The US Air Force (USAF) is requesting information on potential modifications to the Northrop Grumman Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile-Extended Range (AARGM-ER), to make the weapon suitable for use by its Lockheed Martin F-35As. A request for information posted online by the service on 9 January indicates the proposed Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW) would "heavily leverage" the AARGM-ER design. The current missile is to be integrated on the US Navy's (USN's) Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler fleets, and also carried internally by its carrier-variant F-35Cs.
