AEGIS Missile Launcher
From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
The AEGIS missile launch system is an anti-aircraft missile launcher mounted on the AEGIS-class ships of the United Continents Of America. It spreads a salvo of homing missiles into the area it faces to bring down aircraft in large numbers and can intercept incoming cruise missiles and even tactical missiles or shells. However, the explosive load of the missiles is kept low to allow high speeds, and thus, they are not sufficient for seriously damaging ground units, yet their firepower is enough to down mostaircraft.
