The F-35A can carry four of the smaller conventional AMRAAMs two in each internal weapons bay. The next production version of AMRAAM-ER will incorporate an AMRAAM-C8 guidance section and a new rocket motor made by Nammo of Norway, along with a new control actuation system made by Kongsberg.ĭickman says the company believes the US Air Force’s (USAF’s) F-35A could field two examples of the larger missile, one in each internal weapons bay. The baseline extended-range variant in production today, intended for the NASAMS battery, uses a Raytheon AMRAAM-C7 guidance section, and RIM-162 Evolved SeaSparrow missile rocket motor and control actuation system, Raytheon says. “So, that’s where you get your additional motor capability: a little bit of length and a little bit of diameter,” he says. The variant is about 3in wider in diameter than the 7in-diameter conventional missile.
