<r> I´ve realized that anti-torpedo torpedoes have a base PH of 0% against several types of torpedoes (I check it out against USET-80K, 65-76 Kit and UGST). The system detects the inbound torpedo and launch the interceptor, but it simple misses again and again.<br/>

Again, my point is that the wiki article says 450 to 1000 km at the same time it says 175 nm. Please don't denigrate wiki when you put flash cards and a program's table range as sources. Wki has issues, but is a better source than those.<e ...

<t> The problem with the SPY-1 range is that the most credible sources constantly refers to a figure that dates back to the late 80s (even quoted in the first part of the Korean article: 175 nm max range, and 45 nm against sea-skimmers). <br/>

But later on, in that same article, they are ...

Again, that is Aegis, not just SPY-1. There are multiple radars on most of the platforms at that time. The 48 does have the longer range as a more traditional mechanical scan radar.

You´re right, the Tico would detect the 747... but not with her SPY-1 radar, that´s my point. And I´m talking specifically about ships equipped only with the SPY-1 (as ...

<t> I´m talking about detection range. The guy that told me first about the 256 nm range said especifically that the SPY-1D can detect planes at that distance. Of course, the smaller the target, the shorter the range... not to mention low flying targets that take advantage of the Earth curvature ...

<t> Of course, the increase in radiation power doesn´t mean that the range gets increased automatically, but it wouldn´t be that surprising. I´m just trying to make sense of the 175 nm range mentioned on sources back in the 80s.<br/>
<br/>
Regarding the location of the phased arrays on the ships ...

<r> I think that SPY-1D´s range, and probably SPY-1B too, could be 256 nm instead of the 175 nm stated on the DB. Several sources mention it, although only this one appears to have a degree of credibility: <URL url="http://www.defensa.com/espana/defensa-aerea-de-espana-prueba"><LINK_TEXT text="http ...

I´ll do it... I think it´s worth a look. But my case is weak: my main source can´t be proved beyond doubt, and the PDF is speculation on my part.

<r> And what is the "nm" right behind the "256"? It seems like "nautical miles" to me... but I could be wrong, of course.<br/>
<br/>
On the other hand, the Spanish online source that I found clearly states that the range is 475 km. Exactly 256 nm. Exactly the same figure that I was told years ago ...

<r> I´ve checked the 1989 edition of The Naval Institute Guide to World Naval Weapons Systems and it also states the max range as "reportedly" 175 nm. Maybe this was the figure for an early SPY-1A -my source told me about a SPY-1D(V)- and things have changed since. Or maybe the official downgraded ...

<r> I have another question about the AEGIS combat system, in particular regarding with the range of the SPY-1. In the game it is stated as 175 nm, but I was told by a very reliable source that the real figure is 256 nm. Also, I have found the same data in some online sources (not-so-reliable, to be ...
