[MOC] Lego Future Warfare Series: Episode 3 - Heavy Equipments Test Ground

[ParmBrick]

Hi guys! Here we go with Episode 3!

New technologies are reshaping the battlefield: data networks, satellite communications, jamming, and much more. Communicating effectively, efficiently, and rapidly becomes crucial, as is disrupting enemy communications, predicting their moves, blinding them, and deafening them.

The GeNMA is a portable multiband antenna. This antenna can concentrate communications into a very narrow "cylinder," preventing them from being intercepted or jammed. Its primary use is to create radio communication links between different locations, so it's best to position it high up and not be obstructed by buildings, trees, hills, or mountains.
The SRaLJA is a lightweight, portable jammer module. Different capacities are available: the more powerful and more antennas it has, the larger the area it covers. This module is primarily placed near the front, or in specific locations, to jam enemy communications and create blind spots where special forces can operate undisturbed and keep their movements unknown to their enemies.

The AIST is a robotic turret equipped with an M60 machine gun and a grenade launcher, capable of autonomously identifying soldiers and light aerial drones. Once identified, it engages and rapidly eliminates them: Plighia's army uses an electronic recognition system for all its soldiers, drones, and vehicles, system called "BODYGUARD" ensuring that the AIST does not recognize them as hostile and eliminates them. The AIST, however, does not engage the enemy when a friendly soldier is in its line of fire.
The DiMDET Mk. 4 is a directed energy turret (in this case microwave and sound) used to neutralize enemy soldiers and drones at medium-to-short range; it is a non-lethal device. It is also used by police to disperse and remove protesters, or to protect sites of special interest.

Great collection of electronic equipment. Nice work on the various details for the antenna arrays. My only question is, M-60? Those are ancient. Maybe a MG-3 or M-240.

Thank you very much! Actually Plighia Army decided to adopt the M60 family of MG beacause of their letality (7.62 mm) at medium range, and also because of the surplus of those in arsenal (no war fought during Cold War). But, hey, you're damn right about the oldness of M60 family of MG, and you'll see some variation in my next episodes
