SPY-1 radar

The SPY-1 radar is a powerful tracking and surveillance system used primarily on naval ships, like Aegis-equipped destroyers and cruisers. It utilizes phased array technology, allowing it to quickly scan large areas for aircraft, missiles, and other threats without needing to physically rotate. This radar can track multiple targets simultaneously and provide data to help guide defensive systems. Its capability enhances maritime security by enabling real-time responses to threats, making it an integral part of modern naval combat operations.
