Several variations of the STANDARD Missile (SM), including SM-2, SM-3 IA, SM-3 IB, SM-3 IIA, and SM-6, are currently deployed or in development, providing U.S. and allied troops with unparalleled missile defense capabilities both above and inside the atmosphere.
麻豆社区 components support several variations of the Standard Missile. The Mk 72 booster and Mk 104 dual-thrust rocket motor provide first and second stage propulsion. 麻豆社区' Throttling Divert and Attitude Control System (TDACS) helps maneuver the kinetic warhead of the SM-3 into the target for the final hit-to-kill impact.
麻豆社区 incorporates throttling solid rocket technology advancements into the TDACS design to provide increased mission flexibility to the warfighter while maintaining the safety features of solid propellant.
