The AIM-9M Sidewinder is an American short-range air-to-air missile, a much more modernized and improved variant in the AIM-9 Sidewinder lineup developed in the 1950s. Most models of Sidewinder missile make use of infrared homing systems, including the AIM-9M. The AIM-9M itself is an improvement over the AIM-9L, which itself was a major step in the direction of creating a more capable all-around anti-air missile.
