Technically in the Orderless Order
Ever since the signing of the MDP treaty between all ASEAN nations, leaders from each nations in ASEAN have been discussing ways to improve cooperation and strengthen the defense pact. With this, ASEAN announced that in the following year(s), all ASEAN nations will be cooperating in military research projects. There are currently, 2 ongoing projects:
1) Designing and producing destroyers
Seeing the importance of naval power, this project will focused on designing an entire new class of modern destroyer with an emphasis on ease of manufacturing and cost.The aim of the project would be to successfully design, test a prototype and have the destroyer ready to be produced by each ASEAN nation to increase naval power and better defend each other.
2) Research into missiles
With this project, there are two goals. The first is to design a defense system capable of intercepting and destroying ballistics missiles. The second is to design a long range cruise missile that could be used for precision strike against invading force as well as have an anti satellite capability if possible.
Although both projects are aimed to strengthen ASEAN defense capability, other nations are welcome to join and help with the research if they are interested in using the technology once the project is completed.
