Raytheon and the U.S. Navy have evaluated the company’s anti-ship missile defense system in a series of test shots that simulated advanced threat scenarios.
During the tests, the SeaRAM system worked to detect two inbound supersonic missiles and launch the Rolling Airframe Missile Block 2 guided missiles to intercept the targets, Raytheon said Tuesday.
The Navy conducted the tests aboard its self-defense test ship off the southern California coast.
Rick Nelson, vice president of Raytheon’s naval and area mission defense product line, said the missile defense system operated under “high-stress” conditions.
