he Navy Theater Wide program continues
to build upon the modifications we are making
for the Navy Area Defense system to AEGIS
ships and to the modified Standard missile.
The upper-tier Navy Theater Wide system
will further modify the missile for ascent,
midcourse, and descent phase exoatmospheric
intercepts. In addition, BMDO will work
with the Navy to modify the AEGIS Weapon
System to support the increased battlespace
required for the improved, longer range
interceptor.
