Aegis system

Aegis system(Aegis Combat System) With, United States of AmericaNavyThe fleet air defense system which was developed. Aegis,The Greek mythAmong them the highest God Zeus daughter Athena, the shield which you say, pays all wickedness (the breastplate)Aegis(Aegis)Origin of a wordSo it is.

World War II, cold war age Soviet UnionSaturation attackAnd so on it was made in order to oppose. Thing of the vessels which load the Aegis system generalAegis warshipWith it calls. We have become secrecy concerning the efficiency where the Aegis system is detailed, detailed thing is unclear, but the fact that it is said generally is listed under.

4 aspects which are equipped in the bridge and the like as a feature of the warship which loads the Aegis systemPhased array radar（SPY-1) Is listed, (plate shaped ones of 8 rectangularities are the phased array radar). This radar is said that detection distance of several hundred kilograms of radius you are proud also above 500km (in other version). Like the usual radar turning the radar antenna, it is not to scan by being able to apply the direction where radio wave throws, changing the transmission direction of radio wave electrically by combining the many small-sized antenna, it scans. Because of this high speed scan is possible much in comparison with the usual radar, but because scan angle is limited, when scan of all direction is necessary, it is used with combination of the antenna unit plural.

But as for the place where the Aegis system is superior truly thatRadarSo it is not and it is shortness of simultaneous target throughput and corresponding time, (also the radar being superior of course, it enters). As for Aegis system phased array radar andSonarIt detected with the anti- water radar and the like missile、 aircraft、Surface ship、SubmarineAnd so on it distinguishes several hundred goals, it identifies the goal which becomes threat from portable direction and the like of that goal, whether it is most effective it appraises and so on to use which weapon, vis-a-vis that goal being automatic, from among those it is highest and it is possible to attack simultaneously vis-a-vis the goal of 10 or more. It became possible to shorten with this system time to attack (the reaction time) in comparison with the usual vessels from enemy in sight. In addition after the タイコンデロガ class 5th warshipVLSIt was possible furthermore to shorten the time to attack by equipping.

As for first being introduced,1983 year、タイコンデロガ class missile cruiser.

As for the country which disposes the Aegis warship in the world America, Japan、 Spain, other than three countries, presently Korea、TaiwanDisposition is planned. The proper, expensive case of the extent which it corresponds to this high performance for the sake of, the economic foundation like five large countries is necessary.
