Avenger
El M1097 Avenger es un sistema de misiles tierra-aire de corto alcance usado por el ejército de los Estados Unidos y el cuerpo de Marines de los Estados Unidos,diseñado para disparar el misil FIM-92 Stinger y proporciona protección móvil contra misiles de crucero, vehículos aéreos no tripulados, helicópteros y aviones que vuelan a menos de 3800 metros de altura y a una distancia de 10 Kilómetros. Este es uno de los sistemas antiaéreo colocado alrededor de El Pentágono durante los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001.
tinger missiles
The electric turret drive is the same as that used on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and is manufactured by General Dynamics, Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
Avenger carries eight Raytheon Stinger short-range air-defence missiles in two launch pods mounted either side of the turret. These pods have a range of elevation from -10° to +70°. Missile reload time is eight missiles in less than four minutes.
The current production Stinger missiles are the RMP (reprogrammable microprocessor) FIM-92D and the Block I FIM-92E. The Stinger missile has a two colour, infrared-ultraviolet rosette scan seeker, a 3kg fragmentation warhead, a maximum speed of Mach 2.2 and a maximum range 8km.
The Block I missile has a new roll frequency sensor and an improved processor. Funding for the Stinger block II missile, with an imaging infrared seeker based on a focal plane array, was halted in 2002.
