Arms manufacturing and defense contracting are among the largest industries in Loyan, making up roughly seven percent of the GDP. It is a vast sector of the economy, employing roughly half a million people directly and another half a million through civil subcontractors. But now, anti-war sentiment spreading throughout the Republic and continuous spending cuts on the country's defense budget threaten to undermine the foundation of the industry. With domestic demand breaking down, Loyan's defense industry looks aboard for business as the State government pulls down old restrictions on arms export.
The December Defense and Arms Convention
A big welcome to our oversea guests who came here today!
In the vast empty showcase hall of Na Sui Civic Center, the footsteps of sales agents echo out in rhythm. Posters are hang and LCD screens are rig up on scaffolding. Agents fix up their tie and check their face for blemish. In one corner, stood the stand for Fighter Tech Loyan, the main producer of military aircraft for the LAA.
"Hows my makeup?" Lelo asks.
"You look great it's perfect," Laura, his cheeky assistant replies. "I have the ad movie loaded into the LCD screens, we're ready to go!"
"Not a moment too soon," Lelo remarks as he looks down on his watch. "Alright, let's get this show on the road!"
It has been a year since the government removed the export regulations on the company, and the directors were anxious to receive their first foreign orders. Before that, Fighter Tech Loyan was a state-control Fighter Aircraft Division of Loyanese Labs, serving solely to the Loyanese military. Many other companies and firms have been semi-privatized by the government, and they too were attempting to etch out a market share in the international market, dominated by Delfian and Xyraeli defense companies. This convention will be a important step in attracting costumers and establishing international awareness of Loyan's matured defense industry.

Introduction
The YJ-83 supersonic anti-ship missile is a major upgrade of the YJ-82, with extended range and improved guidance. The original YJ-82 itself is a superb weapon that has seen ten years of service in the Loyanese Navy and continual to serve as a effective deterrence against modern warships. We have taken aspects of the original and augmented with the latest Loyanese technologies to create a even better missile that will stay in step with naval countermeasures of the late.
In today's fleet actions, anti-ship missiles must deal in a ever increasing electronic combat environment. The YJ-83's advance monopulse radar homing system gives it a high resistance against jamming from enemy ships and aircraft. It can also be fitted with a dual infrared seeking or infrared/tv homing system, available on request by clients. These systems allow even more jamming resistance, increasing the chance of a first shot hit.
To further improve resistance against enemy countermeasures such as CIWS and air defense systems, the YJ-83 performs evasive maneuvers during the terminal stage to counter these threats. The missile is also compatible with many electronic systems, and can be linked with aircraft radar to allow target acquisition, mid-course correction and target information. All these features allow the YJ-83 to achieve a high standard of lethality compare to most anti-ship systems.
Operation
Target is acquire by airborne or shipborne radar. The target's location, range, and velocity is sent to the missile control system where the data is used to calculate a firing solution that will best place the missile once it reaches it's terminal phase. The firing solution is sent to the missile's inertia guidance systems. Once the firing command is given, the YJ-83 is launch out by a rocket boaster, which accelerates the missile to Mach 0.9 within a few seconds. Once this speed is reached, the rocket boaster drops off and the turbojet engine takes over.
During the midcourse, the missile flies under its inertia guidance system and may receive flight correction from airborne radar to maintain accuracy even if the target changes course or speed. A laser altitude system keeps the missile flying 20-30 m above the water to minimize detection until the missile is close enough.
At 15 to 18 kilometers from the targeted spot, the terminal radar guidance system switches on and searches the area for the target. If fitted with the infrared/tv imaging homing system, operators may select the targets visible to minimize collateral damage and increase resistance against countermeasures.The missile then accelerates to supersonic speed (>Mach 1.3) and drops down to 3-5m above the water. During it's progress to the acquire target, the missile performs a series of turn maneuvers to evade CIWS and air defense munitions.
Once the missile reaches it's target, the missile dives down to hit the ship at the waterline, maximizing damage and one hit kill probability. The missile uses its supersonic momentum to penetrate through the hull of the target. The high explosive warhead is set to explode once the missile is inside the hull.
Third party tests have shown that the YJ-83 has a hit probability as high as 98% against conventional warships, and a high chance against Rolling Airframe Missiles. Our analysts have shown that the YJ-83 is superior in effectiveness when compare to the Xyraeli Moskit anti-ship missile. Adding high standard manufacturing and module design to allow continual upgrade, the YJ-83 is a feasible choice for any navy needing deterrence against modern warships.
Cost
Unit price for our product vary depending on the specification of the client. The basic YJ-83 system is priced at $750,000. Our company also carries a $8 million Three Year Service plan that will maintain and service your YJ-83 systems. Upgrades will also come with a discount for Service plan clients. If needed, our well professed technical teams will convert and modify your existing systems to be compatible with our product.

"Well certainly, we do have the level III full suit assembly. Similar construction, less protection against hard steel and AP rounds, but lighter weight. It's use by our police force and army personnel when the mission requires protection on the mobility side of things. It protect the wearer from most soft core rifle rounds and pistols hits. It weights in at just 13 pounds with frontal plate insert. You have a choice of either UHMWP or Aramid soft vest, the later being more expensive.
For the Mark 8, the price is around $1200 with frontal plates; the Aramid fireproof version is at $1800. Plate replacement is at around $100 each, $550 for the entire front and back plate set. The vest replacement cost is $800, with bulletproof sections for repair at $200 apiece. The Mark 8 is a good price for those that don't need overkill protection."
The vest is a module construction, so they consist of multi-section construction (four) which can be partially repaired rather than replacing the entire vest. The bulletproof sections are secure by pockets and straps, enabling quick fix out in the field. The only time that you might want to replace the vest is if the straps, neck and shoulder guard, or pockets are damaged. Plates are the same, separated into crown, torso, and waist/groin. Back plates are separated into two sections as well. This construction also allows for more flexibility in movement.
