It's an awesome anti-air weapon. It takes 13 people on a T42 to launch a bird. Imagine how long that takes. PAAMS can take out any target automatically. One shot one kill. The SA that the T45 provides is light years ahead of anything we have now, even an Arleigh Burke with AEGIS. Its at least one generation ahead of anything Uncle Sam has. The RN is looking forward to taking one down to south Atlantic. Anything that leaves the ground in Argentina is a victim in waiting.
