美国海军在电子设备方面也象在武备上那样正处于不断更新的时期,它发现自己面临来自老对手苏联以及第三世界国家海军越来越先进的尖端装备的威胁。然而,任何广泛更换已有装备的计划都是很费钱的,因为要购置大量的雷达。因此,虽然已经研制了几种相当先进的系统,但舰队将继续使用现有的绝大部分雷达。的确,一些最有意义的改进不是更换个别系统,而是更充分地发掘已有系统的潜力。同 The United States Navy, on the electrical equipment side, is still in a period of renewal, as it did on military equipment, finding itself threatened by the increasing sophistication of the navy from the old rival, the Soviet Union, and the Third World. However, any plan to extensively replace existing equipment is costly because of the large amount of radar purchased. Therefore, while several well-developed systems have been developed, the fleet will continue to use most of the existing radars. Indeed, some of the most significant improvements are not the replacement of individual systems but the fuller exploration of the potential of existing systems. with
