Standard Missile Improvements

Abstract

STANDARD Missile (SM) is Navy's premier Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) missile, providing both area 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. SM-6 provides an air defense force multiplier to the U.S. Navy to greatly expand the AWS battlespace. Combining a modified AMRAAM active seeker onto the proven STANDARD Missile airframe, SM-6 provides an extended range anti-air warfare capability both over sea and overland. This low-risk approach relying on non-developmental items supported an FY 2011 Initial Operating Capability. With integrated fire control support, SM-6 provides the Navy with an increased battlespace against Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) threats over-the-horizon.
