 The Railgun Air Defense System (RADS) is a land-based railgun system that provides land-to-air defense within a specific radius based on accessible rail lines. The turret system is an armored unit mounted on a self-propelled rail car that can move in either direction on the track. A long-range laser is mounted at the top of the turret and has full degree mobility, limited only by distance to the target. Smaller standard ammunition (explosive) guns are mounted on either side for addition support and close-range firing. The rail car is squat and heavily armored in order to sustain multiple hits if necessary. It is powered by a small electric motor fueled by batteries and supplemented by solar panels. |

Most excellent. Certainly gives the idea of "catching a train" a whole new meaning!  |

One of the things that always bugged me about this; why Dune?

Dune? This isn't from Dune. That's actually a scan of my 1983 instruction manual from Astrosmash.  |

I was so sure that that was the second biggest Ordos Tank from Dune2000... Well, anyway...

It does look like that now that you mention it. Now the question is: Who ripped off who first?  |
