Product Description

Aegis Ashore was first announced in 2009 as part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA), and is the land-based variant of the sea-based Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system. Aegis Ashore shares components of the ship-based version including the Aegis AN/SPY-1 radar, Command, Control, and Communication systems, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) systems, MK-41 Vertical Launch Systems, computer processors, display systems, power supplies, and Raytheon SM-3 interceptor missile variants. The system is designed to identify, track, and intercept short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles during their midcourse phase of flight. To keep pace with the evolving ballistic missile threat, Aegis Ashore facilities are also removable, allowing for mobility, adaptability, and worldwide deployment. Currently, Aegis Ashore is operationally deployed in Romania, with a test facility in Kauai, Hawaii. As mandated by the EPAA, another site in Redzikowo, Poland, is under development and will be operational by 2018. Future capabilities of Aegis Ashore will include engagement of longer range missiles, enhanced terminal capability against short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, early intercept, and engage-on-remote features
