USS JOHN FINN, USA - October 26, 2018 - The latest evolution of the Aegis Combat System, Baseline 9.C2 (BMD5.1) successfully supported an MDA-led at-sea Ballistic Missile Defense System test event. During the test, the Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT)-built Aegis Weapon System detected, tracked, engaged and launched a missile to intercept a Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) target. Upgraded Aegis Baseline 9.C2 (BMD 5.1) includes an Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) capability to protect NATO Europe.

Aegis is the most-advanced, most-deployed combat system in the world.
The flexible nature of Aegis allows the system to meet a variety of mission requirements.
The Aegis Combat System has evolved into a worldwide network, encompassing more than 100 ships among eight classes in six countries — Australia, Japan, Norway, Republic of Korea, Spain and the United States.
