Ncade

In Aviation Week and Space technology (June 12, 2006) there is a mention of Raytheon's newest variant of Amraam called Ncade (Network Centric Air-borne Defense Element --wow thats a mouthfull). Ncade uses an Amraam first stage, a new second stage developed by Aerojet and a modified AIM-9X seeker. This missile is designed to engage missiles in their boost phase and it may also be used in cruise missile defense.
