Raytheon Company's Rolling Airframe Missile Block 2 successfully completed its third guided test vehicle flight, further demonstrating the system's upgraded kinematic performance, guidance system and airframe capabilities. The test also verified the use of RAM production-representative hardware.
Raytheon was awarded a low-rate production contract this year calling for 51 RAM Block 2 missiles. The company is scheduled to deliver 25 Block 2 missiles during the integrated testing phase of this program.
The RAM Block 2 upgrade includes a four-axis independent control actuator system and an increase in rocket motor capability, increasing the missiles' effective range and delivering a significant increase in maneuverability. The improved missile also incorporates an upgraded passive radio frequency seeker, a digital autopilot and engineering changes in selected infrared seeker components.
