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 Weapons System (AWS) and Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC). 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. This missile contributes to the continuous protection of forward deployed ground maneuver forces as well as theater rear assets supporting mission requirements discussed in the National Security Strategy (NSS), Secretary of Defense National Defense Strategy (NDS), Chairman of the Joint Chiefs' National Military Strategy (NMS), Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO), Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Initial Capability Document (ICD), the JROC IAMD Joint Integrating Concept (JIC), JROC IAMD Operational Concept; the Theater and Air Missile Defense ICD (TAMD MDA-ICD), the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joint IAMD Vision 2020/2030 and the Joint Publication 3-01 Countering Air and Missile Threats; the Navy's Integrated Fire Control Naval Integrating Capability Concept (NIFC-NICC), the JROC Operational Requirements Document (ORD) for SM-6 BLK 1, and the JROC SM-6 Capability Production Document. SM-6 portion of Joint and Naval Integrated Fire Control (NIFC) is to support the integration, land-based and at-sea test, and analysis in support of the NIFC-CA test and evaluation strategy. NIFC-CA Increment 1 was successfully executed between 2009 and 2015. NIFC-CA Increment 2 commenced in FY 16 and will be tested in FY20 through FY24. It integrates sensor improvements, SM-6 BLK IA, CEC and AWS AEGIS Advanced Capability Build (ACB) 16 into an advanced from the sea (FTS) Kill chain. Efforts include support for the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) upgrade, Trackex events, Integration Events and Live Fire test at land based and at-sea tests. Flight testing will continue as future Aegis builds continue to be deployed with NIFC-CA capability. SM-6 System Engineering and Flight Test (SEFT) supports the development of the guidance section software configuration. This includes the research, development, test and evaluation necessary to incorporate the software in production missiles. SM-6 BLK IA funding for AEGIS integration will verify compatibility with the latest Aegis Baseline ACB-16 and future Aegis builds that will use the full performance of the advanced missile. Supports modifications to the SM-6 and SM-2 Active Missile Variants Flight Instrumentation Kits to C-band and the Enhanced Flight Termination System upgrade. SEFT project directly supports the now completed Future Capabilities Demonstration (FCD) project high priority mission requirements requested by Combatant Commanders by improving the SM-6 Missile's capability. The project is continuing analyses and trade studies required for future enhancements and expansion of the mission capabilities for the SM-6 Blk IA missile, and perform the necessary missile software development to support mission capability improvement. FCD was formerly its own project and has been incorporated into SEFT in FY 2023. STANDARD Missile 6 Electronics Unit funding is for the design, systems engineering, analysis, integration, and test of replacements for obsolete components. This effort is jointly funded with the Missile Defense Agency for a shared approach to obsolescence and improved capability in defense of the sea base. Initial funding provided for the requirements generation, risk reduction/mitigation, and establishment of development facilities necessary for the commencement of the obsolescence project. The Missile Defense Agency was the contracting office for the risk reduction/mitigation and establishment of development facilities which completed in FY20 . The USN development effort began in FY21, continues through FY24 and remains a jointly funded effort with the Missile Defense Agency. This effort will deliver a SM-6 BLK IAU Engineering Change Proposal in Q3FY24 to continue production of SM-6 BKL IA Missiles with the Ultra Electronics Unit.
