Raytheon Company's Surface Launched Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile successfully completed its first acquisition and tracking mission March 3, marking the first phase of system field testing at White Sands Missile Range, N.M.

Raytheon is committed to providing a reliable, affordable and technologically advanced air defense capability to meet U.S. Army needs."
