Vigilamus Network

The Vigilamus Network was a joint UGB-Elwynnese programme intended to create the westwards facing aspect of the Continental Defence Programme operated by Benacia Command on behalf of the members of the Raspur Pact. Fully integrated into the command and control systems of Benacia Command, the Vigilamus Network was also capable of exchanging machine readable data with the fixed air defence radar systems of Sanama in real-time. Rumours of data portability to KDF analogue systems were never confirmed or sufficiently explained. Operational responsibility for the network rests with the XXXXIX Air Defence Corps of the Black Legions.

Faced with an emergent and unpredictable enemy power, the two westernmost members of the Pact in Benacia, Elwynn and the Unified Governorates felt obliged to make common cause in the face of the increasingly pro-Vanic alignment of Brandenburg and its revanchist ambitions concerning Elwynnese Amokolia and Mishalan respectively. Born of the back of their cooperation during Operation Vigilant Resolve, work on the Vigilamus Network began in the first month of 1676 AN with a series of joint "staff rides" conducted by senior officers and technical specialists from the Black Legions and Union Defence Force intent upon surveying the terrain along the frontier new Inner Benacian Quarantine Zone so as to identify potential sites of a suitably elevated vantage point.

During initial discussions the proposal of the Black Legions delegation was for a layered sensor network comprised of the following three layers:

1. (0-5km from frontier): Spotter planes, drones, cameras, aerostats, sector intervals of 12km
2. (10-50km from frontier): short-range, low altitude radar network, sector intervals of 36km
3. (50-100km+): solid state phased array radar with over the horizon ability, sector intervals of 72km

At the Elwynnese suggestion, the solid state phased array radar, being expensive and energy and resource intensive, was swapped out in favour of electronic listening stations at the intervals suggested whilst a MilZig (prominently featuring the aforementioned solid state phased array radar) would be constructed in each Governorate / County with a frontier facing West Amokolia.

Following the Amokolian Revolution the Vigilamus Network was deactivated following the reunification of Amokolia and the transfer of the Severnaya Gubernya to Elwynnese sovereignty. The majority of border posts and defensive barriers were dismantled over the course of the years 1687–1692 AN,
