Our Contribution
Enabling Rapid Planning and Fleet Defense Operations
The beginning of Red Sea hostilities in late 2023 marked the most persistent air and missile threat environment faced by U.S. naval forces in recent history. APL leveraged decades of experience in the technology and system development associated with naval air and missile defense and delivered a rapid, high-impact technical solution that proved vital to U.S. naval forces during sustained combat operations in the Red Sea. The Real World Cell provided around-the-clock support to deployed Aegis platforms, delivering tailored mission packages, post-event analyses, and technical guidance that directly shaped fleet operations and theater-level decisions. APL engineers provide the Navy with assessment, analysis, and recommendations for operational ship actions in the region, helping to combat the evolving threats.
