Raytheon Missile Systems
Standard Missile Family
Standard Missile is the world’s choice for air defense and theater ballistic missile defense. For 50 years, Standard Missile technology has evolved to keep pace with threats and grow into new missions. Standard was developed as a replacement for the Terrier, Talos and Tartar surface-to-air missiles.
SM-1 entered production in 1967 and remains in operation with many international navies. Raytheon has assumed support of SM-1 and is leading a team of companies to provide users around the globe with access to spares and repair services.
SM-2's primary role is to provide area defense against enemy aircraft and anti-ship cruise missiles. SM-2 is deployed in several configurations, ranging from SM-2 Block IIIA to SM-2 Block IV Extended Range.
SM-3 is being developed as part of the Missile Defense Agency's sea-based Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System. The missiles will be deployed on Aegis cruisers and destroyers to defend against short- to intermediate-range ballistic missile threats in the midcourse phase of flight. Raytheon also is developing the Kinetic Warhead for SM-3.
Standard Missile-6 (SM-6), also known as the Extended Range Active Missile, is being developed to meet the Navy’s requirement for an extended range anti-air warfare (ER-AAW) missile. The initial program will provide capability against fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and land-attack anti-ship cruise missiles in flight, both over sea and land. With a future integrated fire control, SM-6 will provide the surface Navy with an increased battlespace against over-the-horizon AAW threats, taking full advantage of the kinematics available to Standard Missile. SM-6 will employ the SM-2 Block IV airframe and proven seeker and guidance technology from across the company’s product lines.
