Standard Missile-2 BLK IIIC
Abstract
The SM-2 Block IIIC Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) program (previously known as accelerated acquisition program) delivered Initial Capability in 1Q FY 2023. The funding allows for the SM-2 Block IIIC program to transition to a SM-2 Block IIICU program with the integration of a new electronics unit required to address obsolescence. This upgrade is necessary to continue procurement of the SM-2 Block IIIC capability and is being conducted in coordination with the international community via FMS cases. The SM-2 Block IIIC/IIICU is the primary AAW weapon for DDG's and the FFG 62 class of ships which are not planning to include missile illuminators required for legacy semi-active missiles.
