The Dynamics of Layered Fleet Defense
- Outer-Tier Detection & Long-Range Interception: High-power active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar arrays track inbound vectors hundreds of miles out, directing long-range surface-to-air missiles to neutralize targets outside visual range.
- Medium-Range Defense & Electronic Countermeasures: Area-defense missiles, electronic jamming arrays, and decoy launchers disrupt terminal guidance radars and infrared seekers.
- Point Defense & Close-In Weapon Systems (CIWS): High-rate-of-fire rotary cannons and agile short-range missile interceptors form a final barrier against leakers inside the inner perimeter.
