Description

On September 3, 2004, the US Navy awarded a $440 million System Development and Demonstration (SDD) contract to Raytheon for the Standard Missile 6 (SM-6) Extended Range Active Missile (ERAM). These funds will expire by December 2011. The Standard SM-2 Block IV will provide the airframe for the SM-6 program and the AIM-120 AMRAAM the active radar guidance system. Its final seeker and guidance technology will benefit from the full spectrum of Raytheon's weapons already in service. The low cost, affordable Standard Missile SM-6 will be capable of defeating over-the-horizon fixed and rotary wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and land attack, ant-ship missiles in flight, both over sea and land. The Extended Range Anti-Air Warfare (ER-AAW) missile will evolve to meet future mission requirements. The SM-6 program is valued at $5.9 billion (June 2005 estimate) and includes production of up to 1,200 missiles for the US Navy. The SM-6 missile achieved its initial operational capability (IOC) following its first deployment on December 2, 2013.
