RIM-66 Standard

The Standard missile program was started in 1963 to produce a family of missiles to replace existing guided missiles used by the Terrier, Talos, and Tartar guided missile systems. The intention was to produce a new generation of guided missiles that could be retrofitted to existing guided missile systems.

The RIM-66A is the medium ranged version of the Standard missile and was initially developed as a replacement for the earlier RIM-24C as part of the Mk74 "Tartar" Guided Missile Fire Control System. It used the same fuselage as the earlier Tartar missile, for easier use with existing launchers and magazines for that system. The RIM-66A/B while looking like the earlier RIM-24C on the exterior is a different missile internally with redesigned electronics and a more reliable homing system and fuze that make it more capable than its predecessor. The RIM-66A/B Standard MR, (SM-1MR Block I to V) was used during the Vietnam War. The only remaining version of the Standard missile 1 in service is the RIM-66E (SM-1MR Block VI). While no longer in service with the USN, the RIM-66E is still in service with many navies globally and was expected to remain in service until 2020.{{Cite web |title=RIM-66 Standard Missile MR |url=https://www.seaforces.org/wpnsys/SURFACE/RIM-66-Standard-Missile-MR.htm |access-date=2022-12-02 |website=www.seaforces.org}}

The RIM-66C/D Standard MR (SM-2MR Block I) was developed in the 1970s and was a key part of the Aegis combat system and New Threat Upgrade (NTU). The SM-2MR introduced inertial and command mid-course guidance. The missile's autopilot is programmed to fly the most efficient path to the target and can receive course corrections from the ground. Target illumination for semi-active homing is needed only for a few seconds in the terminal phase of the interception. This capability enables the Aegis combat system and New Threat Upgrade equipped vessels to time-share illumination radars, greatly increasing the number of targets that can be engaged in quick succession.

The SM-1 and SM-2 were continuously upgraded through Blocks.

In the middle 1980s, the SM-2MR was deployed via Mark 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) aboard {{USS|Bunker Hill|CG-52|6}}, the first U.S. Navy ship to deploy a vertical launcher. VLS has, since 2003, been the only launcher used for the Standard missile in the U.S. Navy aboard {{sclass|Ticonderoga|cruiser}}s and {{sclass|Arleigh Burke|destroyer}}s. They are now most commonly launched from the Mk 41 VLS, which is a modular design concept with different versions that vary in size and weight. There are three lengths for this VLS: {{convert|209|in|cm|abbr=on}} for the self-defense version, {{convert|266|in|cm|abbr=on}} for the tactical version, and {{convert|303|in|cm|abbr=on}} for the strike version. The empty weight for an 8-cell module is {{convert|26800|lb|abbr=on}} for the self-defense version, {{convert|29800|lb|abbr=on}} for the tactical version, and {{convert|32000|lb|abbr=on}} for the strike version.{{cite book |last=Friedman |first=Norman |title=The Naval Institute Guide to World Naval Weapon Systems |date=2006 |publisher=Naval Institute Press |edition=5th |location=Annapolis, MD |page=600}}

The Standard can also be used against ships, either at line-of-sight range using its semi-active homing mode, or over the horizon using inertial guidance and terminal infrared homing.Canadian Forces Maritime Command.

The SM-2 has conducted more than 2,700 successful live firings. In June 2017, Raytheon announced it was restarting the SM-2 production line to fulfill purchases made by the Netherlands, Japan, Australia, and South Korea. Production had been stopped in 2013 from a lack of international orders. New deliveries of SM-2 Block IIIA and IIIB missiles were scheduled to begin in 2020. The United States Navy is committed to keeping the Standard Missile 2 medium-range viable until 2035.Raytheon Press Release December 17, 2012.

Standard missiles were constructed by General Dynamics Pomona Division until 1992, when it became part of the Hughes Missile Systems Company. Hughes formed a joint venture with Raytheon called Standard Missile Company (SMCo). Hughes Missile Systems was eventually sold to Raytheon making it the sole contractor.[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/sm-specs.htm GlobalSecurity.org - Standard specs] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071121043133/http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/sm-specs.htm |date=2007-11-21 }} [http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-66.html Designation systems RIM-66] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190516014250/http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-66.html |date=2019-05-16 }}.

Due to the end of the US Navy's support of the SM-1 missile system, the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology has taken over support for the system in Taiwanese service including production of replacement rocket motors. The same approach was taken for the SM-1's Mark 13 missile launcher.{{cite web |last1=LUNDQUIST |first1=EDWARD |title=Neighborhood Problems in the Taiwan Strait |url=https://indsr.org.tw/en/News_detail/122/Neighborhood-Problems-in-the-Taiwan-Strait |website=indsr.org.tw |publisher=INDSR |access-date=5 December 2019 |archive-date=5 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191205195549/https://indsr.org.tw/en/News_detail/122/Neighborhood-Problems-in-the-Taiwan-Strait |url-status=dead }}

The Standard Missile One became operational in 1968. The missile was utilized by ships equipped with the Tartar Guided Missile Fire Control System. The missile saw its first combat use in the early 1970s in the Vietnam war.

The Standard Missile Two became operational in the late 1970s and was deployed operationally with the Aegis Combat System in 1983. Both Standard One and Two were used against both surface and air targets during Operation Praying Mantis.

On 19 October 2023, the USS Carney fired SM-2s to shoot down three land-attack cruise missiles and eight drones launched from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen. The interceptions occurred over the Red Sea; although the ship wasn't threatened, the missiles were headed north towards Israel following the start of the 2023 Israel-Hamas War.[https://news.usni.org/2023/10/19/u-s-destroyer-used-sm-2s-to-down-3-land-attack-missiles-launched-from-yemen-says-pentagon U.S. Destroyer Used SM-2s to Down 3 Land Attack Missiles Launched from Yemen, Says Pentagon]. USNI News. 19 October 2023. From October 2023 to January 2024, several U.S. Navy destroyers downed dozens of missiles and attack drones launched by the Houthis against ships transiting the Red Sea, primarily using SM-2s. Although the SM-2 effectively intercepted the threats, at a cost of roughly $2.4 million per missile, it is inefficient at shooting down drones, causing concerns about expending them against such cheap targets and depleting a ship's limited VLS capacity.{{cite web | last=Ziezulewicz | first=Geoff | title=What the Navy is learning from its fight in the Red Sea | website=Defense News | date=18 January 2024 | url=https://www.defensenews.com/news/your-navy/2024/01/18/what-the-navy-is-learning-from-its-fight-in-the-red-sea/ | access-date=29 February 2024}}

The Standard missile is designated by blocks depending upon their technological package.

The First Standard missiles entered service in the USN in 1967. Blocks I, II, and III were preliminary versions. Block IV was the production version. This missile was a replacement for the earlier RIM-24C Tartar missile.

The RIM-66B introduced changes that resulted in higher reliability. A new faster reacting autopilot, a more powerful dual thrust rocket motor, and a new warhead were added. Many RIM-66A missiles were re-manufactured into RIM-66B.

The RIM-66E was the last version of the standard missile one medium-range. This version entered service in 1983{{cite web|url=http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-66.html|title=Raytheon RIM-66 Standard MR|access-date=27 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120831044807/http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-66.html|archive-date=31 August 2012|url-status=live}} with the United States Navy and export customers. The RIM-66E was used by all remaining Tartar vessels that were not modified to use the New Threat Upgrade and {{sclass|Oliver Hazard Perry|frigate|1}}s which controlled it with the Mk92 fire control system. Production of this missile ended in 1987. The missile was retired from USN service in 2003; however there are a large number of this model in service abroad and it is expected to remain viable until 2020.USNI Combat Fleets 2005-2006, Wertheim, Eric; Editor, USN section Naval Institute Press 2005

The RIM-66C was the first version of the Standard missile two. The missile became operational in 1978 with the Aegis combat system fitted to the {{sclass|Ticonderoga|cruiser|1}}. The RIM-66D was the SM-2 medium-range block I version for the New Threat Upgrade. The SM-2 incorporates a new autopilot giving it inertial guidance in all phases of flight except for the terminal intercept where semi-active radar homing is still used. This version is no longer in service; remaining missiles have either been remanufactured into later models or have been put in storage.

The Block II missile was introduced in 1983 with a new rocket motor for longer range and a new warhead. The RIM-66G is for the Aegis combat system and the Mk26 missile launcher. The RIM-66H is for Aegis and the Mk41 vertical launcher. The RIM-66J is the version for the New Threat Upgrade. Block II missiles are no longer manufactured, and have been withdrawn from service. The remainder have either been put in storage, scrapped for spare parts, or remanufactured into later models.

The RIM-66M is the version of the Standard missile two medium-range (SM-2MR) currently in service with the USN aboard Ticonderoga-class cruisers and {{sclass|Arleigh Burke|destroyer|1}}s. The missile is specifically designed for the Aegis Combat System and the Mk41 Vertical launch system. The Block III missiles differ from earlier blocks by the addition of the MK 45 MOD 9 target detecting device, for improved performance against low altitude targets. The Block IIIB missile additionally has a dual semi-active/infrared seeker for terminal homing. The dual seeker is intended for use in high-ECM environments, against targets over the horizon or with a small radar cross section. The seeker was originally developed for the canceled AIM-7R Sparrow air-to-air missile. All USN Block III and IIIA missiles are to be upgraded to Block IIIB. Block IIIA missiles are operated by the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force on its {{sclass|Kongō|destroyer|0}} and {{sclass|Atago|destroyer|0}} Aegis destroyers. Aegis equipped vessels in the Spanish and South Korean navies use it as well. The Dutch and German Navies have added it to the Anti-Air Warfare system, which uses the Thales Group Active Phased Array Radar S-1850M and Smart-L radar. South Korean KDX-II destroyers use the block IIIA with a New Threat Upgrade compatible guided missile fire control system. Block III variants for Aegis and arm launchers are designated RIM-66L. Block III missiles for New Threat Upgrade systems are designated RIM-66K. Block IIIB missiles were not produced for the New Threat Upgrade. Blocks IIIA and IIIB are the current production versions. The Thales Nederland STIR 1.8 and 2.4 fire control systems are also supported.

The SM-2 Block IIIC is a modified version of the Block III/IIIA/IIIB missile that features a dual mode semi-active and active missile seeker based on the SM-6 Block I.{{cite web |title=Standard Missile 2 (SM-2) Block IIIC and Block IIICU |url=https://www.dote.osd.mil/Portals/97/pub/reports/FY2023/navy/2023sm-2.pdf |website=Director, Operational Test and Evaluation |publisher=Office of the Secretary of Defense |access-date=28 December 2024 |date=29 January 2024}} Additionally, the missile has a new dorsal fin design and a thrust vectoring jet tab assembly to control trajectory as the missile egresses the launcher.{{cite web |title=Standard Missile 2 (SM-2) Block IIIC |url=https://www.dote.osd.mil/Portals/97/pub/reports/FY2022/navy/2022sm-2.pdf |website=Director, Operational Test and Evaluation |publisher=Office of the Secretary of Defense |access-date=27 December 2024 |date=20 January 2023}} In 2018, the U.S. Navy awarded Raytheon Missile Systems a $149.4 million contract for engineering, manufacturing, and development of the Block IIIC.{{cite press release |title=Contracts For Dec. 14, 2018 |url=https://www.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/1714535/ |website=US Department of Defense |access-date=28 December 2024}} In July 2021, the U.S. Navy awarded Raytheon Missile Systems a $45 million contract for the low-rate initial production of the Block IIIC.{{cite press release |title=Contracts For July 7, 2021 |url=https://www.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/2684977/ |website=US Department of Defense |access-date=28 December 2024}} In July 2022, the U.S. Navy fired Block IIIC missiles against four targets during testing on {{USS|Frank E.
