How Every Naval Air Defense System Actually Works

Описание: How does a modern warship defend itself against aircraft and anti-ship missiles moving at extreme speed?

This documentary explains how naval air defense systems evolved from anti-aircraft guns and radar-directed fire to guided missiles, Aegis, CIWS, electronic warfare, decoys, and modern networked defense.

Discover how each layer works together — detecting threats, tracking them, intercepting them at long range, and protecting the ship when everything else fails.
