August 18, 0086 UC EFGF-DD-FPG-6001 rev C EFGF FlexPowered GM Design Document Design Document for the RGM-F79 FlexPowered GM Abstract: The previously developed high-output combination backpack/chest Minovsky systems produce significantly more power than any currently fielded GM design can utilize. Recent advancements in power routing and structural integrity have shown results that, if implemented, would be able to translate this extra power into extra performance, greatly increasing the GM line's combat effectiveness. Therefore, a new prototype suit will be developed. It will combine the high output power of RGM-79 Powered GM core with structurally improved limbs, a FlexPower routing system, a modern 360° cockpit, additional thrusters, and new armaments. This new design will not only allow full utilization of a higher power system, but on demand routing will allow even further gains to the system that needs it most at the moment.

In 0083 UC, a combined backpack/chest Minovsky system was designed to provide high power without miniaturization increasing the cost/complexity; however, the extra performance (15% more than even the current GM II) destructively overstressed the non- gundarium GM frames. See reference documentation EFGF-TR- PGM-9005, “Powered GM Field Test Report” for associated data. Figure 1: High Output Reactor Early R&D into RMS-179 improvements, aimed at developing parts for the next generation mass produced mobile suit (a “GM III”), has already generated a new limb design that shows significant improvement over the current generation (ref. EFGF-RDR-G3L-3007). The performance-to-cost ratio allows select reinforcement with Gundarium alloys. This combination allows the new limbs to withstand the additional force of the large Figure 2: GM II vs Prototype Legs generator, while adding mobility through refined thrusters. The ongoing development of the RX-178 movable frame concept, while not yet complete, has yielded advancement in the rapid, efficient, and seamless rerouting of power among core components. By not including provisions for transformation capability and using external routing, a GM usable “FlexPower” prototype system has been developed. This system allows for the normal distribution of power internal to the unit, but then uses the external routing to move any extra energy from components that are not using 100% at the moment to the components with the highest demand. These advancements, when combined, allow for unprecedented maneuverability in a mass production mobile suit, without sacrificing armor or strength. As for armaments, the extra strength afforded by this system allows the unit to carry the five layer composite shield (w/ dual vulcan cannons) that was previously limited to low mobility defensive units, without a reduction in capability. Instead, the shield has been fitted with boosters on the rear at the far top and bottom and a limited remote drone capability, allowing for increased speeds outside of atmosphere and additional tactical options. Offensively, forearm mounted beam daggers add to the traditional beam sabers to allow the suit to further exploit its physical advantage in close combat. A single dual-mode beam rifle provides tactical options of rapid fire close in or longer range charged shots without needing multiple Figure 3: Armaments weapons. Two small capacity shoulder mounted missile racks are included (Beam Sabers Not Shown) as auxiliary weaponry to provide fire support while keeping weight and power draw low.
