"This test involved the successful imaging at close range of a boosting Orion sounding rocket by an NCADE seeker equipped AIM-9X missile launched from an F-16 aircraft. Although not unexpected, the subsequent intercept destroyed the target."

Aim 9's are still used but not as often, theyre aren't very reliable.
Most pilots when they fire the aim-9 sidewinder they fire 2 or 3 of em to hope that 1 of them will function properly. They usually won't keep a target lock or detonate.
