TPM-2B to integrate Porquatian technology

The DDS are expected to debut their first major revision of the TPM-2 in the late Spring. TPM-2B will have a new motor which is derived from the technology transfer from the Porquatians who have recently being offered DDS membership. Porquat 640 will become official DDS members before the end of the month though are defacto Tier 1 members already.

TPM-2B will also include an enhanced countermeasures suite and a number of software revisions. This is the first TPM-2 update with no corresponding TPM-1 update. TPM-1 is likely to receive a software only maintenance update at some stage though with production now restricted to just 1 site and is expected to stop at the end of the war.
