President Eduardo Céspedes – National Address on INTERA-70

April 1970
My fellow citizens of the Imperial Republic of Spin,
Tonight, I address you not to raise alarm, but to provide clarity. Our nation stands at a moment of rapid technological change, new global tensions, and emerging forms of warfare that demand preparation—not panic.
For this reason, the government is partially declassifying a project that has been in development for several years. It is known as INTERA-70: the Integrated National Tracking, Engagement, and Response Array. Some parts of this system will remain classified, as they must. But what I share tonight is done with two purposes: to reassure the Spinnish people, and to deter any nation that may contemplate aggression against our homeland, and what INTERA-70 is designed to do. INTERA-70 is a new generation air-defense network—one of the most ambitious in our history. It integrates coastal detection, inland tracking, and precision engagement into a single, continuous defensive shield.
Let me explain this in clear terms.

1. Coastal Detection

Along our shores and global territories, we are constructing powerful long-range coastal radars with 80 to 100 nautical miles of detection. (Declassified range)
These radars will be the first to sight an approaching aircraft, missile, or unknown contact. Once detected, the system immediately alerts nearby coastal sensors, creating a full picture of the threat.

2. Inland Tracking

If a contact is assessed as hostile, responsibility shifts to our tracking radars, with ranges of 70 to 90 nautical miles. (Declassified range)
These radars lock onto targets, maintain precise orientation, and guide our response.
Seven new facilities in Barcelona, Ottawa, Guadalajara, Caracas, Tunis, Tirana, and Baghdad—will build these vital systems.

3. Engagement

Once the threat is tracked, our Surface-to-Air Missile batteries receive a constantly updated stream of information.
These operators confirm identification, obtain lock, and execute engagement with high accuracy.
Should a coastal radar be destroyed or fail, the tracking radars can take over detection.
If both layers are disrupted, SAM installations can rely on their own radars—or, if necessary, infrared systems already prepared for this role. Every link is reinforced. Every layer has a backup.

Global Production Network

This year, Monarch Defense will begin constructing ten new factories to manufacture the coastal radar arrays.
These facilities will be located near Madrid, Paris, Medellín, Montreal, Vancouver, Belgrade, Addis Ababa, and Lagos.
Their output can be shipped to any coast where installation is required. Each installation takes roughly three KE weeks—and the system can be deployed rapidly worldwide. This is an expensive investment. But it is an investment in security, in deterrence, and in the future of our republic.

Electronic Warfare/Countermeasures

The world is changing. Potential adversaries are experimenting with electronic warfare, jamming, and radar suppression.
We will not be outpaced.
Our engineers are already integrating anti-radiation countermeasures and hardened guidance protocols. INTERA-70 will not be a static shield—it will evolve, adapt, and defend against the threats of tomorrow. INTERA-70 will be capable of implementing modern technologies as they are made, and fears no immediate replacement systems or platforms.

Why We Are Revealing This Now

Let me be very clear:
INTERA-70 is not being fully disclosed.
Certain specifications, operational codes, and classified capabilities will remain known only to our military and intelligence services.
But the system’s existence and its core structure are now public for two reasons:

1. Reassurance

You, the people of Spin, deserve confidence that your skies and your cities are protected by the most capable systems we can build.

2. Deterrence

Any nation watching us tonight must understand that unauthorized aircraft will not penetrate the Spinnish coast—not now, and not in the years ahead.
INTERA-70’s coverage is dense, overlapping, and resilient.
To test it would be a mistake.

Our Promise

My message to you is simple:
We are safer today than we were yesterday.
We will be safer tomorrow than we are today.
This is not a call to fear.
It is a call to confidence.
INTERA-70 represents the values of this administration: modernization, precision, and the readiness to confront new realities without abandoning reason or restraint.
We move forward—calmly, firmly, and united.
Thank you, and good night.
