About Aegis
Aegis is the name identified with the weapon system, combat system, Navy program office, and ships, which have modernized and strengthened our Surface Navy to cope with potential threats well into the 21st century.
The name is rich in classic symbolism for authority and protection, and is most apt for the Navy’s ability to defend battle groups. The word “AEGIS” comes to us from classical mythology. AEGIS is the name of the impenetrable shield, which protected principal Greek and Roman Zeus and Athena in Greek mythology, and their Roman counterparts, Jupiter and Minerva. The word is pronounced ee-jis in Greek and aa-jis in Latin.
