The Aegis Evolution: Outpacing Emerging Threats |
| Doug Wilhelm, director of International Aegis programs |
|
| Technology continues to advance and threats continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. The Aegis Combat System continues to pace the threat by the continuous modernization of the Aegis Integrated Air and Missile Defense Weapon System. First designed to enhance fleet defense against other navies, Aegis has evolved into the premier naval combat system, globally-deployed to counter ballistic missiles and other advanced air and missile threats. Aegis has grown into a truly international enterprise as well, with Australia, Japan, Norway, the Republic of Korea and Spain adopting and adapting it successfully to their own unique needs and ship designs. For more than 40 years, Aegis has led technology advancements and continues to advance these technologies today and into the future. |

Rapidly, these systems are maturing and becoming more trusted on the front line in both combat and surveillance missions, as well as commercially in law enforcement and agriculture. George Barton will provide an overview and program updates of the Lockheed Martin portfolio of unmanned aircraft. |
