The Quasar cruiser fleet is to receive an update over the next couple of months. The updates, which should take 4 days per ship, will be carried out during the ships' scheduled refits and maintenance. The centrepiece of the update will be the fitting of an Info-Warfare Centre (IWC) to co-ordinate cyber-defence. It is not known if the Quasar's IWC will have any offensive capability. The DDS are not saying!
The Quasars will also have a number of systems updated. Although DAC will not be fitted some of the systems will bring a kind of DAC capability to certain systems on the ship though the DDS say this "DAC-ification" will be a gradual process over the next few years and updates. With DAC damaged systems can have their functionality automatically taken over by other systems.
