Transphasic missile (TPM) production has begun at 2 secret sites on New Arit and Proxima 7. The main production facility in orbit around Solaris was destroyed in a Utrek attack a couple of months ago but luckily the DDS was already building new factories at a number of locations. The new factories are all smaller facilities but their dispersal and better protection should ensure supply is maintained. Once both factories reach full output in a few weeks then (along with the 2 small existing factories around Rathun's World and on Proxima 7) DDS TPM production should be back to around 47% of previous rate. Other factories are currently being constructed on Rathun's World, Solaris and Sanger Alpha which should begin production by the end of the year.
In other TPM news the DDS have cleared the latest varient the TPM-1C for use on it's ships and production will begin switching to the new varient over the next few days. The C has improved terminal guidance and electronic countermeasures as well as a better engine for slightly higher velocity. The DDS are continuing development of the second generation TPM-2 which may enter service next year.
