Vidiš pukovniče i ja glavu razbijam već par sati. Prerano za Sidearm(prve probe 1981.), a prekasno za Fokus(kraj šezdesetih). Možda je ipak samo ispitivanje učinka nove bojeve glave. Nema preciznih podataka, samo ono u citatu.

Kupuju 1400 AIM-9X Block II i II+

Citat:The U.S. Navy intends to award the production of almost 1400 new AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missiles in Block II and Block II+ configurations.

The Naval Air Systems Command has announced in the last week notice posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website that this will be a new Fixed Price Incentive Firm (FPIF) contract for the United States Navy, United States Air Force, and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers.

According to notice , the Sidewinder production procurement will include a maximum quantity of 1,400 Tactical Missiles, Captive Air Training Missiles (CATMs), Special Air Training Missiles (NATMs) and Captive Test Missiles (CTMs) per lot, with associated spares, containers, training and test missiles, tooling and special test equipment, training kits, maintenance kits, and other related supplies and data

Ipak rade AIM-9 Block III ali "tajno"

Citat:Just on Aug. 29, 2019, Naval Air Systems Command announced its intention to negotiate a new deal with Raytheon to conduct "continued software support, future software growth development, software improvements, trade studies, technical support, and risk reduction efforts," as well as perform "trade-studies and analyses to investigate and support future capabilities" with regards to the AIM-9X. So it is clear that the AIM-9X is still very much a work in progress, with Block III-like features on the way.

Exactly how much extra range a Block III AIM-9X might offer remains unclear, but our sources have said the missiles could be able to fly as much as 50 percent further than what it can in its current form. The Navy itself said the goal was a 60 percent increase in total, which the missile would gain from the improved rocket motor, new flight programming, leveraging its cook-off sensor, and by receiving mid-course updates from its launch platform. Either way, this would equate to a huge boost in combat capability and it would push the AIM-9X even farther into the intermediate-range envelope than it already is.

Block II LOAL

Citat:With the addition of the data-link on AIM-9X Block II, the Sidewinder provides a lock-on-after-launch capability, meaning it can be fired at an enemy without first locking its seeker on to the target. Lock-on-after-launch capability is especially important for stealthy fighters with weapons bays, such as the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, but it also provides more flexible targeting for 4th generation fighters that mount their missiles externally.

In addition, the networked AIM-9X is far smarter than its predecessor and, paired with new software, its range is increased due to more intricate and specific flight models that the missile will employ depending on the tactical situation and data-linked telemetry updates from the aircraft it is launched from. Furthermore, the Block II AIM-9X allows for targeting of enemy aircraft even if the target is outside of the range of its seeker. The fighter will feed the missile telemetry from its sensors—primarily its radar, but potentially also its passive electronic warfare suite, and soon, at least in some cases, its IRST—until it flies close enough to the target to lock on with its own seeker.

This means that even in bad weather and obscured environments, the AIM-9X can be just as lethal at the edge of its engagement envelope. It also enables third party targeting data to feed to the launching aircraft, which could help cue the missile to targets a pilot cannot "see" using their own onboard sensors alone. This is especially useful when a fighter is operating in a stealthy, electromagnetically silent mode, in which its own radar would not be activated.

There is no missile on this planet that has developed as rich a heritage and as much success as the Sidewinder family of missiles. The type dates back to the dawn of missile technology and has evolved steadily ever since. Now available in the AIM-9X Block II form, that missile is already deep in its lifecycle and gaining exciting new capabilities that you can read all about here. Yet even as new short-range air-to-air missiles like the AIM-9X have eclipsed the prior AIM-9L/M Sidewinder series, there are still throngs of these older Sidewinders in stockpiles around the globe. With that in mind, Germany's Diehl Defense, which remains an OEM for the AIM-9L/M, came up with the idea of converting these missiles into laser-guided, low-collateral damage, highly precise air-to-ground weapons.
