The DDS have had wireless control on its ships for over a decade now but power still requires wires. Most DDS ships have a standardised grid in all interior areas so equipment can be plugged in and out where needed however it still puts some restraints on internal layouts. Wireless power supply would solve these problems but before that happens the DDS need to vastly reduce the power needed to operate its systems as high energy wireless power would be very hard to keep stealthy.
ULP will reduce power usage of a typical system by up to 70% and the aim is on a ships' internal systems by around 45% on average. This will put power needs into the territory where wireless power is an option (though probably still not quite achieveable) and also make much more energy available for defensive and propulsion systems. Some system may be possible to use wireless power if their energy needs drop by enough.
OA 3.0 could make its debut next year.
- The final 4 Kalahati Tuul Bs have left service with the HCS Space Navy, they are the last survivors of a number of ships re-instated to service after the Xenon War to plug a gap in the fleet. Two ships will be rebuilt to Kalahati Tuul S standard and the other 2 sold. The Aritans have expressed an interest.
