Aviation Week reported that the Navy announced the weapon at the Tailhook Symposium on August 22.

The weapon is intended for use with the F\/A-18, F-35 and the planned F\/A-XX family, covering fourth-, fifth- and sixth-generation aircraft. Breaking Defense reported a stated length of 13.5 feet and a diameter of 13.5 inches, while also noting that further capability and deployment details remain classified.<\/p>\n<p>The limited public information is important. Neither the official listing nor the reports reviewed establish a confirmed range, propulsion configuration, manufacturer or service-entry date. Those gaps mean that search results describing a full performance profile should be treated carefully unless the Navy releases supporting documentation.<\/p>\n<p>For now, AIM-424 Malice is best understood as a named US Navy development and test programme rather than an operational missile with a fully disclosed capability set. The disclosure gives observers a new designation to track and signals the Navy\u2019s interest in longer-range air-to-air weapons, while the aircraft integration references show the programme is being considered across multiple generations of fighters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-center code-block-4\">\n<div style=\"max-width:760px;margin:18px auto;padding:16px 18px;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #dadce0;border-radius:16px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;box-sizing:border-box;\">\n<div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:14px;\">\n<div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:12px;min-width:0;\"><img width=\"696\" height=\"696\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Zoom Bangla News\" style=\"width:48px;height:48px;border-radius:50%;object-fit:cover;display:block;flex-shrink:0;\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/inews.zoombangla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zoombangla_org_logo_696-yoast.png\"\/><\/p>\n<div style=\"min-width:0;\">\n<p>\nZoom Bangla News<\/p>\n<p>\ninews.zoombangla.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?cs=0&amp;hl=en&amp;q=inews.zoombangla.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"background:#1a73e8;color:#fff;text-decoration:none;font-size:14px;font-weight:600;padding:10px 18px;border-radius:10px;display:inline-flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;white-space:nowrap;flex-shrink:0;\"><br \/>\nFollow<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:14px;padding-top:14px;border-top:1px solid #e5e7eb;text-align:center;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#111827;line-height:1.35;\">\nFollow iNews Zoombangla On Google<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 auto 12px;font-size:13px;line-height:1.6;color:#4b5563;max-width:620px;\">\nOpen the Google follow page and tap the checkmark option to receive more updates from iNews Zoombangla in your Google news feed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?cs=0&amp;hl=en&amp;q=inews.zoombangla.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"display:block;text-decoration:none;max-width:640px;margin:0 auto;\" aria-label=\"Follow iNews Zoombangla On Google\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" height=\"123\" width=\"653\" alt=\"Follow iNews Zoombangla On Google\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:12px;border:1px solid #dfe1e5;display:block;\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/inews.zoombangla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1-17.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><input id=\"daextamp-post-id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"3270974\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AIM-424 Malice missile has emerged from a US Navy disclosure about a new long-range air-to-air weapon under development and flight testing.
