RIM-85

In 1968, the U.S. Navy formulated a requirement for a ship-launched medium-range missile against attack aircraft, missiles (air-to-surface and surface-to-surface), and surface targets. The missile designator ZRIM-85A was allocated in July 1968, but the development program was never started.

Specifications

The RIM-85 program was cancelled before any design work was done.
