CAF Strategic Command Force
The CAF Strategic Command Force (CAFSCF) is a branch of the Armed forces of Catam Pon. They are tasked with a variety of duties, including but not limited to space command, missiles, research and development, electronic warfare, psychological warfare, and cyberspace. In addition to that, the force acts as an amalgamation of the support forces of all other branches of the military and as the center of military intelligence, so as to streamline activities.
History
Organization
DIS
The Digital and Intelligence Service (DIS) is the digital service branch of the Catamese Armed Forces (SAF) responsible for providing military intelligence to the armed forces, building up the country's digital defense capabilities, and protecting the psychological defense of its military personnel. It was established on 28 October 2020, in response to the increased number of attacks by non-state actors, and the outbreak of wars abroad.
The DIS will comprise several groups within the Catamese Armed Forces (CAF) previously established to deal with such threats, which are the C4I Community created in April 2012, Defence Cyber Organisation in March 2017, CAF C4 Command in November 2017, and the Cybersecurity Task Force in May 2020. The DIS will consolidate these organizations under one service branch dedicated to psychological defense, tackling digital domain threats, cybersecurity and military intelligence.
The CAF plans to encourage male members to join the DIS, and is working with Lácaj Technological University, Catam University, and the University of Cixato to create an education scheme to train digital specialists. The service length of DIS personnel will be four years, which is twice the length of national service in Catam Pon. In addition, DIS will also recruit personnel specializing in data science, psychology, linguistics, anthropology and geography. Full-time national servicemen will also be enlisted into the DIS.
Joint Intelligence Command
The Joint Intelligence Command delivers intelligence support for the CAC. It is the amalgamation of the Imagery Support Group (ISG) and Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Group (CTIG).
CAF C4 Command/Cybersecurity Task Force
The CAF C4 Command/Cybersecurity Task Force secures and handles the SAF's Command, Control, Communications and Computers; Intelligence, Surveillance, & Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities. It is the amalgamation of the C4 Operations Group (C4OG) and Cyber Defence Group (CDG).
Digital Defence Command
The Digital Defence Command consists of the Electronic Protection Group (EPG) and Psychological Defence Group (PDG), which assist the CAF in electronic protection and psychological defence respectively.
DIS Training Command
The DIS Training Command facilitates the training of DIS personnel. The command was established in 2023.
Digital Ops-Tech Culture
The Digital Ops-Tech Centre is the heart of the CAF’s digital expertise. It partners with various governmental agencies, academic institutes and industry specialists to develop the DIS' digital domain.
ASF
The CAFSCF Aerospace Force (ASF) consolidates all the CAF’s space-based C4ISR systems, as well as administering all the existing launch sites, and all other military satellites, space assets, and atmospheric aerostats.
The ASF is in control of 2 launch sites on opposing sides of the mainland, as well as the Naro Space Center, which also houses the state-run Catam Aerospace Research Institute. It also includes facilities for rocket and satellite assembly.
The ASF also operates the CPAAD (Catam Pon Aerospace & Aeronautics Division), responsible for designing aircraft, aerostats, and other important military technologies.
Equipment
Rocketry
Catam possess its own satellite launch capabilities, using a new indigenous, experimental three-stage space launch vehicle, and they have successfully launched 4 of their own satellites.

Airships
In addition to controlling most of the rocketry and satellite deployments, the CAFSCF also has a vested interest in various other military technologies, including the possession of 2 "Integrated Sensor Structure" craft, which are intended as high-altitude aerial surveillance and reconnaissance platforms. These 140m long (450ft) are suspended at 20km into the atmosphere, where it would be able to provide a large diameter radar coverage in a manner allowing for "radar risk reduction" as a means to circumvent the traditional threats posed to AWACS and ground-based radar. It can detect air-based targets within a 600km range and ground-based targets within a 480km area.
In addition to this, the CAFCSF coordinates with the air force for conventional airships and their potential strategic uses as well.
The Strategic Command Forces have also entered into partnerships with Syjenþ Group (SG) to fund and research new airship designs, including the aforementioned ISS craft and the various MS-86X dirigibles. However, there have been some controversies over potential corruption and misused funds in these programs.
There also exists projects like the JLENS, which has partial cooperation from Nibelia, and is intended to track boats, ground vehicles, cruise missiles, manned and unmanned aircraft (airborne early warning and control), and other threats. The system had four primary components: two tethered aerostats which utilized a helium/air mix, armored mooring stations, sophisticated radars, and a processing station designed to communicate with anti-missile and other ground and airborne systems. Each system was referred to as an "orbit", and two orbits were built. The SCF-led joint program which fielded JLENS was designed to complement fixed-wing surveillance aircraft, saving money on crew, fuel, maintenance and other costs, and give military commanders advance warning to make decisions and provide notifications.
The system features two tethered aerostats, roughly 77 yards (70 m) in length, that float to an altitude of 10,000 feet (3,000 m) for up to 30 days at a time. Each aerostat utilizes a different radar system—one has a VHF-band surveillance radar and the other an X-band fire-control radar. JLENS is designed to provide 24/7, 360-degree coverage extending 340 miles (300 nmi; 550 km). The surveillance radar scans in all directions to pick up targets, then the targeting radar looks only in a certain segment to guide weapons to it. Its detection capability seeks to equal 4–5 fixed-wing aircraft and is designed to operate at 15–20 percent of the cost of fixed-wing aircraft.
The tethered cables relay data and provide power. As threats are detected, information is sent to anti-missile and other fire-control systems. Its relatively low-power usage and over-the-horizon capability makes it less expensive to operate than existing fixed-wing systems and provides significantly greater range than ground-based systems.
Computers
The Strategic Command Forces (and the military and government at large) have invested and heavily subsidized various supercomputers and the companies involved in these projects. The most notable among these being the Vugaku supercomputer, considered one of the strongest in Telrova, and was briefly the most powerful from 2020 to 2022. The Vugaku operates at 442 PFLOPS, with a potential upgraded version with accelerators being even stronger. The program has been criticized for costing well over 1 billion Rovas throughout its 6-year project duration. The Vugaku is used for both military and civilian purposes, including securing government databases and encryption purposes, as well as scientific calculations.
The SCF also manages various cyber defense teams trained in taking part in and defending against cyber-attacks and cyber terrorism. They are also responsible for enforcing government censorship protocols and digital surveillance of suspected threats, often working directly alongside government intelligence services. To date, these teams have "successfully protected the nation of Catam Pon from a variety of online threats," according to an official government statement in 2026.
UAVs
The Tzepyr is an example of a series of high-altitude platform station aircraft produced by TM aeronautics. They were designed originally by the CPAAD, a commercial offshoot of Catam Pon’s CAFSCF. In July 2010, the Zephyr 7 flew for 14 days. In March 2013, the project was sold to KráVo Defence and Space. In the summer of 2022, the Zephyr 8/S flew for 64 days.
The unmanned aerial vehicles are powered by solar cells, recharging batteries in daylight to stay aloft at night. The latest Tzepyr 8/S weighs 60 kg (130 lb), has a wingspan of 25 m (82 ft), can reach 23,200 m (76,100 ft) and can lift a 5 kg (11 lb) payload for months. They can be used for mobile phone coverage, environmental monitoring, military reconnaissance or as a communications relay.
