Aegis Testing

[Zed_Noir]

Among other things, Aegis 5.1 allows "engagement on remote" - meaning a ship can engage a target using data from another ship, without using its own radar.

FYI, the tracking radar from another ship that is sending the tracking data is commonly known as a battlefield management radar with application mostly for anti-ballistic warfare.

Note that the report does not confirm that the missiles actually intercepted their targets, only that they were fired "to intercept" them.
