SLAMRAAM

TEWKSBURY, Mass., Nov. 3, 2005 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company's Surface Launched Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (SLAMRAAM) program received the go-ahead to continue further software build and fire unit development after conducting a successful system/software requirements review and a successful critical design review.

Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems' Surface Launched AMRAAM system of systems provides the warfighter a tailorable, state of the art air defense system that can defeat current and emerging cruise missile and a wide range of air breathing threats.

"These reviews were the result of close collaboration with our government partners to provide an effective and fully-integrated mobile air defense solution to the warfighter," said James Wells, Raytheon IDS SLAMRAAM program manager. "This system is very important to our joint warfighter because it maximizes the warfighter's capability against the current and evolving low- altitude cruise missile threats, improves system survivability and provides growth capabilities through an open architecture-based integrated fires control network."
