Due to escalating world tensions brought about by the aggression of the Protoss and the Cattirians joining the USSR, the following have been given priority:

1. The upgrade of surface and aerospace ships to carry the ALHM and the Mk 70 MVLS is expanded to include second echelon forces. The older fast battleship classes with their improved capabilities have been redeployed to take on new missions. Some like the De Grasse and Enterprise ships have been assigned the battle cruiser mission, while the lighter classes like the Alsace have re-assumed the carrier escort role taken over by the modern Type 81 and Project 25 CGs. A more extensive upgrade, code named Peace Atlantis, involves the low-cost conversion of some of the even older Freedom class battleships to arsenal ships.

2. The ALHM mod 2 is being deployed throughout the surface and aerospace fleet. At a slight range penalty, it carries multiple decoys, which are released during near-terminal phase, forcing enemy air/missile defenses and CIWS to engage more targets thus increasing the missile's survivability.

3. The new T51b power armor is being developed for elite light infantry units. It will incorporate the titanium and ceramic armor of the "a" model but thinner, making it lighter and close-fitting. A more powerful but smaller micro-fusion cell is combined with Cavorite™ lining in the armor to give the wearer great agility, making it ideal for close quarter urban combat. It will initially be rolled out to the Commando regiments and multi-mission expeditionary brigades (MEB) with up to 50% of each unit equipped with the armor, followed by the Rapid Reaction Corps and Marines.
