Description:
The AEGIS is a total weapon system that performs from detection to kill. The heart of this system is the AN/SPY-1 phased array radar capable to perform search, track and missile guidance functions simultaneously with a track capacity of over 100 targets.
The computer based command and control element makes the AEGIS capable of simultaneous engagements against airborne, surface and underwater threats. AEGIS MK 82 Mod 0 Guided Missile Director and MK 200 Mod 0 Director Controller are major components of the Aegis Weapons System. Both are assembled by General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products.
In March 2005, Raytheon announced that the Aegis weapon system Baseline 7 phase 1 was tested on the USS Momsen (DDG 92) against subsonic and supersonic targets. The Standard Missile-2 Block III, Block IIIA and Block IIIB as well as the ESSM were involved in the testing. During the tests the destroyer Momsen scored several kills successfully and two kills against two separated targets at the same time.
