| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Missile-defense capabilities on board U.S. Navy cruisers and destroyers can be updated in the future without the requirement to build new ships.
The surface Navy has a strong argument that the Department of Defense strategic guidance and the rapidly changing security environment fully support Aegis modernization plans. Modernized Aegis warships are critical naval assets for overseas commanders-even more so when cost-effectively upgraded with the capability for integrated air and missile defense (IAMD). Expedited deployment of this next-generation capability will boost near-term readiness and further solidify U.S. maritime dominance. Modernized Aegis warships are the combatant commanders' guarantors of globally integrated joint-force operations for joint access-the sharp edge of the nation's 21st-century deterrence policy. |
