The Space Launched Assault Missile - 6 was a limited all-aspect infrared combat missile designed by the Fox Corporation for use in space during starship to starship engagements. Although the limited all-aspect capability is only a minor change, it is boosted by the missile's greatly increased range and improved flare resistance. As part of the bid to prevent blue-on-blue incidents, the SLAM-6 was also equipped with a primitive Automatic Relock (ARL) ITAS.
Contrary to popular belief, the SLAM-6 was not developed from the SLAM-5, as the numbering might suggest. The difference in guidance types meant the new platform had to be based on the SLAM-4, the most recent infrared design. However, it did serve as the basis for the SLAM-6R semi-active radar homing missile.
