how powerful is The Avengers air defense system
the Humvee Avenger is a modified form of the m1000 and 37 shelter carrier Humvee it is a short range
mobile anti-aircraft defense platform utilized by the United States Army Taiwanese army and
the Egyptian Army it is a relatively cost effective system using the existing humpy
chassis retaining most of the types capabilities while Fielding The Proven stinger missile system
a typical Avenger crew constitutes a driver and a turret operator or Gunner
most distinct characteristic of this Humvee is obviously it's one man 360 degree traversable
turret fitted onto the rear flapping the operator sits in the center of the unit under an angled
clear glass covering with two four shot missile launchers to either side of it each launcher is
fitted with four ready-to-fire Stinger short range surface-to-air missiles the Avenger allows for
firing on the go or from a stationary disposition providing a truly flexible and adaptable form of
air defense protection the turret can also be removed and used as a standalone ground-based
component or mounted to the variety of vehicle chassis available to the United
States Army while leaving the remaining Humvee m1037 chassis to be reused in other needed roles
the Avenger turret operator controls the rotation of the turret and utilizes an
optical sight in clear weather situations while a sensor package can be relied on for
use in other weather situations Additionally the operator can put his faith into the integrated
Avenger tracking system to take control of turret rotational functions or even operate
the turret from within the humpy passenger cabin if desired if all else fails a stinger missile
launcher is carried aboard Avenger Humvees should the turret fail or become damaged
the aluminum body fire and forget stinger missile itself is a vast upgrade from the
Cold War era red eye missiles it replaced Stingers had the ability to track and engage inbound enemy
aircraft including helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles or incoming missiles from any direction
not just from the rear as was the case with the red eyes and can sense both ultraviolet and
infrared energy forms the Stinger does showcase an operational limitation in the form of retaining a
minimum firing distance requirement before the weapon will arm as such the Avenger turret is
fitted with a single m3p series 12.7 millimeters 50 caliber heavy machine gun with an allotment of
200 rounds of ammunition for use on targets that come within this minimum arming range

while the Avenger is characterized as a short-range air defense system each
Stinger is ranged out to about five miles and at Target altitudes of up
to ten thousand feet the relatively new Slam room Humvee is a welcome addition
the medium range slime ROM system is intended to operate side by side with the Venture units and
not act as a direct replacement each slam ROM is equipped to fire up to six piece aim 100 m20m Ram
medium range surface-to-air missiles when utilized in conjunction with the Avenger ground forces have
a competent umbrella of protection at both short and medium ranges from incoming enemy attacks
