RIM-66B

usn_rim-66bSAM/ASuWUSA

The Standard Missile 1 is a family of radar-homing area-defense surface to air missiles (with a secondary short-range anti-ship capability) characterized by their long-burning sustainers and well-rounded performance against most threats. Standard Missile 1 was designed as a more reliable upgrade to the earlier RIM-2 Terrier and RIM-24 Tartar missiles, but still shares their limitations in fire control capacity and ability against low-flying targets.\n\nSM-1MR Block V (RIM-66B-2) is the improved Medium Range version of the SM-1 series, which upgraded on the earlier RIM-66A with a more powerful rocket motor for greater range, and a new fuze and seeker assembly to improve its ECCM performance.
