The AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile (JATM) is an American beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) being developed and produced by Lockheed Martin. [3] Designed to address advanced threats, the missile is expected to replace or supplement the AIM-120 AMRAAM currently in US service.
To replace the ALCM, the USAF planned to award a contract for the development of the new Long-Range Stand-Off weapon in 2015. [6] Unlike the AGM-86, the LRSO will be carried on multiple aircraft. The LRSO program is to develop a weapon that can penetrate and survive integrated air defense systems and prosecute strategic targets.
On 11 August 2004, the design of the Shahab-3 missile was modified (often referred to as Shahab-3M).
