The SLAMRAAM (Surface Launched Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, or AMRAAM) was the United States Army program to develop a Humvee-based surface-to-air missile launcher for the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, manufactured by Raytheon Technologies and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace. Surface-launched AMRAAM missile was first used in Kongsberg's NASAMS air defense system, fielded in 1995.

Although the US Army canceled the SLAMRAAM program in 2011, the mobile launcher became part of NASAMS configuration options.
