Within two minutes after target launch, the Aegis Weapon System fired the SM-3 guided missile. About two minutes later, the missile's kinetic warhead acquired, tracked and diverted the target, using only the force of the direct collision to destroy the target – "hit to kill" technology. This was the fourth successful intercept for Aegis BMD and SM-3.
