THE US AIR Force has revealed that it has been secretly developing a new air-to-air missile to supersede the AIM- 120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM). The Lockheed Martin AIM-260 Joint Air Tactical Missile (JATM) is to be fielded initially by the USAF on its F-22A Raptors and by the US Navy on its F/A-18E/F Super Hornets in the forthcoming H16 System Configuration Set.
