Ground Shock 2113 ended at the weekend with a series of special forces exercises involving DDS Prowlers and Remedian Army Special Forces. The DDS are flowing directly onto their next exercise of the year, February Flourish 2113, though this will be a much smaller one than Ground Shock.
February Flourish is an "EW / ECM / cyber warfare" exercise and the first phase this week takes place on Solaris with a simulated cyber attack by an unknown power on DDS computer systems. Next week the exercise moves into space and will include simulated EW / Elint shadowing of an "enemy" fleet as well as ECM protection of a simulated attack (which will be made by a Quasar 15A). The ships involved are :
A301E Marconi (flagship)
A303E Braun
S106 Baryon
H174 Evolution
M160 Solomon Sea
M164 Sea Of Fertility
A181 Zephyr
This will be the first operational deployment of a Zephyr 76A oiler, the exercise being used to help the crew gain experience of the type before "real" operations.
