Barely. Doesnt Type 45 have a similiar setup, where the air search radar is lower than the main mast? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_45_destroyer |

The Type 45's long-range air search set is indeed lower than and masked by the mast. However, the SAMPSON radar on the top of the mast is a thoroughly capable medium-range search set in its own right. There is no direct US equivalent, but it's probably not far off from SPY-1F. Certainly there is no blind arc from a ship defense point of view. |

The APAR & SMART-L setups also have the main mast blocking part of the arc of the SMART-L set. And yet no one seems to think it's a great hindrance. |

Yes, but similarly, APAR has substantial intrinsic air search capability. This FFG, as shown right now, lacks that. |

My primary concern here is that is for ASM defense, both for itself and as an escort for HVUs which as I understood the concept was a primary mission area. So with that in mind it doesn't have to be able to do a volume search out to 200nm, but it should be able to track ASM threats from the horizon in and be able to fire at them somehow (there is not time to turn the ship). |

I completely agree with you. |
