Meanwhile, Air Force Magazine reports Peregrine “will cost ‘significantly less’ to buy and maintain than the AIM-120 or AIM-9X, and is faster to develop, thanks to ready-made components and additive manufacturing.” That’s important because the cost of missiles, like fighter jets, is skyrocketing: AIM-120C7, the latest version of the AMRAAM was recently sold to Japan and Hungary for between $2 and $2.7 million each including missiles, software, supporting equipment, and contractor field support. According to Raytheon, the Peregrine air-to-air weapon is faster and more maneuverable than the present inventory of medium-range, air-to-air missiles and boasts an advanced, miniaturized sensor, guidance, and propulsion systems for detecting and tracking moving or stationary targets at any time of day and in any weather condition.. It can be air launched from a standard fighter aircraft such as the F-16 or the F/A-18. Raytheon unveils Peregrine medium-range air-to-air missile at #ASC19. Although capable, the AMRAAM is basically a 30-year-old missile designed for the old days when missiles were carried outside the aircraft. Here's the missile that will seriously boost the fighter jet's firepower. Details on when the weapons might be available for testing and, eventually, sale were not released by the company. Raytheon's latest missile, the Peregrine, is a lightweight air-to-air missile, weighing about 150 pounds and designed for use on fourth- and fifth-generation fighter aircraft. The new Peregrine missile (above) is designed to fit in the weapons bays of stealth fighters, allowing them to carry more missiles than ever before. If Air Force fighters can suddenly carry many more missiles, the service needs to be able to afford them.

Aaron Mehta is Deputy Editor and Senior Pentagon Correspondent for Defense News, covering policy, strategy and acquisition at the highest levels of the Department of Defense and its international partners. The missile is described as having very good maneuverability in the “endgame” stage, giving it the ability to chase down aircraft trying to evade it in the moments before intercept. "Peregrine will allow U.S. and allied fighter pilots to carry more missiles into battle to maintain air dominance," Dr. Thomas Bussing, the vice president of Raytheon Advanced Missile … That could enable American and allied air forces to fight—and win—even outnumbered. The missile is also cheaper to buy and maintain than existing missiles, making it easier to maintain large inventories.

The Defense Department would likely welcome the introduction of a new, lighter alternative to those legacy weapons, as Peregrine appears to be. Six BQM-145As with plastic-composite airframes then under construction were later completed, with first flight of a composite BQM-145A in 1997. The BQM-145A has some broad similarities to the Scarab, with a similar configuration except that it has twin air intakes on either side of the fuselage, just forward of the wing roots. But that comes at a cost.
