نظرة عامة على النظام
The RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) Block 2 is Denmark's primary point defense anti-air missile, quad-packed into Mk 41 VLS cells on Iver Huitfeldt-class frigates. Block 2 adds an active radar seeker for terminal guidance and improved kinematics. Denmark is a founding member of the NATO ESSM consortium and uses it as its primary short-to-medium range anti-air weapon.

Endurance figures for sustained blue-water operations are solid, though replenishment cycles still constrain operational planning.
