These Type 45s will be the most advanced air defence ships in the world. The main armament will be the sophisticated and lethal Principal Anti Air Missile System (PAAMS). The system is designed to defend against supersonic, stealthy, highly manoeuvrable missiles that could use sea-skimming or steep-diving flight profiles approaching in salvoes, simultaneously from several directions. PAAMS is capable of controlling several missiles in the air at any one time, each one of which could engage individual targets, preventing attackers from swamping the fleet’s air defences.
