Activation of the AMSSMerenbürg, April 4381Today the AMSS was officially activated by our minister of defence, General Fritz von Glauer.
After 5 years of development and production, the AMSS (Advanced Maritime Security System) is finally active and will protect the coasts of the Narikatonite islands.
The system covers an area, whichs border lies around 80km from the coasts of Narikaton, Nihaton and Clenon in the northern, eastern and southern direction, on the western direction, it stretches out to about 120km from the coasts due to the estimated higher piracy around the 3rd world countries.
To pass this zone, it requires a identification device for each ship, which shipping companies or other seamen can obtain at the the Narikatonite office for maritime trade and travel or at one of the Narikatonite embassies.
Ships without an active identification device will be intercepted by one of the new Narikatonite autonomuos patrol boats.
The AMSS also consists of a satellite, which will keep the area under surveillance, a coastal missile defense system and a drone fleet.
The patrol boats are armed with a 120mm smothbore gun, anti ship and anti aire missiles guided torpedoes for submarine hunting and 30mm machinecannons for speedboat defence and can be set to four different alert stages, the first one is the safe stage, in which they will drive into hearing distance of the ship and will deliver a warning with visual signals and audia signals, they will not attack in this mode, but will contact the royal navy instead.
In the second stage, the boats will open fire after three ignored warnings and in the third stage they will open fire immediately on every ship which enters the area without permissions.
The fouth stange can only be actived during war and will cause the boats to destroy aeverything that enters the area without a warning, even if it has the identification device.
