Default Raytheon gets DARPA boost for AMRAAM, HARM replacement

"Raytheon has received a boost in the
race to develop a successor to two of
its most successful missiles - the
AIM-120 AMRAAM and the AGM-88
high-speed anti-radiation missile (HARM).

The US Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency has awarded the
company a $21 million deal to start
developing the triple target terminator (T3)
missile, a long-range weapon designed
to be carried internally by stealth
fighters."

Is this going to end up being a "jack of
all trades, master of none" type of
weapon that will end up being too
expensive to procure?

Out of curiosity, how does the stowed envelope for the MDBA meteor
compare with the AIM-120C for internal stowage? Airframe length and body
diameter look compatible but the intakes make it look like the 120C with
clipped fins and wings has a smaller overall envelope.
