The AIM-120B was introduced in 1994 as an improved model. AIM-120B missile is reprogrammable not requiring hardware changes to change its software. Such capability allows software updates with ease. The AIM-120A missile is not reprogrammable. As of 2014, the AIM-120B is being phased out replaced by the C and D variants.

The AIM-120C missile is the latest AMRAAM variant and is reprogrammable like the AIM-120B. The AIM-120C has smaller control surfaces to fulfill F/A-22's internal carriage requirements and also features an improved warhead. The AIM-120C missile has been sold successfully to many countries in two main variants the AIM-120C5 and the AIM-120C7. Beginning in 2008 the AIM-120C was replaced by the AIM-120D as the standard production model for the AMRAAM missile.

On 11 August 2004, the UK MoD awarded Raytheon a $144 million contract to provide AIM-120 C-5 AMRAAM missiles as well as associated equipment and services. The contract funds a period of 10 years with options to increase it to 25 years. The AMRAAM is an interim solution to the BVRAAM (Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile) program which would be fulfilled with MBDA's Meteor long range missile.

As of April 2005, the US Air Force and US Navy AMRAAM missile production was expected to conclude by 2007. In December 2004 Raytheon received the last known contract from the US Air Force worth $200 million for the follow-on production of 434 additional missiles. On 29 September 2006, the US Air Force awarded Raytheon a $66 million procurement contract for 123 AIM-120C5 missiles, related services and equipment on behalf of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) to Saudi Arabia and Singapore. Deliveries were scheduled for completion November 2008 with the United States receiving 9 missiles.

The Surface Launched AMRAAM is an surface-to-air missile intended for several air defense systems such as the HUMRAAM, CLAWS, NASAMS and HAWK XXI. Overall performance and appearance are exactly the same of AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles excepting its maximum range that has been cut to 20-mile (33 km) due to the surface launch mode.

The SL-AMRAAM missile has been selected by Norway, Spain and the United States of America.

The P3I is an AMRAAM improvement program seeking to develop advanced capabilities such as improved range, software updates and counter-countermeasures. The P3I program was be the basis for future AMRAAMs such as the C5 and C7 variants as well as the AIM-120D.

The AIM-120D, formerly known as the AIM-120C8, is the latest development of the AMRAAM missile family designed and build by Raytheon and developed under P3I Phase 4 initiative. AIM-120D features a new navigation system and hardened design for internal weapons bay carriage. The United States Air Force (USAF) assessment of the AIM-120C variant on the F/A-22 Raptor aircraft determined that vibration levels in certain frequencies are harmful to the missile's electronics. AIM-120D AMRAAM missile variant tries to fix it. In April 2006 the USAF released that the AIM-120D was undergoing testing on the F-22 aircraft monitored by Raytheon at Edwards Air Force Base, California. AIM-120 new features encompass: an enhanced data link, improved kinematics and GPS Inertial Measurement Unit.

On 15 September 2006, Raytheon received a $113 million contract from the US Air Force for the supply of 12 AIM-120D AMRAAM Air Vehicles Instrumented (AAVIs), 50 AIM-120D Captive Air Training Missile, 104 AIM-120C7 AMRAAM Air Vehicles, and 112 Non-Developmental Item, Airborne Instrumentation Units (NDI-AIUs). The contract also provided funds for the AIM-120D production transition with AIM-120D deliveries beginning December 2007 through January 2009. This contract was part of the AIM-120 Lot 20 order and the first production contract for the AIM-120D missile.

The Future Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (FMRAAM) is a ramjet-powered variant of the AIM-120 missile with an estimated maximum range of 100 kilometers. The FMRAAM missile will feature a navigation system based on a combination of satellite-based Global Positioning System (GPS), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with a two-way data-link and an active radar seeker for the terminal phase of the flight. Raytheon offered the FMRAAM to the Royal Air Force but lost against the Meteor air-to-air missile. The US Armed Forces may procure the AMRAAM to counter 100+ km range air-to-air missiles being developed in several countries.
