TPM-2A3 update

The TPM-2 has been updated to A3 standard which has become the standard production type with immediate effect. A3's changes are mostly software updates. 14 bugs/issues have been dealt with plus target data filtering has been improved to better handle decoys and ECM. A more efficient engine burn algorithm has been written to increase range by 7% on average. These software improvements are also being rolled out to the stock of TPM-2A2s.

Where the A3 also differs is in some refinements to the missile release mechanism, the engine outlet (to reduce IR signature) and a reorganised internal space. A slightly larger warhead is currently being developed to fit into the larger space available and will be retrofitted to A3s at a later stage.
