Missle Launch

A Standard Missile-2 Block IIIA guided missile is launched from the USS John Paul Jones during a Missile Defense Agency and Navy test over the Pacific Ocean by the Aegis Baseline 9.C1 Weapon System-configured ship, Nov. 6, 2014. During the test, a Standard Missile-3 Block IB guided missile successfully intercepted a short-range ballistic missile target, while two low-flying cruise missile targets were engaged by SM-2 Block IIIA guided missiles nearly simultaneously. The test, designated Flight Test Standard Missile-25, was the first live-fire event of the Aegis Weapon System in Integrated Air and Missile Defense Radar Priority Mode, engaging a ballistic missile target and a raid of cruise missile targets.
