Abstract

ABSTRACTThe Navy has recently completed development of a booster rocket motor, MK 70, for use with the new Standard missile. The new missile will be deployed on Terrier new threat upgrade (NTU) ships.This paper describes the shipboard integration program directed by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to insure that ship safety and survivability would not be degraded upon deployment of SM‐2 missiles with the MK 70 booster.At‐sea and land based tests were conducted to evaluate missile launcher and ship compatibility with the new missile system and to insure increased operational capabilities.The results of these tests are described along with the ship, launcher, and missile modifications determined necessary for the safe integration of the SM‐2 into the Terrier ships.
