According to a report in Naval Post, the SM-6 missiles can be deployed against enemy helicopters, aircraft and cruise missiles with an extended capability of striking moving targets on land and sea.
The DoD tweeted: “See the game-changing, cross-domain, cross-service concepts the Strategic Capabilities Office and @USNAvy are rapidly developing: an SM-6 launched from a modular launcher off of USV Ranger.
“Such innovation drives the future of joint capabilities. #DoDInnovates.”
The US ghost ships are being developed by the DoD’s Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) as part of the Ghost Fleet Overlord Program.
The programme is presently in its second stage, which is expected to wrap up by the end of 2022.
