Attempting to avoid Disaster: An Earth Defense Plan Quest

UNDC already is having trouble with its supers in confined spaces like cities. Making a super tank destroyer is not a good answer. The way they dealt with the giant stone creatures was basically as optimal as it gets barring direct fire support from a bunker buster, because that gave them a way to maneuver the needed heavy weapon into position.
Below abstraction.
There is a call for faster deployment, as well as more ships. The originally planned 60 ships will probably do well enough for this plan.
Be careful of being seen to favour 1 nation over others, as well as putting all your eggs into one basket.
Also, UNDC HQ is not at Ullapool. UNDC HQ is in Tokyo, Ullapool is the military HQ.
Every 6 months a set of frigates can be launched if you fund all your blocks, even with only 1 yard, and every block of frigates is 10 ships. People are complaining because the first 2 blocks aren't about expanding the UNDC's navy, they are about freeing up loaned ships and crews so they can return to national service, rather than the UNDC's.

I'm sceptical that there is a major escalation waiting in the wings, at least one caused by the Forest Spirits. Since none of you have noticed, the South America already has gone to war against the Forest Spirits and is already a major conflict zone with the Forest Spirits slowly, but steadily making ground. The fact that UNDC hasn't gotten caught up in it yet doesn't mean that things have already kicked off without us.
If there is going to be an escalation in South America, it will almost certainly be the UNDC getting actively involved in the conflict that has already started and turned into a major conflict/crisis. Well us or the USA as the UNDC's continued stance of not getting involved in the conflict against the Amazon forest spirits has the countries in the South America beginning to turn to the USA for help rather than UNDC.

@BOTcommander If we get overflow from Frigate Yard Construction at Ullapool, would that go towards Megaship Yard Construction at Ullapool?
Also, can we get a list of what has been built where so we can avoid the problem Hazard mentioned below?

Why are the Forest Spirits in South America winning didn't we develop incendiary weapons that the South American governments are using right now.

None of the big boys such as the UNDC or USA have gotten seriously involved yet. We developed incendiary weapons, but we haven't been using them as we haven't been deploying in the Amazon yet.

I would like to see Merin's reaction of knowing not only Sokolov gets away with removing Torres but becomes the official second in command of the UNDC base on the votes so far so if Nobuo is in case absent she answers to him she must be frothing mad with that. That kinda makes the command structure like this:
UN Security Council
Director of the UNDC
Secretary of the UNDC Administration
Chiefs of Staff of the UNDC General Staff
Head of Security of DCSec
UN Security Council
Director of the UNDC
Secretary of the UNDC Administration
Chiefs of Staff of the UNDC General Staff
Head of Security of DCSec

- He/Him
Oh she is not mad about this, because in 2018, either Sokolov becomes Director and one of the military candidates becomes Secretary or one of the Military candidates becomes Director and Sokolov stays Secretary. She has already accomplished the Council ruling that one of the position has to be held by a member of the UNDC military.

This is a list of region-specific infrastructure for the UNDC as of Q3 2015 that I have some up with via looking at the past updates. It doesn't include all of our infrastructure, just the infrastructure that is in a specific location rather than just generically being that. I have also included the category that the infrastructure is in. Anyway, North America is pretty empty while the United Kingdom, Asia, the Middle East are our main focus points.

this is duplicated
I believe his name was Nobuo
Didn't we buy up some factories producing one of the USAA products we chose when selecting our gear because the US Military didn't want it and the factories were basically dead weight? I want to say it was the Bradley but I can't remember ATM or one of the missiles.
Umm... Why would we close down perfectly functioning factories? Like I get that it looks kinda like favoritism since we basically payed the British Government for Cairngorm with those investments but I can't imagine whats the issue, Britain is an island so everything it makes can easily be taken to a port and it already sits on some big trade routes (as in the UK does a lot of trading) and it's also rather defendable, well maybe not considering those portals can apparently appear wherever they want IIRC.
Also whats the full version of the name the Supernatural have for Humans? I think Cairngorm used it before but it was only once and then it was just shortened to 'the Children'.

So if having too many factories in one particular area causes political tension and loss of approval from other nations, can we make choices to build them in different locations? For example the options listed for Frigate Yard Construction are Ullapool and Hong Kog, both of which have plenty of factories already. Could options to build Frigate Yards in other locations such as India or South America be valid?

It's less factories and more the quantity of docks and airports.

Q4 2015
The Next Arrivals
Early this quarter the UNDC got a message from the Supernatural Investigation Division branch operating in India. Following a spike in ambient magic observed by local universities, 13 thousand people in unfamiliar clothing with carts, cattle herds and a full on tent city appeared practically overnight in one of the northern regions. The Administration quickly deployed linguists to the region for a possible first contact. The new arrivals were not receptive to communication attempts, keeping the teams at bay with warning shots from what appeared to be bolt thrower weapons. The possibility of further hostility was noted and with no UNDC peacekeeping units available to be deployed, the task of maintaining the peace was left to the Indian government.
Problems began shortly after the first units had been sent to observe the situation, when the arrivals began sending armed patrols outside the immediate perimeter of their camp city, what started as just taking the available crops on nearby fields quickly turned into looting with the military presence and police unable to confront them in sufficient numbers everywhere. Despite protests from local officials, police and military maintained a peaceful stance for as long as they could, but as reinforcement units arrived, they received the order to no longer tolerate hostile action. The first actual combat engagements began only shortly after, with wounded and dead on both sides. For now the situation seems to have cooled down again, but the UNDC worries about insufficient quarantine measures and that either earthborn- or arrival-diseases could make the jump to the other and lead to a humanitarian crisis.
Space Contractor
Increased investment in space infrastructure all around the world has finally led to the establishment of the first US based private launch contractors. Having collected a lot of investment capital with big promises, it is up in the air if they will be able to deliver on them long term. (+1 Orbital Org Die)

Air Force
With the Air Force's current equipment needs met, General Wu is looking into the future. The first stage of the UNs orbital surveillance network and the targeting array to allow for better target coordination between air assets, as well as a swift deployment of the B3 once it concludes testing.
Navy
With Torres' former Second-in-Command, Rear Admiral Adams, having temporarily taken up the position of Chief of Staff of the Navy, the navy has once more an organized vision. Given the recent attack on a cargo freighter, refitting the Sentinels with ASW capabilities is paramount, as well as a speedup of current frigate deployment.
Security Forces
DCSec desires for their deployments to be completed as fast as possible.

[]Rail and Road Expansion (Phase 6)
Road and rail remain the unloved children of logistics, not as fast as air, not as efficient as shipping, they are nevertheless important and capable of moving large amounts of cargo between UNDC locations, with the added bonus of being free infrastructure for whatever nation they were constructed in.
(25/145 30 Resources per Die)(Logistics +6)(+3 CS)
[]Logistical Airport Construction
While every UNDC airport will be able to both host and service combat aircraft the primary use of these sites will be the transport and transfer of cargo and personnel.

The SID keeps track of magical creature sightings all around the world to see if and when these creatures could become a problem that would require deployment of the ASR. With the new capture teams the UNDC could attempt to capture some of these monsters alive for study.
(0/100 10 Resources per Die)(+3 CS)
[]UNDC Veteran Care Office
Military veterans in modern times are among the most disenfranchised. The trauma and experiences of the military machine and war make reintegration into civilian life and jobs difficult. The UNDC can help with this process by offering them an ear for their or their families' issues, and resources for additional support.
(0/150 20 Resources per Die)(Health -2, Security -1, -100 yearly budget)
[]Recruitment Centers (Last Stage)
With the Security Council set to pull its personnel support from the UNDC in two years, Defense Command will need to expand its recruiting efforts. A final expansion of the recruiting stations to cover the nations that previously shifted personnel to the UNDC will keep it well supplied with candidates.
(42/200 20 Resources per Die)
[]Magic Detector Refit
The original Ongstrean Detector is utilized in the hundreds at UNDC RnD sites across the world, but it is limited by its size. Refitting these sites with the smaller ODA Mk II will guarantee the UNDC has the facilities to stay ahead.
(0/175 60 Resources per Die)

(48/75 100 Resources per Die)(Orbital Bandwidth -3, Security +4)(Priority: Army, Navy, Air Force, DCSec)
[]Targeting Satellite Constellation
Modern cruise and other long range missiles can update their target trajectories in real time. By linking up the targeting systems with an orbital radar constellation, target acquisition and tracking can be improved considerably.
(0/250 100 Resources per Die)(Orbital Bandwidth -8)
[]Orbital Communications Constellation (Phase 3)
Simple radio receiver-sender satellites are the lifeblood of orbital and global communications. If properly networked in large numbers they can enable almost untraceable communication from one point of the earth to another.

[]Caseless Ammunition Experiment Program(Disappears after Q4 2017)
Caseless ammunition is a weapon-cartridge that eliminates the case that typically holds the primer, propellant and projectile together as a unit.

Armed trains are not a new idea. Effective air power capable of destroying the rail network's ability to field these trains have stopped all but the most incidental use, but Merin reckons that the South American forest spirits lack the ability to do much against a train hauling wagons equipped with tank and artillery cannons, grenade launchers and flamethrowers, which would make it easier to establish and maintain a perimeter the spirits can't move beyond.

(142/250 200 Resources per Die)(Maintenance +1, Ammo +3, Fuel +2)
[]Mastodon Expansion
With the Mastodon having rather spectacularly proven its worth, the ground forces have thrown out their plans for a future tank force in favor of replacing a portion of the MBTs with the new heavy tank model. The downside of the new tank's prowess is the increased cost in fuel and the maintenance it requires.
(0/100 200 Resources per Die)(Maintenance -7, Ammo -6, Fuel -6)
[]Patria APC Deployment (Stage 2 Military Expansion)
The goal of the second stage of deploying the new APC is to re-equip the expansion forces to the level where they can reinforce the current fighting forces. By switching to a unified design, strain on the logistical system should be reduced somewhat.

[]Artillery Railgun System Development Program
Over the last months the experimental group has ironed out most failures of the railgun concept and produced a working prototype. However, a gun firing only kinetic penetrators is of little use to a ship mounted weapon and as such a new type of ammunition, one with internal and satellite guidance and maneuver capabilities is one half of the program while the other one is refining the railgun system for use on a naval vessel.

[]Sentinel Frigate ASW-Refit (Write-in Contractor)
The Sentinel is a capable ship, but with the emergence of biological underwater threats the Straz may not have the required numbers to adequately search for these. The UNDC anticipated that it might have to use the Sentinels for more than just anti piracy work, but it is lacking in Ospreys fitted for ASW duties and the sonar system may need to be improved to find the creatures. All the UNDC really needs to do is determine which of its suppliers it wants to draw from, as any already deployed ships will be upgraded as they come in for maintenance, while ships under construction will have these changes integrated during construction.

[]Security Review(Write-in Category)
While currently not clear who would want to infiltrate the UNDC it is clear that doing so is certainly a prospect to some actors to gain insight into the day to day operations of the organization. A full security review of one department of operations can mitigate or discover infiltration, however it will take a significant amount of effort.

The Next Arrivals
Early this quarter the UNDC got a message from the Supernatural Investigation Division branch operating in India. Following a spike in ambient magic observed by local universities, 13 thousand people in unfamiliar clothing with carts, cattle herds and a full on tent city appeared practically overnight in one of the northern regions. The Administration quickly deployed linguists to the region for a possible first contact. The new arrivals were not receptive to communication attempts, keeping the teams at bay with warning shots from what appeared to be bolt thrower weapons. The possibility of further hostility was noted and with no UNDC peacekeeping units available to be deployed, the task of maintaining the peace was left to the Indian government.
Problems began shortly after the first units had been sent to observe the situation, when the arrivals began sending armed patrols outside the immediate perimeter of their camp city, what started as just taking the available crops on nearby fields quickly turned into looting with the military presence and police unable to confront them in sufficient numbers everywhere. Despite protests from local officials, police and military maintained a peaceful stance for as long as they could, but as reinforcement units arrived, they received the order to no longer tolerate hostile action. The first actual combat engagements began only shortly after, with wounded and dead on both sides. For now the situation seems to have cooled down again, but the UNDC worries about insufficient quarantine measures and that either earthborn- or arrival-diseases could make the jump to the other and lead to a humanitarian crisis.
Space Contractor
Increased investment in space infrastructure all around the world has finally led to the establishment of the first US based private launch contractors.

Air Force
With the Air Force's current equipment needs met, General Wu is looking into the future. The first stage of the UNs orbital surveillance network and the targeting array to allow for better target coordination between air assets, as well as a swift deployment of the B3 once it concludes testing.
Navy
With Torres' former Second-in-Command, Rear Admiral Adams, having temporarily taken up the position of Chief of Staff of the Navy, the navy has once more an organized vision. Given the recent attack on a cargo freighter, refitting the Sentinels with ASW capabilities is paramount, as well as a speedup of current frigate deployment.

Air Force
[]Universal Drone Command Module Codevelopment (Write-in)
The Air Force has a proposal for a container sized setup that can be easily transported anywhere and be used to control a number of UAVs from.
(0/55 70 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)(Priority: Air Force)
[]Digital Cockpit Upgrade Codevelopment (Write-in)
Because the completion of the Eurohawk is still a while off and because Wu expects it to take even longer before the UNDC combat aircraft have been replaced with it, he has proposed the development of a modernisation package for the existing aircraft, adding improved digital control surfaces and controllers.
(0/60 80 Resources per Die)
[]ASM/AGM Missile Factories (Phase 2)
In addition to bombs, air-to-surface and air-to-ground missiles further enhance the Airforce capabilities. While being more expensive, they fill a different niche, being a mixture of more accurate, longer range, better tracking, or just in the form of pods of unguided rockets.
(6/125 50 Resources per Die)(Ammo +5, Logistics -3, Security -1)
[]Aerial Bomb Factories (Phase 2)
The arsenal of the UNDC Airforce contains a large number of both guided and unguided aerial bombs. The increase of the carrier based air force requires an additional increase of bomb production.

[]VTOL Recon Drone Codevelopment (Write-in)
The sentinels capabilities would be greatly increased by a remote controlled UAV for recon purposes. Since it does not have the space to allow a MaQue to take off, another design is needed.
(0/40 80 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]DEW-Point Defense Development Program
The Experimental Program has born fruit and completed a functioning prototype. Based on a liquid-helium medium, the size, weight, power and cooling requirements however mean the only platforms that could support it are stationary or navy vessels. It will require more work to integrate the laser and the needed support systems into a functioning PD-system.
(51/75 80 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Artillery Railgun System Development Program
Over the last months the experimental group has ironed out most failures of the railgun concept and produced a working prototype. However, a gun firing only kinetic penetrators is of little use to a ship mounted weapon and as such a new type of ammunition, one with internal and satellite guidance and maneuver capabilities is one half of the program while the other one is refining the railgun system for use on a naval vessel.
(0/100 80 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Sentinel Frigate ASW-Refit (Write-in Contractor)
The Sentinel is a capable ship, but with the emergence of biological underwater threats the Straz may not have the required numbers to adequately search for these. The UNDC anticipated that it might have to use the Sentinels for more than just anti piracy work, but it is lacking in Ospreys fitted for ASW duties and the sonar system may need to be improved to find the creatures. All the UNDC really needs to do is determine which of its suppliers it wants to draw from, as any already deployed ships will be upgraded as they come in for maintenance, while ships under construction will have these changes integrated during construction.
(0/120 50 Resources per Die)(Maintenance -2)
[]Sentinel Frigate Deployment (Currently 0 free frigate yards)
The Sentinel frigate is the perfect peacekeeping and patrol ship for the modern time, although perhaps an overspecialised one. Foregoing guided or heavy weapons, Sentinels focus on speed and smaller arms to keep oceans free of pirates, smugglers and other small scale threats.

[]Frigate Yard Construction
With most of the current UNDC yards prepped for maintenance, repair, cargo transfer and resupplying, completely new yards will need to be built first for in-house construction, upgrades and refits. At 150 meters these ships will be on the smaller side, but each one still represents a major military infrastructure and industrial project, requiring multiple facilities worth of construction, storage and assembly halls as well as cranes and other auxiliary machinery.

[]Naval Artillery Shell Production Complexes (Phase 2 Final Phase for now)
Naval guns have not changed much since the end of the second World War. Usually multi-purpose, they are built to fire a variety of shells for anti-aircraft defense, anti-ship combat, and shore bombardment fire support, though those roles have largely been taken over by guided missiles.
(0/100 50 Resources per Die)(Ammo +4, Logistics -3, Security -2)
[]CIWS Munitions Plants (Phase 1)
Close-in-weapon-systems are close range point defense weapons meant to destroy incoming missiles and enemy aircraft. There are two types: A gun-based CIWS uses rapid-firing cannons placed on a rotating turret. Missile-based CIWSs use either infra-red, passive radar/ESM, or semi-active radar terminal guidance to guide missiles to the targeted enemy aircraft or other threats.

[]Vertical Launch Munitions Assembly Plants (Phase 2 Final Phase for now)
Cruise missiles are guided missiles that remain in the atmosphere and fly the major portion of its flight path at approximately constant speed. Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large warhead over long distances with high precision. Modern cruise missiles are capable of traveling at supersonic or high subsonic speeds, are self-navigating, and are able to fly on a non-ballistic, extremely low-altitude trajectory.

Security Forces
[]Security Review(Write-in Category)
While currently not clear who would want to infiltrate the UNDC it is clear that doing so is certainly a prospect to some actors to gain insight into the day to day operations of the organization. A full security review of one department of operations can mitigate or discover infiltration, however it will take a significant amount of effort.

[]Sticky Foam Development
Sticky Foam is the official name of a two substance reactive agent developed by UNDC scientists that hardens rapidly once mixed together and exposed to air. The current idea is to utilize the foam via sprayers to incapacitate enemy combatants or creatures, but for this the formula will need to be adjusted and refined and a proper delivery system developed.

[]Monster Hunter Armor Development
Currently the ASR is still armored with fatigues and stab proof plate, something which only offers protection against the weakest of monster attacks. The Airutan Monster Hunters guild makes use of a much more sophisticated set of armor that wont do shit in a modern firefight, but should offer improved protections against claw-, blunt force- and bite-attacks.

"The first actual combat engagements began only shortly after, with wounded and dead on both sides."
Good showing there, Indian army guys, you've got machine guns, grenades, armored vehicles and aircraft, couldn't even take on a bunch of scrubs with crossbows.
