The DDS have held 3 more successful tests of it's Medium Range Missile or MRM. MRM R4-021, 22 and 23 successfully hit their targets in a series of test firings made by a Pulsar class cruiser. 022 was the first full 5 light year range mission and had no fewer than 7 mid-course updates from various DDS ships placed along the test run. 023 was the first successful test of the production warhead for space attack being based on the TPM-2 warhead but with 3 times the yield.
Further tests will be held in March including one with the production conventional ground attack warhead. All instances of SAS across the fleet will have MRM support rolled out in their next software upgrades over the Spring. A nuclear warhead is understood to be also planned though not yet built.
The DDS are aiming for MRM to enter service in June or July with a limited shipment entering production in May. Revision 1, the first main production version with an uprated engine and any tweaks required, will follow later in the year.
