'''Project ELIAH''' (''Eangan Líonrach na Idirghabhála Aeir forluiteacH'', or '''Networked Overlapping Air Intercept Grid''') is an integrated multi-layer air defense system employed by the [[Office of the National Army (Faneria)|military]] of [[Faneria]] since the early 2000s. It was originally envisioned as a copy of the [[Caphiria|Caphirian]] [[Trinity Defense System|Trinity system]] following repeated simulations and fire exercises resulting in predictions of severe oversaturation of air-based targets by varying naval and land-based missile defenses, but has since expanded to general air defense coordination, networked fire control, and . The acronym is meant as an homage to Saint Eliah, the patron saint of rain, thunder, and lightning. | '''Project ELIAH''' (''Eangan Líonrach na Idirghabhála Aeir forluiteacH'', or '''Networked Overlapping Air Intercept Grid''') is an integrated multi-layer air defense system employed by the [[Office of the National Army (Faneria)|military]] of [[Faneria]] since the early 2000s.

Project ELIAH breaks air defense down into several categorizations - namely short, medium, and long range versus missile defense and fire on air targets. This would normally require six weapons systems; as of 2027, the project utilized seven due to the inclusion of the [[ABAN]] laser weapon system. Each element of the system is capable of independent operation, with the intention of being able to automatically sever itself from the ELIAH network if required. | Project ELIAH breaks air defense down into several categorizations - namely short, medium, and long range versus missile defense and fire on air targets.
