Featured the concepts for Tom Clancy’s Endwar back in December 2007 but missed out on the additional stuff in the fan site kit because it wasn’t available back then.

Apart from the usual logos, avatars, wallpapers and screenshots, there’s a trio of additional concepts and renders for each faction which you can preview below. The orginal images are 1638×1094 so there’s quite a bit of detail missing in the resized pics in here.

For the United States’ Joint Strike Force (JSF), we have a render of a C1A5 Archon Comand Vehicle. It’s not too far off from the US Army’s future XM1209 Command and Control Vehicle (C2V) which will also have a similiar capability to launch Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

There’s also a concept of a JSF pioneer (combat engineer) in a powered exo-skeleton and armed with a man-portable anti-tank guided missile launcher similiar to the FGM-148 Javelin currently in service.

The third concept for the JSF is a AH-80 Blackfoot, simliar to the cnacelled RAH-66 Comanche minus the tail rotor and a main rotor with two very tough-looking blades as compared to the RAH-66’s five smaller blades.

For the European Federation Enforcer Corps (EFEC), we have a the concept for a 6-wheeled armoured vehicle, the AMX-26 Badger (a lighter, sleeker Finnish Patria AMV?) with 8(!) ready-to-fire ATGMs on a remotely controlled turret.

The heavily-armoured grenadiers (combat engineers) of the EFEC with an improved version of the French FAMAS Felin rifle. Also comes equipped with a laptop for playing Tom Clancy’s EndWar

A render of the EFEC Panther 1A3 tank with a microwave emitter on the turret top. Most probably inspired by the German Leopard 2.

A BTR-112 Cockroach IFV of the Spetsnaz Guard Brigade (SGB). The vehicle which most closely resembles the BTR-112 in real life is the Slovakian BRAMS although the turret is most probably based off the Tunguska or even the German Gepard Flakpanzer fielded in the 1970s.

Finally, we have a concept of the enormous MAZ-660 King Spider, a 14 wheeler command vehicle for the SGB which looks like a mobile fortress combining the multiple rocket launcher of the BM-30 Smerch, the anti-air missile/gun turret of the Tunguska and three additional turrets for close-in defence and a generous helping of smoke grenade launchers.
