Renouvellement de la flotte et Arleigh Burke, ça ne va pas trop ensemble.

toujours 24 Arleigh Burke Flight III (AEGIS Baseline 10 avec SPY-6) a livree d'ici 2040 (peut meme augmenter a 42)! il y a pas mal d'evolution depuis le Flight 1, en equipement et aussi en redesign de l'espace interieur. Flight III est un navire au top niveau tech et puissance de feu.

le DDGX ne remplacera que les Ticonderoga et 28 Arleigh Burke Flight I et II a partir de ???, car toujours en cours d'etude

avec environ une centaine d'Arleigh Burke a terme, c'est la colonne vertebrale de la flotte de surface de la US Navy pour encore plusieurs decennies.

This week, Raytheon announced the AN/SPY-6(v)4 completed its first series of live tests at sea, in a statement to USNI News. 

The tests at the Navy’s range on Barking Sands, Hawaii, come ahead of the first installation of the radar on legacy guided-missile destroyers. 
 
“During multiple tests over open water, the radar successfully tracked air and surface targets under various conditions. These tests demonstrated the radar's advanced tracking capabilities across different mission scenarios and validated years of modeling and simulation work,” reads a statement from the company. “Additionally, the tests yielded the first live data set for the (V)4 configuration, which will help refine the system for future testing and eventual shipboard deployment. 
 
The SPY-6 air search radar is set to be the backbone of the Navy’s radars across surface platforms from frigates to aircraft carriers. The air and missile defense radar was originally awarded to the company in 2013 as the follow-on to the Lockheed Martin AN/SPY-1D(v) radars that are a mainstay on the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers. The purpose is to track aircraft, cruise-missile and ballistic-missile threats simultaneously. At the time, Raytheon claimed the radar was 30 times more sensitive than the legacy SPY-1s.  

The new Flight III Arleigh Burke destroyers were built around the SPY-6 radar, and the version tested at sea was meant to be backfit into the existing Flight IIA hulls. 
 
The SPY-6 family is built from two-foot square boxes with the Flight IIAs including 24 boxes on each of the four radar faces. The backfit will be part of the DDG 2.0 modernization program that would also add the SEWIP (pronounced: SEE-WHIP) Block III electronic warfare package to the ships.  
 
The first ship to install SEWIP Block III was USS Pinckney (DDG-91). The added sponsons on the ship were met with mixed reviews once it left the yard.
