In a key milestone of the SeaGale/SeaCSM project the trials ballistic missile submarine CNSS Warhammer has launched a modified SeaGale SLBM from a submerged position. The missile carried a dummy NSV which reached orbit. SeaCSM is now expected to have a full test with a real NSV (hopefully not armed) later in the year.
The Clone Defence Force has also announced an upgrade for its ICBM force, the Gale-IIIEA will enter service from next year and incorporate stealth technology developed for the CSM programme including the "cold fire" rocket and aerodynamic changes. Gale-IIIEA will carry a mixture of CSM, nuclear and conventional warheads.
