System Improvement Program (SIP) Efforts

Abstract

Continuation of SIP Risk Reduction efforts for the AMRAAM weapons system. Efforts include systems engineering, program management, missile software and/or hardware upgrades to increase capability, survivability, lethality, as well as aircraft Operational Flight Profile updates on a recurring basis. SIP-3F will host AIM-120D SIP-3 software on AIM-120D3 hardware. AIM-120D3 SIP-4 will exploit new Form, Fit, Function Refresh (F3R) hardware to maximize missile performance. AIM-120D SIP 3 Tape 2 will address newly matured capabilities, emerging threats, and OT deficiencies. AIM-120D3 SIP-5 will increase heart of the envelope performance and address an expanded threat space. Candidate Selection Process (CSP) analyzes warfighter priority deficiencies and enhancements to feed risk reduction efforts and future SIP efforts.
