Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System Overview

Aegis BMD serves a critical missile defense function for the United States and Allies, with continuously evolving capabilities. By the end of 2020, the Missile Defense Agency will test an Aegis Ship’s ability to protect Hawaii from an ICBM, indicating a potentially greater role for Aegis in homeland defense. Providing protection for U.S carrier strike groups, our allies, and the homeland, Aegis BMD remains as relevant as ever, defending against rogue nations and deterring China in the Asia-Pacific.

Wow, we need many more AEGIS ships floating around our coast.

I always look back so I can realize the research and development that worked towards the standard 6 missile, the age of system and the new spy 6 radar oh, it's an incredible leap and capability and now we can track the flying saucers with it, which is incredibly interesting most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life

[JakeSnake]

And to think how sophisticated it is considering how much they don’t tell us!

[Dra]

With the new radar we can protect Hawaii

[Dra]

And now we have the Spy 6 radar, I don't have all the data on it because I'm still doing analysis on the Spy 1 radar

So Kongo and Atago still live... it's good to hear :)

Optic computing or dynamic computing interface reduce software weakness

[leoaguilar]

Things I wonder
1 computer software advances and missiles getting hacked

2 how long does the fuel preserves how often it gets swapped what type of security these missiles have?
3 how well do the missiles work against hypersonic weapons and air decoys?
4 how do we have and can we drop them from space?

[HabibiGermany]

interesting, I think this works with 1-2 long range missiles, but not with 100 oder 500 from rocket lunchers short ranged, because as long as humans sitting behind the screen, it takes to long !

And what if this one Base in Germany, Rammstein, getting hit ? Nothing works anymore, and thanks to the video, now every enemy know which and where is the control centre off all this. !

Why can't Aegis be used as an "Air traffic controller" for our airports? It can track 100 targets and provide fire control solutions for them. Why not civilian aircraft?

Steel Battalion is the best game ever made and one of my best buddies I met through that game, gets to help operate one of these bad boys. He said he wants to shoot one at my house, but I think he's just joking....right?

The DAY you allow ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE the capabilities to make these decisions without COMMON SENSE will be the day the WORLD IS HEADED TOWARDS A DATE WITH DESTRUCTION.

[Archy]

AEGIS is basically today's SKYNET.

[armorhide]

Please, call it spy, like the word. No one who interacts with it calls it ess pee why, except maybe to politicians and investors
If no one else has mentioned it

[dibensy]

Sorry guys, but I don't think those ships will stand a chance against an onslaught of the current Russian or Chinese Kinzhal type hypersonic missiles. Just being honest.

[javacup]

So these missiles can go mach 9 or not? because the russian missiles go mach 9 or more. it would be silly if aegis is too slow to even keep up with the other missiles.

A child is narrating this video. Come on...get someone who knows his s hit.
