HCS Space Navy Fleet Day + 1 is known as the "Technical Day" when HCS Space Engineering discuss some new projects. The first presentation was on the new Kelsan bomber which has now started in production. The prototype is expected before the end of the year with an entry into service early 2110. This is around 6 months earlier than previously thought.
The HCS said the Kelsan would be a simple but reliable ship. "Its a missile carrier, that's where the advanced technology will be so the actual ship itself can be reasonably simple." Kelsan will be designed to be stealthy though may use unmanned assets like Nybble for EW and as decoys. The design will be unveiled soon but a DDS source says it has a large circular main hull with a long engine and storage area.
