Raytheon logo_EbizRaytheon has entered full-rate production of its Standard Missile-6 rocket for the U.S. Navy at the company’s Redstone Arsenal production facility in Alabama.

“Full-rate production allows us to significantly ramp up production and deliver to the U.S. Navy the quantities it needs to further increase operational effectiveness,” Mike Campisi, SM-6 senior program director at Raytheon, said Wednesday.

The SM-6 surface-to-air missile works to counter manned and unmanned aerial vehicles, fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft as well as anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles, the company said.

Raytheon previously performed section-level assembly and testing development work on the missile at its Arizona subsystem center factory.
