The Provider and Extender fleets are to receive an update over the next couple of months, Unified SUP 2109 Update A will be fitted in around the hard working ship's programmes. Each update is expected to take around 2-3 days and thus can fit in around a standard 5-day refit and restocking. All ships will receive Cannister TPM support and be able to carry up to 6 of the weapons (standard load will be 1 however). The ship's tactical sub-system will be upgraded to add TPM support and allow external data sources for targeting.
The communications system will also be upgraded to improve self-defence against info-weapons. Ship security will also be improved with more security force fields fitted and the ship's internal sensors boosted. The Extenders will also receive improvements to their refuelling and nuclear fuel handling systems.
