The National Strategic Defense System of Nouvelle Alexandrie, formerly known as Project Space Armor, is an integrated missile defense system designed to protect Nouvelle Alexandrie from ballistic missile threats. The system combines advanced ground-based interceptor missiles, early warning radar systems, space-based sensors, command and control centers, and the NovaNav Multi-Purpose Satellite system to create a highly reliable and effective shield against incoming threats.
Components
Interceptor Missiles
Project Space Armor utilizes a variety of interceptor missiles developed by Javelin Industries to ensure maximum effectiveness against a wide range of threats. These include:
- JAV 110 Omega: A hypersonic boost-glide missile designed for air defense, capable of reaching Mach 15 and traveling up to 4,500 km.
- JAV 30 Seeker: An unguided air-to-surface and surface-to-surface rocket with a range of 12 km and a speed of up to 820 m/s.
- JAV 93 Strong Girl: A subsonic air-launched and surface-to-surface cruise missile with a range of up to 1,900 km.
- JAV 105 Willbreaker: A hypersonic submarine-launched boost-glide missile designed for deep penetration of heavily defended targets, capable of reaching Mach 18 and traveling up to 6,500 km.
Early Warning Radar Systems
A sophisticated network of early warning radar systems is strategically placed across Nouvelle Alexandrie to provide comprehensive coverage and ensure the earliest possible detection of incoming threats. These radar systems are designed to detect and track a wide range of airborne targets, including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and other potential threats. The advanced radar systems employed in the National Strategic Defense System incorporate several key features and technologies to maximize their effectiveness: The advanced radar systems employed in Project Space Armor incorporate several key features and technologies to maximize their effectiveness:
- Phased Array Radar Technology: The early warning radar systems utilize cutting-edge phased array radar technology, which allows for rapid and precise steering of radar beams without the need for physically moving the antenna. This enables the radar systems to track multiple targets simultaneously and maintain continuous coverage of the airspace, significantly enhancing their ability to detect and track incoming threats.
- Over-the-Horizon (OTH) Radar Capability: To extend the detection range and provide more time for the missile defense system to respond to threats, some of the early warning radar systems are equipped with over-the-horizon (OTH) radar capabilities. OTH radar systems are capable of detecting and tracking targets at extremely long distances by bouncing radar signals off the Earth's atmosphere, enabling the early warning network to detect potential threats well before they reach Nouvelle Alexandrie's airspace.
- Advanced Signal Processing: The radar systems employed in Project Space Armor benefit from advanced signal processing techniques, which improve their ability to distinguish between genuine threats and other objects, such as debris or aircraft. This reduces the likelihood of false alarms and ensures that the missile defense system remains focused on legitimate threats.
- Integration with Space-Based Sensors: The early warning radar systems are seamlessly integrated with the space-based sensors provided by the NovaNav Multi-Purpose Satellite (MPS) system. This integration allows for the continuous sharing of data and improved situational awareness, enabling radar systems to rapidly detect and track incoming threats with high accuracy.
- Redundancy and Resilience: To ensure the reliability and resilience of the early warning network, multiple radar systems are deployed in strategic locations throughout Nouvelle Alexandrie. This redundant architecture ensures that even if one radar site is compromised or disabled, others can continue to provide coverage and maintain the integrity of the early warning system.
The early warning radar systems play a crucial role in the overall effectiveness of the National Strategic Defense System. By providing timely and accurate data on the trajectory and speed of incoming threats, these advanced radar systems enable the missile defense system to respond quickly and effectively, neutralizing threats before they can reach their targets in Nouvelle Alexandrie.
Space-Based Sensors
The National Strategic Defense System also includes space-based sensors that continuously monitor Micras' surface and atmosphere for signs of missile launches. These sensors, when combined with early warning radar systems, provide a comprehensive and highly accurate picture of the location and trajectory of incoming threats.

Command and Control Centers
Multiple command and control centers are responsible for coordinating the various components of the National Strategic Defense System. These centers receive and analyze data from early warning radar systems and all other sensors, allowing them to make informed decisions on the appropriate response to any given threat. These centers are also responsible for directing the interceptor missiles to their targets and coordinating communication between all elements of the defense system.
The NovaNav Micran Positioning System system is an integral part of the National Strategic Defense System. The satellites provide advanced communication, navigation, and surveillance capabilities, greatly enhancing the overall effectiveness of the missile defense system. Some of the key features of the system include:
- Real-time data transmission between the various components of the National Strategic Defense System, ensuring seamless coordination and response to threats.
- Enhanced target acquisition and tracking capabilities, allowing for more accurate interception of incoming missiles.
- Improved situational awareness for command and control centers, enabling faster decision-making and response times.
Development and Deployment
The National Strategic Defense System was developed through a collaboration between Javelin Industries, the National Research and Development Corporation, and NovaNav Technologies. The project was initiated in response to growing concerns about the potential for ballistic missile threats against Nouvelle Alexandrie and the need for a comprehensive and reliable defense system to protect the nation.
Following extensive research, development, and testing, Project Space Armor was officially put into service in 1714 AN. Since then, it has undergone continuous upgrades and improvements to maintain its effectiveness against evolving threats. The system has been successful in intercepting and neutralizing numerous missile threats during both simulated tests and real-world scenarios, proving its reliability and effectiveness in protecting Nouvelle Alexandrie.
Future Upgrades and Expansion
As technology and potential threats continue to evolve, the National Strategic Defense System of Nouvelle Alexandrie is constantly being upgraded and expanded to maintain its effectiveness. Future upgrades are expected to include:
- Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) integration, allowing for faster and more accurate threat analysis and response.
- Expanded space-based sensor coverage, providing even greater situational awareness and early warning capabilities.
- Development of new interceptor missile technologies, ensuring continued effectiveness against emerging threats.
Through these ongoing upgrades and improvements, the National Strategic Defense System will continue to serve as a vital component of Nouvelle Alexandrie's national security strategy for years to come.
