Now that is curious. I wonder what it is? Classified, yes, I know.

Probably AIM-260

Definetly AIM-260 by the sounds of things I would think quellish. At least that is what I am thinking at present.

It surprises me that an AAM would be classified.

I know, right? Usually DoD is a shining beacon of transparency.

Sometimes you just need to burn a billion dollars without too many people asking questions, right?

It's the new normal for the USAF. Heard much about LREW? Nope. AIM-260? Not much more.

And there a slew of other AAM-related programs where essentially all we know is the name. It's not even clear which are stand-alone missiles and which are just technology development efforts to feed into other programs.

Let's wait and see what happens to the AIM-260 whether it is due to get revealed. The next year is going to be very interesting I would think.
