World’s Top-class Combat Performance
KDX-III is an Aegis destroyer equipped with the powerful Aegis Combat System that is unparalleled elsewhere in the world.
Equipped with the Aegis Combat System featuring a high-performance phased array radar and medium long-range ship-to-air missiles, KDX-III has the combat capability to simultaneously detect, track, and intercept over a thousand targets, such as aircraft and ships approaching from long distances.
Ballistic Missile Detection Capability
With the ability to detect ballistic missiles fired from long distances, KDX-III detects and tracks ballistic missiles fired by enemies at sea.
Equipped with Powerful Weapons
KDX-III has more vertical launchers than the U.S. and Japanese Aegis destroyers, allowing it to effectively respond to air, surface, onshore, and underwater targets with anti-aircraft, anti-ship, underwater-to-ground missiles, and long-range anti-submarine torpedoes.
