Air Force Seeking Faster, Longer-Range Air-to-Air Missiles

The Air Force is seeking industry input on a new class of air-to-air missiles, which would be faster and longer-ranged than the AIM-120 and AIM-9X that currently equip its fighter fleet. It’s not clear, though, how the new weapons would join a portfolio where there are several new missiles already underway—some of which seem to match the description available from industry already.
