Dispatches from ICEX: Amber 1 & 2

Significant Russian submarine activity underway near ICEX perimeter.

• Two Akula-class submarines were detected ████████.
• Three Kilo-class detected ████████.
• At this time no Russian micronaval activity has been detected.
• Also at this time Russians appear content to observe and have not acted in a provocative manner.

AMBER proceeding as planned.

• Per Phase 1, ADSEWA Strikepods have successfully deployed to the Arctic shelf and undergone environmental testing.
• During Phase 2(a), Strikepods successfully detected, identified, and tracked the Hartford and Connecticut operating at ranges between ████ and at depths of ████. Trenchant was detected, but was initially classified as a Russian Delta IV. While initially considered a fail, the SEASTAR data and system telemetry matched submarine onboard passive sonar data which indicated that a Delta IV had in fact been operating ██████ at the time. SEASTAR had successfully detected both submarines, but a software issue (now fixed) led to a classification error.
• During Phase 2(b), Strikepods were tasked with detecting, tracking, and identifying six UUVs of varying sizes and acoustic signatures. Strikepods were successful in detecting and identifying all six at ████, and ██, and were able to maintain a track as they transited to ████.
• Phase 3 - ASW - to commence 04 April 1330Z.
