The new AN/SPY-7(V)1 radar for Japan’s future pair of Aegis System Equipped Vessels, or ASEVs, recently demonstrated its ability to track targets outside the Earth’s atmosphere for the first time. This is a critical capability for the ASEVs, which will be armed in part with SM-3 anti-missile interceptors designed to destroy upper-tier ballistic missiles as they fly through space during the mid-course portion of their flight.
