Standard missile, which is operated by our navy force by loading on DDH-II and DDG, is representative interceptors of U.S. Navy. To defend from rapidly increased air threats after World War II, U.S. Navy had accelerated the development of interceptors, and consequently 3Ts series(Tartar, Talos, Terrier) were developed. Since Standard Missile(SM) series were developed on the back of 3Ts, SM series has been positioned as main surface-to-air interceptors. In this paper, types and technical characteristics of Standard Missile Series from SM-1 to SM-6 are investigated and described.
