190926-N-AW818-493 NAVAL SUPPORT FACILITY REDZIKOWO, Poland (Sept. 24, 2019) The Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System (AAMDS) site in Poland is nearing the final phases of construction at Naval Support Facility (NSF) Redzikowo, the Navy’s newest installation. Aegis Ashore uses a defensive system almost identical to that used on U.S. Navy Aegis-capable guided-missile destroyers and cruisers at sea. The system is designed to detect, track, engage and destroy ballistic missiles in flight. The complex at Redzikowo will consist of a fire-control radar “deckhouse” (pictured) with an associated Aegis command, control and communications suite. Separately, it will house several launch modules containing Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) interceptors. (U.S. Navy photo by Lt. Amy Forsythe/Released)
