Aegis BMD Stellar Defender (FM-6) Documentary
Uploaded by AegisBMD on Jul 20, 2011
Documentary overview of the first successful, lethal intercept of a short range ballistic missile (SRMB) by USS Lake Erie with a Standard Missile-3 Blk 0 interceptor .
For the first time in a Aegis BMD test event, the mission was performed under real-world operational conditions.
Video courtesy of Lockheed Martin. Approved for Public Release 2204-0081
FM-6
The next mission, FM-6 (Codename: Stellar Defender) was conducted on December 11, 2003. A modification to the SDACS design was implemented so as not to endanger the warhead's ability to intercept. This override allowed the KW to navigate with reduced (but no less lethal) capability. FM-6 once again featured a successful interception. The USS Lake Erie was the firing ship.
