- Top Secret Report to the High Command -

Despite our ongoing commitments in New Guinea and South Korea, we have initiated the following upgrades to our forces which will be completed in due time:

1. Tiger Arc is a new detection and target designation system that integrates the Air & Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) mounted on surface and aerospace ships, the land-based Tiger Eye mounted on mobile air-defense and fixed ground platforms, and the Slip-space Detection System mounted on aerospace ships, select surface ships, and ground installations. Tiger Arc enables the continuous tracking of targets by different systems as they come into range and seamless "handover" between each, allowing a bogey initially detected and targeted by one system to be retargeted and destroyed by another. Combined with the built-in active radar, IR and electro-optical guidance of AFOH missiles, rocket-assisted guided projectiles and aerial mines, Tiger Arc gives AFOH weapons platforms "one shot, one kill" capability. As an example, an FBW-N missile launched by a Fantome bomber within the atmosphere can be retargeted by Scimatar frigate in high Earth orbit to hit a moving aerospace target without just relying on the missile's onboard guidance systems (the FBW-N having a much longer range than the bomber's radar).

2. All frontline aerospace, surface and submarine carriers are receiving new, much smaller nuclear reactors and electro-magnetic systems (replacing hydraulic and mechanical systems), freeing up space for aircraft. This means that carriers will be able to embark the same number of advanced jet aircraft as the piston-engined aircraft they initially commissioned with. This means the venerable Colbert-class carriers will now be able to operate a mix of up to 150 Diable and Vautour fighters, a vast increase from 90 aircraft after they transitioned from the Corsair and Dauntless. (OOC: This will allow our carriers to embark the same number of aircraft in RP as they do IG.)
