While setting up such a scheme may not seem so difficult the Dinos are interested in how the DDS manage to disseminate alert information to the DDS, spread as it is across dozens of light years, so quickly.
- The Clone Air Force has tweaked its new nomenclature system. Helicopters will now use the prefix Z and not ZK. Type suffices will also be limited to 3 characters, this will avoid some of the very long type codes now in use, for example the latest naval version of the Halogen helicopter is the ZK26SWNG, this will now change to the slightly less unwieldly Z26WNS. Drones will use the prefix Q not QK.
- In other CAF news preliminary design work on a new supersonic lead-in trainer has begun, known as the K3 Project. Under current plans some of the fleet of K40T trainers are due to be upgraded to train pilots for the K45C but early development work on the K40TC has so far been unsatisfactory. It is now thought it will be better to design a clean sheet trainer to incorporate K45C technology like active-inertial dampening and a mission-adaptive wing.
