### Project 673777 — AMRAAM

The Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) is a joint Air Force/Navy, Acquisition Category 1C program with Air Force as lead service. AMRAAM is the premier all-weather, all-environment, radar guided missile with improved capabilities against very low and high-altitude targets in an electronic attack environment. The current AMRAAM variant, the AIM-120D, delivers improved performance via Global Positioning System (GPS) aided navigation; two way datalink capability for enhanced aircrew survivability and improved network compatibility; and incorporates new guidance software that improves kinematic performance and weapon effectiveness. This Air Force/Navy program is structured in response to the Joint Service Operational Requirement Document and Mission Element Need Statement to develop an air superiority air-to-air missile with significant improvements in operational utility and combat effectiveness. The development program enhances AMRAAM capability and operational flexibility against current and projected threats, incorporates high payoff technology development, performs risk reduction activities, and investigates new variants and/or alternate missions that may use AMRAAM attributes. To maximize effectiveness of existing inventory and address findings from the field, the Navy and Air Force also develop, test, and field improvements via software upgrades into fielded missiles and/or hardware upgrades inserted into the production line. This program supports the integration of the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) into Air Force aircraft with analysis of Air Force unique applications, aircraft missile integration tasks, product improvement efforts including missile software upgrade development and procurement of hardware to support Air Force test and evaluation tasks. Leverages Digital acquisition tenets of open, agile and digital. This may include providing funds to prime contractors; program office contract support; facility, security and IT upgrades; common component development with other weapon systems to reduce redundant costs; and program management administration (PMA). This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** RTX / Raytheon (43.9, 82%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| System Improvement Program (SIP) | 22.6 | 24.5 | 27.1 |
| Test and Evaluation | 25.2 | 21.6 | 21.2 |
| Aircraft Integration | 4.1 | 4.4 | 5.0 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) is a joint Air Force/Navy, Acquisition Category 1C program with Air Force as lead service. AMRAAM is the premier all-weather, all-environment, radar guided missile with improved capabilities against very low and high-altitude targets in an electronic attack environment. The current AMRAAM variant, the AIM-120D, delivers improved performance via Global Positioning System (GPS) aided navigation; two way datalink capability for enhanced aircrew survivability and improved network compatibility; and incorporates new guidance software that improves kinematic performance and weapon effectiveness.

System Improvement Program (SIP) development efforts continually mature capabilities through software and/or hardware upgrades to maximize missile performance to address current and emerging threats. These missile performance improvements are incrementally fielded ensuring inventory viability into the future. SIP development contracts are cost type contract efforts.
