AIM-9X Block III
Abstract
The AIM-9X Block III builds upon the incremental acquisition strategy used to develop AIM-9X Block I and Block II to provide increased kinematics, lethality, enhanced Infrared Counter-Measure performance against emerging advanced threats, and improved Insensitive Munitions performance and will employ several components common with the AIM-9X Block II (e.g. advanced seeker, Advanced Optical Target Detector / datalink). This budget line item will fund the technology risk reduction, software development, hardware development, insensitive munitions improvements, test, and aircraft platform integration of AIM-9X Block III to ensure these capabilities perform in accordance with established requirements. An AIM-9X Block III risk reduction effort will mature the program for an FY16 Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) start. Risk reduction and EMD programs also comply with and address the Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandum Insensitive Munitions direction (11 Feb 09) for AIM-9X IM technology insertion. Applicable anti-tamper features already incorporated in the existing AIM-9X Block II to protect improvements inherent in design will be brought forward for AIM-9X Block III.
