Royal New Zealand Navy plans The Royal New Zealand Navy has several long - term projects to retain and update its capabilities for the future . Current planning framework . Defence White Paper . The Defence White Paper was released by the New Zealand Government in November 2010 . Policy intentions include : Short term ( next five years ) : Beyond five years Other proposals Long - Term Development Plan ( LTDP ) . Is a planning tool to enable decisions on defence acquisitions to be taken in the context of the Government ’ s defence policy , the priority of projects and affordability . This LTDP contains a comprehensive list of projects , with preliminary costing , timings , and priorities . The LTDP has a rolling forward focus of 10 years and was constructed as an active document and was last updated in 2008 . Since the last update the New Zealand government released its Defence White Paper in late 2010 . The LTDP : The LTDP sets out several categories of projects . These are : Allocation of a project to a particular category does not necessarily reflect the order in which they will be started . System and platform upgrades . " Anzac Self - Defence Upgrade " This project proposes to upgrade the " Anzac " frigates ' self - defence systems to protect the Naval Combat Force against increasingly sophisticated anti - ship systems and to address equipment obsolescence . " Torpedo Replacement " This project proposes to replace the torpedoes for the " Anzac " frigates , P - 3 Orions and SH - 2G Seasprite helicopters to maintain the " Anzac " s basic self - defence capability against sub - surface threats and the P - 3 ' s area anti - submarine capability . " Remote Mine Detection " The Maritime Forces Review identified a requirement to protect New Zealand ' s major ports by developing a capacity to detect and dispose of mines and other explosives underwater . The Review concluded that the mine countermeasures role should be retained . The capability of the Navy to detect mine - like objects is becoming increasingly difficult as current equipment reaches the end of its economical life . Upgrading this capability would significantly improve the safety of personnel and ships over the current inadequate , emergency only , systems .

Snake Eater ( identification system ) Snake Eater is a military identification system and database developed by Computer Deductions , Inc . for the United States Army . The system allows military personnel to track and identify terrorists and insurgents in much the same way that mobile data terminal s are used by police officer s for criminals . Development began in late 2006 after being suggested by Major Owen West , a Marine Corps officer serving in the Anbar Province of Iraq . Snake Eater gives military personnel access to a database including names , addresses , known associates , and other pieces of information . This information , previously collected in homemade spreadsheet s or on pieces of paper , can now be accessed and expanded through hand - held devices . Funding for the project was originally provided by the Spirit of America project , a civilian organization that advocates support of U . S . troops abroad . Spirit of America provided $ 30 , 000 for the development of a prototype model , with Goldman Sachs contributing another $ 14 , 000 . The system uses technology previously released by Cross Match Technologies and Knowledge Computing Corporation of Arizona .
