Standard Missile - 6 (SM-6)

Standard Missile-6 (SM-6), also known as the Extended Range Active Missile (ERAM), meets the Navy’s requirement for an extended range anti-air warfare (ER-AAW) missile. The initial program will provided legacy SM-2 Block IV capability against fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), and land-attack anti-ship cruise missiles in flight, both over sea and land. With Integrated Fire Control (IFC), SM-6 provides the surface Navy with an increased battlespace against over-the-horizon AAW threats, taking full advantage of the kinematics available to Standard Missile.

As a key member of the SM-6 analysis team, SSTi performs event planning, Modeling and Simulation (M&S), data analysis, and acts as the Aegis System Engineering shipboard observer for the following SM-6 test events:

Missile Simulator Unit (MSU) interface testing with the Aegis Weapon System (AWS)
Waterfront Integration Test (WIT)
Development Test/Operational Test (DT/OT) LBTS testing, mission analysis, and reporting
Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) LBTS testing, mission analysis, and reporting
WIT, Post Availability Update (PAU) and Combat System Ship Qualification Trial (CSSQT)
Test support during SM-6 testing at the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), NM

SSTi conceived and developed the Missile Analysis Test Suite (MATS) & Missile Analysis Suite (MAS)© of analysis tools to aid assessment of the AWS to SM-6 uplink and downlink communications. SSTi developed the MAS Missile Data Analysis Report (MDAR) module to assess the performance of the SM-6 RF communications link.
