Late yesterday, the Missile Defense Agency, U.S. Navy and Lockheed Martin successfully conducted an intercept of an advanced Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) test target utilizing the Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) Dual II with Software Upgrade (SWUP). Flight Test Aegis Weapon System (FTM) 32, or Stellar Laelaps, demonstrated the capability to detect, track, engage, and intercept an MRBM target in the terminal phase of flight culminating in a live intercept by an Aegis Baseline 9 equipped ship.
