October 4, 200718 yr I understand the various versions of the RIM-162 ESSM are primarily differentiated for the types of launchers with which they are associated, i.e. RIM-162A - Aegis/Mk 41 VLS RIM-162B - non-Aegis/Mk 41 VLS (no S band uplink) RIM-162C - Mk 48 VLS RIM-162D - Mk 29 box launcher but are there any differences in performance or capability between these versions ?
October 4, 200718 yr Hello Brad, there's no more differences mentioned in Jane's Naval Weapon Systems publications. hope it helps, Jan
