Our organic defense capabilities are characterized by an inner layer and mid layer:

•The mid defense layer is composed of:
•   the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile with a range of 50+nm
•   and the SSM (surface and land variants) with a range of 80+nm

•The inner defense layer is composed of:
•The Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile with a minimum range of 1.5nm
•the Millenium Gun with a max range of 3.5nm
•The Anti-submarine rocket with a max range of 5nm

It should be noted here that all missiles are VLS compatible.

Threats that extend past the mid layer will be targeted first by assets interoperable with Cooperative Engagement Capability
