The DDS core transport fleet of Provider 71As has just begun its annual update and refit. Each ship in the 18 strong fleet will receive an upgrade and refurbishment over the next 2 months. Core to the update is the fitting of 2 8-cell TPM-VLS modules greatly increasing the self-defence capabilities. The tactical system is also being upgraded and sensors improved.
There are also improvements to the main computer system, ship security sensors, auxiliary power and various other minor updates.
