Overview:
Named after the legendary ancient Terran air force squadron famous for entering known enemy
surface-to-air missile engagement zones in order to trigger and destroy them, Irian
Technologies' Wild Weasel WWS-3L is a 'Mech only a maniac or a MechWarrior could love. From
the onset, IT had one task; to create a Light 'Mech both fast and sturdy enough to survive
prolonged periods inside enemy controlled territory in order to probe enemy C3, reveal
hidden enemy 'Mech's, provide targeting data for friendly indirect fire, and if possible,
engage and destroy the target by itself. With the Capellan Confederation on its border and
the Liaoist's propensity for stealth armor, Andurien leaders put a premium on scouts capable
of penetrating the most advanced camouflage systems available. This was a tall order for a
'Mech that could weigh no more than 35 tons. In the end the designers managed to meet all
the design goals in only a 25 ton package.
Capabilities:
Intended as a scout hunter, the Wild Weasel packs every sort of electronic countermeasure,
and counter-countermeasure available. Tasked with creating a 'Mech capable of tracking down
and engaging enemy Light 'Mechs and support vehicles armed with Target Acquisition Gear or
NARC missile beacons, the Wild Weasel carries a Bloodhound Active Probe allowing it to
detect enemy units equipped with Null Signature Systems, Void Signature Systems, Stealth
Armor, and ECM Suites and any battle armor equipped with ECM systems, Mimetic Armor, or any
kind of Stealth Armor. To confound its adversaries, the Wild Weasel is equipped with a Null
Signature System of its own cloaking their heat output and electronic emissions. Only
another 'Mech equipped with a Bloodhound Active Probe can penetrate the null signature
masking.
Once the Wild Weasel has spotted its target, it can use its Series II Pragma improved Narc
Missile Beacon with one ton of ammunition to tag the target for destruction. The standard
load out for the Wild Weasels iNarc is the Nemesis pods, a variant of the standard Homing
Pod which broadcasts a much wide-band homing signal able to override and draw both friendly
and enemy missiles towards the 'Mech to which it is attached. Once it runs out of iNarc
Pods, the Wild Weasel can use its Target Acquisition Gear to designate enemy units for
attack by compatible units using Arrow IV Homing Missiles or Semi-Guided LRM munitions.
Offensively, the Wild Weasel is armed with two Diverse Optics Sunfire Extended Range Medium
Lasers.
The Wild Weasel is extremely fast built around an Omni 175 XL core, the Wild Weasel can
reach cruising speeds of up to 118 kph. When conditions call for it, the MechWarrior can
activate the Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuitry to boost speeds of over 150 kph. The Wild
Weasel needs its speed to compensate for its lack of significant armor. Protected by only a
three ton StarSlab/1d Light Ferro-Fibrous shell, speed and its advanced electronic
obfuscation is the Wild Weasel's primary shield. It was also designed with an extremely
narrow and low profile making it even more difficult to target by enemy 'Mechs. The one
complaint pilots have had is the lack of jump capability which limits the 'Mech's mobility
in rough terrain.
Deployment:
The Wild Weasel was initially deployed with the First Andurien Rangers during their raid on
Principia. Their extensive suite of active and passive electronic snoopers and
countermeasures proved exceptionally useful against the CCAF enemy. During the Victoria War
the First Andurien Rangers took Betelgeuse and Sigma Mare from the Capellan Confederation in
3104. Once again the Wild Weasels played a pivotal role in flushing out the Capellan
stealth units and designating them for targeting from friendly 'Mechs. After the initial
conquest of Sigma Mare, the Rangers left only a small garrison to hold the planet. As a
result, when Warrior House Imarra struck, ADF forces were incapable of detecting the
attacking forces before it was too late. The re-conquest of Sigma Mare brief and brutal.
Variants:
The only known variant of the Wild Weasel, the WWS-4L, swaps out the standard cockpit for a
more cramped small cockpit and removes one of the two ER medium lasers and replaces it with
a Guardian Electronic Countermeasure Suite and added a Supercharger which boosts its max
ground speed to nearly 195 kph. The reduced organic offensive capability is a topic of
debate amongst Wild Weasel pilots.
