Un sostituto per l'AMRAAM

[Flaggy]

Sinceramente quel video è l'unico che ne parla mostrando solo immagini di repertorio... I test in volo comunque dovevano effettivamente cominciare nel 2021 e i primi aerei a riceverlo gli F-22A e gli F-18E.  L'F-35 vien dopo...

Insomma, se di stealth si tratta dovrebbe essere un F-22...

C'è ne un altro, e qui non sembrano immagini di repertorio

Perdonami, ma, a parte un disegnino più o meno fantasioso dell'AIM-260 dopo 30 secondi e un simulacro di un AARGM-ER (che non c'entra un tubo) per 8 minuti non si vede altro che AIM-120 e AIM-9. A ma sembrano anche queste solo immagini di repertorio..

Come mi pare scrivevamo da qualche parte altrove non c'è solo l'AIM-260...

Boeing has shown off a new long-range air-to-air missile design at the Air Force Association's annual Air, Space, and Cyber Conference, which opened today. 
The weapon, referred to as the Long-Range Air-to-Air Missile, or LRAAM, has a two-stage configuration with a "kill vehicle" attached to a booster section that falls away after it is burned out, something that has been seen in previous U.S. military air-to-air missile concepts.
A Boeing representative told The War Zone that the company had crafted the LRAAM design in response to a so-called Broad Area Announcement (BAA) from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) last year that asked companies to submit ideas to meet a host of advanced technologies desired for future long-range air-to-air missiles. 
AFRL said design submissions could be based around single and multi-stage rocket motors, as well as air-breathing engines, such as ramjets. 
However, it added that it was particularly interested in, among other things, throttleable “multi-pulse solid rocket motors” and novel “propellants, grain configurations, cases, and liners” that would be able to deliver greater speeds, as well as ranges, compared to existing weapons, such as the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM).

The range of current Air Force weapons compels pilots of stealth aircraft to get too close to their targets, risking that they’ll be seen and shot down, Air Combat Command boss Gen. Mark D. Kelly said Sep. 22. 
The service must have longer-range “fifth-generation weapons” to go with its fifth-gen combat aircraft, he said.
“We [take] a lot of bang out of our low-observable force because we push them into ranges where everyone” - even stealth aircraft - “is observable,” Kelly told reporters during a press roundtable at AFA’s Air, Space & Cyber conference. 
That means “we’re not going to get a good return on our investment” in fifth-gen or better fighters. 
Fifth-generation weapons “allow us more range, whether it’s new air-to-air or air-to-ground,” he said. 
The Air Force considers its F-22, F-35, and B-2 bombers to be “fifth generation” systems.
“I’m happy if it moves fast,” he said, because “any time we pull the trigger … we have to assume the target’s going to move between the time [the weapon] leaves the rail and the time it shows up at the target. And hypersonics and closer range shorten that time of flight.”
But, “it’s not exclusively hypersonics. We just have to make sure we can reach out and touch folks at a range that is equal to or exceeds their ability to reach out and touch us.”
The longest-range dogfight weapon in USAF’s inventory is the AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile, which Kelly noted goes back more than 25 years.
