Directed Energy Aerial Defence Net

The Directed Energy Aerial Defence Net (DEADEN) is an anti-ballistic missile and anti-aircraft defensive system developed by the SDC and Yashima, and in use in some of the SDC Nations, Jingpo, Yashima and the nations of the Alnnayl River Coalition. DEADEN was created to provide comprehensive protection of key areas from ballistic missile attacks, and also partially to address the threat posed by newly-developed combat spaceplanes, as well as conventional aircraft.

DEADEN consists of a coordinated system of detection and response apparatus that coordinates to protect the area from incoming airborne threats. The weapon portion is a 50 kilowatt solid state fibre laser beam weapon, also used on Yashimese naval vessels as a close-in weapons system. DEADEN utilises batteries of these weapons in strategic emplacements around key structures as well as satellite and ground-based detection systems to provide all-round missile and anti-aircraft defence. Due to the SDC's policy of non-interference, SDC nations deploy DEADEN systems at their own discretion.
