Talk:Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System

I added the cleanup tag because it needs a basic rewrite. There are numerous grammar errors and in general the organization is not clear. Also, topics such as the North Korea test do not belong in this article.--Aaronp808 13:23, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Updated page
I have performed a massive rewrite to the entire page, added some of my own pictures and tried to make the document more clear and concise. Obviously this is an on going project and the page still needs much work. I also need to get more "official" references then just what I remember. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lasre (talk • contribs) 15:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC).


 * Do you feel this page should be somehow merged with the main Aegis page? --Hydrant 02:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm going to have to say no. You could really place Aegis BMD in with MDA or the Navy.  In fact, although the navy manages the design and implementation of the ABMD, the funding comes from MDA.  Besides, if we put everything that an Aegis crusier can do (with all the specifics) on the Aegis page, it would be huge. Lasre 12:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
Here's the pop culture trivia cruft that doesn't belong in the article. --Dual Freq 04:09, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

According to The Wall Street Journal, the program was the brainchild of former Doobie Brothers guitarist Jeff Baxter.

Author Tom Clancy made a reference to the Aegis system's capability as an anti-ballistic missile platform in his book 'The Bear and the Dragon'. In the book it explains in some technical detail the ability of the AN/SPY-1 to track a ballistic inbound. The only issue was with the gate (specified time for radar signal to return to receiver) and the software for the SM-3 warhead.

Dual Freq; Thanks for taking that stuff out. Although I don't necessary agree about the doobie brothers, whoever but that stuff in about "The Bear and the Dragon" had no business doing so. Not only are they trying to portray fiction as fact, but also they didn't even get the story strait. For the record, the missile Clancy writes about in "The Bear and the Dragon" is the SM-2 Block IVa, which was cancelled about 6 years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lasre (talk • contribs) 20:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Aegis ashore
I didn't see any mention of this in the current page so will add shortly.

Name of April 2011 test?
The press release does not say:

DF-21D attack
in the Other capabilities section, it talks about a possible DF-21D attack, but it provides absolutely no context, and really doesn't appear to relate to the Aegis system as it is currently written. -- Aunva6talk - contribs 19:43, 12 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Added in bits from source about SM-3 vs ASBM. Hcobb (talk) 20:35, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:


 * http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/aegis-ballistic-missile-defence-bmd-us/
 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.
