Research on the Development of New Generation Air-to-Air Missile Abroad

Abstract

In order to meet the requirements of informationized and intelligent air warfare characterized by system confrontation, countries all over the world keep pushing forward the new concept of air-to-air missile. The US Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance(NGAD) project sets up Air Dominance Air-to-Air Weapon program to explore and integrate new missile concepts for its next generation stealth fighter aircraft, examples include the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile(JATM) and Modular Advanced Mission(MAM). At the same time, the US Air Force has vigorously promoted missile digital engineering, for example Pathfinder projects such as Weapon ONE have been launched, utilizing digital twin technology to quickly enhance weapon combat capabilities and improve research and acquisition processes.France and Britain are developing much of the next generation missile technologies under Materials and Components for Missiles, Innovation and Technology Partnership(MCM ITP)and Complex Weapon Innovation and Technology Partnership(CW ITP) projects. Russia, Israel, India and Japan are also developing their own new generation of air-to-air missile. The emergence of a large number of new technologies promotes the rapid development of air-to-air missile. The anti-stealth, anti-jamming performance and the level of miniaturization, networking, multi-purpose, digitalization and intelligence for the new air-to-air missile to adapt to the complex combat environment. In the future, air-to-air missile will be given new missions with new attitudes and play a greater role in the air combat system.
