2022 Confederate Memo on Defence: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

For the Navy, the plans to replace the aging ''Kurst'', the nation's carrier were formalized. It would be replaced by a pair of helicopter carriers, and the Kurst given a lfife cycle upgrade and placed in a reserve capacity where it could be called up to serve rapidly in the event of a shooting war. Smaller frigates and patrol crafts, focusing on a rbosut CIWS and anti-ship missile (AShM) procurement would help force project Arcerion interests in the Songun and Malentine Seas. Maritime patrol aircraft were recommended to be upgraded or replaced, as the aging P-4 fleet was reaching the end of its recommended flight hours and maintenance costs were rising rapidly. Hart's review also recommended that the Navy upgrade or replace its aging shore-based missile and radar infrastructure, most of which was of 1990s vintage with little attention or funding given since then to upgrade or replace said systems. Finally, the Navy was recommended to complete a comprehensive overhaul of the subsurface fleet, and the proposition for new shallow-water diesel electric submarines was to be drafted and tendered within the next 24 months as recommended.

=== Strategic Outlook ===

The recommendations resulted in a major strategic shift for Arcerion's procurement strategy. Projects such as the Next-Generation Main Battle Tank Replacement were abandoned in favour of life cycle and upgrade programs, whereas solutions to a new wheeled vehicle were placed for tender. For small arms, vendors were encouraged and funded by the Arcer government and Ministry of Defense to create new anti-tank missile systems, as well as further find ways to make infantry and their supporting echelons more effective. [[Arcer Armament Industries]] (AAI) began to place bids on the Light and Medium UAS contracts that would equip the Army's Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) companies. On the procurement side for the government's capital projects teams, the recommendation emphasized a closer working relationship with partially-nationalized corporations such as AAI, and inviting foreign weapons and arms manufacturers to build their new facilities in Arcerion even if in the short- to medium-term Arcerion did not purchase their goods, the research and development opportunities could pay dividends.

Diplomatically, the Defence Memo made it clear that an increase in cooperation with other notable Cronan nations such as Paulastra and Alstin (of which Arcerion shared cultural heritage) would breed considerable dividends for future operations or missions within the region. Concurrently, it identified that the Cape's current government was incompatible with a peaceful South Crona, and directly would come to conflict with continued diplomatic ties that brought nations closer.

To accommodate for anti-piracy and freedom of maritime commerce, the recommendation for several Joint Naval Stations to be set up in cooperation with Stenza and Caphiria were emphasized, as this would provide the maritime patrol squadrons and surface fleet with bases from which to ensure commerce flowed freely to and from the Songun Straits.

For the refugee crisis to the North stemming from the Varshan conflict, peacekeeping operations and an increased border presence options were presented to the Prime Minister, with the aim to shield and protect Arcer economic and humanitarian infrastructure from being overtly damaged by the Cronan conflict.
