policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve

range, ground-based, air defense missile capable in all-weather against
multiple targets in a sophisticated electronic attack environment.
AMRAAM-ER utilizes an active C-7 or C-8 seeker and warhead joined with
a new control section and rocket motor that provides extended range and
altitude, higher speed and maneuverability, and has been extensively
tested and proven. The AIM-120C-8 is a form, fit, function refresh of
the AIM-120C-7 and is the next generation to be produced.
The Sensitivity of Technology Statement contained in the original
