===FMRAAM=== The FMRAAM (Future Medium Range Air to Air Missile) was a modified ramjet powered version of the AMRAAM that was conceived during the mid-1990s to fulfill British requirements for a new longer range missile on their new Eurofighter Typhoon fighter.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-Defence-Weekly-96/HUGHES-PITCHES-MISSILE-AT-FMRAAM-PROJECT.html|title=Hughes pitches missile at FMRAAM project, Europe|date=September 11, 1996|work=Jane's Defence Weekly|publisher=Jane's Information Group|access-date=2013-02-11|archive-date=2013-04-11|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130411044411/http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-Defence-Weekly-96/HUGHES-PITCHES-MISSILE-AT-FMRAAM-PROJECT.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The FMRAAM was to use the [[Aérospatiale]] liquid fueled [[Ramjet for Small Calibre|RASCAL]] (Ramjet for Small Calibre) propulsion system.
