SM-2; Part 1 with Sunshine and Roger

In a reversal of roles, our host Brian ‘Sunshine’ Sinclair interviews Authentic Media’s own Scott ‘Roger’ Chafian on the Standard Missile. ‘Rogers’ background as an Aegis Combat Systems Officer on Ticonderoga and Arleigh Burke Class ships allows him to share with us the background of Fleet Air Defense in the US Navy. From the development of the 3T’s (Tarter, Terrier, Talos) fitted on existing ships to the evolution of the ‘Standard’ Missile on purpose-built platforms, this episode begins to go behind the curtain on one of the world’s premier surface to air missiles.
