## What project 2063 buys

The STANDARD Missile 6 BLK IB provides an extended range capability for SM-6 and would provide a key contribution to the protection of Joint U.S. Forces in support of the National Defense Strategy. SM-6 BLK IB addresses valid Joint, Fleet, and Navy Urgent Operational Needs and existing Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC)-approved requirements. This missile aligns with the STANDARD Missile roadmap and takes advantage of the Navy's investment in the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) and leverages advanced missile technology from the SM-6 Family of Missiles and a new 21-inch rocket motor. This program will prototype a new rocket motor in a competitive demonstration effort under a Middle Tier of Acquisition Program. Pending a missile development restart decision, the program will integrate extended range communications into the missile and conduct an extended range demonstration of the SM-6 BLK IB missile under a prototyping effort. Upon completion of the prototyping efforts, the program would transition to a major capability Acquisition program to complete system integration, qualification, developmental testing and operational test.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
