The Block 6 introduces new and updated sub-systems, and replaces external cooling with a new internal cooler. The original Raytheon seeker has been replaced with a new [[UK]]-built seeker of higher resolution. There are no US-made components, meaning that it does not come under [[ITAR]] restrictions and can therefore be exported without US approval.<ref name="BLOCK6">{{cite journal |last=Allison |first=George |date=22 October 2021 |title=ASRAAM Block 6 to enter service on F-35 and Typhoon by 2024 |url=https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/asraam-block-6-to-enter-service-on-f-35-and-typhoon-by-2024/ |url-status=live |journal=UK Defence Journal |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211024055316/https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/asraam-block-6-to-enter-service-on-f-35-and-typhoon-by-2024/ |archive-date=24 October 2021 |accessdate=24 October 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2 May 2022 |title=ASRAAM Block 6 enters service on Typhoon |url=https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/asraam-block-6-enters-service-on-typhoon/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220502152133/https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/asraam-block-6-enters-service-on-typhoon/ |archive-date=2 May 2022 |access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref>
