Yes exactly. We don't know. But there are two considerations that they would have to account for. One is maneuverability at altitude and across the entire envelope range. There it would need to meet or improve on AMRAAM's performance. Second is HOBS and off-axis capability. This is where AIM-120 has improved as it has evolved, but the AF likely wants even more. Would be interesting to learn how they designed for those considerations once we know more about the design. We will have to wait for more info..or that info is already there and we have to just find it...
