Classified Message to China:


We have seen the ASBMs in the European War. We would like to know if China would help us obtain the ability to sink 200 ships by acquiring the missiles for us.

[b]Classified Response[/b]:

The weapon platform you requested is essentially useless unless paired with a massive supporting satellite infrastructure as well as preferably a long range UAV reconnaissance force, its internal guidance would not be able to guide itself to a target unassisted. At this time we do not suspect that Koryo would be able to maintain such a force. We would be happy to issue a declaration that reinforces that China considers the Korean Peninsula with in its maritime defensive zone and it will use all its weapons of sea control to enforce that. We would also be happy to construct a seaward looking OTH Radar in Korea for joint operation, to provide greater detection capabilities.

Production Plan Byeokryeokshin (Competed September 15th)


The People's Republic of Chosun, flushed with money with the growth of its economy, is building the largest Self-Propelled Artillery force in the world. Evenly building between regular guns and rocket, there will be a total production of 50,000 units. This is in line with the military doctrine of the Brilliant Leader, which emphasized complete destuction of the opposing forces by “time on target” firing (the simultaneous shelling of cannon balls of different sizes at the same target). With the current capability enough to destroy small cities, the buildup would mean a single force can destroy a city the size of Beijing in half an hour.

A medium-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle has been developed by the national carrier Koryo Airlines. The KUS-9 is to be deployed in the Army's division-level units, it is part of efforts to boost the country's intelligence-gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. The aircraft has a boom-mounted tail and lands by flying into a net at a speed as low as 90 kilometers per hour, with a service ceiling of four kilometers and a maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour. It has an endurance of six hours and a maximum range for communications of 60 kilometers.

[b][u]Highly Classified: Development of Highly Efficient Fuel Cell System [/b][/u]


In a secret project contracted to POSCO, a highly efficient fuel cell "reactor" system has been developed using nanotechnology. The reactor utilized two different methods to produce this fuel cell concept: trimetallic 'nanodendrites' and nano-clusters. In addition, it is able to turn water into hydrogen and oxygen, allowing the system to continuously run for 35 years.

The trimetallic catalyst consists of platinum and gold 'arms' anchored to a palladium core. These arms increase the surface area of the precious metal available for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in a fuel cell and thus could substantially reduce the amount of catalyst needed. 9nm octahedral palladium nanocrystals were used as 'seeds' from which to grow the dendrite structures. The platinum arms, which bear facets that are particularly active for the ORR, are formed via the reduction of K2PtCl­4 by L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The gold makes the catalyst durable by making it stable. As a result, the catalyst is far more effective by mass at reducing oxygen than any current catalyst when compared on a material scale.

On the other hand, while the catalyst focused on the shape, the nano-cluster focuses on the size. POSCO was able to shape the catalyst into clusters with high catalytic activity, therby increasing both effectiveness and efficiency. As the size of the clusters is decreased, their catalytic activity for the reduction of oxygen increased. At 12 atoms, each and every atom was exposed at the surface and the catalytic current produced was 13 times that of commercial platinum nanoparticles, which by contrast contain hundreds or even thousands of atoms. The improved performance is probably not due to a simple increase in surface area but to quantum size effects The number of metal coordination sites were tightly controlled, and therefore atoms, in each cage.

In addition to the fuel cells, the system also includes a separate hydrogen-producing reactor. This reactor is comprised of a ceramic honeycomb of hundreds of channels coated with what POSCO calls a nano-material. The material is comprised of oxygen-deficient ferrite structures containing zinc and nickel. The reactor uses a two stage process. In the first stage the temperature of the honeycomb is increased the system heats up with the use of fuel. The nano-material removes oxygen from water, producing hydrogen gas. In the second stage the temperature is increased further, when the oxidized nano-material is stripped of oxygen, producing oxygen gas. The nano-material is then ready to be used again. Basically, this means that sea water can be used as fuel, meaning the system has an unlimited fuel supply.


Tests showed that the system, which is the size of a submarine naval reactor when combined with fuel production and storage facilities, has been able to produce 38MW of output, enough for a full-scale attack submarine. At the same time it did not produce any magnetic anomalies, meaning once the hull is made of non-metal substances, it will be invisible to all magnetic anomaly detection systems. However, because the entire system is very expensive, it would be hard to use it for many submarines, meaning use of this will be restricted.

[b][u]Highly Classified: New Submarine Detection Device Developed[/u][/b]


Shonan scientists have developed a new way to locate and identify even the 'quietest' of today's submarines.


The Shonan development, called the Tantetsuki, uses the detection of changing magnetic fields to identify and monitor a moving submarine. The method, which is unique in that it captures 12 magnetic field-related data values per reading as opposed to the single number measured by a conventional magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) magnetometer, arises from research into new minerals exploration technologies that detect magnetic fields. It will enable a submarine's depth, bearing and orientation to be tracked.

The technology is basically a 'tensor gradiometer', which is a device that can measure minute changes in magnetic field gradients. It uses three independent rotating sensors, which use high-temperature superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) to monitor the magnetic field gradient. In theory, the system means that pilots whose aircraft are fitted with the Tantetsuki detectors will be able to measure the range, depth and bearing of a submarine, how fast it is going and if it is diving - all from one flyby.

The Tantetsuki will also have an inherently higher sensitivity and immunity to external noise compared to conventional MAD systems, which means it will be especially effective when tracking a modern 'ultra-quiet' submarine. Over shallow or deep oceans, traditional MAD systems also detect magnetic fields caused by ocean swell or geographical conditions, which makes the detection of a specific target quite difficult. New Tantetsuki algorithms and data processing will extinguish these noise sources.

While still a MAD system, the Tantetsuki is built on a new gradiometer sensor and a novel method of rotating three such sensors to monitor the differences in magnetic field gradients. This difference is monitored in a superconducting flux transformer fabricated onto flexible tape, folded into a U-shape to form opposing sensing loops with a central monitoring loop coupled to the SQUID device. The opposing loops in the flux transformer have the effect of rejecting
the otherwise overwhelming common-mode signal of the earth's magnetic field, and the rotation removes the need for the exacting engineering tolerances which have until now limited the effectiveness of fixed gradiometers. Also, the additional tracking information (the three-dimensional nature of the Tantetsuki's output) is possible because the Tantetsuki captures eight magnetic field related data values per reading.

[b][/u]Top Secret Memorandum[/u][/b]

From: Houzuki Mika, Director of the Korean Defense Development Administration
To: Kap Seung Il, Premier of the Greater Korean Federation


The Dennetsu Kagakuhou has been nearly perfected. By using more of nitrate ester to make sure that the continuous liquid phase is substained long enough for the cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine burning to be controlled by variation of the interfacial area between phases, the chemical has been made stable enough, while the plasma ignitor has also been developed.

The results has shown that we are now able to have a tank gun with a velocity of 2,250 m/s, while a naval gun can reach up to 2,500 m/s. However, there needs to be some more bugs fixed before we can use this on a full industrial scale. Chosun has volunteered to do the dangerous testing, so I'll notify you when we can proceed on to full-scale use of the Dennetsu Kagakuhou.


OOC: Will update this post with more info. If you have any questions, use the tech thread. No OOC in here please!
