The Velocity destroyer fleet is to receive an update to be carried out over the next few weeks once the current Isometric updates are completed. Velocity 2108 Update A (V2108UA) will see updates to the communication sub-system and computer architecture as well as a new passive sensor array. Following analysis of the Bolitic cyber attacks on Windy's ship the DDS have beefed up their computer security and communication protocols with an improved encryption scheme as well as a separated auxiliary communications system to allow the ship to communicate even if the main system is compromised. Firewalls and databus architecture will also be improved to help stop virii spreading throughout a ship's systems. All combat ships will receive these improvements though the Velocity is first.
The passive sensor array is part of a general DDS shift to passive sensors where possible. The ships will also receive datalink updates so they can communicate with TPM-2 (though the Velocities will probably not receive TPM-2 launchers themselves until next year at the earliest) missiles. There are also around 27 other minor improvements and updates across the board.
The forthcoming "Velocity-N" class could have a totally different series of names. One name being mooted is the Bombardier class.
