The Army wants to replace the Stinger missile
The US Army is seeking to replace the Stinger missile system with thousands of new missiles. This move comes as the threat of small and relatively inexpensive attack drones grows. The Stinger system has been in use since 1981 and has played a significant role in American air defense.
It has been used in various configurations, including being mounted on vehicles. Further details on the replacement plan are available from the source, including the history of the Stinger system and its use in previous conflicts. The Army's focus on air defense systems has increased in recent times, following a period of reduced attention during the Global War on Terrorism.
