In the 1980s, NATO countries had a Family of Weapons Memorandum of Agreement that the United States would develop a medium-range air-to-air missile (the AIM-120 AMRAAM) to replace the AIM-7 Sparrow, and Britain and Germany would develop a short-range air-to-air missile (the ASRAAM) to replace the AIM-9 Sidewinder.

Germany left the ASRAAM project in the early 1990s after experiencing technical and funding issues, and in the spring of 1995 initiated a separate project, the IRIS-T. This decision was motivated by new insights into the performance of the Russian Vympel R-73 (AA-11 'Archer') missile carried by the MiG-29s which Germany inherited during reunification. Specifically, Germany wanted to redesign the ASRAAM to match or exceed the maneuverability of the Archer (which had been seriously underestimated by NATO), while Britain favored a high-speed, low-drag solution with relatively limited maneuverability but significantly extended range compared to the Sidewinder. As the two countries could not come to any agreement on this issue, Germany chose to terminate its involvement in the ASRAAM program and developed the completely new IRIS-T missile .

Due to the numerous developmental delays caused by the British-German bickering over ASRAAM design with no solution in sight and in light of threat of AA-11 Archer, the U.S. could not wait any longer and began development an improved version of the Sidewinder, the AIM-9X in 1990. The UK sought a new source for the ASRAAM seeker and selected a Hughes Focal Plane Array. Somewhat ironically, Hughes used the same technology in their winning submission for AIM-9X so the ASRAAM and the AIM-9X both use the same Hughes-developed imaging infrared seeker head. Raytheon also proposed a seeker for ASRAAM and submitted an AIM-9X proposal, but was not selected. However, Raytheon ultimately purchased Hughes and is now the producer of seekers for both ASRAAM and AIM-9X. After the ASRAAM program was revived, the US considered it as a candidate SRM, but did not agree with the British deemphasis on maneuverability after AA-11 Archer perfromance was better understood.

[编辑] 特性

The main improvement compared to the existing AIM-9L/M 響尾蛇 is a new 焦點平面陣列 (focal plane array, FPA) (解析度 128x128 的圖像式紅外) 尋標器 developed by Hughes before they were acquired by Raytheon.

這種尋標頭有更長的搜程, 更高的反反制能力, 接近 90 度的照門外鎖定能耐, 甚至可以指定它瞄準飛機的某部份 (像座艙, 引擎...等等).

The ASRAAM also has a 射後鎖定 (Lock-On After Launch, LOAL) ability which is a distinct advantage when the missile is carried in an internal bay such as in the upcoming F-35 Lightning II.

[编辑] ASRAAM P3I

In 1995, Hughes and British Aerospace collaborated on the "P3I ASRAAM" version of ASRAAM as a candidate for the AIM-9X program. The P3I would have been very much like the AIM-132, but with the addition of thrust vectoring to provide increased agility and to carry a larger warhead to meet the requirements expressed by the US Navy led AIM-9X program. The ultimate winner was the Hughes submission using the same seeker but utilizing the existing AIM-9M rocket motor, fuze and warhead, which was an US Air Force stipulation to ease the logistics burden and save by reutilizing the as much of the existing AIM-9 Sidwinder as possible as remaining assets in US inventory numbered well over 20,000.
