(See) Fregatte Klasse F124 (Sachsen-Klasse)

[Ratefroh]

Vielleicht kann man relativ „kostengünstig“ SM-6 ohne Booster entwickeln und einrüsten. ESSM Block 2 scheint eine gewisse Verwandschaft zur SM-6 zu haben. Zumindest der aktive Suchkopf der Block 2 wurde aus dem der SM-6 abgeleitet…

Gibt es quasi schon:
The Naval Sea Systems Command has announced its intentions to develop an active terminal homing version of the SM-2 MR missile. This will incorporate the active homing seeker of the SM-6 ERAM into the existing SM-2 airframe. The Raytheon Company will be awarded contracts for the STANDARD Missile-2 Block IIIC EMD and LRIP requirements on a sole source basis. The SM-2 Block IIIC is now in production and deployed aboard Navy Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
