Arleigh Burke class (USA)
Radars:
SPY-1D 4 face S-Band PESA for detection and tracking.
3 SPG-62 for illumination of passive missiles.
Missiles:
ESSM - 50 km (passive homing)
SM-2MR - 165 km (passive)
SM-2ER - 240 km (passive)
SM-3 - anti ballistic missile (active)
SM-6 - 240-370 km (active)
Pros:
- Extremely long range (with SM-2ER and SM-6)
- Excellent anti ballistic missile capabilities (with SM-3 USA, Japan)
- 4 face PESA radar provides instant picture update
- Recent active homing missile introduction
Cons:
- Low radar elevation against skimming missiles (~24-25 km detention range)
- Only 3 simultaneously attacked targets for passive missiles
- Very expensive
Similar layout:
1) Kongo and Atago classes (Japan)
2) King Sejong the Great class (South Korea)
3) Alvaro de Bazan class (Spain)
4) Hobart class (Australia)
Type 45 class (UK)
Radars:
SAMPSON rotating (2 face at 30 rpm) multifunctional AESA
SMART-L long detection
Missiles:
Aster-15 - 30 km range (active homing)
Aster-30 - 120 km range (active)
Pros:
- Very high radar elevation against skimming missiles (~32 km range)
- Active homing missiles (unlimited number of simultaneous attacks, over horizon capability with external targeting)
Cons:
- Medium range
- Radar rotation is not good for fast skimming targets
Similar layout:
Horizon class (France and Italy)
Sachsen class (Germany)
Radars:
APAR 4 face multifunctional AESA for detection tracking and illumination
SMART-L long range detection
Missiles:
ESSM - 50 km (passive homing)
SM-2MR - 165 km range (passive, range limited by APAR illumination by less than 150 km)
Pros:
- Good elevation against skimming missiles (~29 km range)
- 4 face multifunctional AESA provides instant picture update and illumination vs. large number of targets simultaneously
Cons:
- Medium range
- Passive missiles
Similar layout:
De Zeven Provincien class (Netherlands)
Iver Huitfeldt class (Denmark)
Kolkata class (India)
Radars:
MF-STAR 4 face multifunctional AESA
Thales LW08 long range detection
Missiles:
Barak-LR - 70 km (active homing)
Barak-ER - 150 km (active)
Pros:
- Good elevation against skimming missiles (~29 km range)
- 4 face multifunctional AESA provides instant picture update
- Active homing missiles (unlimited number of simultaneous attacks, over horizon capability with external targeting)
Cons:
- Medium range
- Limited anti ballistic missile capability (LW08 lacks ABM mode)
