What is the maximum range of air defense missiles?

Standard -3 regional air defense missiles have a range of more than 500 kilometers. Standard -3 missile (SM-3) is a derivative model of RIM- 156 SM-2ER Block4 missile, and it is also a missile component in the future US Navy Theater Ballistic Missile Defense System (NTW-TBMD). This is an advanced ballistic missile defense weapon. Originally planned as a supplement to the low-level SM-2ER Block4A missile, the development plan of the latter was cancelled in February, 20065438+0 65438+. SM-3(RIM- 16 1A) adopts the basic model of SM-2ER Block4A, and adds a third stage rocket engine (ASAS, advanced solid propulsion stage, manufactured by Alliant Technologies), a GPS/INS navigation part (GAINS, GPS-aided inertial navigation system) and a light exoatmospheric kinetic energy interceptor warhead (GAINS).

LEAP used forward-looking infrared sensor (FLIR) to locate the target, and carried out four launch tests on beagle missile from 1992 to 1995. The improved Beagle and Standard 2 missiles were used in the experiment, and two interception launches were attempted, but both failed. The first test of RIM- 16 1A SM-3 was carried out in September 1999, and the third test in 200 1 year1October successfully carried out the missile flight and separated the kinetic energy warhead. June 5438+October 2002 10, RIM- 16 1A conducted the first successful full-range experiment and hit the Aries ballistic missile.

The development of the Standard -3 interceptor missile shows that the early launch test also failed. The fixed steering and attitude control system (SDACS) used in the interceptor warhead failed in the launch test codenamed "FM5" on June 18, 2003. This test is the first time to test SDACS in a real simulation scenario. The launch test of "FM-6" successfully intercepted the target in 2003, but the SM-3 plan still showed obvious delay. The "FM-7" experiment was postponed several times and finally carried out on February 24, 2005. In this experiment, the standard RIM- 16 1A missile is used.

In mid-2006, the experiment of SM-3 was carried out as scheduled. On June 22nd, 2006, the latest BlockIA missile (No.RIM- 16 1B) was used and successfully intercepted. RIM- 16 1B is characterized by upgrading the missile engine and guidance control software to enhance the overall performance, including changes in production and maintenance design.

Future planned RIM- 16 1 missiles include RIM- 16 1C Block IB, which uses a two-color seeker and a new steering and attitude control system. The Block II series will also add other improvement measures, including the second and third stage rocket engines, which will increase the diameter of the missile to improve the maneuverability of the missile.
