Northern Integrated Systems Group

The Northern Integrated Systems Group is a multinational partnership between the governments of Ringerike, Chezzetcook and Gardarike which facilitates co-operation in the design and development of various defense oriented products and technologies, as well as several joint state civil projects.

Electromagnetic Hypervelocity Gun
Early exploration into the feasibility of both Coilguns and Railguns was started by the NISG in the mid-1980s, with several prototypes being demonstrated over the years, issues remain however with generating and storing enough power to make such technologies practical, with current efforts being focused on electromagnetic weapons for ship emplaced purposes such as anti-missile and extreme long range surface bombardment tasks.

Electrothermal-Chemical Gun
The NISG's efforts towards developing a practical Gun have been ongoing since at least the mid-1990s, being seen as a more feasible alternative to Coilguns and Railguns. The current aim of the program is mounting a full scale prototype on an experimental variant of the NISG MBT14 in the near future, the project has successfully produced several smaller caliber static prototypes with projected applications being tank guns, artillery and ship based close-in weapon systems.

Joint Fusion Research Program
The Joint Fusion Research Program is a program with a stated end goal of developing a viable Nuclear Fusion Reactor for the purposes of civil power generation, to meet this end a series of research reactors are either in operation or being planned.

Products
The NISG does not manufacture it's own products outside of prototyping, with the respective member nation's own industries being responsible for serial production of NISG designs examples of such products include:

In Production
NISG MBT14

Formerly Produced
NISG MBT62 NISG MBT74

Controversies and Conspiracy Theories
Several of the NISG's classified development programs have drawn attention over the years from various detractors and conspiracy theorists, with a focus on activities at the Dimmaland Proving Grounds located within Gardarike, conspiracies' range from simple accusations of corruption to the organization being a cover for research into captured alien technology or the containment of a slew of supposed 'Anomalous Entities'.
