Description:
The RIM-66/67 Standard missile were developed as the replacement for Terrier, Talos and Tartar surface-to-air missiles. It is an all-weather, supersonic, ship-launched, medium to long-range fleet air defense missile providing defense for an entire fleet area. There are 4 major types of Standard missiles: the SM-1, SM-2, SM-3 and SM-4. The SM-1 and SM-2 are air defense missiles, the SM-3 is intended exclusively against medium/long-range ballistic missiles and the SM-4 is a land attack missile.
The baseline Standard, the SM-1 model, was a semi-active radar guided missile while late models incorporate advanced signals processing, GPS, IR-guidance system as well as other refinements.
The Standard missile is operational in frigates, destroyers and cruisers of 14 navies all over the world.
The First Standard missile was deployed by the US Navy in 1970.
The Standard SM-2 Block IIIA is a Block III follow-on capable of lower flying targets engagements. It features a new optimized warhead.
