Hachiman Array Upgrade

Reasoning

---

____Although, the current Hachiman configuration has been serving the Shogunate for countless years without any issues. With recent technological developments, an upgrade of the existent communication equipment has been deemed imperative.

____Test results have indicated that the ensemble can detected and identify objects at distances of over 30k. One of the such test was detecting fision-neutron sources at of various 6*10^n strengths. Such types of surveys could easily, and most importantly, safely detect any nuclear threats.
____ One drawback of using this method is that the entire vessels'power output has to be directed to the ensemble, effectively transforming the Hachiman in a sitting target.

  • 1 Gravitational Wave Detector
    
  • 1 Network Node Relay

Range test

____One of the first test performed in Chugoku. As it can be seen, although the presence of massive amounts of asteroids should hinder detection, the hardware combined with a freshly implemented genetic algorithm performs better even in the most dire conditions.

Further development

____ Four Hachimans have been tested and are already being calibrated, with 3 more being retrofit as we speak. Since they still have to be further tested, they will be deployed only in the most dire situations and only in Chugoku.
