The '''BEAM-4 Phantom''', commonly referred to as the '''BEAM 4''', is an {{wp|air-to-air missile|air-to-air}} developed by [[Cartadania]]n defense manufacturer, [[Angelico]], for {{wp|beyond-visual-range missile|beyond-visual-range}} operations. It has a diameter of {{convert|22|cm|in|sp=us}} and employs an active transmit-receive radar guidance system that uses a two-way data link based on {{wp|Link 22}} for all-weather, day-and-night operations. The missile is equipped with GPS-enhanced inertial measurement units that enable it to expand its no-escape envelope, thereby increasing its lethality. Additionally, it is designed with high-angle off-bore sight angling that enhances its precision during engagements. The missile is highly maneuverable, with the ability to engage targets via a {{wp|fire-and-forget}} approach. It can be launched from a range of platforms, including fighter aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. The BEAM 4's advanced guidance system provides situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities, enabling it to engage a diverse range of targets, including fast-moving aircraft and drones.

The BEAM 4 is able to connect with Cartadania's [[Governing Apparatus for Integrated Affairs|GAIA]] and GAIA Web for increased precision and awareness. It has been deployed on [[Aurora Aerospace F-26 Black Widow|F-26 Black Widow]] and [[Aurora Aerospace F-35 Relâmpago|F-35 Relâmpago]] platforms for testing, with plans to primarily integrate it with GAIA-equipped systems, but a non-GAIA variant is also in testing for export use. Nonetheless, it has proven very effective in all tests and scenarios. While the BEAM 4 has shown great effectiveness in air-to-air roles, its development beyond this role has been limited as of 2030. However, it has also been considered for multi-platform roles, demonstrating its versatility and potential for future use.
