The Aegis system is an extensive integration of electronic detection, command and decision programs, and engagement systems. ANZlO's weaponry and state of the art electronics truly distinguish her as a multi-mission warship able to simultaneously engage air, surface, and subsurface threats. The ANISPY- l B is the primary sensor of the Aegis system. This computer controlled phased array radar eliminates the need for separate search and tracking radars by simultaneously performing both functions. The four fixed arrays of the SPY radar fonn small beams of electromagnetic energy, and steer them to provide near instantaneous full radar coverage. lt is capable of tracking hundreds of contacts. - ANZlO's layered anti-air capability centers around the MK 4I Vertical Launch System fVLSi, a multiwarfare missile launching system capable of firing a variety of missiles against airborne and surface threats. Standard Missiles provide ANZIO anti-air defense out to long ranges. For closer air largels, ANZIO wields an air gun capability with its five inch guns. To complete its anti-air defenses the Phalanx weapons system delivers a lethal punch to close inbound missiles. The ship's surface and subsurface weapons are extremely capable. Tomahawk and Harpoon cruise missiles provide stand-off strike capability while Standard Missiles and live inch guns handle short range engagements. For anti-submarine warfare, ANZlO is the first Aegis cruiser to be equipped with the powerful ANISQS-53C hull mounted sonar. Thissystem together with the ANISQS-I9 towed array, ANXSQQ-28 sonobuoy processor, and the LAMPS MK lll weapon system form the most advanced sonar suite placed on a surface ship. ANZIO can deploy torpedos using its LAMPS MK Ill helicopter, MK32 SVTT, or inorganic asw aircraft assigned to ANZlO's control. ' ANZlO's hard kill weapons are complimented by electronic warfare countermeasures, decoys and passive detection systems. She possesses excellent aircraft control capabilities. Her superior command and control ability is augmented by a computer controlled radio center and an extensive display system. Four large screen displays enable the Commanding Officer and Tactical Action Officer to evaluate assets and hostile forces anywhere in the world and clearly display the battle picture. She is elegant, capable and BUILT TO FIGHT.
