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 energy to acquire and track enemy air targets that employ advanced infrared countermeasures 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 energetics improvements, enhanced anti-tamper and cyber security, and future platform integration. The program will deliver increased capability to the warfighter by incrementally fielding missile software updates to optimize hardware and incorporate capabilities based on updated intelligence of threat countermeasures. In FY 2024, the program will execute engineering, manufacturing, and development for the SIP IV hardware and software development effort. The FY 2024 hardware effort will include design and development of the advanced sensor and electronics unit. FY 2024 software efforts will include completion of development and fielding of OFS 10.5X, and continued development of OFS 11.5X. In addition, the program will assess integration on 5th generation+ systems.
