AegisA no-risk system for the threats of today —an evolutionary system for the threats of tomorrow
The Aegis Weapon SystemThe Lockheed Martin-developed Aegis Weapon Systemis the world’s premier naval air defense system and thesea-based element of the United States’ Ballistic MissileDefense System.The Aegis Weapon System is a seamlessly integratedradar and missile system capable of simultaneousoperation defending against advanced air, surface andsubsurface threats. A key component of the AegisWeapon System is the SPY‑1 multi-function phasedarray radar. It is the world’s most advanced and versatilemaritime radar, and is scalable to meet the mission needsfor a range of ships from corvettes to aircraft carriers.Why Aegis?AffordableThe scalable nature of the Aegis Weapon Systemallows it to fit the various budgets of allied nations.Aegis leverages more than 40 years of investment indevelopment and testing, making it the system of choicefor six navies.Cutting-EdgeThe Aegis Weapon System continues to set the standardfor integrated weapons systems worldwide. Ourapproach to Open Architecture (OA) has been adaptedby the U.S. Navy to provide its cruises and destroyerscutting-edge technology throughout their full hull life.In addition to supporting Aegis, our OA solutions areproviding the core command and control components forthe Littoral Combat Ship, and the Coast Guard’s NationalSecurity Cutter.ReliableAegis has the reputation of “working right every time,all the time.” In addition to successfully supporting morethan 3,800 missile launches at sea, the Aegis WeaponSystem has a proven track record of continuousoperational availability during frequent six- to10-month long deployments.
CapableAegis continues to evolve, providing sea warriors withthe world’s most powerful combat system.InteroperableThe Aegis Weapon System supports coordinatedoperations, improving mission effectiveness. Aegis isinteroperable with U.S. and allied forces, providing asensor net that transforms information superiority intocombat power, and acting as a force multiplier.AdaptableAegis is designed to evolve with new missionrequirements and increasing asymmetrical threats. AegisOA provides Aegis-equipped ships with affordable,easier and faster adaptation. Additionally, the OAstructure, allows international navies to more readilyincorporate indigenous systems into Aegis.Industrial CooperationLockheed Martin views industrial cooperation asa customer-focused partnership. We work with ourcustomers to identify and address their requirements,developing industrial alliances for economic growth.These alliances have fostered long-term businessrelationships built on disciplined performance and trust,extending across multiple international programs. Ourapproach of incorporating desired national systemsand industry partnerships into a proven solution forinteroperability has resulted in Aegis’ selection as theweapon system of choice in Australia, Japan, Norway,Republic of Korea and Spain.
Proven PerformanceToday’s Aegis Weapon System can simultaneouslyattack land targets, submarines and surface ships,while automatically implementing defenses toprotect the fleet against aircraft and missiles. Nowin its fifteenth evolution, the Aegis Weapon Systemis a revolutionary system, ready to face presentand future threats. Along with its transformationalcapabilities, it is backed by a Lockheed Martincommitment to implement an industry cooperationprogram optimized for in-country support of theAegis system.Aegis:the ideal systemfor today and tomorrow
