Standard Missile 6 Program

Abstract

This program leverages existing missile technology and advanced missile technology. It aligns missile technology roadmaps across the Services (NAVSEA, NAVAIR, USAF, USMC and USA) and missile variants within the Services, taking advantage of the Navy's investment in the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS), CEC, and airborne early warning systems. This missile will provide an extended range engagement capability to provide the air superiority and the umbrella of protection for joint U.S. forces and allies against the full spectrum of manned-fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and land attack and anti-ship cruise missiles in flight, thereby contributing to the continuous protection of forward deployed ground maneuver forces as well as theater rear assets as discussed in the Joint TAMD MNS, DPG, QDR, TAMD Capstone Requirements Document, Forward From the Sea, Joint Vision 2010/2020, the 2002/2003 Naval Transformational Roadmap and the Operational Requirements Document for SM-6 BLK 1. This project addresses the Navy's requirement for an extended range area air defense missile with engage-on-remote and over-the-horizon capability as the enabler for USN and Joint integrated fire control. The SM-6 BLK 1 is the Navy's transformational enabler for the Sea Shield Operational Concept and enables the opportunity for Sea Basing and Sea Strike. This effort includes risk reduction, System Development and Demonstration (SD&D) design, insensitive munitions improvement, transition to production and operational test of the latest STANDARD Missile with the kinematic performance to defeat current and projected threats that possess low altitude, high altitude, and high velocity and maneuver characteristics at the max kinematic range of the missile. SM-6 is currently executing the DT/OT flight test phase of the SD&D effort. The Joint Integrated Fire Enhancement funding is JROC directed for the demonstration of the Joint Land Attack Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS) into the Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA) kill chain; specifically, SM-6 integration with the JLENS and the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS). The funding identified in this budget is part of an integrated funding package that also includes funding for PEO IWS 1.0, PEO IWS 6.0, PEO IWS 7.0 and the Army's Cruise Missile Defense Systems JLENS Product Office. Additional funding is to support the integration, test, and analysis of the NIFC-CA test and evaluation strategy. Funds are also included for the transition of technology associated with the Missile Defense/Sea Shield Naval Interceptor Improvements (NII) Future Naval Capability (FNC) as formally signed in the NII Technology Transition Agreement (TTA) by PEO IWS 3, OPNAV N86, and the Office of Naval Research (PMR-51).
