Standard Missile Improvements

Abstract

Standard Missile (SM) is the Navy's premier Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) missile, providing both area air defense for the fleet and self defense for individual AEGIS CGs and DDGs, as required by the Joint Theater Air Missile Defense (TAMD), Mission Need Statement (MNS), Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), and Ship Class AAW Self Defense Capstone Requirements Document. Agility, fuzing, and computer modifications to SM are in development to restore performance in the near term against a specific existing proliferating Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) threat. Continuous analysis of missile capabilities vs. ever-evolving and proliferating aircraft and ASCM threats and long-range planning are required to keep pace with the threat. In FY04, the Standard Missile 6 (SM-6) program was started to develop an advanced surface missile system with an active seeker and an extended range. The SM-6 missile system will leverage the Navy investment in the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS), Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), and airborne early warning systems, which will be upgraded in concert with missile development to support a fully integrated extended range detect-to-engage naval and joint integrated fire control capability. SM-6 is the enabler for Integrated Fire Control (IFC). Funding to support those upgrades are also included in this line. SM-6 has completed the ground based and at-sea DT flight test phase of the System Development & Demonstration (SDD) effort. SDD at-sea OT phase completed July 2011. Together, this family of systems will provide the air superiority and the umbrella of protection against the full spectrum of projected future cruise missile (anti-ship and land attack) and manned aircraft threats discussed in the Joint TAMD MNS, DPG, QDR, IAMD Roadmap, IAMD Joint Integrating Concept, AIAMD Joint Operating Concept and TAMD Capstone Requirements Document.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Program funding increased in FY14 and FY15 to execute and support demonstration(s). Program funding increased in FY 12 to complete supplemental testing to verify correction of deficiencies for the F & J antenna seen during FY 11 operational testing. This funding is also to complete the Ballistic Barrier program.
