The view of "Harpoon" prototype will have no much different from the "Lewis"-type

The Lewis-class Kinetic turret is an archaic design, a true projectile weapon, firing 240mm explosive shells in a double-barrel configuration, not unlike the weapons found on naval warships of the Solar era. Used heavily by Bretonia in the early centuries of Sirius colonization, however, these weapons were made obsolete by shield technology, which rendered this type of weapon almost useless. Most Lewis cannons were decommissioned or destroyed in combat, but a small number remain in museums or military armouries. These remaining cannons could be recommissioned and improved with modern hardware to restore their destructive capabilities.

It was decided to give the project a name "Harpoon". The improvement should contain the following:
  • The powerplants have evolved far away from their ancestors from the beginning of the colonization era, therefore an upgraded cannon will get new powerlines at the very priority. Unable to sustain heat or other types of damage as well, lines every single turret is under threat of overheat and a further meltdown of the structure.

  • The new turret requires new protection: the materials with increased durability and heat protection will be used for the structure itself. However, the tower should remain enough mobile to fulfil the tracking capacities of modern warfare systems, therefore the used materials will be light but well-protected from various exposures.

  • An old shells, used to "Lewis" turrets, were incapable to breach the shield, however, the solution is to include a weak EMP field generator to the construction of every projectile to provide the "Harpoon" cannon with ability to, at least, damage opponents' shields.

Theoretical characteristics:
Range Projectile speed Rate of fire
4500m 900m/s 12s

Liberty experimental carrier "Powell", equipped with the triple "Lewis" cannons

As a platform for test performance, it has been decided to use an experimental carrier "Powell", constructed in the efforts to reverse engineer the design choices of the Gallic battleship - or known as the Enclave warship of the "Richelieu"-class battleship. First efforts to reconstruct a "Richelieu"-class Battleship into the current LXC Powell has begun in early 827, after the warship was moved into the Alaska system, with the first designed being taken to the almost completed LNS Brooklyn - the test phases begun later on before the ship was re-christened as LXC Powell.

If the first stage shall be provided with sufficient amount required for the project resources, the R&D team will upgrade "Lewis"-class cannons to "Harpoon" prototypes in no time. Besides, throughout all stages of field testing, the ship will remain within the 30K zone of Norfolk shipyard in New York. This is to account for any possible emergency during the test.

Brief introduction has been prepared by project lead Anthony Latif of Ageira Technologies.
