Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air
Missile
 The AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile,
or AMRAAM (pronounced "am-ram"), is a modern beyond-visual-range air-
to-air missile (BVRAAM) capable of all-weather day-and-night operations.
 Able to Integrate with combat aircrafts such as the F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F-
22,Typhoon, Gripen, Tornado, Harrier, F-4, and the F-35 Joint Strike
Fighter.
 The AIM-120 improves the aerial combat capabilities of U.S. and allied
aircraft to meet current and future threat of enemy air-to-air weapons.
 When an AMRAAM missile is being launched, NATO pilots use the brevity
code – Fox Three.[
 AIM-120B: The AIM-120B missile was the result of the two block AMRAAM
Producibility Enhancement Program. The B-model incorporates a new
digital processor, erasable programmable read only memory, and five
major electronic unit hardware chassis upgrades.
 AIM-120C: The AIM-120C will include a redesigned warhead and
improvements to the rocket motor, fuzing logic, guidance algorithms, and
ECCM logic. Modified for internal carriage on the F-22.
 AIM-120D: is an upgraded version of the AMRAAM with improvements in
almost all areas, including 50% greater range (than the already-extended
range AIM-120C-7) and better guidance over its entire flight envelope
yielding an improved kill probability
 Derived from the Sparrow range of missiles, the AMRAAM was designed to
be quicker, smaller and lighter than the Sparrow.
 The missile has beyond-visual-range and home-on-jamming capabilities.
 The launch weight of the missile is 150.7kg. It is capable of carrying an
18.1kg high-explosive blast fragmentation warhead to a maximum range
of between 20 to 30 nautical miles (nm).
 The combat-proven AMRAAM has accumulated more than 1.8 million
captive-carry hours and more than 2,900 live firings. To date, 17,500 AIM-
120 missiles have been produced.
 The AIM-120 AMRAAM receives information about the location of the
target from the aircraft before its launch.
 The onboard active radar with inertial navigation system (INS) makes the
missile less dependent on aircraft's fire control radar and integrates a
data link to guide the missile.
 Once the missile closes to self-homing distance, the active radar guides it
towards the target.
 This feature provides fire and forget capability to the missile and allows
the pilot to fire number of missiles simultaneously at multiple targets.
 Propulsion: Alliant Techsystems solid-propellant rocket motor; or NAMMO
Raufoss solid-propellant rocket motor
 Length: 143.9 in (3.66 m)
 Diameter: 7 in (17.78 cm)
 Wingspan: 20.7 in (52.58 cm)
 Weight: 335 lbs (150.75 kg)
 Speed: Supersonic (Mach 4)
 Range: 26-39 nm/30-45 miles (48-72 km)
 Platforms: AV-8B Harrier II; F-22 Raptor;
F-15 Eagle/F-15E Strike Eagle; F-16 Fighting Falcon
F/A-18C/D Hornet; F/A-18E/F Super Hornet;
EA-18G Growler; F-35 Lightning II

AIM-120, USA - Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile

  • 2.
  • 3.  The AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, or AMRAAM (pronounced "am-ram"), is a modern beyond-visual-range air- to-air missile (BVRAAM) capable of all-weather day-and-night operations.  Able to Integrate with combat aircrafts such as the F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F- 22,Typhoon, Gripen, Tornado, Harrier, F-4, and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.  The AIM-120 improves the aerial combat capabilities of U.S. and allied aircraft to meet current and future threat of enemy air-to-air weapons.  When an AMRAAM missile is being launched, NATO pilots use the brevity code – Fox Three.[
  • 4.
  • 5.  AIM-120B: The AIM-120B missile was the result of the two block AMRAAM Producibility Enhancement Program. The B-model incorporates a new digital processor, erasable programmable read only memory, and five major electronic unit hardware chassis upgrades.  AIM-120C: The AIM-120C will include a redesigned warhead and improvements to the rocket motor, fuzing logic, guidance algorithms, and ECCM logic. Modified for internal carriage on the F-22.  AIM-120D: is an upgraded version of the AMRAAM with improvements in almost all areas, including 50% greater range (than the already-extended range AIM-120C-7) and better guidance over its entire flight envelope yielding an improved kill probability
  • 6.
  • 7.  Derived from the Sparrow range of missiles, the AMRAAM was designed to be quicker, smaller and lighter than the Sparrow.  The missile has beyond-visual-range and home-on-jamming capabilities.  The launch weight of the missile is 150.7kg. It is capable of carrying an 18.1kg high-explosive blast fragmentation warhead to a maximum range of between 20 to 30 nautical miles (nm).  The combat-proven AMRAAM has accumulated more than 1.8 million captive-carry hours and more than 2,900 live firings. To date, 17,500 AIM- 120 missiles have been produced.
  • 8.
  • 9.  The AIM-120 AMRAAM receives information about the location of the target from the aircraft before its launch.  The onboard active radar with inertial navigation system (INS) makes the missile less dependent on aircraft's fire control radar and integrates a data link to guide the missile.  Once the missile closes to self-homing distance, the active radar guides it towards the target.  This feature provides fire and forget capability to the missile and allows the pilot to fire number of missiles simultaneously at multiple targets.

  • 11.  Propulsion: Alliant Techsystems solid-propellant rocket motor; or NAMMO Raufoss solid-propellant rocket motor  Length: 143.9 in (3.66 m)  Diameter: 7 in (17.78 cm)  Wingspan: 20.7 in (52.58 cm)  Weight: 335 lbs (150.75 kg)  Speed: Supersonic (Mach 4)  Range: 26-39 nm/30-45 miles (48-72 km)  Platforms: AV-8B Harrier II; F-22 Raptor; F-15 Eagle/F-15E Strike Eagle; F-16 Fighting Falcon F/A-18C/D Hornet; F/A-18E/F Super Hornet; EA-18G Growler; F-35 Lightning II
