The two radar systems feed into the AEGIS battle management system]] computers. The sensor data can be made available to other platforms via the Cooperative Engagement Capability]] to ships equipped with CEC, and to a wider range of recipients through the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System]] (JTIDS). In the picture, it is the mechanically scanned antenna on the right of the center mast, below the radome]] of the SPS-64|AN-SPS-64 navigational radar]]. It operates in the IEEE frequency bands|IEEE L-band]]/NATO C-band, and is mounted higher than the SPY-1|AN/SPY-1]] to give it a longer horizon. L-band has longer range than that S-band used by the three-dimensional AN/SPY-1. The radar has a peak power of 360 kilowatts, and extensive electronic warfare|electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM)]] capabilities including frequency agility]], variable pulse repetition frequency]] and sidelobe cancellation]].
