Raytheon Delivers 3,000th AIM-9X Short-Range Missile

Used By US Navy For Air-To-Air Combat

Raytheon announced this week it recently achieved a significant production milestone, with the delivery of the 3,000th AIM-9X short-range air-to-air missile.

"The 3,000th delivery is yet another measure that the AIM-9X is a mature system warfighters know they can rely on," said Capt. Jeffrey Penfield, the US Navy's air-to-air missile program manager. "Achieving this milestone means American and allied aviators are fully equipped to continue their critical advantage in the within-visual-range fight."

The AIM-9X is an infrared-guided air-to-air missile. Raytheon states the AIM-9X offers the warfighter unmatched maneuverability, off-boresight capability, and speed.

"Every delivery is made possible thanks to the hard work of our US Navy partner, our eight international customers, our employees and our suppliers," said Dave Adams, Raytheon's AIM-9 program director. "Everyone pulls together to ensure the men and women going in harm's way have the most capable within-visual-range missile in the world."
