Life is about to get harder for low-flying MiGs, Hind gunships, and drones opposing the US Army. On Wednesday, the government officially awarded General Dynamics a highly-anticipated contract to mass-produce the Interim Maneuver SHORAD vehicle.
This variant of the 8×8 armored Stryker boasts an anti-aircraft radar, a 30mm autocannon, and a missile launcher capable of launching Stingers and Hellfires. (A laser-armed Stryker variant is also in development). IM-SHORAD will replace the aging, unarmored, and undergunned Avenger, a Stinger-shooting variant of the Humvee, which has filled the Short-Range Air Defense role since the Cold War. Its Hellfires also give it significant capability to kill tanks.
The first combat unit to receive IM-SHORAD is already training on prototype vehicles at White Sands, the Army’s director of modernization for air & missile defense told me recently. Live-fire training will start in early November, Brig. Gen. Brian Gibson said.
The nine prototypes now being used for training and testing are basically identical to the final production version, but they were bought under a separate contract. The award announced yesterday is the production contract.
Formally, it’s an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract - although there’s a pretty definite plan to deliver 144 vehicles over five years for $1.2 billion. That’s just under $8.5 million apiece, but the contract includes testing, spares, and other support as well as the vehicle itself.
Stinger Missile
Lightweight, portable air defense
The Stinger® missile is a lightweight, self-contained air defense system that can be rapidly deployed by ground troops. Combat proven in four major conflicts, the weapon has more than 270 fixed- and rotary-wing intercepts to its credit. It's deployed in 19 nations and with the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps.
RMP variant
The Stinger-Reprogrammable Microprocessor, or RMP, missile has a greater than 90 percent success rate in reliability and training tests. Its supersonic speed, agility and a highly accurate guidance and control system give the weapon an operational edge against cruise missiles and all classes of aircraft. The system is also used on Apache helicopters for air-to-air engagements.
Counter-UAS
In 2019, the U.S. Army began retrofitting its Stinger missiles with proximity fuzes, which allow missiles to destroy unmanned airborne systems with direct hits or by detonating near them. A pair of Stinger missiles intercepted two drones using proximity fuzes during an Army test in 2017.
The modified missile offers ground troops better defense against small, agile threats.
