Advanced Common Intercept Missile Demonstration (ACIMD) fit- test on F-14; the goal of China Lake's ACIMD was a long-range, highly capable, but smaller (Sparrow-sized) Phoenix follow-on for the outer-air-battle role; ACIMD incorporated advanced multimode-guidance, integral-rocket-ramjet propulsion, warhead/fuzing, and airframe/steering technologies--primarily China Lake developed.
