Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IB Development
Abstract
This effort develops the SM-3 Block IB missile, which improves on the SM-3 Block IA performance and enables engagement of more sophisticated ballistic missiles and larger raid sizes. SM-3 Block IB Modernization will provide the following upgrades: - Upgraded SM-3 KW Common Avionics Package will provide improved producibility and reduced cost resulting from utilization of common components between SM-3 Block IIA and the Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV). SM-3 Block IB Common Components will be extendable to support different form/fit in circuit card assemblies across SM-3 Block IB, SM-3 Block IIA, and RKV and will mitigate SM-3 Block IB hardware availability issues. - Upgraded SM-3 Block IB Guidance Section (GS) will resolve Computer Processing Unit 3 and Plate 3A hardware availability issues, enable use of 5.1/IIA Target Object Map (TOM) and similar software to SM-3 Block IIA Mission Computer; and enable additional capability against complex threats.
