-Report to UACHIGHCOM-

From: DEPTECH With the construction of the new series of Paris-class frigates, and Halcyon-class cruisers underway, the UAC Navy has put in a request to develop a new series of Magnetic Accelerator Cannons to replace the MK-1 through MK-7 variants found on older starships. The desire is to increase recharge time, power of each shot, and the size of the projectile fired for smaller vessels. The current proposals include:


 * Including two variations for each size, a heavy coil and light coil. Warships under designations of "light" or "heavy" will receive the type of coil for the MAC.
 * Have a standard munition type for light warships. A 600 ton projcetile composing of either ferrous-tungsten or a ferrous-depleted uranium. The latter will most likely be chosen due to cheaper costs and abundance
 * For frigate-mounted MACs, the desired velocity is at 30,000 meters per second, though research with 20,000 and 10,000 meters per second velocities are being developed as well.
 * Destroyers will be utilizing a smaller 647*1170mm 7.32 ton ferrous-depleted uranium slug propelled at 30,000 meters per second against hostile warships. Despite the smaller size, there will be two mounted per ship, allowing less strain on the reactors for recharging.
 * Cruisers, Super heavy cruisers, and battle cruisers,will receive a larger scaled variant of the Mark II MAC, that fire an 800 ton slug at similar velocities.
 * The development of a new high powered MAC for Orbital Defense Platforms. Inspired by the Spire of David platforms, the new cannon, under the classification of the Mark V "Super MAC", is something that many of the members of High Command have taken interest into. Further information on this will be made in a full report at a future date.
 * Should the program be a success, Capital Warships May recieve this weapon if capable of doing so.
 * The M68 Asynchronous Linear-Induction Motor will be receiving an updated set of capacitors and improve energy efficiency, allowing the "Gauss Cannon" to be able to fire 12 rounds per minute, a significant increase over the previous 6 rounds per minute. This will not change velocity of the cannon.
 * These will be standardized for all UAC warships produced afterwards. We will have further details on more designs and the "Super MAC".
