 Linebacker
(M6) Air Defense System – a variant of the Bradley fighting
vehicle family integrates Stinger surface-to-air missiles on a
modified M2-series vehicle. Unlike the standard Bradley, the
Linebacker replaces the external TOW antitank missile launcher
with a launcher carrying four ready-to-fire Stinger missiles. (The
vehicle has a basic load of 10 Stingers.) The Linebacker’s sensor
suite includes optical, TV and forward-looking infrared systems.
The vehicle integrates into the Forward Area Air Defense (FAAD)
system trough combat net data networking. Position reporting is
provided autonomously, vie the Enhanced Position Location
Reporting System (EPLRS). |
