Evolved SeaSparrow Missile (ESSM) is an international cooperative upgrade of the RIM-7 SeaSparrow Missile.
ESSM is bringing transformational anti-ship missile defense capabilities to the naval fleets of the United States and its NATO and other allies.
ESSM is currently deployed on U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and surface combatants of Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and Norway.  Future integration is underway onto the U.S. Navy's Ticonderoga-class cruisers, aircraft carriers, future DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyers as well as the surface combatants of the remaining ESSM team navies and multiple third-party international navies.

 ESSM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03)
The ESSM (Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile) is the successor to RIM-7M NATO Sea Sparrow used aboard previous Dutch Navy frigates.
ESSM uses an autopilot for mid-course guidance which is updateable via datalink from the launching ship, switching to semi-active homing in the terminal phase of the engagement.
ESSM has 2-4 times the energy of the RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missile which, combined with its mid-course auto-pilot guidance, gives ESSM roughly twice the range of the Sea Sparrow missile.

 Dry deposition
ESSM: Moreover, an equidistant horizontal-subgrid is introduced for finer resolving the topography.
The surface fluxes of momentum, sensible and latent heat, long-wave radiation, soil heat flux and wetness as well as the surface-energy balance are calculated in the usual approximations, however, employing the individual surface and soil properties of the subgrid cells.
The ESSM method inevitably entails, that the emissions and concentrations, though separately treated about the vertical surface-layer subgrid within each horizontal-subgrid cell, have to adjust to form a mean value on the first reference level of the common model grid (compare the beginning of chapter 2.2).

And if working with sports physicians, dieticians, physiotherapists and biokineticists is not what he had imagined he would end up doing, Collins has, as he indicates, fallen in love with the science and the close-knit unit.
ESSM's sole biochemist/molecular biologist for much of the past five to six years, Collins has worked hand-in-hand with his colleagues at ESSM and the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA), where much of the unit is based, on a wad of projects.
ESSM's location in the SSISA - with its gym and smorgasbord of sports and health services - also means that whatever answers to scientific teasers the team comes up with, get some very practical outlets via the institute's work with elite and recreational athletes, and other communities.

The ESSM, GHI Systems` new Environmental Shock Simulation Machine is a free fall, hard surface impact machine that simulates the environmental handling threat which small or handheld products must survive.
The ESSM controls this with a unique adjustable grasping assembly that maintains the product's orientation during free-fall, then releases it just before it impacts a selectable surface.
The ESSM is truly a unique tool because it allows you to drop your product onto a surface of your choice, from a user-selectable free-fall height, with controlled impact orientation and documented impact velocity, while facilitating high speed filming for dynamics analysis.
