Basic Amount
Displacement: 7700 tons? Full load displacement: 9,800 tons Length 165 meters? Breadth 21 meters? Draught: 6.2 meters Maximum speed: 30 knots Crew: 300 The first destroyer Atago started construction on April 5, 2004, was launched on August 24, 2005, and was officially commissioned on March 15, 2007, and the second ship Ashigara started construction on April 6, 2005, and was launched on August 30, 2006, and is currently undergoing sea trials. The second ship, the Adachi, was launched on August 30, 2006, and is currently in the sea trial stage, to be commissioned in March 2008 Japan plans to build four Atago-class destroyers.Weapons
The biggest difference between the Atago-class destroyers and the King Kong-class destroyers is that the Aegis system on top of them has been upgraded to Aegis Baseline 7. The core of Aegis Baseline 7 is the SPY-1D(V) phased-array radar, which allows the ship to simultaneously detect and track 1,000 targets and hit 20 of them at the same time (but in real combat). may only be able to track 900 and strike 12). Moreover, the ability to track ballistic missiles is also available." The Atago-class destroyers are equipped with two sets of U.S.-made MK-41 missile vertical launching systems, including 64 sets of launching units on the bow and 32 sets of launching units on the top of the helicopter hangar. Vertical launch system is the most advanced shipboard missile launcher in the world, which has the advantages of strong concealment, fast launching speed (up to 1 missile/second), short response time, and omni-directional attack, which are especially important for anti-saturation attack. MK-41 is a thermal launch technology, whereby the gas generated by the missile's tail flame in the silo is released through a specially designed exhaust duct. The Atago class is currently equipped with the RIM-66 Standard-2MR Block III A/B air defense missile." Standard"-2MR?Block ⅢA flight speed of Mach 2.5, the maximum range of 167 kilometers, shooting height of 10-19,800 meters, the use of mid-range inertial plus radio command correction and the end of the semi-active radar auto-seeking composite guidance. Compared with the "standard" -2MR Block Ⅲ, Block Ⅲ A-type range, accuracy and anti-jamming capability have been substantially improved, equipped with a high explosive combat unit of the explosive piece also has a greater speed, the incoming target of the greater destructive capacity. And can be more effective against ultra-low altitude and high-speed small targets (such as anti-ship missiles flying sea-skimming), can be 20-25 kilometers from the ship to intercept the target of ultra-low altitude flight at an altitude of 10-15 meters from sea level." The Standard-2MR Block IIIB is the newest model in the Standard-2 family. The missile's dual-mode terminal guidance with the addition of a set of auxiliary infrared sensors and the expansion of the missile's guidance logic algorithms allow the missile to better process information from shipboard sensors and missile seekers, thus improving the missile's performance against critical targets in the final flight phase. On the way to the target, the Standard-2 missile receives target correction commands from the phased-array radar via a data link from the MK-99 missile's fire control system, and changes trajectory in time to take the shortest path to the target. At the end of the missile flight, the SPG-62 fire control radar for the missile semi-active radar seeking end guidance system to provide end tracking and target irradiation, in order to guide the missile accurately hit the target. In the future, Japan will have to equip the Atago with the ability to intercept ballistic missiles on the "Standard"-3 Block Ⅰ air defense missiles." Standard"-3 missile flight speed up to Mach 12, minimum intercept altitude of 15 kilometers, the maximum intercept altitude of 122-160 kilometers, for high-altitude targets up to 425-500 kilometers. The Atago class directly introduced the U.S. "Aegis" combat system component - SQQ-89 (V) 10 integrated anti-submarine warfare system, and did not follow the "King Kong" class on the domestic system. This system has the ability to detect multiple types of underwater targets at long distances and has excellent detection capability for low-noise submarines and low-speed submarines in shallow waters. The Atago class is equipped with RUM-139 Aslok anti-submarine missiles and MK-46?Mod5 and 73 light anti-submarine torpedoes. It is also equipped with one SH-60J multi-purpose anti-submarine helicopter. the RUM-139 Aslok anti-submarine missile has a maximum range of 28 kilometers and can attack submarines in water depths of 40-1,000 meters. The combat arm is an MK-46?Mod5 anti-submarine torpedo. The Atago class has 16 MK-41 vertical launchers equipped with Aslok ASW missiles and 16 missiles in reserve. Japan is currently developing a new type of domestic anti-submarine missile using the Type 97 torpedo as the combat unit. the MK-46?Mod5 anti-submarine torpedo has a maximum speed of 44 knots, a range of 11 kilometers/40 knots, and a depth of operation of 6.1-457.2 meters. it has a high degree of accuracy in its guidance and has the ability to repeat attacks many times, and the guidance system can be re-entered into a state of search after losing the target until it runs out of power. the Atago class has 16 MK-41 vertical launch units equipped with Aslok missiles, with 16 rounds ready. The Atago's close-in defense system is two MK-15 Block IB "dense array" close-in defense systems, one on the bow and one on the helicopter hangar. The electronic warfare system is the NOLQ-2 integrated electronic warfare system and four MK-36?Mod12 foil decoy launchers and torpedo decoys. The naval weapons are eight Type 90 anti-ship missiles. The Kongo class is equipped with the U.S. UGM-Harpoon anti-ship missile. In addition, the hull of the Atago class has been significantly improved on the basis of the Kongo class.In addition, the Atago class also made significant improvements to the hull based on the Kongo class, such as the addition of a helicopter hangar, and the mast was changed to a windward tilting integral mast.
[Edit]Aegis
"Aegis" (Aegis) combat system is the U.S. Navy in order to meet the needs of the shipborne air defense system and the development of the "Advanced Shipboard Missile System" (ASMS). Aegis is the shield of Zeus, the great god of ancient Greek mythology. In the view of the U.S. Navy, "Aegis" combat system can effectively defend against enemy missile attacks launched from all sides at the same time, it constitutes the U.S. Navy fleet of solid shield. "Aegis" combat system has several characteristics: its response speed, the main radar from the search mode to track the way only 0.05 seconds, can effectively deal with the supersonic anti-ship missiles for sea-skimming flights; its anti-jamming performance is also very strong, can be in the environment of serious electronic interference normal work; in the counter-attack capability, the system combat firepower is fierce, can be used in the U.S. Navy fleet. The system combat firepower fierce, integrated command ship on a variety of weapons, while intercepting from the air, surface and underwater multiple targets, but also on the target threat automatic assessment, so as to prioritize the destruction of their own threat of the largest target; from the point of view of reliability, it can be in the case of no logistical support, in the sea continuously and reliably work for 40-60 days. The U.S. Army's "Aegis" combat system has been successfully developed since 1981, has equipped the U.S. with 27 "Ticonderoga"-class cruisers and the latest type of "Arleigh Burke " class destroyers. The Japanese Navy's new generation of "King Kong" class destroyers are also equipped with the "Aegis" combat system procured from the United States. As the "Aegis" combat system represents the world's most advanced naval science and technology level, its cost is naturally very high, each set of combat systems (excluding missiles) cost as much as 200 million U.S. dollars. Nevertheless, there are more and more countries have joined the ranks of manufacturing "Aegis" warships. These countries have both the old naval powerhouse Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, South Korea and so on. Taiwan authorities in order to strengthen its naval power, is trying every possible way from the United States to purchase "Aegis" system.
