The static defence system around Proxima 7 has now gone live, in a limited state at least. A ring of "killer satellites" around the planet is now in place. These automated systems include refurbished Z cannons and other reused systems to save costs. They are backed up by air-launched TPM-A aircraft over GHQ.
CM370 has suffered a number of delays and budget cuts but the DDS are relieved they finally have something to show for it. The CM370 system will be improved in future with TPM-1 missile launchers fitted to the satellites early in the next decade as these launchers are taken out of warships and replaced with TPM-2 launchers. Detection and control systems will also be upgraded next year. The air-based layer will be expanded over the next few years with a second squadron based at Hexian City, a third to supplement the 1st at GHQ and a 4th based elsewhere on the planet. Ground based TPM-G will also be deployed at some stage.
