ESSM is Sparrow in name only.
It is an all new missile with tremendous Mach 4+ 30 nautical mile range performance achieved via an all-new vectored thrust rocket motor. It's state of the art. It is also supplemented by RAM, which is an autonomous fire and forget dual-mode point defense missile that scored a 95+% success rate during acceptance trials. SM-2MR Block IIIB(current standard) is also a very capable vectored thrust SAM, with dual mode SARH and IR terminal seeking. Within the electronic horizon, USN ships are VERY well protected. |
