Description/Role: The Locksmith AC-260 Sledge-Breaker is a high altitude, ground attack heavy gunship designed by Locksmith Aero-Astronautics corporation for the sith empire to support troops when in permissive airspace. While the Galactic republic is able to draw upon massive reserves of potential manpower, the sith empire with its lower population is not so lucky. The AC-260 Sledge-Breaker contains many features that make supporting the ground troops both safe and effective.
As part of the Next Generation Heavy Gunship project, the AC-260 Sledge-Breaker is one of the most powerful and versatile weapons on the modern battlefield. It is loaded with two GAU-12 Heavy Gatling blasters, each firing at 4600 rounds per minute. These weapons are combat tested to engage, suppress, and kill heavily armored infantry and light vehicles while also doing non-superficial damage to medium vehicles including Infantry Fighting Vehicles. With proprietary firing solutions calculated by a droid brain over 75 times per second, the GAU-12 firing even on fully automatic is accurate within a .5 meter radius at 4 kilometers.
For entrenched enemies or heavily armored targets, the rapid firing L-60 plasma autocannon by McMillan Arms corporation is an appropriate weapon to use. At a fire rate of 120 rounds per minute, this weapon is capable of quickly and effectively neutralizing large groups of enemies with little trouble. Like the GAU-12, the L-60 weapons system mounted on the AC-260 is equipped with a dedicated droid brain which calculates a once again proprietary fire control solution, this time at 120 times per second. It is capable of accurately hitting a human sized target from over 7 kilometers away.
The AC-260 Sledge-Breaker is the first platform to mount the Sledgehammer Air to Ground missile. It is an all purpose next generation supersonic cruise missile equipped with a variety of features which include remote guidance, GPS guidance, semi-active radar guidance, fully autonomous target hunting, and anti-radiation. Not only that, the Sledgehammer missile contains a powerful computer that is capable of not only running the missile's onboard passive and active jamming but is also capable of evasive maneuvers should the enemy spot and attempt to shoot the missile down. On top of all of this is the missile's maximum effective range, a staggering 150 kilometers.
The GAU-12, the L-60, the Sledgehammer, a sophisticated and comprehensive sensor and electronic warfare suite, and the training, craftsmanship, and the dedication of Locksmith Aero-Astronautics corporation's finest engineers and scientists, all coming together to create a truly Next Generation Gunship.
