One question about ESSM I have regards AMRAAM. I know a surface launched version of the latter exists, NASAMS and SLAMRAAM, and that Standard SM-6 basically uses the guidance system from AIM-120, but has there been any real attempt to navalize the weapon itself, maybe combining it with ESSM? I know there is supposedly an advanced version of ESSM in the works, a Block II, for sometime in the 2020s, so mightn't that be it?
Maybe incorporating some sort of dual-mode guidance utilizing both the active radar of the AIM-120 and an advanced IR sensor.

Someone on another board (Tank-Net) was commenting SLAMRAAM (SL-AMRAAM?) was basically mating the ESSM body with the AMRAAM seeker head.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."
