The U.S. Navy conducted the second test of Raytheon Company's Standard Missile-6 extended range anti-air warfare missile Sept. 5. The newly developed active seeker, employing the U.S. Navy's legacy command system, autonomously acquired and engaged the target. Today's test demonstrated this capability at low altitudes.

"The SM-6 program continues to move forward on budget and on schedule," said Kirk Johnson, Naval Sea Systems Command Standard Missile program manager. "Combining the legacy SM-2 Block IV capability with the AMRAAM's active seeker is a true accomplishment."
