Describe the AIM-120 AMRAAM.

Explanation:
AIM-120 AMRAAM is a beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile that uses an active radar seeker in the nose, allowing it to home in on and track a target after launch without continuous guidance from the shooter—fire-and-forget capability. During flight it uses onboard guidance and can receive midcourse updates from the launching aircraft or a networked source, enabling extended range engagements. Variants improve range and performance, and the weapon is designed for use on modern fighters with high off-boresight targeting, often paired with helmet-mounted sights for rapid target acquisition. This makes it the long-range, all-weather option in the air-to-air arena, unlike short-range infrared-guided missiles or older semi-active radar missiles, and it’s unrelated to anti-ship cruise missiles.
