Working in partnership with our customers, BAE Systems has some of the most advanced systems integration skills in the world.
The Type 45 Destroyer programme will equip the Royal Navy with the most advanced warship in the world to date.
Each Type 45 will be fitted with a PAAMS missile system and Sampson radar, which are tested at the MISC facility in Portsmouth before being fitted onboard.
Type 45's radar can track multiple incoming threats simultaneously, prioritise them, assign countermeasures and deploy them to targets. It can even track a target the size of a cricket ball approaching at three times the speed of sound.
