September 25, 201213 yr From http://www.heraldonline.com/2012/09/21/4281857/us-army-navy-demonstrate-jlens.html [excerpt] US Army, Navy Demonstrate JLENS' Ability to Defeat Anti-ship Cruise MissilePublished: September 21, 2012 ... During the test, a JLENS' fire-control radar acquired and tracked a surrogate anti-ship cruise missile target. The track information was passed to sailors via the Raytheon-made Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) sensor-netting system. The sailors then fired a Raytheon-made Standard Missile-6 at the target. Initial SM-6 guidance used targeting information provided by the JLENS via CEC to the Aegis Weapon System (AWS) until the SM-6's onboard radar was able to acquire and track the target. Hat tip to Brains.
