AIM-9X
Abstract
AIM-9X is a long-term evolution of the AIM-9, a fielded system, qualifying this as a research category operational systems development. The AIM-9X short range Air-to-Air missile modification program provides a launch and leave, air combat munition that uses passive Infra-Red energy for acquisition and tracking of enemy aircraft and complements the Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile. Air superiority in the short range Air-to-Air Missile arena is essential and includes first shot, first kill opportunity against an enemy employing IR countermeasures. The AIM-9X employs several components common with the AIM-9M (fuze, rocket motor and warhead). The program will enter the final planned LRIP (LRIP-4) in FY 2014, followed by Block II Full Rate Production (FRP) in FY 2015 and beyond.
