The production contracts to produce these RetroTech designs was canceled as the Jihad drew to a close, but by this point Osaka Heavy Metrics had proved itself to be a viable and reliable supplier to the DCMS. Osaka became one of many companies to benefit from a determination on the part of the Combine that the military industrial basis of the realm should expand beyond the long-standing core based around [[Luthien Armor Works]], and was one of many small construction firms to receive contracts for work. In the case of Osaka, the contract was for a durable recon platform, which was sorely needed to plug the shortfall in reconnaissance assets within the DCMS while major 'Mech producers continued to focus on heavy designs to rebuild the shattered DCMS line units. The result was the SKU-197 ''Sokuryou'', which began production in [[3085]] from the company's factories on Togura and Philadelphia.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp34"/>
