Raytheon says it has successfully tested its AIM-120D AMRAAM from a U.S. Air Force F-15D Eagle fighter aircraft. Officials say the test flight marked a milestone for Raytheon with the technology's seventh completed test.
According to a news release the "initial analysis shows the missile achieved all primary test objectives."
