Aegis BMD (FTM-11) Stellar Hunters Quicklook

Narrative on the first successful simultaneous engagement of a short range ballistic missile (SRBM) and a anti-air warfare (AAW) target by the Aegis BMD 3.6 Weapon System. USS Lake Erie fired and guided a Standard Missile-3 (SM-3)Blk IA missile to a successful intercept of a SRBM and a SM-2 Blk IIIA to the intercept of a low-altitude cruise missile representing a hostile aircraft.

This test was the second with the Block IA version of SM-3, and the first IA with a full-capability solid divert and attitude control system. Raytheon is delivering Block IA rounds for operational use on Navy cruisers and destroyers.
