In the USA, the Aegis missile defense system intercepted 3 missiles for the first time

55
For the first time, the Americans, using the Aegis missile defense system, almost simultaneously intercepted three air targets - one ballistic and two cruise missiles. In the test, which took place over the Pacific Ocean in the Hawaiian Islands, took part destroyer «John Paul Jones». Reports about it TASS with reference to the US Defense Ministry’s Pro Agency.

In the USA, the Aegis missile defense system intercepted 3 missiles for the first time


“During the test, all three training targets were simultaneously launched from a test site on the island of Kauai and detected by a radar that is part of the Aegis system. The ballistic missile was destroyed by the Standard-3 Block 1В interceptor, and the cruise missiles - by the improved Standard-2 Block 3А, ”the missile defense agency said in a statement.

During the test, the work of other components of the Aegis system, including the command and control station and sensors installed on two unmanned aerial vehicles MQ-9 and Ripper and on the ground, was also checked, the agency notes.

According to the agency, “it was already the 29-th successful target interception during the 35 flight tests under the Aegis program, which began in the 2002 year.” In general, under the missile defense program with 2001, the United States carried out 82 flight tests, of which 66 are considered successful.

Aegis complexes will be incorporated into an integrated missile defense system in Europe, which the United States is creating together with other NATO member countries. “This system will help protect American troops stationed there as well as our allies and partners from missile threats,” the Defense Ministry summarizes.

            Russian missiles can even overcome the modernized American missile defense system, but Russia does not want to escalate the tension that the Americans provoke by deploying missile defense systems at the Russian borders that can carry out both defensive and offensive functions, the first deputy head of the United Russia Duma faction, member of the committee on defense, Afghan veteran Franz Klintsevich.

            According to him, now no one has any doubts or illusions that the United States initially put up these funds against Russia, and not against the supposedly Iranian threat.

            “But they were late with the missile defense system, because we are able to overcome the missile defense system,” he said.

            “We do not want anything, but it’s better not to touch us. Today we are ready to protect ourselves, our territory, citizens of the Russian Federation, and we need all to clearly understand this, ”Klintsevich said.

                Information for thought.
                1. ICBM "Yars" passes OUT 4 times faster than "Voevoda", and 2 times faster than ICBMs with LPRE.
                2. Covering the launch with electronic warfare systems (active-aiming and passive interference) by 2,5 -3 times increases the likelihood of non-detection in the airborne radar.
                3. X-101 rocket launchers, made using low visibility technology, are able to bypass the areas of the air defense system.
                4. The Himalayas (estimated) are 2 times more effective than the Khibiny, April 12 this year. who brought the crew of "Cook" to hysterics.
                And then there are things like "Satchel", "Rubezh", "Krasukha", TK-25M, "Alabuga", and "something else that is not taught at school, and something else that is not talked about"!
                So, not everything is as sad as it seems at first glance.

            Aegis combat system, a good thing. Especially with their SM-3 missiles.
            By the way, Aegis is translated as “Aegis,” the mythical shield of Zeus and Athena.

            Our "Aegis" should be ready by 2017 - the S-500.
            It will just be a full-fledged domestic missile defense.

            4 - theoretically possible. But only if one of them is ballistic, and the third "Standard" is worked out on it.
            Because, EMNIP, on the second "Standards" is the PAR of the GOS. Therefore, the number of these missiles, simultaneously guided in the final section, is limited by the number of AN / SPG-62 illumination radars, of which there are only 3 on the "Burks".

              and while the radar directs one missile, the others are already flying up.

                The problem is that goals are flying up too. And although the GOS itself in PAR mode only works for a few seconds on the final segment, it is also required to transfer the radar beam to the next target, to capture it and to maintain stable tracking (we don’t want to drive missiles into water due to disruption of tracking with loss of the reflected signal) time.
                The height of the radar above the waterline is 30 meters. So, for targets reaching 50 meters, it will be able to work, God forbid, from 40-45 kilometers.
                It would not turn out that it is too late to shine. smile

                It is not for nothing that the Yankees make the Standard with the AR / PAR of the GOS, which does not require radar target illumination - like the AIM-120 GOS.

                Not only. for the last time on October 24, 2014 a supersonic (somewhere 2,5max) GQM-163 Coyote was shot down 5 meters long with a diameter of 40 cm low-flying (about 4 meters high) against the background of water using the SM-6. Moreover, another destroyer was burnt due to the horizontal highlighting.

                  Now the Americans have caught up with the French .. "At the beginning of April 2012, the French Navy destroyer Forbin, using the PAAMS / Aster anti-aircraft missile system, successfully shot down a GQM-163A Coyote training target missile during an ongoing French Navy exercise. This version of the missile -targets Coyote was specially designed as a simulator of the Soviet-Russian anti-ship anti-ship Granite / Mosquito anti-ship missiles and was provided by the Americans to the French as NATO allies ...

                    He was shot down before, but not SM-6. The key point here is that they shot down behind the radio horizon and was guided by a different destroyer.
                    The main plus will be for AUG. Although many here think that AUG is a group of ships sailing in a dense group. But in the endangered period, the distance between the ships in the AOG is not me 50-100 km, the point is to expand the radar field as much as possible, so that the EW systems of one destroyer do not interfere with another and do not overlap each other's line of fire (like the English have the Falklands). That is, if an advanced destroyer (or hokai) that is located, for example, 100-200 km from an aircraft carrier, detects the launch of anti-ship missiles or the anti-ship missiles themselves, these missiles will operate the entire squadron with a range of SM-240 km, and since the SM-6 has homing with ARGSN , then there is no need to illuminate the target from the destroyer to the final sections, therefore the nearest destroyer can still use middle and near radius missiles. And this will significantly increase the defense ability of the aug.

              . I especially want to know how supersonic.

              Our Mosquitoes after a certain time (in accordance with the SAM system) sharply changed the parameters of the target’s movement, which led to a breakdown in tracking and a repeat of the cycle. And so until the meeting of the Kyrgyz Republic with a goal. Know-how is simply disgraceful, but not many know about it. And the worst thing for the Yankees is that they don’t react to REP ...
              It's easier with the Club: after capturing the target, the warhead with 200 kg of sea mixture (or TGA) rushes to the NK board in supersonic manner, and its radar continues to locate the "flying pole". Target separation is noticed late, when liferafts are ready.
              The torch was a problem, but it seems that it was solved by shooting IR traps.

        Aegis combat system (“Aegis”, from the English. Aegis - “Aegis”, the mythical shield of Zeus and Athens) is an American naval multifunctional combat information and control system (BIUS), which is an integrated network of naval means of lighting the situation, means of destruction, such as anti-aircraft guided missiles Standard missile 2 (SM-2) and more modern Standard missile 3 (SM-3), and control tools, formed on the basis of the widespread introduction of automated combat control systems (ASBU). The system allows you to receive and process information from sensors of other ships and aircraft of the connection and issue target designations to their launchers. The name "Aegis" also bears the air defense system used as part of this CIUS.
        To date, the Aegis BIUS is used by the Navy of the USA, Spain, Norway, the Republic of Korea and the Naval Self-Defense Forces of Japan (in total, more than 100 ships are equipped with it). Soon, the Aegis installation is expected on the new Australian Navy air defense destroyers. In addition, US Navy ships equipped with this system will be used as a ship component of the European missile defense system (NATO).
        American ships equipped with Aegis initially used Standard-2 missiles, and some of them are currently being converted to Standard-3 missiles.
        If the SM-2 Block IV interceptor missiles are used to destroy ballistic missiles in the atmosphere at the final stage of their flight, and their warhead is equipped with a fragmentation warhead with conventional explosives, the SM-3 interceptor missile destroys ballistic missiles located in the middle of the trajectory and flying outside the atmosphere, with the help of a kinetic warhead, that is, by shock-contact interaction [

      The ballistic missile was destroyed by the Standard-3 Block 1B interceptor, and the cruise missiles by the improved Standard-2 Block 3A, ”the missile defense agency said in a statement. Ballistic missile - what speed? What height? cruise missiles are the same what speed and altitude and what are their characteristics of these target missiles? request

        Ballistic missile - what speed?

        Ballistic missile simulators can be target missiles:
        Aegis Readiness Assessment Vehicle (ARAV-C)
        The missile itself is called Talos Castor-1, based on Talos missiles



        or Medium Range Target (MRT) based on MGM-29 Sergeant

      Yes, even one is enough for them, because, unlike target missiles, ours maneuver "incorrectly" and "meanly". which then Psaki will not fail to mention. Well, if, of course, he survives.

        Once again from me. Aegis is a buggy system. And if she worked 1 time in tests, then she has continuous failures, failures, and a black streak of bad luck. Let them test their junk on exercises. I will laugh heartily.

      but this is bad news, especially if one ship hit them, and how many shouts there were that Aegis had few backlight channels (there were only three emnip there, but anyway).

        You can’t beat anything with a simple blank, of course, but here it’s not so simple:
        The Mk 142 interception stage is a homing device, on board of which there are a matrix IR-GOS with a cryogenic unit, several processors, a solid propellant maneuvering and orientation installation (DACS), a power source and a number of other subsystems.

          Sergey, then write to the end: the remote control provides only 3 pulse rate correction ... And then, if the BB continues to maneuver?

        Yes, it's better as Vladimir Volfovich! From the TV screen - the Atlantic coast of the states "has been mined with nuclear bombs since the times of the USSR! That's what you need to think about, not about NATO's advancement to our borders!"
        And there was such silence in the studio ... although before that, the speakers had just not torn each other's hair on their heads! Poor Amerov correspondent was speechless!
        That's what I understand! And you, friend sieve, all strive to castrate yourself instead of USayki. No, that won't do! Better than one megaton-class ICBM to miss the Yellowstone super volcano! And there is nothing more to invent! The gates of ADA themselves will open before the "unique" nation!

      It is necessary, as Sakharov suggested, when he had not yet signed up for human rights activists, to undermine nuclear weapons off the coast of the United States, provoking a tsunami, and to hammer into some California fault so that the Ticonderoga could not return. And to defuse missile defense in Poland and other neighboring states with the help of ground-based special operations.

      In my opinion, the United States can be congratulated on successful firing. Indeed, the concept of long-range missile defense as a ship component is the basis of missile defense of the bast over the superpower.

      Most likely, such technologies of global interaction are present in the Russian Federation. In the Russian Federation, I suspect by and large the system exists in the submarine fleet, and the coordination of the grouping is ensured by a group of scientific vessels.

      As for the new karabole construction projects, there really is a backlog of the USSR which, together with new developments, gives reliability in use. The use of long-range missile defense should be laid not only on long-range navigation, but also on the coastal radius. Such systems can be put on stream in a short time by modernization.

      The Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern will have work, and the Russian Federation will have even better protection.

      As always, Americans wishful thinking
      For the first time, with the help of the Aegis missile defense system, almost simultaneously intercepted three air targets — one ballistic and two cruise missiles.
      The keyword is almost simultaneous. I wonder how it is? If the speed of a ballistic missile is about 10 times higher than the speed of a cruise missile. Thus, we return to the classics and the Aegis system turns out to be single-channel when working on a ballistic target and 2-channel when working on low-altitude.
      Although one should pay tribute to the SM-3 Block IIB technology, which provides for the use of remote target designation from remote radars and control systems with the possibility of updating target data during the flight, is promising and will significantly increase the survivability of the missile defense and air defense systems, and the kinetic warhead makes these missiles significantly more compact.
