The Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) has scored combat victories in the skies of Iraq, Bosnia and Kosovo. Its operational reliability is measured in thousands of hours – an order of magnitude improvement against which other systems can't compare.
AMRAAM packs unprecedented performance into a lightweight, cost-effective package. Because of the incorporation of the latest digital technology, micro-miniaturized solid-state electronics, and up to date active radar guidance, AMRAAM delivers the highest dependability at the lowest cost of ownership.
AMRAAM provides operational flexibility and multi-shot capability. It can be launched day or night, in all weather. Its autonomous guidance capability provides the pilot with critical range preserving launch and leave aptitude. This allows immediate maneuver following missile launch, thus providing faster engagement of follow-on targets or the option to maximize separation from the original threat.
AMRAAM’s operational capabilities include quick fly-out, robust immunity to countermeasures, and better capability attacking low-altitude targets. Its state-of-the-art active radar guidance, multi-shot capability, and dual use (air and surface-launch) deliver high dependability at low cost of ownership.
To date, more than 33 countries have deployed AMRAAM, enriching interoperability, ensuring commonality, and helping to sustain strong overall logistic support.
