Lockheed Martin today marked the completion of factory acceptance testing for the fifth, and final, SPY-1F Aegis Weapon System for the Royal Norwegian Navy with a "pull-the-plug" ceremony at its Moorestown facility.
The ceremony declared the Aegis Weapon System ready for shipboard installation and celebrated de-energizing the system - "pulling the plug" - in its test environment in preparation for delivery to Navantia's Ferrol, Spain, shipyard.
