Lockheed Martin (LMT) is developing an Aegis Baseline 9.C2 (BMD 5.1) variant computer program, referred to as J7, for the deployment on Japan's Aegis destroyers.
At MADEX 2019, Lockheed Martin reported that the new ships will get Aegis Baseline 9.C2 with software variant "KII" and BMD baseline 5, which allows the use of SM-3 Block IB. The multifunction radar remains AN/SPY-1D(V). LIG Nex1's SPS-560K 3D radar will be used to guide K-SAAM. [20]

The Ticonderoga class was originally ordered as guided-missile destroyers, with the designation DDG-47. Under Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo Zumwalt's "high-low mix", the Ticonderogas were intended to be lower-cost platforms for the new Aegis Combat System by mounting the system on a hull based on that of the Spruance-class destroyer.
Barry completed midlife modernization prior to making the switch and was outfitted with Aegis Baseline 9, the latest combat system, which is capable of defensive and offensive operations against aircraft, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, surface ships, submarines and shore targets.
