Artemis, AAIV/CC-11

Daimler-Chrysler AAIV/CC-11 Artemis Armored Air Interdiction Vehicle/Command Carrier

                   

The Artemis is a squat boxy armored vehicle with armored treads on either side with multiple axles and the ability to traverse most terrain including shallow water.

The front of the APC has two high intensity spots located at the top of the sloping front armor between the two front egress hatches [these hatches open upwards and to the rear], the spots have various filters including UV and IR. The body of the Artemis has a small cupola with a hatch that opens onto it from the interior allowing a person to enter exit via this but the cupola also allows an observer to stand there as well to observea nd better understand conditions in the field and is part of its Command duties, just aft of the cupola an eighteen shot armored missile box is attached to the rear of the vehicle and resting above this is the vehicles air interdiction radar system.

The Artemis was designed to fill two roles for the Claremont Confederacy Marine Corps, the first of these was the air interdiction role which it has a beefier than normal radar system allowing for better detection capability and longer range, the second part of the system is an eighteen tube missile system with eighteen tubes and purpose built by Raytheon strictly for the Artemis. The launcher generally uses medium range hyper velocity missiles but can use any type of medium sized missile.

Basically the system uses the tracking radar to incoming aircraft and missile launches and then launches missiles to interdict them.

The secondary role of the Artemis is to act as a command, control, and communications vehicle starting at the company level.
