US Navy receives first ICS-enabled Aegis baseline BL9.C3.0

Lockheed Martin delivered the first Integrated Combat System (ICS)-enabled Aegis baseline (BL9.C3.0), introducing a re-architected display component and Tactical PaaS to support containerized software. The key innovation is a shift to a standardized, fleetwide combat-system baseline with a six-month update/certification cadence, enabling faster, scalable rollout of new sensors, effectors, and software across surface combatants.
