DUD missile Failure;
(Power supply failure)
Control Surface Anomaly; (stopped following commands)
TDD Anomaly
(2 early detections)
Missile Failure:
(Wide Band Search (WBS) anomaly prevented proper acquisition of target)
TDD Anomaly:
(Race Condition with Adjunct Telemeter)

Standard Missile 6 (SM-6)
- SM-6 combines legacy SM-2 propulsion
and ordnance with AMRAAM active seeker
AOTR Results
- Not enough DT - Discovery rate high & rising
- IOT&E looked more like DT (scenarios)
“I do not recommend proceeding to lOT&E. I assess SM-6 at high risk to favorably completing lOT&E”

Acquisition Timeline
- Assumption of low risk very aggressive sked
- Test Schedule reflected low risk assumption
- Early discovery of problems did not delay sked
Significant Discovery Continues – Increasing Trend
