Topic: AIM 132 ASRAAM

	AIM-132 ASRAAM
		ASRAAM was initiated in the 1980's by Germany and the United Kingdom, but the two countries were unable to agree on the details of the joint-venture.
		Germany left the ASRAAM project in the early 1990s, and in the spring of 1995 initiated an improved version of the Sidewinder, the IRIS-T (Infra Red Imagery Sidewinder-Tail controlled) built by Bodensee Geraetetechnik GmBH (BGT).
		The resulting assessment was that the ASRAAM (as is) could not meet the AIM-9X operational requirements in high off-boresight angle performance, infrared counter-countermeasures robustness, lethality, and interoperability.

	AIM-132 ASRAAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Germany left the ASRAAM project in the early 1990s, and in the spring of 1995 initiated an improved version of the Sidewinder, the IRIS-T.
		The ASRAAM also has a LOAL (Lock-On After Launch) ability which is a distinct advantage when the missile is carried in an internal weapons bay such as in the upcoming F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which uses internal weapon bays for stealth.
		In 1995, Hughes and BAe proposed the "P3I ASRAAM" after the AIM-132 ASRAAM's performance was evaluated insufficient.

	Matra-BAe AIM-132 ASRAAM ASRAAM - The RAAF's New WVR AAM
		Since the ASRAAM achieves high accuracy, it is in effect a "hittile" and therefore arguably the warhead serves the purpose of guaranteeing the otherwise almost certain kill produced by a hit with a high velocity missile airframe.
		The ASRAAM is designed to enable the early engagement of opposing fighter aircraft, and this is reflected in the missile's combination of highly sensitive FPA seeker, midcourse inertial package and high energy motor.
		Therefore the ASRAAM is built to enable a defending fighter to break up opposing fighter escorts in the premerge, to provide the defending fighter with an early opportunity to engage the escorted bomber package.

	MBDA (BAe Dynamics/Matra) AIM-132 ASRAAM - Defence Talk - Defence Forum
		While the RAF had still rejected full-scale procurement of ASRAAM in 2001 because it was not meeting performance goals in some key areas, these problems have apparently been solved, and ASRAAM was finally declared ready for operational use with the RAF in September 2002.
		ASRAAM will be the primary air combat missile for the RAFs Tornado F3 and, subsequently, the Typhoon combat aircraft.
		Alan Sparkes, MBDA ASRAAM Project Head said: The results of the ASRAAM trials program and recent aircrew training demonstrate the revolutionary design and aerial combat superiority of ASRAAM, which was sought for the RAF from the outset.

		The ASRAAM has been selected by the United Kingdom and the Australian Air Force for their Tornado F3, Harrier, F/A-18 and Eurofighter-Typhoon aircraft.
		ASRAAM has a single blast fragmentation warhead detonated by impact and laser proximity fuze.
		On August 20, 2004, the ASRAAM short range air-to-air missile was cleared for operational service with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

		Many combat aircraft are currently equipped with radar-guided AIM-120 AMRAAM for long range engagements and the AIM-9 Sidewinder for close combat.
		A rival to the American-built AIM-9X Sidewinder, ASRAAM is equipped with a Raytheon-Hughes infrared seeker which is the baseline for the company's AIM-9X Sidewinder seeker.
		The Luftwaffe concluded that the AA-11's performance had been seriously underestimated -- the AA-11 turned out to be superior to the Sidewinder AIM-9L in all respects: homing head field of view, acquisition range, maneuverability, ease of designation, and target lock-on.

	Lockheed-Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community
		ASRAAM's are already standard fit on Eurofighter Typhoon, the aussie F-18's and the Tornado F3.
		Side doors for a bunch of JSF's would be a cool idea but they would have to be really small (just for ASRAAM's and maybe ASMT) or the profile of the aircraft may have to change.
		Bear in mind with this mod the planes could carry 4x AMRAAM and 2x ASRAAM, and considering the RN will use the plane as an air superiority aircraft for fleet defence (as well as a strike plane) something tells me they would love this upgrade.

		ASRAAM was developed from the earlier SRAAM project in partnership, originally with the USA.
		Such was the maneuverability of Taildog and SRAAM that one round is said to have almost collided with the Hunter launch aircraft during trials.
		ASRAAM is finally entering service with the RAF in 2002 after more than 25 years development, having lost the TVC and is now pylon launched.

		It is steered by four double delta planes located at the front of the missile, additional control coming from the rear wings in the from the rear wings in the form of "rollerons".The Sidewinder can accelerate to Mach 2.5 in about 2 seconds.
		The ASRAAM is guided by an advanced imaging IR seeker utilising image processing systems in order to recognise its target and give it all-aspect capability.
		The TV version is aimed by the pilot who locates targets via a television camera in the missile's nose.

	Dirty Little Secrets History of AIM-9X StrategyPage.com
		The initial ASRAAM development had entered the program definition phase in 1984, but by 1987 there was discord between the two partners over key requirements issues.
		With no “ASRAAM” program underway at that point, the US (as well as Canada, Norway and Australia) then considered the MOU abrogated (as there was nothing to pull out of at that time) and began looking for other solutions.
		When ASRAAM came to screeching halt, USN and USAF were still not cooperating and began separate programs; USN began developing AIM-9R (a China Lake design along with the BOA airframe improvement effort) while USAF had several seeker and airframe mod efforts going as well (AIM-9M+/Boxoffice).

		This feature, called "fire and forget," frees the pilot from the need to continuously illuminate the missile's target with a radar lock, enabling the pilot to aim and fire several missiles simultaneously at multiple targets and perform evasive maneuvers while the missiles guide themselves to the targets.
		The AIM-120 grew out of an agreement, no longer in effect, among the United States and several other NATO nations to develop air-to-air missiles and to share production technology.
		Under this agreement the U.S. was to develop the next generation medium range missile (AMRAAM) and Europe would develop the next generation short range missile (ASRAAM).

		The GR9B is expected to sell at £12 million per unit (in the region of US$22million), but as ever the size of a contract may have a bearing on the cost of a production run.
		Armament, if desired, may consist of AIM-132 ASRAAM or AIM-9 Sidewinder, rocket-pods, bombs, and potentially other IR-guided AAMs that may be used by individual customers.
		Armament and other equipment comes in the form of up to nine Stingray torpedoes, bombs, and Sea Eagle or Harpoon missiles stored internally, Sidewinder or ASRAAM missiles under wing for opportunity attacks against opposing surveillance aircraft, a range of air-deliverable dinghies, survival packs and other stores and up to 150 sonobuoys of various sorts.

	Sidewinder vs. Archer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Sidewinder had been slated for replacement by the AIM-132 ASRAAM (Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile), which had a range of 15 kilometers and a 22-pound warhead.
		ASRAAM was eventually adopted by the RAF and Germans.
		However, the AIM-9R, which featured a much more accurate imaging infra-red (IIR) seeker, and a range of 19 kilometers, was cancelled.

		Reports favourably on progress with the Hughes AMRAAM successor to the Sparrow, and the European ASRAAM successor to the Sidewinder.
		The importance of early success in the air battle, and of AAM efficiency in achieving it, makes it hardly surprising that difficulties will arise at this frontier of technology, but the AMRAAM's problems are being solved and the ASRAAM's development is going smoothly.
		The French MICA ('missile d'interception et de combat aérien'), while a regrettable departure in terms of procurement philosophy from NATO ideals of interoperability and resource-sharing, nevertheless complicates the enemy's counter-measures planning.

	Raytheon AIM-9 Sidewinder
		Since the 1980s, the DOD has been searching for a new missile to replace the AIM-9 as its standard short-range "dogfight" air-to-air missile.
		Original plans to procure the European AIM-132 ASRAAM (Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile) were dropped, and various test programs were conducted during the late 1980s/early 1990s, including Have Thrust (USAF, classified), Top Hat (USAF/Hughes), Box Office (Loral/Raytheon) and Boa (NWC China Lake).
		From 1991 on, efforts to develop a Sidewinder follow-on were generally known as "AIM-9X".
