Type 45 Destroyers - Is PAAMS working yet?

The Type 45s are awfully big and expensive ships to be built around just one major weapon system (PAAMS/Sea Viper) - but for the longest time even that one system was non-functional on at least the first ships in the class.

So where is the weapon system as of right now - is it fully operational?

    The systems are in use, but might not be operational. The first successful hit of a drone was in Sept. 2010, two years after various other failures.
