SM-6
Model: RIM-174 ERAM
US Navy multi-role Standard Missile interceptor integrated with the Aegis combat system. SM-6 provides extended-range air defence and terminal ballistic missile defence and can engage aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic threats. The system uses active and semi-active radar guidance and a blast-fragmentation warhead. Detection range, reaction time, accuracy, reload and simultaneous-target values are simulation parameters.

Sources and interpretation
The description and simulation values come from the MISSILES platform catalog. Independent specification references and a factual review date have not yet been recorded for this profile. Image credits identify the image source only; they do not verify the simulation values.
