Research abstract
The objective of this program is to develop and produce a prototype SM-3, Block IIB nosecone that can achieve all of the performance requirements specified for the IIB interceptor, but at a considerably lower cost and weight than has been achieved previously with SM-3 nosecones. This is achievable with technologies developed at Mentis Sciences, Inc., and is being applied to a number of other interceptor programs: Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC3), Standard Missile (SM-6), and the Stunner Interceptor, which is an integral component of the David"s Sling Weapon Systems (DSWS), a US ISRAEL cooperative development program.
