The AMRAAM STORES format is composed of the missile weapon type acronym (e.g. The STORES format when AMRAAM is the selected weapon is shown below. The default RWS SET parameters for the AIM-120 as follows: Once an AMRAAM is selected, the Radar search parameters can be changed, and changing the selected AMRAAM station does not change Radar parameters. Upon initial AMRAAM selection via the Weapon Select switch, the Radar is initialized with the RWS SET parameters, provided the AMRAAM was selected from another Master Mode or another A/A weapon, and the Radar is not in STT or TWS. Initial selection of AIM-120 (via the Weapon Select switch) from either A/G or NAV modes, also initializes the RDDI to the Attack format if it is not already being displayed on another DDI, and initializes the Radar to Range While Search using the SET Function if the Radar is not already operating in TWS or STT modes. In the A/A master mode, The AIM-120 may also be selected by depressing the associated AM push button along the top-row of the STORES format Subsequent selection with the Weapon Select switch steps the priority station to a different AIM-120 if available. When the AIM-120 is selected by this method, A/A master mode is entered automatically if the aircraft is not already in the A/A master mode, The A/A master mode light is illuminated and A/G or NAV master mode is deselected. The AIM-120 AMRAAM missile is selected when the Weapon Select switch SHIFT+ CTRL+ 3 on the flight control stick is moved to the right. Fuselage AIM-120 are mounted on the LAU-127 launcher which is in-turn mounted to the SUU-80.
Two LAU-116 receptacles mate with aircraft disconnect plugs to provide AIM-120 signals to/from the fuselage command signal encoder-decoder and power for the AIM-7s and LAU-116 launchers. AIM-120 fuselage AMRAAMs are loaded on the LAU-116. 4.3.4 Normalized In-Range Display (NIRD)ĪIM-120s can be loaded on left and right fuselage "cheek" stations 5 and 7 and/or all wing pylons at stations 2,3,4,8,9 and 10.4.3.1 Allowable Steering Error Circle/Steering Dot.The AMRAAM missile can be a "fire and forget" weapon since it has an active seeker, however it is preferred that post-launch targeting is maintained at least to the point where the missile seeker has transitioned to and active phase. Radar TWS mode has been optimized to maintain multiple trackfiles, while supporting the AMRAAMs inflight with post-launch data link. The AMRAAM missile does not require continuous Radar illumination on the target as is required for Sparrows, and therefore it is the weapon of choice for multi-target launch scenarios. The Superbug can currently carry up to 8 AMRAAMs and can support up to 8 AMRAAMs inflight at one time with post-launch data link. WDU-41/B, 40 lb (18.1 kg) HE blast/fragmentation Beyond-visual-range missiles, coupled with long-range active electronically scanned array radar, such as the Raytheon APG-82(V)1, are seen as a way to keep fourth-generation combat aircraft relevant.Medium-range, active radar homing air-to-air missile The ability to hit a target with an air-to-air missile at longer ranges is especially important for non-stealthy, fourth-generation fighters, such as the F-15, which can be more easily spotted by an adversary at a distance. The USAF plans to replace its ageing F-15C fleet with the newer F-15EX Eagle II variant. The F-15C can carry up to eight AMRAAMs under its body and wings. All fighter aircraft from the US Navy, US Marine Corps and USAF use the air-to-air missile. The AIM-120 AMRAAM is radar-guided and can strike targets beyond-visual range as well as within-visual range. “This test effort supported requests from the for ‘long range kill chain’ capabilities,” says Major Aaron Osborne of the 28th Test and Evaluation Squadron. The USAF did not disclose what variant of the AIM-120 was fired or what modifications where made to the missile. However, the exact range of the missile is classified, due to concerns about giving away information about combat aircraft limitations. The range of the AIM-120D, the latest variant of the AMRAAM, has been reported to be about 87nm (161km).
