Pulsar 2110 Update A

The Pulsar 12A fleet is to receive an upgrade over the next few weeks. It will be their final upgrade as withdrawals will start this year (indeed the 2 ships due to be withdrawn this year will not be upgraded) though software-only updates are likely to continue until the end of service in 2112.

Pulsar 2110 Update A includes the following improvements and will take around 3 days to complete per ship (it will be carried out during normal maitanence cycles):

• Z5g-EA (see separate article for details)
• IWC will be upgraded to allow for offensive cyber attack capabilities (this also implies that the Quasar update that is on-going will also add offensive cyber attack to it's IWC, the DDS did not want to say earlier!)
• Damage control facilties in key parts of the ship will be improved
• The main computer will be upgraded with a new faster processor unit
• The engines will be recored to take them up to end of service
• A number of other minor improvements
