DMS trials successful

Trials of the DDS minesweeping system (which actually stands for DMS) aboard an unnamed Pentekonter-M minesweeper (understood to be one of the ships in Force Voth) have been largely successful with just a few glitches mainly in the interface with Pave Yellow and other ships with the existing Clone built technology SPECNES. Several software updates by a DDS Research team on-site have rectified some of these problems.

A new hardware build of DMS is in it's final stages which will hopefully solve the remaining glitches and, it is claimed, "enhance capabilities beyond SPECNES". This will be shipped out to Force Voth in a few weeks time. The DDS do not plan to replace SPECNES immediately once DMS is ready for service but will gradually replace SPECNES during Pentekonter-M major refits.
