The DDS have finally got serial production of the W1A worm drive up and running. Although the DDS have produced a few W1As already each has been more or less a bespoke build which is more expensive and takes a lot longer. The DDS worm drive factory has now been fully cleared for operation and the first drive rolled off earlier this week. Production rate is expected to be 1-2 until next year when it will increase to 2-3.
Dr Forbidden said this was an important milestone for the DDS along the way to mastering the new technology. The first DDS upgrade to the W1A is projected for 2114 though no details have yet been given.
