NS have funded initial development of the Multi-Mode Combat Ship (MMCS). This will be a warship with an atmospheric mode like the Dinomark AM. The Type 35 platform has been chosen as the most suitable for MMCS and work will begin on a prototype Type 35Z (as it will be known) next year.
This ship will resemble a Kinetic 35C in size and space mode capabilities though have aerodynamic modifications and turbine engines for atmospheric mode. It is hoped the Type 35Z prototype will begin trials in 2122.
