Standard Missile

The Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) is a type of missile designed to intercept and destroy short to intermediate-range ballistic missiles. Developed by the United States, it uses advanced technology to track and engage incoming threats in space, primarily during the midcourse phase of their flight. Deployed on ships and ground-based systems, the SM-3 plays a crucial role in missile defense strategies, helping to protect regions from potential missile attacks. Its successful tests and deployments contribute to international security by deterring aggressors and fostering defense collaboration among allied nations.
