The DDS frigate fleet is to receive an update. All Isometrics will receive Isometric 2107 Update A (I2107UA) and the Terran Seas Terran Sea 2107 Update A (TS2107UA). The updates are both purely software and will be rolled out to the fleet over the next week. A total of 35 different systems will receive the latest builds of software (both updates can be released at the same time because both frigate types use the same software, albeit different versions). Improvements include better engine management, tactical data handling, target acquisition and damage control.
Isometric frigate F116 Cryptozoic has just left refit and has become the third ship to be fitted with the Pave Yellow mine warfare control equipment. Pentekonter P111 Pindar has become the latest Pentekonter-M minesweeper and has been redesignated M111.
The first Panther destroyer D101 Panther has reached a new milestone. External construction has been completed and the ship has been towed to another rig to complete internal fitting out and static testing. Engine testing is due to take place in the late summer with live trials around September until the end of the year. Construction has begun of D102 Jaguar and D103 Puma.
