In the beginning, the defense system was planned to be in the form of a huge and gigantic robot that carried a number of special weapons. Design specifications by Dr. Armstrong change his plan. Instead of creating one defense system, Dr Armstrong suggested the creation five separate and independent defense system which could with each other to form a sixth defense system which incorporate the five previous one to make a powerhouse defense system.

The members of PROJECT-HERCULES immediately went to work. For several years, the scientists worked feverishly. Throughout all the stages of development, giant leaps in technology were to solve many engineering, chemical and metallurgical problems. In all these breakthroughs, Dr Armstrong was either the inventor or developer. Among the many achievements of PROJECT: HERCULES are:

* The development of Titanium-Platinum alloy reinforced diamond crystals to with stand the terrific thermal (heat) created by flying at speed of Mach 6 and above. (So far, only the X-15 is able to match this speed while this allows the Voltes Crewzer to fly at speed of Mach 20.);
* The creation of an instantaneous response system through the use a gigantic hydraulic system which is able to provide a motor response at 0.1 of a second;
* The thrust velocities that make the possible speeds of around Mach 20 are obtained through nuclear reactors of the fusion type. These Fusion Drive Engines are small compared to the commercial Nuclear Reactors plants of the 1970's.
* The joining of the five separate defense machines is made possible by the releases of tremendous electromagnetic power that polarizes the combining components of each machine. Thus, Voltes V is locked to together not by ordinary method but through tremendous magnetic energy.

Completed, the defense system known as Voltes V is a scientific achievement surpassing today's technology by several hundred years. More than this, it shows what the whole of Mankind can achieve when working together and not against each other. PROJECT: HERCULES has more than just successfully completed its job. It has provided the Earth with a defense system that equals the military might of the Boazanian Empire.
