The 3 older ships will be converted to Solaris 37C, the first 2 Solaris ships will also be fitted with Z6 cannons like the later ships. There will also be improvements made to passive sensors, IWC and some preparatory work on improving the power grid ready for fitting with worm drive at a later date (though likely to be a few years off, maybe as part of a Solaris ILU). The programme is due to begin in a few weeks when D151 Velocity begins its conversion.
- The HCSAF have begun flight testing of a modified A-85NT fitted with an all-electric engine. This will form part of the next generation of the COIN aircraft the A-85QEA. Originally this testing was due for 2114 but the earlier tests indicate the HCSAF are keen to switch from NT to QEA well before the original 2120 date. The QEA will be optimised for sonic stealth, a great assistance in COIN operations.
