Aegis Global Alliance - The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts

摘要

Rear Admiral (RDML)Tom Druggan, USN, Program Executive, Sea-Based Weapons Systems/AEGIS Ballistic Missile Defense (SBWS/ABMD), warns that "advanced missile threats-from supersonic, sea-skimming cruise missiles to hypersonic missiles to ballistic missiles - are proliferating widely with rapidly increasing capability. These advanced missile threats stress our missile defences at all levels - tactical, operational, and strategic-at sea and ashore," he explained. "Potential adversaries view missiles as a primary method to hold United States and allied/ partner forces at risk. It is important that US war-fighters have the capabilities to prevail against today's and tomorrow's threats."
