*RGM-165 LASM (Land Attack Standard Missile) (SM-4) was a land attack variant of the RIM-66 Standard. Some older SM-2 block II/III missiles were planned for conversion, but the program was canceled in 2002. [ [http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-165.html Raytheon RGM-165 LASM ] ]
*SM-6 Standard ERAM , is an upgraded version of the SM-2 under development designed to target both aircraft and high performance cruise missiles. The missile combines the proven SM-2 airframe with a seeker from anAIM-120 AMRAAM missile utilizing the AMRAAM seeker to hit targets outside the ship's radar horizon, increasing range and accuracy. The missile takes advantage of the datalinking capabilities of the SM-2 and AMRAAM, and is expected to be relatively inexpensive to develop and procure.Notes
