Raytheon AIM-9X destroys target in fourth test shot
Article Abstract:
The Raytheon AIM-9X heat-seeking air-to-air missile successfully destroyed a target aircraft on its fourth test firing from an F/A-18D Hornet. The latest version of the Sidewinder features a high off-boresight capability and smaller fins that result in less drag and greater speed. The weapon is compatible with the Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System being developed by the US Air Force.
