Alpha 121A NFV incorporates UCV technology

Dr Forbidden has given a technology briefing on the forthcoming Alpha 121A Nano Fighting Vehicle to senior DDS staff, a brief summary was also declassified and distributed to the media. Dr Forbidden has said that the NFV will incorporate design features and technology from the DDS' various superluminal UCV projects over the last few years such as Stoat-UCV and FLUSV.

"These projects came to nothing for various reasons (FLUSV was part of the aborted Chrysalis cruiser concept of course) but we waste nothing in DDS Research and much of the technology will be used in the Nano Fighting Vehicle." Dr Forbidden wrote in the summary. "NFV will be optionally manned and will leverage technology like FIDO-VR to enable a fully equipped warship in a tiny package. Design concepts are now being finalised and we expect to reveal a finalised design and spec by the Summer. Building will commence in September."
