Q2 2013
Reactions
The last meetings of the Security Council had been interesting. While the topic of expanding and simplifying the process of sharing classified information with member nations went ahead relatively uncontroversially, seemingly only stopped by the topic never really having been discussed, Secretary Sokolovs Decision to partake in the Development of the B-3 has been met with criticism, anger and general misunderstanding over why the UNDC would need such an expensive bomber that is meant for nation warfare and not combating insurgents.

[]Antarctic Outpost (Stage 2)
With a very barebones Airfield in place comes the task of erecting a proper basecamp so a first preliminary expedition can be started to research the anomalous icebergs.
(51/100 25 Resources per Die) (Logistics --)(Maximum of one assigned Die per turn until another phase of aux planes has been completed)
[-]Rail and Road Expansion (Phase 4)
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.
(35/300 10 Resources per Die)(Logistics +++ ++)(Complete one stage of Aux Cargo Ships and Aux Cargo Planes to unlock this project again)
[]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.
-[](Write in Nation or City)(0/100 20 Resources per Die)(Logistics +, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases Logistics from Cargo Aircraft)
[]Logistical Port Construction
While ships are the most efficient way to transport goods they require the supporting infrastructure, docks, loading cranes and refueling stations, to do their work. Constructing additional ports to serve as terminal points in the UNDC logistical network will support the auxiliary fleet.

-[]Southampton (89/200 15 Resources per Die)(Security -)(Increases Logistics from Cargo Ships)
[]Maintenance and Resupply Port Expansion
UNDC ports in strategic useful positions can easily be expanded both in strategic value and direct use by building additional docks and piers to resupply and perform extensive maintenance on naval vessels.
-[]Hong Kong (48/300 15 Resources per Die)(Maintenance +++, Logistics --)(Can use Military Dice)
[]Maintenance and Supply Air Base Expansion
Planes and jets are maintenance and downtime hungry machines that require the right infrastructure, facilities and experts to service them. Access to sufficient facilities can greatly enhance the effectiveness of UNDC operations in the region.

[]Replacement Part Factories (Stage 1)
With all the licenses acquired, nothing stands in the way of mass producing all the necessary replacement parts, especially the ones needed for the aging mechanized and naval forces, with many of the designs no longer in active production, however these centralised facilities will increase the strain on the logistical system.
(0/200 20 Resources per Die)(Maintenance +++, Logistics --, Security -)
[]Auxiliary Shipyards
Part of the license acquisition program was also the purchase for several commonly used auxiliary ships, both for containers and liquid goods. With the UNDC's funding, nothing stands in the way of constructing their own yards, and while their primary use will be maintenance, they will be fitted for construction as well.
-[]Busan (0/200 25 Resources per Die)(Maintenance ++ +, Logistics --, Security -)(Increases RpD of UNDC Auxiliary Fleet, but reduces Progress cost)
-[]Seattle (0/200 25 Resources per Die)(Maintenance ++ +, Logistics --, Security -)(Increases RpD of UNDC Auxiliary Fleet, but reduces Progress cost)
-[]Inverness (0/200 25 Resources per Die)(Maintenance ++ +, Logistics --, Security -)(Increases RpD of UNDC Auxiliary Fleet, but reduces Progress cost)
[]UNDC Auxiliary Ship Fleet (Phase 2)
Transport via sea remains the most effective and cost efficient, but also the slowest, way of bulk shipping. To transport tanks, troops and supplies across the globe in strategically relevant amounts, the UNDC will need to increase their fleet.
(137/225 60 Resources per Die)(Logistics ++++ +++, Maintenance -- -, Fuel ---)
[]Utility Vehicle Production Complexes (Can use Military Dice)
Apart from ships there is also the need for vehicles and aircraft to supply the growing needs of the global army. Multi Use production complexes, more similar to small industrial cities, have been proposed to support the construction and maintenance of further expansion of the UNDC utility car and plane pool.
-[]Abu Dhabi (0/300 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics ---, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases RpD of Utility Vehicle Projects, but reduces Progress cost)

-[]Glasgow (0/300 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics ---, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases RpD of Utility Vehicle Projects, but reduces Progress cost)
[]UNDC Auxiliary Plane Fleet (Phase 1)
Air shipping has become more and more important in the last few decades. While expensive compared to other options, it is also the fastest, able to transport cargo and passengers across the whole world in mere hours.
(91/150 80 Resources per Die)(Logistics ++++ +, Maintenance -- -, Fuel ----)(+2CS)
[-]NBC Deconstruction Operations (Phase 2)
With war having returned once more to the region, conducting time and resource intensive decontamination operations are too dangerous.
(171/200 25 Resources per Die)(+2 CS)
[]Fuel Extraction and Refining Expansion (Phase 5)
While some advanced fuel infrastructure is in place, it is far from enough. The UNDC will need more pumps, pipelines and refineries to achieve fuel independence.
(0/300 20 Resources per Die)(Fuel ++++ ++, Logistics ---, Security --)
Service (5 Die (2 Admin Cap), 1 Org Die (1 Admin Cap)
): +13
[]Set up Disaster Fund Management
With the UNDC now allowed to use a certain percentage of its funds for relief efforts one possibility is to give management of this portion over to an independent organisation to use it for a variety of humanitarian needs.
(0/100 5 Resources per Die)(-30 Yearly Budget)
[-]Recruitment Centres (Stage 2)
With a major force expansion far away, the UNDC does not need more recruiting infrastructure at the moment.
(23/200 10 Resources per Die)
[ ]Medical Support Ships (Phase 1)
With their own yards, the UNDC can begin construction of specialised medical support ships. More swimming hospitals than anything else, they can be deployed near a coast anywhere in the world, supporting whatever mission the UNDC is tasked with, be it humanitarian or military.
(0/450 20 Resources per Die)(Medical Capacity +++ +, Logistics +, Maintenance -, Fuel --)(Dice allocation in Service/Industry Dice pairs)
[]Powered Exoskeleton Experiment Program
Powered exoskeletons, wearable machines that assist the user's strength and endurance using electric motors, pneumatics or hydraulics, have long been a concept, but limitations with power, electronics and controls have always held the technology back. Shen however is sure he can find a solution if he and the RnD team are given the necessary funds, staff and facilities.
(112/150 40 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Magic Detector Development Program
The current OAD prototype is too large, too power intensive and too imprecise to be used as an instrument for scientific research. Doctor Ongstream and Doctor Shen are confident they can produce a version that can be transported by vehicles and put in every UNDC facility across the world.

[]Military Headquarters Construction (Stage 4)
With the absolutely required facilities in place, there is still room for an expansion of auxiliary functions and facilities. The small supply harbor can be turned into a proper maintenance and logistical port and the airport expanded. Above ground maintenance hangars for aircraft and ground vehicles can be erected and underground is still room for expansive medical facilities and coordination bureaus.
(157/400 25 Resources per Die)(Requires at least 1 Infrastructure Die)(Logistics --, Maintenance +++, Health Capacity ++, Security -)(Increases Logistics from Cargo Aircraft and Cargo Ships)(+2 to Military Dice)(+2 Admin Capacity)
[]SADS Production Complex
The Strategic Air Defense System is a unique piece of equipment and as such will require a specialised factory for deployment and munitions production if the UNDC does not make use of third party contractors. While development has not been completed, enough of the base design is completed for preliminary assembly requirements to be made.
(0/100 30 Resources per Die)(Logistics -, Ammo +, Security -)
Ground Forces
[]MRK Deployment (Stage 1 Active Military)(+13 from contractors(1 F))
The MRK was the result of a program to replace the current combat trucks of the US armed forces. With a 20 ton on-road and a 15 ton off-road payload, it has the capacity to carry whatever the mission requires.

(Stage 4 Peacekeeping Forces 0/375 (Logistics +++ ++, Fuel --- --, Maintenance --- --, Medical Capacity +))
(Stage 5 Reserve 0/165)
[]Galil Ace Deployment (Stage 1 Fighting Forces)
With most of the rifles in use by the UNDC already chambered for NATO calibres, deploying the Galil out across the whole force won't change the supply situation much and is more for appearance and publicites sake.
(17/415 30 Resources per Die)(Ammo +)
(Stage 2 Military Expansion 0/415 (Ammo +))
(Stage 3 Security Forces 0/415 (Ammo +, Maintenance +))
(Stage 4 Peacekeeping Forces 0/1250 (Maintenance ++ +, Ammo ++ +))
(Stage 5 Reserve 0/415)
[]Rifle Factory
With the number of contractors capable of manufacturing the Galil Ace more limited compared to the other contractors, increasing the UNDCs own production capacity will be important for a quick rollout of the assault rifle.
-[]Ashdod (0/100 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics-, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
-[]Netanya (0/100 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics-, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
[]Infantry Gear Deployment (Stage 2 Military Expansion)
With inter-compatibility between sets of infantry gear being less of an issue aside from ammunition, re-equipping the expansion forces will only have a negligible projected effect on logistics.
(0/385 40 Resources per Die)(Ammo +)
(Stage 3 Security Forces 0/385 (Ammo +))
(Stage 4 Peacekeeping Forces 0/1154 (Ammo ++ +))
(Stage 5 Reserve 0/385)
[]Infantry Gear Complexes
Fabrication complexes dedicated to producing the large variety of infantry gear the UNDC requires.

-[]Lorraine (0/200 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics--, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
-[]Shanghai (0/200 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics--, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
[]Leopard 2A7 Deployment (Stage 1 Active Military )(+17 from contractors(1 F))
The UNDC has over five thousand tanks from various generations, militaries and ages in use. Switching them all to common design will greatly simplify supplying and servicing these hungry machines.
(75RpD 0/415)(Maintenance +++, Ammo +++, Fuel ++)
(Stage 2 Military Expansion 0/85 (Maintenance --, Ammo --, Fuel --))
(Stage 3 Reserve 0/50)
[]Tank Factories
Main Battle Tanks are among the more expensive single items in the Ground Forces arsenal. UNDC owned factories would not only speed up deployment, but also enable production of the in-development Mastodon.
-[]Oslo (0/100 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics--, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
-[]Rotterdam (0/100 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics--, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
-[]Frankfurt (0/100 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics--, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
[]Patria APC Deployment (Stage 2 Force 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.
(157/625 60 Resources per Die)(Logistics ++, Maintenance --, Fuel --)
(Stage 3 Security Forces 0/470 (Logistics ++, Maintenance --, Fuel --))
(Stage 4 Peacekeeping Forces 0/1875 (Logistics +++ ++, Maintenance --- --, Fuel --- --))
(Stage 5 Reserve 0/625)
[]APC Factory
Part of the procurement deal was giving the UNDC the license to produce the Patria APC in-house. Constructing our own factories not only enables us to roll out what is arguably one of the largest mechanisation projects in modern history, but also will serve us well for producing and rolling out future upgrades for the platform.

-[]Birmingham (34/100 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics-, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
[]Bradley Deployment (Stage 1 Active Military)(+17 from contractors(1 F))
IVFs are troop transports with the capability to provide direct fire support in combat situations. Not many of the Task Forces IFVs survived the Middle East Wars and the plan is to massively restock with the force expansion.
(60RpD 0/250)(Logistics +, Maintenance ++ +, Ammo ++ +)
(Stage 2 Military Expansion 0/415 (Maintenance -- , Ammo --))
(Stage 3 Peacekeeping Forces 0/250 (Maintenance - , Ammo -))
(Stage 5 Reserve 0/100)
[]IFV Factory
IFVs are among the more expensive vehicles in the Ground Forces arsenal. UNDC owned factories would not only speed up deployment, but also increase the rollout of future upgrades and force expansions.
-[]Seattle (0/100 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics-, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
-[]Washington (0/100 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics-, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
-[]Atlanta (0/100 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics-, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases per Die cost but reduces progress cost)
[]Artillery Procurement
The state of the UNDC artillery park is almost as bad as the state of the tank units. With a wide range of barrel diameters and launch platforms, some mechanized, some motorized, and some computerized, with little shared in common when it comes to both munitions and spare parts, it is a nightmare for maintenance, munitions and logistics to deal with.
(0/70 20 Resources per Die)
[]Reactive Armor (Co)Development Program (Can be done as either a Codev or Dev Program)
Reactive Armor is a system of externally attached panels containing a light explosive. When hit with enough force, they explode outwards, causing mild to no damage to the vehicle underneath, but massive damage to the projectile. They have shown to be very useful in the Near East Wars by increasing the survivability of vehicles against flanking attacks and in urban environments. Several companies have already made offers to develop an improved version that is less volatile and offers even better defense.

Air Force
[]ASM/AGM Missile Factories
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 and better tracking.
(0/300 25 Resources per Die)(Ammo ++ +, Logistics --, Security -)
[]Attack Helicopter Procurement
While a mix of platforms from different sources, the UNDC's attack helicopter fleet is relatively limited in size. As a result these capable weapons of war get worked hard and an expansion of the fleet is needed for the UNDC to pursue the war against the GLA effectively. A procurement program would also allow the UNDC to shrink the number of different models in use, easing the maintenance and logistics demands of the air fleet.
(0/75 25 Resources per Die)
[]B-3 Bomber Codevelopment Program (USAA)
Meant to be the US replacement for the B-2 Program, the B-3 is planned to have improved stealth, range and ordnance carrying capabilities in a less complicated package.
(0/150 40 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Multi Role Jet Codevelopment Program (Write-in)
With the role as a peacekeeping and security force apparent, General Wu wants a next generation fighter plane to fit into that role: Reliable, fast and with a large payload capacity to be able to provide air support quickly.
(0/100 40 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Recon UAV Codevelopment Program (Write-in)
UAVs were first used in large numbers during the Wars on Terror and proved their potential as both a tool of war and surveillance. Since the Predator drones sponsored by the US military are expensive in purchase and per-flight-hour cost, the UNDC is looking to develop a smaller craft that can be used in large numbers to cover larger areas.
(0/100 40 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
Navy
[]Naval Artillery Shell Factory
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 defence, anti-ship combat, and shore bombardment fire support, though those roles have largely been taken over by guided missiles.
(0/150 25 Resources per Die)(Ammo ++, Logistics -, Security -)
[]CIWS Munitions Factories
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.
(0/150 25 Resources per Die)(Ammo ++, Logistics -, Security -)
[]Dissolve Submarine Force
Submarines are an inherently aggressive weapon. As the UNDC's primary mission is peacekeeping, there is currently no good reason for the Defence Command to have submarines and that opinion is mirrored among many of the council.
(Requires one Die)(+5 CS)(Ammo ++, Maintenance +, Fuel ++)
[]Dissolve Carrier Force
Similarly to the submarines, aircraft carriers are mobile airbases moved to locations where more standard landing strips might not be available. Similarly to submarines their character is certainly offensive and the process of handing them over to the UNDC was certainly not easy. Their original owners should be happy to see the expensive ships return into their hands.
(Requires one Die)(+10 CS)(Ammo +++, Maintenance +++, Fuel +++)
[]Frigate Yard Construction
With most of the current UNDC yards built 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.
-[]Osaka (0/200 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics --, Maintenance ++, Security-)(Requires at least one Industry Die)
-[]Hong Kong (0/200 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics --, Maintenance ++, Security-)(Requires at least one Industry Die)
[]Cruiser Codevelopment Program (Write-in)
With most of the UNDC cruisers being well maintained last generation ships, the need to replace them is not urgent. Development of a follow up design, built around carrier protection and escort duties, should start before it is critical.
(0/200 35 Resources per Die)(+3 CS)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Assault Carrier Codevelopment Program (Write-in)
One problem in the UNDC's strategy so far is landing in hostile terrain with no friendly infrastructure. A short deck assault carrier, meant to transport Helicopters and air mobile troops should fill this hole in the UNDC arsenal.
(0/200 35 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Carrier Codevelopment Program (Write-in)
At 120 000 tons, Torres' demands for a replacement vessel for the aging UNDC carrier fleet would make it the largest fielded carrier on Earth. Capable of carrying an entire small airforce, these ships would be a frightening sight for any enemy of the UNDC once fielded, be they terrorists, insurgents or warlords.
(0/300 40 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Railgun Experiment Program
Since the invention of the thrown rock, humans have searched for ways to throw or shoot things at each other with more speed and force, and railguns, electromagnetic weapons using the Lorentz force and extremely high voltages to accelerate projectiles to many times the speed of sound are the most likely next step, once the big issues with the design are solved. Inadequate rail materials, not able to survive more than a handful of shots, insufficient capacitors and the need for a massive transformers and power supplies have plagued the concept since its inception.
(0/70 40 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Laser Point Defense Experiment Program
Laser based directed-energy-weapons have had a long history in popular science fiction, but real life applications have been held back by inadequate technology including cooling, efficiency, laser mediums and lenses. Previous attempts have been too bulky, too costly and too inefficient. With time and funding however, a RnD group should overcome these issues.
(0/50 40 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]VTOL Experiment Program
Vertical take-off and landing aircraft have long been used in cases where space for proper runways does not exist. The mechanical complexity of the aircraft however have always meant increased maintenance cost and time and less operational time. An RnD Division with the main focus being VTOL technology can hopefully produce ways to mitigate these issues.

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 organisation. A full security review of one department of operations can mitigate or discover infiltration, however it will take a significant amount of effort.
(DC 60, Project Takes up 2 Admin capacity. Dice used here do not use Admin Capacity)
[]Cairngorm Security Perimeter
The Cairngorm park covers a massive amount of area, as such a project that plans to fence in the entire area with automatic detection systems and security outposts will be equally massive.
(99/200 15 Resources per Die)(Logistics -, Security -- -)
[]Supernatural Containment Facilities
While facilities for Werewolf containment are already in place, DCSec still wishes for additional sites of varying security level. With the supernatural and mythological still lacking documentation, they want to be prepared should they be required to contain creatures or afflicted humans of varying power levels, be they more harmless than werewolves or not.
(0/200 25 Resources per Die)(Security --- -)
[]Bio Verification Unit
The UNDC being infiltrated by what seemed to be the real equivalent of Vampires has unsettled DCSec. The risk of similar infiltration is great enough to set up a specialist security and medical unit to identify and defend against these types of infiltrations.

[]Non Lethal Capture Experimental Program
The ASR has many tools for quick liquidation of subjects, but none for non lethal capture. Coming up with designs that can safely capture and restrain a Lycanthrope or a Vampyre will need a dedicated engineering division.
