	AIM-120 AMRAAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, or AMRAAM (pronounced am-ram), commonly known to air crews as the "Slammer," is a modern air-to-air missile (AAM).
		AMRAAM was developed as the result of an agreement, no longer in effect, among the United States and several other NATO nations to develop air-to-air missiles and to share production technology.
		If the targets are armed with missiles, the fire-and-forget nature of the AMRAAM is invaluable, enabling the launching aircraft to fire missiles at the target and then turn and run away.

	Quo Vadis - AMRAAM?
		Amraam was developed to fulfill a crucial role in the air defence of the Free World and without viable alternatives the repeatedly threatened cancellation of the programme could have serious long-term implications.
		Amraam is the successor to the Raytheon AIM-7 Sparrow missile family, one of the great disappointments of the Vietnam conflict.
		Amraam has been tested in fire-and-forget mode against non-manoeuvring and manoeuvring targets at transonic speeds, it has successfully flown under datalink control at maximum range at high altitude and has also successfully destroyed a low flying drone at 1,000ft/MO.7 in a tail aspect look down/shoot down attack from 16,000ft.

		The AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range, Air-to-Air Missile, or AMRAAM (pronounced am-ram), commonly known to air crews as the 'Slammer,' is a new generation air-to-air missile, developed as the result of an agreement between the United States and other NATO countries (see below).
		The AIM-120D is a planned upgraded version of the AMRAAM with improvements in almost all areas, including 50% greater range and better guidance over its entire flight envelope yielding an improved kill probabiliy (PK).
		Once in its terminal mode, the missile's advanced electronic-counter-counter-measure (ECCM) support and good maneuverability mean that the chance of it hitting or exploding close to the target is high (on the order of 90%), as long as it has enough remaining engergy to maneuver with the target if it is evasive.

		The AIM-120 AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile) is a high-supersonic, day/night/all weather Beyond Visual Range (BVR), fire-and-forget air-to-air missile.
		By 1985, AMRAAM was in serious trouble: huge cost overruns and delays meant that not a single test round was fired in a hostile ECM-environment until October 1986.
		The AMRAAM is housed in a light-weight structure of steel and titanium.

		The AMRAAM Captive Equipment (ACE) and Integration Test Vehicle (ITV) pods were flown on the F/A-18s to test the missile's interface with the aircraft and missile guidance algorithms.
		With funding for this type of AMRAAM testing not expected for the next fiscal year, the success of the testing was of even greater importance.

	Armament of F-15A/B/C/D
		The AMRAAM is guided to the vicinity of its target by an inertial guidance unit, which can be updated if necessary by a datalink from the launching aircraft.
		Since the seeker in the nose of the AMRAAM uses active radar homing, the missile does not require that the launching aircraft illuminate the target or continue to track it after launch.
		The AMRAAM is 11.97 feet long, has a wingspan of 20.7 inches, and a diameter of 7 inches.

	BAe Active Skyflash and AIM-120 AMRAAM
		The objective in designing the AMRAAM was to provide a fire and forget all weather beyond visual range (BVR) missile sufficiently light to allow even smaller fighters such as the F-16 and F/A-18 to fly air defence missions against a numerically stronger opponent, with tactically useful weapon loads.
		AMRAAM therefore represents a major advance in the state of the art, providing an aircraft such as the F/A-18 with an effective air defence capability against multiple closing targets at lower altitudes.
		Where the seeker differs fundamentally from AMRAAM is in the use of an injection locked solid state transmitter, this approach was initially sought by AMRAAM designers but had to be rejected due reliability problems in the then immature high power microwave transistors.

		The ultimate BVR weapon for the F-16 turned out to be the Hughes AIM-120 AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile), which is carried by the F-16C/D. The AMRAAM is intended to combine the BVR performance of the Sparrow in an airframe that is not much larger than that of the AIM-9 Sidewinder.
