Successful Test of an AIM-9X Missile by a Raytheon-Led Team Demonstrates Potential for Low Cost Solution in Littoral Joint Battlespace
A Raytheon-led team successfully launched an AIM-9X from a stationary, vertical platform on Nov. 19.
The missile successfully locked on after launch and hit its target in a test of its potential launch from a submarine.
"This test is the first step toward an AIM-9X missile being launched vertically from a submarine," said John Cochran, the Raytheon IDS program manager.
