Virtual Strike Group Verifies New U.S. Navy Combat Capability in Complex Test

ATLANTIC OCEAN – The amphibious transport dock ship USS New York (LPD 21) fires its MK46 30mm gun during a live-fire exercise. Navy scientists and engineers evaluated a strike group’s Aegis combat system and gun weapon systems – including the 30 millimeter gun – as well as unmanned vehicles integrated with surface and air assets at the 2016 USS Dahlgren demonstration, Aug. 30. The test – made possible by a cybernetic laboratory called USS Dahlgren – proved engagement coordination across the simulated battlegroup and live fire destruction of multiple targets from two combatants utilizing two different gun based systems. “This has been five to six years in the making and couldn't come at a better time as we see real-world events such as the recent small boat incursions in the Middle East, highlighting the need for the Fleet,” said Capt. Brian Durant, NSWCDD commanding officer. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Cyrus Roson/Released)
