Finnish National Revival and Reconstruction

Research into AESA radar technology has borne the fruit of grace today as LPI and other advanced radar technologies are being perfected. These technologies will be retrofitted into current Finnish Air Force and Finnish Naval Air Expedition Force aircraft as soon as they are perfected.
In other military news, new battle rifles are being put to the test as the prospect of war outside of Finnish borders becomes contemplated. Also, logistical technologies are being developed in full earnest. Transport aircraft and supply ships have become the focus of the shipyard's toil.
"Finland, must for all intents and purposes, develop a fully blue-water navy that can see its influence be projected anywhere in the world, and this is only possible with the use of a complex supply network" - Navy Director, Semyon Kikyanov.
To facilitate communications from all regions of Finland, Finnish satCOM is being upgraded to high fidelity encrypted transmission, and geosynchronous satellites are planned for global coverage, expanding from the network that only covers the area around Finland that exists at the moment. Finnish supplyCOM, a logistically tuned network of production and reception nodes, will be integrated into Finnish satCOM so that the military, as well as civilian deployments, will be supplied with exactly what they need whenever they need it.

As per request from Finland a trial Air Defense Network would be set up at a designated area in Finland. Composed of one HAWK 12MW radar, ELF arrays and OTH arrays along with a network of Recon Aerostats, two HALOB AWACS and a RADSAT of Strategic Command redeployed from its mission orbit into a temporary orbit over Finland, the sensor systems would be installed first. As the Air Defense Network assume shape, Royal Cochin Air Force would also deploy a squad of 4 Jadayu Mark 2 Multi Role Combat Aircrafts to perform the interception along with a flight of 2 ADRIS and 2 ASPER stealth bombers to demonstrate the capabilities of the network.

We are very interested to test your system, before full financial payment is finalized. Would Cochin mind if we tested some new imported equipment with your equpment?

We fully understand your concerns, hence why we are setting up a trial air defense network for your evaluation. If found satisfactory under a varied test regimen, based both on Cochin and Finnish standards and requirements, further contract may be considered.

This would be appreciated.

Research at Siilinjarvi on anti-air defense has yielded a significant amount of proposals, which must be addressed.
The first proposal centered around the idea of using Associative Aperture Synthetic radar, a way of breaking up the radar unit into an emitter and receiver that are in different locations. This allows the radar to scan both the front and back of the airplane, especially the radar sensitive back (with engines and stuff). This, of course, means that the aircraft must be flying within Finnish airspace to be detected, but the Foreign service will work with neighboring nations to install Finnish detectors outside of Finnish space. The radar will operate on the UHF band: RAM materials have decreased advantages. Also, transmitters and nodes will operate on stepped frequencies to allow identification of specific transmissions. Over 1500 transmitters and nodes will be constructed for total coverage of Finnish airspace, at a cost of $200 million international dollars.
The second proposal was even cheaper: by using the cellular network constructed by Nokia Com, there is a preexisting supply of low power, short range waves. However,a massive network of passive sensors will be laid out across Finland: by receiving cellular signal echo all continuously, anomalies will be detected when flying overhead. By using high powered computing to process the anomaly data, and by using signals from at least a dozen cell phone towers in the area, it can be calculated where the anomaly source (aircraft) is. This is run though constant live radar station data, and thus we can filter out the identified traffic from the stealth traffic. By relying on massive numbers of passive sensors, this system is also immune to HARM missile attack.

Today, the Finnish navy has completed construction of its last Cruiser, the FNS-056 [i]Valkyria[/i].
The Finnish Defense Forces is now also launching its Combat Integration System, allowing all facets of a war to be communicated and directed upon by a network of fiberoptic and EMP resistant nodes. Developed from the Logistics Network that Finland has previously deployed, this system allows for real-time identification of targets and targeting of them with units under separate command, while also allowing for levels of coordination among branches of the military previously unseen. For example, an attack could be timed so precisely that one target can be annihilated by a cruise missile launched by the Ground Force, naval bombardments by the Naval Force, and bunker-busting weaponry from the Air Force timed to hit a target at the same exact time.

Finnish Defense Force combat integration is progressing as expected. A network has been online in the naval system, allowing direct ship to ship communication and sharing of targeting infroation.

All Finnish forces have been integrated with EMP-proof Nokia Fibre-optic technology, working in conjunction with low probability of intercept signal transmitters working alongside the FINSAT communications system.

Due to the instability in the former Germanic Union, paramilitary police patrols have begun around the Finnmark and Norwegian border areas.

Domestically, the Parliament of the Republic of Finland has approved a new domestic mandate for President Korhonen, who responded by issuing an executive order calling for a "Harmonious and Prosperous Socialist Society." The domestic mandate for President Korhonen reiterates the administration's obligations to provide Finnish citizens with the basic rights and privileges accorded to them by the Basic Constitution of the Republic of Finland, which includes health care, access to water and electricity, high speed wireless internet connection, and so on. The public has been responsive to the new domestic mandate, showing an increase in approval ratings from 54% to 59%, a modest but statistically significant increase for a piece of domestic legistlation.

Resource shortages in Finland have resulted in budget cutbacks across the board. Military cuts have been at -4% of previous year's budget, and civilian cuts will be at -.69% of the previous budget. President Korhonen was recorded as saying "we hope to demonstrate that even in tough economic times, Finland shows a spirit of peace and goodwill, prizing its citizens above all else. there will be no decrease in living standards as military budget cuts will take the brunt of the economic damage." Following these announcements, the Finnish markka held steady in exchange terms against other world currencies.
