| Australian naval defense system pass acceptance trial
CANBERRA, Australia, Aug. 30 () -- An Australian-designed phased array radar and combat management system for ships has successfully completed operational acceptance trials.The testing of the radar and combat system -- part of a program to modernize anti-ship missile defense (ASMD) on Anzac-class frigates -- was conducted by the Royal Australian Navy and the Defense Materiel Organization.The final operational acceptance tests included successful Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile engagements of multiple sea-skimming targets and engagement by an ESSM of an advanced supersonic target."The ASMD upgrade provides the ANZAC class with a significantly enhanced level of self- and local-area defense against modern anti-ship missiles,[url=http://www.truesreligion.com/]True Religion Sale[/url]," said Vice Adm. Ray Griggs, chief of the Royal Australian Navy. "The complexity of the firing scenarios is unsurpassed in the RAN's history,[url=http://www.truesreligion.com/]Cheap True Religion Jeans[/url], particularly the successful firings against supersonic targets. The results from this activity are a ringing endorsement of the capability flowing from the ASMD program."The radar was built by CEA Technologies Australia.
