The DDS have issues updates of its 2 main weapons. The TPM-2 has been upgraded to TPM-2BA standard which includes a number of bug fixes and an improved data multiplexor (which is also used on the new MRM, which is described below). The 2BA also has software updates to its ECM suite. Production switched to 2BA yesterday.
The MRM update is more extensive, this is now up to MRM-1B standard. The main changes are to its underlying architecture as the DDS move it and the TPM to their Transphasic Unified Platform (which was announced for the first time today). This will be a common core to both weapons and the later LRM which will speed development and cut costs. The platform is based on the TPM-2BA, the MRM will not move to a fully unified platform until MRM-2 at a later stage but this is a step along the way.
MRM-1B also includes an improved data multiplexor, a larger database, improved data security and a number of other minor updates. Production will switch next month.
