PROJECT BRIEF

---

Project ECHELON is to be the intended follow-up to Projects OSIRIS and FIDELITY. Given both the long-term failure of Project PRISM and the attached Dagger Complex, it is the opinion of the Department of Tactical Operations, in concordance with both Homeland Security and its intelligence processing divisions, that the Security Force should move toward an investment in mobile reconnaissance and monitoring platforms at all scopes of deployment. These developments across the board, as well as research into their application and deployment, fall into the scope of Project ECHELON.

OBJECTIVES

---

While the broad objective of Project ECHELON is the development of these mobile intelligence platforms, the primary goal of the project in the short-term is the final restoration of Project OSIRIS blueprints using developments made under Project FIDELITY, and the development of both of these projects further into the design of a modern example of the class, restoration of a Mako-class vessel, previous designation WV Peleliu, into a platorm capable of performing mobile intelligence, command, and control, under the code name ECHELON.

RDA objective in the short-term, then, is the development of a full-spectrum sensor suite to replace stopgap measures in Project FIDELITY. In addition, efforts should be directed toward the restoration development or replacement of OSIRIS' originally planned reactor system, including research to determine if OSIRIS' semi-permanent cloaking field technology would be viable with minimal loss to FIDELITY PELELIU's firepower ratings. Finally, electronic hardening and physical defenses should be improved from FIDELITY and PELELIU standard given the relative age of the hull and the various temporary measures afforded to its design.

All of this falls in addition to ECHELON's greater scope, of improving the ability of the LSF to tender and deploy intelligence-gathering vessels across the Sirius sector. These objectives are less concrete and RDA/TacOps is afforded more authority in this matter; however Directorate recommendations include a follow-up report on the feasibility of Project RAVEN incl. exploration of a cruiser-based reconnaissance platform; an investigation into remotely-piloted vessels such as the Grizzly-class, mounted with enhanced sensor suites for use in semi-autonomous mobile intelligence networks; and an overall pass on electronic hardening and systems upkeep for any recent developments in sensors technology.
