Modern, Versatile and Proven

The Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM®) is the world's most sophisticated air dominance weapon. With more than 25 years of design, upgrades, testing and production, the AIM-120 continues to meet all warfighter requirements. Its capabilities have been fully demonstrated in more than 3,900 test shots and 10 combat victories.

The AMRAAM is a versatile and proven weapon with operational flexibility in a wide variety of scenarios, including air-to-air and surface-launch engagements. In the surface launch role, AMRAAM is the baseline weapon on the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS).

In the air-to-air role, no other missile compares to AMRAAM. The weapon's advanced active guidance section provides aircrew with a high degree of combat flexibility and lethality. Its mature seeker design allows it to quickly find targets in the most combat challenging environments.

Procured by 37 countries including the U.S., the combat-proven AMRAAM has been integrated onto the F-16, F-15, F/A-18, F-22, Typhoon, Gripen, Tornado and Harrier. The AIM-120C5 and AIM-120C7 are fully integrated on the F-35 and support USMC's F-35B initial operational capability as the only air-to-air missile qualified on the F-35.
