Air Intercept Missile - 9X, Product Development

Abstract

Continuation of Primary Hardware Development/Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) efforts for the AIM-9X weapon system. This includes Systems Engineering/Program Management (SEPM), as well as associated governmental and contractor support required to ensure AIM-9X missile integration with threshhold aircraft platforms. Also, includes efforts to redesign missile components in order to resolve Block II common component obsolescence, implement cost reduction initiatives, and to comply with the Insensitive Munitions (IM) requirements as established by Joint Requirements Oversight Council memo dated 11 February 2009. The program will implement improvements to the warhead developed by Navy Research Laboratory, to incorporate into the AIM-9X Block II production missile. Beginning in FY2016, the Navy will join in the Air Force efforts that began in FY2015 to develop software improvements for the next incremental version 9.4 (v9.4x) to incorporate into the FY2017 AIM-9X Block II production missile.
