AEGIS Flashcards
AEGIS Capabilities
Can control up to 15 standard missiles at once (6 must be Command All the Way)
Command All the Way (CAW) - Utilizes SPY to provide homing for SM2 when FCS is unavailable
9 Elements of AEGIS
1) Command and Decision (C&D)
2) AEGIS Display System (ADS)
3) Weapon Control System (WCS)
4) AN/SPY-1D(V) (SPY)
5) Vertical Launch System (VLS)
6) Standard Missile - Block 2 (SM2)
7) Fire Control System (FCS)
8) Operational Readiness Test System (ORTS)
9) AEGIS Combat Training System (ACTS)
What is the Purpose of C&D?
Correlate and Evaluate data from various radars and sensors to effectively employ various weapon systems.
C&D Equipment
1) Mission Critical Enclosure
- House the computers that run AEGIS
- Total of 12 MCE’s
- MCE1 is cooled by Sonar skid and 2 - 12 are cooled by C&D skid
2) AEGIS LAN Interconnections System (ALIS)
- Backbone of AEGIS. 4 routers and 2 switches
What is AEGIS Display System?
To give graphical representation to the tactical picture
What is Weapon Control System?
- Calculates the Fire Control Solution
- Determines the best weapon for a threat
- Make weapon handover from AEGIS
- Gives recommendations on kill evaluation after missile intercept
