" The resulting assessment was that the ASRAAM (as is) cannot meet the AIM-9X operational requirements in high off-boresight angle performance, infrared counter-countermeasures robustness, lethality, and interoperability." ~ www.fas.org...
After the US pulled out of the program they started the development of the AIM-9X, which is based on some of the ASRAAM technology:
- Raytheon (Philco/General Electric) AAM-N-7/GAR-8/AIM-9 Sidewinder
- AIM-9 SIDEWINDER * USA * ANTI-AIR
- MBDA (BAe Dynamics/Matra) AIM-132 ASRAAM
- FAS.org: AIM-9 Sidewinder
