The U.S. Army conducted the first live-firing of a new midrange capability missile system in the Pacific during large-scale military drills last week in northern Australia. 

An SM-6 missile was fired from the new system Wednesday, according to a statement from the Army, hitting and sinking a sea-based target during Talisman Sabre 25, a bilateral U.S. and Australian exercise now underway. 

“The deployment of the [Mid-Range Capability] and successful execution of an SM-6 live fire against a maritime target is another significant step forward in our ability to deploy, integrate and command and control advanced land-based maritime strike capabilities,” said Col. Wade Germann, commander of the Army’s 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force. 

The exercise validated targeting and command and control cooperation with the Australian military, he said. 

“We have set the stage to develop and deploy combat-credible, multidomain capabilities forward in support of the combined and joint force,” Col. Germann said. 

The missile firing followed Chinese naval live-fire drills near Australia in February that prompted protests from Canberra over the lack of notification. Airline flights were forced to divert flight paths during the unprecedented live-fire exercise. 

Chinese warships also conducted a circumnavigation of Australia around the same time. 

The new missile system, also known as the Typhon, can fire precision-guided SM-6 missiles and long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles. The SM-6 has a range of around 300 miles and the Tomahawk can hit targets up to 1,200 miles.
