There's also a new extended-range version of AMRAAM (AMRAAM-ER): "AMRAAM ER is made up of the front-end of an AMRAAM missile and the back-end – or the rocket motor – of Raytheon's Evolved Sea Sparrow missile (ESSM), Raytheon's Michael High said in a Sept. 28 interview. The configuration gives the missile a 50 percent increase in maximum range and 70 percent increase in maximum altitude."
