       DEN Research, Development, and Internal Affairs
       By: Caos Date: May 7, 2015, 9:48 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       ((I don't know why. I just don't feel right when I use the words
       'In Secret'. I just feel... Like I'm trying to get away with
       something really stupid. Mostly, I think I just feel like I
       actually have to REMIND you guys which is secret. I don't think
       we're this stupid :/))
       The Namenian Government has recently announced a massive
       infrastructure project on the entire nation, designed to help
       sustain the current population until they can expand to more
       lands around them. This infrastructure project includes a high
       speed internet connection that will expand to all parts of the
       country, through massive high speed fiber optic cables that were
       specifically designed for DEN. These high speed fiber optic
       cables have some server stations that will boost the signal
       every so often, and will be under the roads. In addition, a
       large highway system is under construction that will connect all
       cities quickly, efficiently, and without fail.
       This highway system will include the fiber optic cables that run
       underneath the roads, as well as a heating system for the roads.
       The heating system is designed to remove the threat of ice or
       snow from the roads, as well as make it clear from the air. In
       addition, the highway system, and all roads, will feature
       wireless hotspots that connect to the fiber optic cables
       directly, allowing for internet on the go without fail. These
       options can be deactivated in case of threat, however, and can
       even be deactivated in sections.
       Another development is the construction of a massed railway. New
       train rails will be established throughout the nation, with the
       focus being maglev trains for safety and speedy transitions.
       These trains are needed, as the rails currently would be iced
       over. Each city, as well as several hubs in the countryside,
       will be connected by rail, and a massive freight rail system is
       to be constructed from the ports, airports, and resources.
       Another massive project is what is called the 'Sky Farms of
       DEN', which are specialized skyscrapers that are built to house
       massive vertical farms. These will be designed and built for
       efficiency, and are expected to help create a self sufficient
       nation in no time. In addition to these designs, a hub of
       efficient, clean energy is to be developed. Geothermal, wind,
       solar, and hydroelectric power is being developed, with the
       current prototypes being tested. These will help to supply a
       massive amount of power for the nation, if they can. Currently,
       a clear solar panel that can be seen through just like a window
       has been developed, and will hopefully be installed on
       buildings.
       In the economic department, using the same solar panels that
       were clear, smartphones now include their own charging. Simply
       leaving the item in the sun will charge the phone, but not
       completely. These smartphones, tablets, and laptops will be sold
       on the market for lower prices, and are expected to outperform
       other items of the same caliber.
       Currently, the idea of Quantom computing is being researched
       into, as while the country is already famed for it's
       supercomputers of incredible power, faster and more efficient
       computers are desired.
       In Secret
       ((As if I'd make this public anyway... Aw well. Here goes...))
       Namenian researchers, using information gleaned from scientists
       around the world, have begun the research of nuclear power,
       engineering, and weaponry. Currently, they were designing and
       conducting ways of enriching uranium for the production of
       nuclear power plants, as well as weaponry. They are currently
       stockpiling uranium and are using depleted uranium in the
       production of non nuclear weaponry, such as armor piercing
       rounds like the APFSDS.
       Large, conventionally fueled, high power generators and power
       plants were being installed in major fortresses to help power
       them, until such a time as the nuclear powerplants could be
       produced. These would be hidden in strongholds of their own, and
       defended from attack if possible.

       DEN Sky Farms are now looming over the landscape, dominating
       what seems to be most of the prairies and plains. The massive
       farms and other projects were well nearing completion, and new
       leaps in quantom computing has allowed for the first quantom
       computer to be created.
       In Secret
       The first completely self sustained nuclear reaction in a
       reactor has been accomplished, and is slowly being researched
       into weapons application. All armor piercing rounds are now DU,
       and some have a DU with Tungsten coating on them. The fortresses
       which were commissioned have finally been built, and the
       advanced nuclear reactors that were created by the scientists
       have been installed in the plants to power them. Massive missile
       silos in the mountains, as well as mountain fortresses, tunnels,
       bunker complexes, and trenches have all been completed, and a
       dedicated AA, artillery, armor, and infantry force has been
       posted.

       In Secret
       A Tactical Armored Light Operator Suit (TALOS) robotic
       exoskeleton is under development by the military's R&D
       department, designed to be able to grant the wearer extreme
       strength, and other abilities in combat. Two versions will be in
       development by the military: Infantry, and Armor.
       The TALOS suit will include features such as advanced
       liquid/Kevlar body armor, including a small layer of titanium
       composites to harden and protect against impact. Under the armor
       will be an exoskeleton that increases the strength of the
       wearer, as well as the speed and precision, allowing for stable
       use of their weaponry. On the back of the suit will be the
       newest advanced battery pack, allowing for twenty four hours of
       continuos use. It is able to be recharged by any electric
       outlet, or power source. On the shoulders, and included in the
       backpack of the unit is a powerful solar panel, which can charge
       the suit in one to two hours.
       The entire uniform is outfitted with bio and external sensors to
       be able to monitor external and internal environments, such as
       temperature and pulse. This information is displayed within the
       suit's computer and HUD system, which gives the wearer any
       information necessary.
       The shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, and helmet include a
       small radar center that allows the wearer to detect units around
       the wearer, up to fifty feet away. This information is presented
       on the HUD and processed by the computer. Included in specific
       parts is a composite armor system in the chest and shoulder,
       composed of DU/Ceramic glass mesh, giving it good penetration
       protection against rounds to the chest, head, and shoulders,
       where the vitals are. Included in the helmet, backpack,
       shoulders, and elbows is a communication system, allowing for
       connection to AEWACS, armor, and incoming aircraft, decreasing
       response time and increasing efficiency.
       The Armored version will be used by the armored divisions for
       use in their tanks, which would allow soldiers to increase their
       efficiency in combat, by either increasing their loading, or
       increasing their accuracy. This has little armor, and instead
       features an advanced computer system, cooling, and linkup with
       the tank's communication, visual, early warning, and certain
       weapons systems. Using the helmet, a soldier can control the
       remote .50 on the top, who's visual system is already
       incorporated. This is different for every person.
       For instance, a commander would be in control of the .50 (or 40
       mm), smoke grenade launchers, navigation, laser designator and
       range finders, as well as overall control. A gunner would be
       able to control the tank's visual system, and the advanced
       computer would process more information than he could,
       increasing control and accuracy, as well as be able to hook up
       to the autoloader and change which rounds enter the gun, and
       control the missile launchers. The driver would be able to
       control the tank's visual systems in regards to driving, as well
       as be able to view the status of the engine, transmission, fuel
       systems, speed, tracks, and forward facing plates. Each one of
       these systems, however, are not set in stone, and the systems
       can be interchanged, allowing a soldier to operate different
       vehicles, as well as different positions more efficiently than
       they could before.
       An infantry suit would be equipped with utilities for holding
       ammunition, grenades, weapons, or other items. The helmet
       includes not only the HUD on all suits, but also includes a
       laser designator and range finder on the side, increasing both
       accuracy and enabling targeting of enemy static structures. The
       forearms both include a small combat knife that can be unlocked
       if needed in a position of close combat.

       The DEN Maglev Train, named the Zephyr, was constructed in the
       largest hub of cities, from Hochburg to Tetrarch, with stops
       along the way. It was recently reported setting a speed record
       of 300 mph with passengers onboard. Currently, the only design
       is the passenger train, but a freight train design is being
       pursued that would be able to boast speeds of near 170 miles per
       hour, if possible. Research into launches of large aircraft or
       space craft by maglev has begun, as the idea of a large maglev
       launcher would be able to save fuel.

       Around the nation, large minefields are being constructed, and
       anti aircraft, anti armor and infantry, and missile defense
       systems have been placed along the border. Companies of soldiers
       have been ordered to patrol around the minefield to halt any
       intruders. In addition, the entire nation has been declared a no
       fly zone, barring certain requirements.
       In Secret
       Thousands of construction crews have begun assembling to survey
       the construction of large walls around the cities, to act in the
       defense of the country in case of attack. A large wall around
       the country itself is also being surveyed for construction, and
       many different designs are being pursued. Large military
       protected super ports are being constructed, as well as large
       missile defense and offensive weapons on the ports.

       The TALOS suit has been completed, the prototype tested, and the
       gear put into production, going first to the special operations
       units, and the Honor guard. The foundation for the first pieces
       of the walls around the cities have been laid, and the wall that
       would go around DEN was beginning to be dug in, the construction
       crews readying the foundation.

       DEN Military has begun development of both a designated marksman
       rifle known as DM-1, and an all around weapon, known as the
       RMG-1. The RMG-1 is to have a caliber of 7.62 mm, have a range
       the same as an assault rifle, have the accuracy and power of a
       marksman rifle, have the suppression power of an LMG, have
       single, semi, 2x burst, and automatic, and have an automatic
       fire rate of both 700 RpM and 1,300 RpM. It is to have a
       shorter, compact length, and must have a compact stock. A
       prototype has already been given for one of them:

       The DEN military has begun construction of a new tank, fitted
       with a 125 mm L55 gun for maximum efficiency. It will include
       upgrades in armor, penetration, range, speed, communications,
       suspension, and versatility, as well as be able to stay working
       longer. Currently, it's pricing is about 10 million each, and it
       is expected to go down soon.

       The first nuclear weapons test was held at the far ends of the
       Alaskan territories, and was detonated in the evening. A large,
       250 kiloton nuclear explosion was set off, known only to DEN at
       the time. The perfect place to conduct the tests, Alaska, was
       far enough away that no one would know. Ever. Now, an even more
       powerful nuclear weapon at 50 megatons is being researched, and
       will have a three stage thermonuclear design. The smallest
       nuclear weapon in their arsenal is currently the NA-1, a 100
       kiloton nuclear 16 inch round for the Battleships.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In Secret
       A secret nuclear weapons test was conducted in the north with a
       massive yield of around 10 megatons, putting DEN scientists
       further on the way to nuclear domination. With this information,
       current nuclear reactors are being designed more efficient, and
       much smaller than before. In addition to the nuclear tests, a
       small, thermonuclear weapon with a yield of 500 kilotons was
       developed, and is small enough to fit in a MIRV missile. In
       addition, the creations of ICBMs has been sparked, and with it,
       a MIRV booster that can deliver a maximum of five MIRVS. Because
       of this new development,  a small, 25 ton yield nuclear weapon
       (can destroy two to four blocks) has been created, with a
       diameter of 125 mm, allowing it to be fitted onto a tank and
       launched. In addition, a 55 ton yield nuclear weapon has been
       created for the 155 mm gun, and an even powerful last used
       version with 10 kilotons has been created for the 175 mm and 200
       mm guns.
       With the creation of the ICBMs, all ballistic missiles now have
       variations that can be launched by nuclear submarines, and the
       current ballistic submarine can now carry twelve MIRVS and two
       single, 10 megaton launchers. In total, around 62 cities could
       be wiped out by one of these submarines. As each fleet carries
       four ballistic missile subs, the USSDEN has authorized
       construction of fifteen ballistic submarines, and the four
       submarines from the Defensive Fleet, and the four from the
       Fourth Fleet, have been launched. At least two ballistic
       submarines from each other fleet, totaling around six now, has
       been fitted with MIRVS and also deployed as a secondary strike
       capability. The submarines are to be spaced out evenly among the
       other states, staying well within range of the missiles, at
       around 500 to 1000 miles from the shore. These stealthy
       ballistic submarines have been outfitted with stealth equipment
       to reduce sonar detection range and sonar detection as a whole.
       In addition, new magnetic drives labeled as Caterpillars are
       being developed, and will be fitted on the new Trident Class
       Ballistic submarine in development, which is expected to be the
       largest submarine in existence. In anticipation of these
       submarines, six attack submarines from each fleet, and all
       twelve from the fourth fleet, has been deployed to help detect
       and report on ship positions and possible ballistic submarine
       positions. Every so often, the recorded data is to be sent back
       to Homeland for evaluation, recording, and labeling. In addition
       to this, classified stealth recon planes (Darts) are to be flown
       over superpowers to look for anything out of the ordinary, and
       the monitoring of potential enemy ports has been started, to
       look for any submarine launches.
