AIM-9X
Abstract
The AIM-9X Block II/II+ Sidewinder (AIM-9X Blk II/II+) delivers a launch and leave, air combat munition that uses passive Infrared (IR) energy to acquire and track enemy air targets and is a critical component of fighter aircraft loadout required by the Chief of Naval Operations Guidance and the National Defense Strategy. This line item continues technical refresh of hardware and software and develops advanced capabilities to maintain threshold requirements. Primarily, the program will develop new hardware and software solutions to pace evolutions in threat aircraft countermeasure technology and redesign, develop, and integrate components facing obsolescence. Additionally, the program will investigate insensitive munitions improvements and enhance anti-tamper and cyber security performance. The program software strategy is to incrementally field missile software improvements that take advantage of improved hardware and updated intelligence to deliver increased capability to the warfighter. In FY23, the program will complete development and conduct test of a software rehost for the SIP III update that will enter production in Lot 21 as the AIM-9X-4/5 configurations. The program will execute Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development for the SIP IV hardware and software development effort. The FY23 hardware effort will include design and development of the advanced sensor and electronics unit. The FY23 software efforts will include OFS 9.5X development and test, OFS 10.5X development, and OFS 11.5X development.
