Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IB Development
Abstract
This effort modernizes 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 Threat Upgrade/Tech Refresh (previously IB Modernization) will provide the following: - Refreshed SM-3 KW Common Avionics Package will provide improved producibility and utilization of common components between the SM-3 Block IIA. SM-3 Block IB common components will be extendable to support different form/fit in circuit card assemblies across SM-3 Block IB and SM-3 Block IIA and will mitigate SM-3 Block IB hardware availability issues. Includes Back-fit of IIA Guidance Electronics Unit (GEU) Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) into IB - Refreshed SM-3 Block IB Guidance Section with the integration of Digital Data Link replacement of Plate 3A will resolve Plate 3A hardware availability issues Recurring Accomplishments: - Assess performance with weapons systems upgrades/modifications and against emerging threats Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
