AIM-54 Phoenix Missile Description


            The AIM-54 Phoenix Missile is the Navy's only long-range air-to-air missile. It is an airborne weapons control system with multiple-target handling capabilities, used to kill multiple air targets with conventional warheads. Near simultaneous launch is possible against up to six targets in all weather and heavy jamming environments. The improved AIM-54 Phoenix Missile, the AIM-54C, can better counter projected threats from tactical aircraft and cruise missiles.
