Boeing’s New Air To Air Missile Concept for US Air Force

Boeing has received a new contract from the U.S. Air Force for work related to the development of both compact and very long-range air-to-air missile designs derived from a modular missile concept the company unveiled last year.
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded Boeing a contract valued at $9.8 million to "investigate advanced missile sub-system components to support the Compact Air-to-Air Missile and Extended Range Air-to-Air Missile Systems" yesterday, according to the Pentagon's daily contracting notice. The deal covers work through September 28, 2027 and "this award is the result of a white paper from Broad Agency Announcement," the announcement also noted.
The notice does not include any specific details about the Compact Air-to-Air Missile (CAAM) or the Extended Range Air-to-Air Missile (ERAAM) designs, or proposed designs, as they might exist now. However, Boeing has confirmed "the Compact Air-to-Air Missile and Extended Range Air-to-Air Missile is related to the LRAAM [Long-Range Air-to-Air Missile] concept we first displayed last year," which "we developed that concept as part of our response to the Broad Agency Announcement noted in the award announcement."
Boeing's Long-Range missile concept, as it has been shown publicly, consists of two core components, a "kill vehicle" and a booster section, both of which share a highly common physical architecture.
