The world’s most advanced fighter jet needs the most advanced weapons.

Raytheon Technologies is providing precision munitions for firepower, a system that delivers real-time information from six cameras to a pilot's helmet, and an advanced landing system for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

“It is a truly remarkable platform,” said Stan Gorenc, a retired U.S. Air Force major general and now an international business development manager at Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a business of Raytheon Technologies. “We continue to work closely with (aircraft manufacturer) Lockheed Martin to help make the F-35 the world’s most advanced fighter.”

The F-35 carries these Raytheon Technologies weapons:

AIM-9X® missile: The AIM-9X Sidewinder missile is the first short-range air-to-air missile to be used on the F-35. The Air Force, U.S. Navy and Raytheon Technologies have successfully test-fired an AIM-9X Block I missile at a target in the air from an F-35A aircraft.

The F-35 can carry up to two AIM-9X missiles on its wings and four AIM-120 AMRAAM® missiles internally. Raytheon Technologies is continuing to test-fire and equip aircraft with the AIM-9X missile, with introduction across the F-35 fleet expected in 2020.

AMRAAM missile: The AMRAAM missile is operational on all F-35 variants. It’s the only radar-guided air-to-air missile cleared to fly on the F-35.

JSM missile: The Joint Strike Missile is the only fifth-generation cruise missile that will be carried by the F-35, and it will also be available for use on other aircraft intended for Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare applications.

The missile’s design will allow it to be carried internally on the F-35, which helps increase the aircraft’s stealth capabilities. The JSM missile is suitable for use on the F-35’s A and C variants.
