Current Developments of UFE Military

Background
After the end of the first phase of Galactic War 5, a huge surge in research and development has been seen throughout the UFE Military. This is one of the McMurry Doctrine to counter the Communist Union and also to protect allies and valuable assets. Under President McMurry, research and development has skyrocketed and is vital to UFE's Defense and also, to GATO which has been severely weakened by the recent galactic war.

Jupiter 2 ISBM (Inter-Stellar Ballistic Missile)
The Jupiter 2 ISBM is currently under development as a successor of the Jupiter 1 ISBM. The Jupiter 2 ISBM is expected to have double the range of Jupiter 1, ten times the damage and quadruple the speed. The Jupiter 2 will have a speed of up to Warp 4.5 and is able to dodge and avoid interceptors, except beam-interceptors.

Specifications:

Type: Inter-Stellar Ballistic Missile

Range:The entire of CU

Dimensions: 148m in Length, 42m in width

Number planned:150-300 trillion

Status: Under development

Advanced Kinetic Energy Ballistic Missile Defense System or Jupiter BMD System
The Advanced Kinetic Energy Ballistic Missile Defence System or the Jupiter Ballistic Missile Defence System is a system designed to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles from long-range. It is built around the Advanced Kinetic-Energy Shoot-to-kill System (AKESS) and is designed to shoot down Salome's newly developed hypersonic ballistic missiles. As it is a laser weapon, it has unlimited ammunition and can shoot down unlimited number of missiles, but its ability is only reduced by covert attack or a direct attack on the sensor systems and batteries themselves. With its newest sensor system, it can detect and track more than 45 billion targets simultaneously. The laser itself also travels at up to Warp 6.0, meaning it can destroy the missile even before it can reach 50 light years from its target.

Specifications:

Type: Ballistic Missile Defence Laser System

Range: Sensor range up to 41.5 million LY or more, Intercepting range up to 30 million LY or more

Launch Platform: Mk12 6-cell launcher, with 1 laser turret or cannon in each cell

Cost per battery: $150 million Earth Dollars

1 Battery: Consists of 214 platforms, with 10 launchers per platform, 8 sensor systems and 14 power systems

Number planned:15,000 batteries

Status: Under development, reaching initial operational capability in 2255
