	Aegis combat system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The computer-based command-and-decision element is the core of the Aegis combat system.
		The Aegis system is being enhanced to act in a Theater Missile Defense role, to counter short- and medium-range ballistic missiles of the variety typically employed by rogue states (see Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System).
		The Aegis system correctly identified and reported flight 655's civilian IFF (identification, friend or foe) number, and that it was only flying at 385 knots airspeed; however the crew of Vincennes misinterpreted this information.

	Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The current effort to deploy Aegis ballistic missile defense capability was kindled in the early 1990s to provide a weapon system vehicle for exploratory testing of LEAP technology being developed by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO).
		The initial Aegis combat system success in demonstrating the potential for ballistic missile killing in 2002 may have contributed to President Bush's decision to build an emergency capability to be deployed by late 2004.
		While Aegis BMD ships transmit their initial target detection information to the national Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system for potential defense of the US, they can also fire their Standard Missile-3 to provide theater level ballistic missile defense against short and intermediate range tactical ballistic missiles.

	Aegis Weapon System
		Like the nuclear submarine and Polaris ballistic-missile system before it, there was a major threat to our nation that made the development of the Aegis system a national priority.
		Aegis represented a major transformation, in which the ship, the combat systems and the training systems were designed as a single unit.
		The core of the Aegis combat system is the computer-based command and decision element - this interface makes the Aegis combat system capable of simultaneous operation against a multi-mission threat: anti-air, anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare.

	AEGIS Combat System
		Aegis was designed and developed as a complete system, capable of engaging in simultaneous warfare on several fronts -- air, surface, subsurface, and strike.
		The complexity of the AEGIS combat system was such that the program demanded special management treatment, which led to the establishment of the AEGIS shipbuilding project at Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA PMS-400) in 1977.
		Aegis is the term used for the armor of Zeus and and Athena, from which the expression "under the aegis of" meaning "under the protection of" is derived.

		The Aegis combat system, fielded to Ticonderoga-class (CG 47) guided-missile cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class (DDG 51) guided-missile destroyers, is considered by many to be the greatest success ever achieved in the fields of systems engineering and systems integration of surface combatants.
		The Mk1 and Mk2 systems are based on the integration--by means of a fiber-optic local area network (LAN)--of shipboard air-defense sensors and weapons with a redundant "distributed" processor architecture and the UYQ-70 advanced display system, which is based on COTS technology.
		An extensive cruiser conversion program, encompassing both combat systems and ship-machinery upgrades, is scheduled for 22 of the 27 Ticonderogas to ensure that their combat systems remain capable of integrating new weapons, sensors, and computer technology for many years to come.

		These rules do not replace the Aegis combat system for most fights, only for situations in which the rapier is used as a primary weapon, mainly formal duels and rencounters.
		Players familiar with modern fencing should note that rapier dueling is quite a bit different from either foil or epee, partly due to the use of a much heavier weapon, partly due to the deadliness of the engagement, and partly due to the lack of a modern "scientific" approach to the art.
