The RIM-67 Standard ER (SM-1ER/SM-2ER) is an extended range surface-to-air missile (SAM) originally developed for the United States Navy (USN). Semi-active radar homing, or SARH, is a common type of Missile guidance system perhaps the most common type for longer range air-to-air and Surface-to-air A surface to air missile ( SAM) or ground-to-air missile ( GTAM) is a Missile designed to be launched from the ground to destroy Aircraft The RIM-67 was developed as a replacement for the RIM-8 Talos and systems deployed in the 1950s on a variety of USN ships. The Bendix RIM-8 Talos was a long-range naval Surface-to-air missile, and was among the earliest surface-to-air missiles to equip United States The 1950s Decade refers to the years of 1950 to 1959 inclusive

RIM-67 SM-1 Extended Range

The RIM-67 SM-1ER was the Navy's replacement for RIM-8 Talos missile. The Bendix RIM-8 Talos was a long-range naval Surface-to-air missile, and was among the earliest surface-to-air missiles to equip United States The RIM-67 was reduced to the size of the earlier RIM-2 Terrier because of improved technology, and Terrier armed ships were adapted to employ the new missile. The Convair RIM-2 Terrier was a two-stage medium-range naval Surface-to-air missile (SAM and was among the earliest surface-to-air missiles to equip United Ships carrying the SM-1ER were often still called Terrier ships even after the SM-1ER.

RIM-67 and RIM-156 SM-2 Extended Range

With the development of the SM-2MR a SM-2ER with a booster stage was developed. Because the RIM-67's first stage booster was very long, it could not fit into the Mk 41 VLS system, and thus could not be used with the Aegis weapon system, instead the SM-2ER was employed with the New Threat Upgrade equiped Terrier ships. New Threat Upgrade (NTU was a program to improve the anti-aircraft capability of Terrier and Tartar ships

The RIM-156 Standard SM-2ER Block IV with the Mk 72 booster was developed to compensate for the lack of a long range SM for the Ticonderoga-class of Aegis cruisers.

The Standard can also be used against ships, either at line-of-sight range using its semi-active homing mode, or over the horizon using inertial guidance and terminal infrared homing. [1]

There was a plan to build a nuclear armed standard missile mounting a W81 nuclear warhead as a replacement for the earlier Nuclear Terrier missile (RIM-2D). The W81 thermonuclear warhead was a planned US warhead to be mounted on the SM-2 surface to air missile used by the US Navy The Convair RIM-2 Terrier was a two-stage medium-range naval Surface-to-air missile (SAM and was among the earliest surface-to-air missiles to equip United The USN, having lost interest in such a weapon, rescinded the requirement in the 1980s and the project was canceled. [2]

Operational history

During the Iran-Iraq War the United States had deployed Standard missiles to protect its navy as well as other ships in the Persian Gulf from Iranian attacks. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the According to the Iranian Air Force, its F-4 Phantom IIs were engaged by SM-2ERs but managed to evade them, with one aircraft sustaining non-fatal damage due to shrapnel. [3]

On April 18, 1988, during Operation Praying Mantis, the USS Simpson (FFG-56) fired four RIM-66 Standard missiles and the USS Wainwright (CG-28) fired two RIM-67 Standard missiles at Joshan, an Iranian (Combattante II) Kaman-class fast attack craft.

Deployment

RIM-67 Standard was deployed on ships of the following classes, replacing the RIM-2 Terrier, and it never was VLS-capable. The Convair RIM-2 Terrier was a two-stage medium-range naval Surface-to-air missile (SAM and was among the earliest surface-to-air missiles to equip United All of the ships used the AN/SPG-55 for guidance and the Mk-10 guided missile launching system for the launcher. Later, SM-2ER missiles needed illumination of the target from the AN/SPG-55 only for terminal intercept, using inertial guidance for the rest of the interception.

The RIM-156 Standard Block IV, uses the Mk-41 VLS, the AN/SPY-1 radar for uplink and mid-course guidance, and the AN/SPG-62 for terminal guidance.
