"Mark" wrote in message . com... Would have to do a little research on this one, but I'll start with a guess... The interface with the aircraft may have changed from a 'vanilla' missile umbilical to the more advanced 1760 interface (such as used with AIM-120). The internal aircraft wiring associated with the 'smart' interface may have not been accounted for in the initial design (the short-range missile bays were dedicated to the AIM-9). That said, I'd be surprised that the "Group A" provisions (wiring) was not included as a 'hedge' against down the road changes such as this one... Another aspect to all of this could be the associated software code for proper interface between aircraft and missile and calculation/display of in/out of missile engagement zone for the missile. Since I saw the post thought I'd offer up some possibilities, subject to major correction of course by someone who knows something for sure.... It all reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where the conductor walks down the aisle calling, "Willoughby, next stop Willoughby ...". "Scott Ferrin" wrote in message ... AIM-9X "Integration of the missile on the Lockheed Martin F/A-22, which requires internal carriage of the missile, has been delayed at least until the spiral three (developmental) stage of the program around 2011." SEVEN Y-E-A-R-S???? What's the holdup? They've already fired guided -9Ms. |
