SM-6
is a surface-to-air supersonic missile capable of successfully engaging
manned and unmanned aerial vehicles and fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.
It also defends against land-attack and anti-ship cruise missiles in
flight.
The SM-6 deployed for the first time in 2013, and Raytheon has delivered
more than 160 missiles. The missile's final assembly takes place at
Raytheon's state-of-the-art SM-6 and SM-3 all-up-round production facility
at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala.
SM-2 is the world's premier fleet-area air defense weapon, providing
increased intercept range, high- and low-intercept capability, and performance
against advanced and anti-ship missile threats. Its primary mission
is fleet-area air defense and ship self-defense, but it has also demonstrated
an extended-area air defense protection capability.
