About the hip The Aegis Weapon System, which distinguishes CHANCEL- LORSVILLE and her sister cruisers as the U.S. Navy's most capable battle group surface combatants, is the heart of the ship's war-fighting capability. The Aegis system is an extensive integration of electronic detection, engagement and control equip- ment and provides CHANCEL- LORSVILLE with a truly multi- mission capability-fully equip- ping her to meet the demands of the missile era. CHAN CELLORSVlLLE's Aegis Weapon System, combined with her Vertical Launching System CVLSD, can rapidly fire more missiles and guide them in flight with greater accuracy, than any existing system. The Aegis sys- tem, produced by General Elec- tric, is designed to counter all current and projected missile threats to the Navy's battle forces A conventional mechanically ,IO , 'L zz.: , . '!'!lllllllll rotating radar sees a target when the radar beam strikes that target once during each 360 degree rotation of the antenna. A separate tracking radar is then required to engage each target, In contrast, the computer-controlled ANXSPY-1B phased array radar of the Aegis system brings these functions together within one system. The four fixed arrays of SPY send out beams of electro- magnetic energy in all directions simultaneously, continuously providing a search and tracking capability for hundreds of targets at the same time. CHANCELLORSVILLE is equipped with the MK 41 VLS, a multiwarfare missile launching system capable of firing a mix of missiles against airborne and surface threats. It is modular in design With eight modules sym- metrically grouped to form a launcher magazine. The modules contain all the necessary compo- nents for launching functions when interfaced with the ship's Aegis Weapon System. VLS is a product of Martin-Marietta. The ship's weapons include Standard surface-to-air missiles, Tomahawk and Harpoon surface- to-surface cruise missiles, Pha- lanx rapid-fire guns, 5 rapid-fire guns and torpedos. The ship's Weapons systems are supplemented by electronic warfare countermeasures, decoys, and passive detection systems. The Aegis system can also direct the operation of fighter aircraft and helicopters in protection of the battle group. The Aegis display system, a series of four large-screen displays, enables the Commanding Officer and Tactical Action Officer to remain con- stantly abreast of the battle situation.
