Yeah, it's a missile defence system used by the USN, and also a Greek mythological shield ( I think?)

Origanly Aegis was a Greek hero who was sent on mission by the Greek gods to get a mythic sheild to kill some evil thing (my Greek mythology is rusty). The next major useage of the name was Project Aegis in WWII. Cann't remember what that was all about though.
Intresting about that style. I haven't heard of a martial arts college before though.
