Gundam: Jiren's Ambition

The Gripus War itself was a civil war within the Earth Federation.

Each MS development facility under the Federation Army was carrying out various development plans independently and in parallel, which resulted in the emergence of a large number of MS with unique characteristics during this period. The style was the most alternative and diverse among all Gundam works.

Just like "the dinosaur-like evolution of MS", this is the same name for the dawn of the MS era.

Among the many MS parallel development plans, the most famous plan is of course Plan Z.

Plan Z is the MS development plan proposed by Ogu in order to fight against the Titans. This was a plan proposed by Ogu when the organization's scale and combat capabilities were lower than those of the Titans.

The purpose of Project Z is to design a TMS with high versatility.

The first achievement machine of Project Z was the Hundred Shiki.

In fact, the Hyakushiki originally existed as a backup design for the Z Gundam, but due to immature technology and design flaws, only the immutable Hyakushiki could be created.

Then there was the first real TMS in Plan Z, but its combat power was mediocre, and its advantage was that it was easy to maintain.

In addition, Baishi's parts were used to assemble a new body, Type Zero. This body is characterized by being an imitation of the MK2 body frame, and has achieved the feature of a movable frame.

Based on the technical crystallization of the above body, Zeta Gundam was born, and here the variable frame structure of ZETA was perfected.

On the basis of Z Gundam, Project Z continued to extend and gave birth to a series of derivative models of the zeta series.

In addition to the most famous zeta plus, the three derivatives of zeta represent three completely different design directions of Anaheim Electronics.

One is the Z-2, which can be mass-produced but does not have much improved performance.

The second is the ZZ Gundam, which has high firepower and heavy armor, and can handle high-mobility combat.

The third is the S Gundam that can carry the supercomputer Alice.

Different derivatives are like different products, which implement the spirit of Plan Z to a certain extent and develop step by step.

What I want to say above is the importance of development plans.

From the very beginning, the Principality of Zeon identified construction machinery as the mechanized product of the new space era. It has been ahead of the Earth Federation. With continuous development, it has finally reached a situation where it can suppress the Earth Federation on a large scale in space wars.

The Earth Federation also took action on Project V. The Jim Sea and Iron Ball Sea, which had gone from Gundam to mass production, finally pushed back Zeon's offensive.

Determine the product from the plan, plan the corresponding future form according to the product characteristics, and complete the final implementation.

This is like the process of market-oriented product development.

The product plan for the Calabar prototype was a failure.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from its experience.

The reason why the Titans were able to grow from Jamitov's private army in the Earth Federation Army to the Earth Federation Army naturally has its merits.

On the one hand, he hunted down the remnants of Zeon, and on the other hand, he took over Zeon's production line and implemented special control methods on the specifications of mobile suits.

As a result, a TR plan called "Aircraft Integration Plan" that conforms to Titans' ultimate combat ideas was born.

In the past, the Principality of Zeon has launched a combat plan called the "Integrated Maintenance Plan", which was intended to integrate production lines and control specifications to optimize the production quality and efficiency of MSs, and to increase production capacity in disadvantaged situations to compete with increasingly powerful forces. of the federal side.

The Earth Federation Army has launched the "G-Line" MS mass production plan to achieve battlefield adaptability to different situations through equipment replacement.

Titans is superior to both, and the TR plan created is entirely to develop the strongest weapon "Gundam Silver Thunder" that matches Titans.

But to achieve this step, the "Universal Dressing System" must first be completed. The completion of this system was obtained by Hazel Fryer, the core MS of Silver Thunder.

Because this system is so excellent, the top brass of the Titans Military Department proposed a model integration plan to unify all mobile suits in the army with this system.

The purpose of this plan is to create a small high-performance airframe (Gundam TR-6, Woodwater, Black Rabbit), on which to reproduce existing models through modifications and cope with all combat situations.

Compared with Project Z, the development method of each product is different, the Gundam TR-6 will exist independently as the final control platform.

It can be equipped with different combat equipment on different battlefields and complete "transformation" in a broad sense.

In this way, Woodwater will become the core component of the entire machine family.

The Woodwater, which has completely unified specifications, will become the core structural component of a new cockpit-like existence.

Even with the loss of external equipment, Woodwater still has extremely strong combat capabilities by being separated from external equipment.

As for the exterior part...

By installing the limb parts of Gozago and Malase on Woodwater's fuselage, a body like Gozago 2 can be obtained. This machine will become the follow-up model of all Zeon series mass-produced machines in the future.

The Bazam 1 or Hazel 2 obtained by installing TR-2 parts will replace the federal series mass-produced machines headed by Jim.

In addition, Kihar 2, Heriot 2, and Hambrabi 2 in the water are all in the same routine. They are respectively used to replace Ashima, Gaplan, water-type Jim, etc. who were originally responsible for the atmosphere and water environment. The next interception combat mission.

The core part of the body is still up to TR-6, but different expansion components will upgrade it to different combat mission models.

The benefits here are self-evident.

For pilots, learning and training costs are reduced.

For production, only the core component Woodwater is mass-produced, along with various exterior parts. The assemblability of the machine body has been greatly enhanced, and maintenance time has been significantly reduced.

With better tactical specifications, commanders will apply for different combat components on different battlefields.

It is also easier to archive battle reports, such as reporting on battle damage, etc.

In essence, the TR plan is a direct application of ideological integration at the MS product level.

(PS: In the end, it is the "Core Gundam" in "Gundam Build Divers: Rising". Through the "planetary system", the tactical equipment change is completed on the core conversion and limited conversion, but it is not like the Rabbit Country. An in-depth discussion of the TR plan based on an entire military scale)

The completion of large-scale replacement of old MSs on an army scale is the true overall picture of the TR plan.

In fact, Titans has already achieved the goal of "reproducing all the functions of Titans' military MS and MA in a modified form" for the TR-6. This ideal is exactly what Titans wants to seize the power of the entire Earth Federation Army and complete. The realization of the ambitious plan to "unify all military aircraft, including the Earth Federation Forces, into TR-6".

It can be said that Titans is only one step away from the ideal of militarized and armed perfection.
