FCCin(SW)JOHl HOEGEIVIEIER- CM ft l V In Greek mythology, AEGIS was the name of the impenetrable shield belongmg to Zeus. Today, AEGIS is the name of the most technologically advanced and most potent naval weapon system in the world. The core of ANTIETAM ' s superior war fighting capability is the AEGIS WEAPON SYSTEM and the heart of this AEGIS WEAPON SYSTEM is the 23 Fire Controlmen that comprises CM-division. CM-division is dedicated to maintaining the complex components of AEGIS to the peak of their design and then operating the system to the very limits of its capability. AEGIS integrates the individual weapons systems and electronic sensors from around the ship into a single, central combat system. These individual systems are then enhanced by the addition of the computer controlled AN SPY- 1 A phased array radar, a Command and Decision element to analyze the endless quantity of information and finally a sophisticated display system that organizes this dizzying quantity of data into usable information at the finger tips of ANTIETAM ' s watch standers.
