 The AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) is a versatile and highly effective missile that has been in use by the United States and its allies since the early 1990s. It is a radar-guided missile that is capable of engaging a wide range of targets, including aircraft, UAVs, and cruise missiles, at ranges of up to 100 miles. History: The AMRAAM missile was developed by Hughes Aircraft Company, now Raytheon, in the 1980s as a replacement for the AIM-7 Sparrow missile. The Sparrow had been in use for decades, but it was becoming increasingly obsolete as new generations of aircraft and missiles emerged that were faster and more maneuverable. The AMRAAM was designed to be a highly effective beyond-visual-range missile that could be launched from a variety of platforms, including fighter jets and ground-based air defense systems. It features an active radar seeker that can track targets even in challenging environments, such as in the presence of electronic countermeasure
