Aegis

Aegis ships (sometimes referred to as Aegis-class cruisers) are a special type of battle cruiser exclusively named in Ace Combat games. Battle cruisers typically feature a number of powerful weapons already, but Aegis-class cruisers combine these weapons into one sophisticated computer system, allowing for advanced radar tracking for weapons fire.

More recently, Aegis-class cruisers have also featured integrated CIWS systems for protection against incoming fire. Destroying these requires a volley of attacks from various sources to overwhelm the onboard Aegis computer.
