Weapons made for wars do not last long and are replaced by latest ones. This is mandatory, as a war cannot be won with old weapons based on outdated technologies. But Navy’s Aegis radar is working consistently even after 20 years of its manufacture. The radar coupled with Raytheon SM-3 missile is still one of military ballistic missile defense systems working up to the mark. The radar was built by Lockheed Martin to defend aircraft carriers from Soviet missile attacks. The main reason behind the success of this radar is its raw power and smart program management. It has adopted a commercial open architecture in order to keep up with rapid advancements in computing which makes it equipped with modern technologies and ready to meat ever-increasing pace of technological development.
