What Is AMRAAM?
AMRAAM is a dual-role missile designed for air-to-air and surface-launch engagements. It uses inertial guidance, midcourse updates and an onboard active radar to find and intercept its targets.
The missile serves as the baseline weapon on the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, or NASAMS, and has been integrated into variants of several fighter jets, including F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F-22 and Eurofighter Typhoon.
