AN/SPY-1

The AN/SPY-1 is a sophisticated radar system used on naval ships, primarily for detecting and tracking enemy missiles and aircraft. It operates by emitting radio waves that bounce off objects, then analyzing the returned signals to determine their location, speed, and movement. This allows the ship’s weapons to identify threats early and respond effectively. The system can track multiple targets simultaneously, providing real-time data to guide missile defense and ensure the ship’s security. Overall, the AN/SPY-1 enhances a naval vessel’s ability to monitor its surroundings and defend against aerial and missile threats.
