is intended to project power and
contribute to raid annihilation by
destroying manned fixed and rotary
wing aircraft, Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAV), Land Attack Cruise
Missiles, and Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles

need for a vertically launched, extended
range missile compatible with the
AEGIS Weapon System to be used
against extended range threats at sea,
near land, and overland. The SM–6
combines the tested legacy of Standard
Missile 2 (SM–2) propulsion and
ordnance with an active radio frequency
seeker allowing for over-the-horizon
engagements, enhanced capability at
extended ranges, and increased
firepower.
