 419 kilometers with a single fuel tank.

In terms of features, the JP-2-BL has an advance automated hydraulics system, which enables the AVLB to deploy the bridge in less than 3 minutes without much assistance. Like the rest of the JP-2 Tanks, the JP-2-BL also has a self-entrenchment tool located between the lower glacis and underneath its hull, making it suitable for engineering battalions thanks to its bulldozing or dirt-moving capacities. It is also protected with the same Yagerov Composite Armor utilized on the JP-2 tank, which protects the crew against HMG fires, RPGs, and even HEAT or APFSDS rounds. NBC protection were also added on to the JP-2-BL, making it protected against chemicals, fires, or radiation attacks. In total, the JP-2-BL only requires a maximum of 2 crew members to operate, with one being the driver, and the other to set the bridge hydraulics. Like the JP-2 Tank, the controls of the JP-2-BL are fully digitalized, which enables the crew to switch combat roles or positions, and allow the crew to independently train with the machine-crew learning program. The digitalized controls also enables the program management to run smoothly and with ease, streamlining the process and making it easier for the crew. Like every vehicles of the Revolutionary Army, the JP-2-BL is also connected to the Rakata BMS, which allows real-time infomation sharing and coordination with the rest of the Army.

In terms of performance, the JP-2-BL operates by anchoring at the bridging site first, in order to stabilize its weight and position over any ground. Once the AVLB is set and the site is determined, the bridge would then be assembled on top of the AVLB, with the first section of the bridge being automatically extended on to a corner to connect with the second section. Once both sections are assembled, the connected bridge would be lowered on to the site under human or AI control, which would guide it and place the bridge over the marked site. This process could be greatly improved with the help of the AVLB's landscape recognition program, which makes it easier for the crew to place the bridge with precision and accuracy, further improving the bridge's structural integrity and reliability.
