Raytheon Company’s Standard Missile-3 block one-A completed its 19th intercept during a flight test at the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii. This was the first flight test of a SM-3 Block one-A against an intermediate range ballistic missile and the first launch-on-remote engagement of a ballistic missile target. SM-3’s interception of the target signifies a major milestone in the first phase of the current administration’s Phased Adaptive Approach for missile defense in Europe.
