Raytheon’s interceptors identify, track and defeat threats as part of a layered missile‑defence architecture, using some of the world’s most advanced missile technologies.
They are designed to counter a wide spectrum of threats, from sophisticated ballistic missiles to crude rockets and mortars.
SM-2™ surface‑to‑air missile
The SM-2 missile chases threats closer to the water's surface, defending against anti-ship missiles and aircraft out to 90 nautical miles.
SM-3® defensive interceptor
The SM-3 interceptor is a defensive weapon used to destroy short-to-intermediate-range ballistic missiles.
SM-6® missile
SM‑6 provides versatile terminal‑phase interception of cruise and ballistic missiles, operating effectively from land‑based batteries or naval vessels.
