-AIF Tech Update-

Current research:


 * Personal optical cloaking has been developed for battlefield use, however it is a very bulky unit, and will only be distributed to specialized scout and stealth units. Work is progressing on cloaking away more bands.


 * Improved Fusion Cores have been installed on all ships, increasing efficiency and power output greatly.


 * Heavy lasers have been developed, all new aerospace warships will be fitted with them, and existing ships will receive new weapons as they are refitted.


 * Blink capability has been developed, and is being installed in all ships.

New Research:


 * Active Acoustic Phasing: Active Acoustic Phasing (sonar cloaking) is a process where a submarine or other vehicle is rendered perfectly silent, by actively canceling out or phasing away all noise. This process can also be used to cancel out an acoustic return from an active sonar, rendering a submarine virtually undetectable by most means. This technology requires powerful computers, and will likely require an AI of some sort controlling it. Estimated time: 1 month.


 * Antimatter torpedoes: Work will begin on an MCM sized antimatter torpedo, which can be fitted on warships to use as high power weapons. Antimatter will be bought from EAF or another supplier until we can make our own. Estimated 2 months research time


 * Antimatter production: a means of producing antimatter in a cost effective manner is being developed. Inquires to EAF might be made to further this goal. Estimated 2 months.
