[Quintus Fabius]

Die USA werden nun die bisher von Seeeinheiten verwendete SM-6 Rakete auch an Land einsetzen, als Teil des LRPF Programms - Long Range Precision Fires.

Wie der Autor anführt hat War Zone schon vor Monaten davon geschrieben, jetzt scheint es aber tatsächlich soweit zu sein.

U.S. Army has now officially chosen to adopt the Navy's SM-6 (RIM-174) surface-to-air missile to satisfy its ground-based Mid-Range Capability (MRC) as part of its larger Long-Range Precision Fires initiative. As such, the weapon's secondary ballistic missile-like surface-to-surface strike capabilities will become a primary capability set for the Army units equipped with it in the future. This will initially be a prototype effort to combine the missile with a fully integrated ground-based fire control and launching system, but barring any unforeseen major setbacks, which are unlikely for a relatively mature off-the-shelf system like SM-6, it will facilitate the fielding of the missile in an operational capacity in 2023.
