POINT MUGU, Calif., Sept. 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy achieved the longest surface-to-air intercept in naval history using Raytheon's Standard Missile-6 in a recent flight test.
During the demonstration, Navy operators onboard the USS Princeton were able to successfully destroy an over-the-horizon target. The test aimed to integrate Navy ships, the SM-6, and airborne sensors into a single network using latest Aegis baseline 9 combat system.
