Today, destroyers, cruisers and littoral combat ships use variations of Lockheed\u2019s Aegis Combat System, something frigates and unmanned surface vessels will also use. Amphibious ships and aircraft carriers use a separate Ship Self-Defense System that was developed by Raytheon and is now managed by Lockheed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re really looking at how do we evolve \u2026 from our surface Navy combat systems into an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lockheedmartin.com\/en-us\/products\/integrated-combat-system.html\" target=\"_blank\">integrated combat system<\/a> that can be fielded across the board,\u201d DePietro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2023\/02\/08\/how-the-us-navy-is-creating-the-nirvana-of-one-combat-system\/\">previously told Defense News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5323\" height=\"3549\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7033716.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7033716.jpg.jpg 5323w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7033716.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7033716.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7033716.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7033716.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7033716.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5323px) 100vw, 5323px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fire Controlman (Aegis) 3rd Class Charles Dempsey notes environmental conditions affecting radar systems in the Combat Information Center as the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) conducts routine underway operations on Jan. 31, 2022.

To achieve this vision, the Navy is pursuing ICS hardware and software development programs \u2014 supplemented by a Forge effort for software development and experimentation and Foundry for hardware \u2014 aimed at supporting not only its fleet of surface ships but also Coast Guard vessels and foreign military sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Software Program designs, develops, and supports ICS software capabilities in support of mission execution for surface ships. The Hardware Program designs, procures, and supports the shipboard computing infrastructure, consoles, and peripherals for sailor interface with, and hosting of, the ICS software,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/sam.gov\/opp\/6a8a3fe99c484e19b13f2f47032c7270\/view\">according to a Navy notice<\/a> on the System for Award Management website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By decoupling the hardware and software, the Navy intends to be able to upgrade each on their own schedules, as new technology develops and budgets allow. New capabilities can be fielded and vulnerabilities patched by pushing software updates to the ships instead of bringing them to the pier for physical changes. Computer servers or consoles could be swapped in as commercial industry pushes the technology forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5360\" height=\"3560\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672624.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672624.jpg.jpg 5360w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672624.jpg.jpg?resize=300,199 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672624.jpg.jpg?resize=768,510 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672624.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,680 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672624.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1020 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/672624.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1360 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5360px) 100vw, 5360px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The guided-missile destroyer USS McCampbell (DDG 85) fires two Standard Missile 2 missiles from the ship&#8217;s aft missile deck during a missile exercise.

It\u2019s already \u201cvirtualized\u201d the Aegis system, allowing it to be run from a small-form computer package instead of requiring the massive hardware on a ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this effort, the virtualized Aegis system has been plugged onto unmanned surface vessels to launch missiles, has become the heart of the Army\u2019s ground-based Typhon mid-range capability for land and maritime defense, and has been used as a digital twin to test out new capabilities live on ships without disrupting their established combat systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rear Adm.
