AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile (JATM)
The AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile (JATM) is an American "beyond-visual-range"
air-to-air missile currently being developed by Lockheed Martin. The missile is designed
to address advanced threats, and is expected to replace the AIM-120 AMRAAM currently
in US service. Initial launch platforms are expected to be the U.S. Air Force F-22 and the
U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F. Future integration is planned with the F-35.
Very little has been disclosed about the AIM-260 JATM Missile, but it is expected to have
a range of 200 kilometers (108 nautical miles), and will travel at a speed between MACH 4
and MACH 5.
