Conscription > Concept Design (V-26A) > Osprey gets defensive
The V-26A aircraft is a special-purpose aircract utilized by the United States Marine Corps. Visually, it is almost identical to the V-22 Osprey. However, the V-26A is modified to include a laterally expanded cargo bay, expanded wingspan, a nose-mounted GAU-8 Avenger 30mm cannon, and the aircraft is skinned in matte-black, radar-reflective paint. The aircaft is designed for high risk infiltration and exfiltration as well as close air support. I need assistance with visuals, concept sketches, etcetera.

It's a nice idea, and whilst all of thats feasible and possible... it doesn't really even need concept art.... Just get on Google Warehous or Turbo Squid and edit an osprey... BUT... (the big but) The copncept of a Gaus 30mm Avenger in an ospreys ridiculous It'd just not work. Sorry:L Maybe if the osprey was solely a gunship platform with that ONLY (+/- a few vulcans)

The V-22 Osprey was originally designed with a forward mounted weapon system very similar to the 30mm in operation but it was shelved. This would need to be a larger aircraft obviously. As far as scale, we are talking closer to a C-130. Interestingly enough, the first tilt-wing aircraft designs were for such an aircraft with four proproptors instead of two.

The Marine Corps Special Purpose Cargo Containment System is a three-tiered shelving system designed to contain the MCSPIUs. The system has two bays, one forward, one aft, each containing fifteen MCSPIUs which are tethered together for rapid deployment via two drag parachutes. I need assistance with visuals, concept sketches, etcetera.

NOTE:

Conscription > Concept Design (MCSPIU) > Some extra information
The Marine Corps Special Purpose Infiltration Unit is a Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System capable single-occupant air delivery vehicle designed to allow the rapid deployment of Marines in hostile areas. While similar in concept to Robert Heinlein's orbital capsules, the MCSPIU is designed to be delivered at relatively low-altitudes and provide only limited protection from small arms fire. I need concept art, sketches, technical drawings, etcetera.

I would like some more specific information about what the MCSPIU is.

Can it fly on it's own (on short distances) as a glider or does need a transport plane all the time?
What the size? enough to fit one person in it completely (with equipment) or has it a harness.
How fast would such a thing go and stay safe.
Out of the description it's clear that it is a light vehicle, what's the maximum weight?
How is a person positioned: on his back and the landing is feet first and horizontically, or is it on the belly and does it land as a plane does.
Are they reusable, or just like ejection seats: to be thrown away after use.

That are all my questions for now.

Brian H. Warren created a new production "Conscription"

Following the eruption of several brushfire wars in Latin America, and amidst a crippling recession, the United States institutes a policy of mandatory military service for all males aged 18 to 39 for a period of two years. As small localized conflicts in Honduras, Belize, and Costa Rica intensify, spilling into Panama and threatening the security of the Panama Canal, the United States escalates its involvement in the region by deploying elements of the II Marine Expeditionary Force and the Marine Special Operations Command.

It is here we find our protagonist and the men of Delta Company, 3rd Marine Special Operations Battalion embroiled in a bitter struggle against an entrenched enemy, unforgiving terrain, and the Marine Corps Asset Development Command who will do anything to keep them operational.

Addendum: This film could easily be considered a cross between Jacob's Ladder and Black Hawk Down. The conflict is merely a stage on which a deeper story play out about the men and the trauma they experience.
