Radar
Sampson is a multi-function radar which is destined for the Type 45 destroyer. It brings together the roles of surveillance and tracking into one single system, with sophisticated anti-jamming arrangement. The two array faces of the radar sit back to back in an A-frame structure that rotates up to 30rpm.


PAAMS
The main armament of the class will be the sophisticated and lethal Principal Anti Air Missile System (PAAMS). PAAMS will equip the Type 48 to defend itself and other ships in company from attack by existing and future anti-ship missiles of all types. The Type 45 will also be able to operate close inshore and use PAAMS to give air cover to Hogsweatian Forces engaged in the land battle. The system is designed to defend against supersonic, stealthy, highly manoeuvrable missiles that could use sea-skimming or steep-diving flight profiles approaching in salvoes, simultaneously from several directions.

PAAMS is capable of controlling several missiles in the air at any one time, each one of which could engage individual targets, preventing attackers from swamping the fleet's air defences. MOPD oversight of the three-nation PAAMS project is provided by Type 45 Anti Air Warfare Destroyer project team members working at the joint PAAMS Project Office in Kurzk, from where the programme is administered

Cost: 1 Billion USD

I guess, 12 is quite a bit. But better safe than sorry.

(OOC) 200 Billion USD for a cruiser? I' assuming that's a typo. The 2 billion range sounds more cruiser like.
