Raytheon, in collaboration with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Norwegian Armed Forces, has successfully conducted a flight test of an upgraded variant of the AMRAAM-Extended Range (ER) missile from a National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS).
The successful flight test showcases the improved capabilities of the upgraded AMRAAM-ER. The latest version of the said missile incorporates the guidance section of the AIM-120 C-8, along with a 10-inch rocket motor from Nammo and a 10-inch Control Actuator System, known as the Norwegian Propulsion Stack, developed by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
According to a relevant announcement, the Norwegian MoD has played a collaborative role in this innovative configuration.
The comprehensive testing phase included a test firing, during which the missile followed a preprogrammed flight path to validate its safe egress from the NASAMS launcher and overall performance.

The AMRAAM-ER is specifically designed for integration with the NASAMS launcher, providing enhanced air defence protection by intercepting targets at increased ranges and altitudes compared to the non-extended range AMRAAM.
NASAMS, a versatile medium-range air defence solution, is a collaborative effort between Raytheon and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace. This collaboration aims to bolster the capabilities of NASAMS to effectively address evolving complex threats.
