New Jericho Research

Reasearches one after another as faction researches them. New Jericho starts the game with the first three researches already finished. Every finished research is available for the player when he reaches alligned status with the faction. The whole faction tech tree is available for Phoenix Project to research after reaching allied status.

In order to receive any shared research from a faction you need to finish their research (New Jericho research that is unlocked after you discover first haven).

Already researched

These three pieces of research are already finished at the start of the new game.

New Jericho Aircraft Technology

The Thunderbird is the pinnacle of New Jericho air transport technology.

The New Jericho Thunderbird is a third-generation quad-rotor VTOL transporter, designed specifically for the current battlefield and atmospheric conditions. Covered with reinforced external armor and coated with anti-corrosive material, it offers protection from enemy fire and organic attacks alike.

Despite its considerable weight, thanks to its four Vimana-2 engines the Thunderbird is capable of speeds exceeding 320 kph. At present the Thunderbird has a capacity of 7 people, but the design incorporates potential for improving this.

New Jericho Combat Armor Research

Based on earlier models produced by the Vanadium corporation, this tactical armor has been significantly modified to resist all forms of attack and to provide a variety of configurations.

New Jericho's combat armor is based on the tactical armor initially developed by Vanadium Inc., the company founded by Tobias West that became the core of New Jericho. The initial design largely consisted of an exoskeleton operated via advanced hydraulics, with additional plating to protect the user from high caliber rounds, but the current version has been enhanced and extended in a variety of ways, with emphasis on modularity and customization. Additional weapons and equipment can be attached to the plating and the power unit, allowing for a variety of configurations.

New items for manufacturing available: New Jericho assault, heavy and sniper armors

Gauss technology

New Jericho scientists have been developing Gauss technology for years, with the potential for creating a new category of infantry weapons.

Military-grade coilguns that use electromagnetism for projectile acceleration had already been developed by Vanadium Inc. well before the Pandoravirus outbreak. However, under pressure from rival manufacturers, the United States military withdrew its support for the project and the prototype Gauss rifle was scrapped.

After founding New Jericho, Tobias West brought the technology back, and it soon became central to the New Jericho arsenal.

Research

Neural Implant Technology (January 4)

Direct command of weapon systems by thought alone can transform soldiers into heavy weapons platforms.

After an extensive testing program, direct control of weapons and mounted equipment is now possible with cranial input hubs.

The cranial implant procedure has proven to be relatively painless, and allows an individual to co-ordinate weapon systems by sight and thought.

New Jericho Combat Training (January 7)

New Jericho combat training is focused on efficiency and coordination, combining reason, instinct, and human will into one lethal package.

Combat, according to Tobias West, is about the triumph of the will in the service of human supremacy of our planet earth. It is the only way to earn the privileges of citizenship and leadership.

All citizens are expected to participate in training programs, and those with aptitude to specialize in the most demanding roles.

Bonus effect: Training facility efficiency improved by 50%

Technician Development (January 14)

A new type of combat support specialist can be derived from New Jericho neural tech.

A new soldier class has been created based on the development of neural implants. Technicians are highly trained support specialists with the ability to control powerful robotic arms though their cranial input hub.

Their armor is combined with an exoskeleton framework with mount points for the robotic arms and support for heavy lifting. Technicians are trained in deployment of automated turrets and they are skilled with Personal Defence Weapons.

Armadillo development (January 18)

A group of New Jericho scientists proposed upgrading older armored vehicles with the newest tech to create an APC better adapted to present conditions.

A new all-terrain Armored Personnel Carrier that utilizes hybrid electric charging and bio-fuels has been developed. It is fully AI controlled, heavily armored, and capable of carrying 4 fully loaded soldiers.

A new automated gauss gun turret has been mounted to help with combat operations. The new APC, codenamed Armadillo, is set for production.

New item for manufacturing available: Armadillo

Incendiary technology (January 21)

Tobias West once remarked that purity has no greater ally than a burning flame. Incendiary weapons could be the ideal cleansing tools.

A new type of bio-fuel has been created to use with modern flame throwers, and compact incendiary grenades have been developed from solid fuel technology.

The new weapons will assist with clearance, especially inside alien structures.

New items for manufacturing available: New Jericho Flamethrower and Purification Grenade

Satellite Uplink Research (January 28)

A new uplink system could interface with the remaining satellites launched by Vanadium before the war. These could be used to improve general operations and intelligence.

New Jericho can now build satellite uplinks in havens, which improve the operational range of havens and actively locate alien structures. The construction of these facilities would likely antagonise other factions, but it would also greatly improve New Jericho’s ability to fight the Pandoran infection. The technology would also be useful for our own operations, improving the range of our satellite scans.

Bonus effect: Scanning range of Phoenix Bases is increased by 25%

Armor piercing technology (February 2)

A new generation of armor-piercing Gauss weapons would provide a much needed advantage on the battlefield.

The heat problems caused by extreme muzzle velocities have been overcome, allowing gauss weapons to be significantly upgraded. Although the new weapons will have a smaller caliber, the ammunition will penetrate armor much more effectively. The cost of production remains high, but such technological advances are essential if we are to defeat the Pandorans, whose very existence forces us into a neverending arms race.

New items for manufacturing available: New Jericho Piercing Assault Rifle, Piercing Sniper Rifle and its ammo.

Production Robotics (February 8)

New Jericho's robotics technology can be incorporated into all types of production.

New Jericho advancements in robotics have dramatically improved the efficiency of automated factories and fabrication plants. Trial runs indicate a potential 50% increase in productivity.

Bonus effect: Fabrication Plant efficiency is increased by 50%

Advanced Technician Weapons (February 12)

The new armor piercing Gauss tech can be used to upgrade Technician turrets and PDWs.

This merging of technologies has proven a complete success. The new turrets have surpassed expectations, being potentially capable of bringing down even the larger Pandorans. The new PDW design combines high agility with extreme firepower for the first time.

Walls of Jericho Project (February 23)

Sometimes old solutions are the best solutions. With the increase of Pandoran activity, Havens are becoming more and more vulnerable. For the protection of humanity, Tobias West has ordered general improvements to haven fortifications.

The research has resulted in an array of defence measures and physical barriers which improve the defences of all New Jericho havens with little cost. The benefits will apply immediately, and are estimated to improved defensive capability by around 25%. From the Phoenix point of view, the technology will reduce the threat level of any Pandoran attacks on our bases.

Bonus effect: Pandoran attacks on Phoenix bases are reduced by one threat level

Advanced Rocket Technology (March 6)

A new generation of rocket launcher would make fighting the larger Pandoran creatures more feasible.

A breakthrough in explosives technology has led to the development of a new rocket launcher design. It packs a huge punch, capable of taking down even the larger Pandoran creatures. The rockets are expensive to produce, but will be effective if deployed intelligently.
