(I don't care what anybody says, this is Marvin's finest moment)
Just doing some military prep stuff, even though I haven't done this crap in a while and I've totally forgotten how to do it.
Anyway, Ahsa's got a Department of Defense, and it's doing some stuff. First off, the Secretary of the Air Force has developed and begun implementing a broad-spanning infrastructural plan wherein assets will be diffused in small increments across a huge number of clustered airbases. Aircraft stationed at these bases are to be dispersed internally across each base and sequestered within revetments and hardened shelters. In the mountainous areas of the Madiya and in Najd, airbases are to be carved out of the mountainsides, built with up to 100 feet of rock cover and heavy-duty concrete blast doors. All airbases will be accompanied by at least one battery of either CIM-10 or MIM-14 missiles with full TRR and TTR capabilities.
The air force has also begun implementation of a nation-wide airspace control system, providing the air force with a continuous, unified image of Ahsaese air space and ensuring its ability to respond rapidly and efficiently to incursions by hostile aircraft. The heart of the system is a newly developed computerized C2 system, configured as a duplex system to ensure fault tolerance: the standby system will continuously copy data from the active system to minimize the daily switchover time from one system to the other. Information will be fed to these systems by way of an array of long-range search radars with a number of cutting edge features-- including 3-cavity power klystrons for ECCM purposes-- along with redundant electronics to ensure reliability; AEW&C aircraft and picket ships equipped with a suite of height-finding, air/surface search, IFF, and long range air search radars will also be uplinked to this network to ensure full coverage. With data from these radar systems, the computers will be able to quickly create intercept paths for fighters or missiles from nearby airbases, ensuring no aerial incursion will go unanswered. To top it all off, continuous heavy fighter patrols along the borders of Ahsa have been mandated for the time being.
The air force has also decided to meddle in ongoing reforms being implemented by the Department of Transportation, which has been constructing an ambitious system of highways and heavy railways across the country to ensure ease of travel for civilians and to ensure heavy military equipment can be quickly transported throughout Ahsa. The air force has taken it upon itself to intercede and ensure that several highways are purpose built to serve as runways and act as auxiliary airbases.
Meanwhile, the navy is doing stuff too, I guess, aside from the aforementioned picket ships being deployed. A VLF facility is to be constructed near the northern coast along the Persian Gulf. I thought there'd be more than that but I guess that's it for now.
In terms of civilian development, the Department of Energy has begun development on a number of nuclear reactors to serve the energy needs of the nation. Also a spaceport is being built. I think there was something else but I clean forgot so for now I'll leave it at that.
