DESCRIPTION:The first AN/SPY-1 radar was deployed nearly 40 years ago\, and
  today the system and its variants remain an essential part of U.S. Navy a
 nd Missile Defense Agency operations. AN/SPY-1 is the primary fire control
  radar for the Aegis Combat System on guided-missile U.S. Navy Destroyers 
 and Cruisers. This presentation provides a high-level introduction to the 
 AN/SPY-1 radar and Aegis\, touching on early developments and describing A
 egis ships and mission roles. Recent key capability upgrades are briefly d
 escribed\, such as Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)\, Aegis Ashore\, 
 and Naval Integrated Fire Control – Counter Air (NIFC-CA). The presentat
 ion concludes with current programs to advance Aegis capabilities for the 
 coming years\, such as the development of the Air and Missile Defense Rada
 r (AN/SPY-6).\n\nThe AN/SPY-1 radar is an S-band\, multi-function passive 
 electronically scanned array (PESA) with four fixed array faces. The radar
  provides 360° air surveillance\, detection\, tracking\, and discriminati
 on of air\, surface\, and missile threats\, and supports a variety of miss
 ile interceptors. AN/SPY-1 has evolved from a single platform air defense 
 system into a flexible multi-mission platform. Over its service lifetime\,
  AN/SPY-1 development has continuality pushed the boundaries of radar tech
 nology due to a challenging and evolving requirement set (e.g.\, short eng
 agement timelines\, high precision tracking for engagement missile support
 \, missile defense applications\, simultaneous multi-mission performance\,
  and clutter mitigation in adverse propagation conditions). This briefing 
 pulls from open source material to provide the audience with context and h
 igh-level perspectives into AN/SPY-1 programs\, ships\, and mission areas.
