  B-9. THAAD fire control node. The primary fire control node components in each THAAD battery are the
  Air and Missile Defense Planning and Control System (AMDPCS) Version B and THAAD fire control and
  communications. The AMDPCS Version B serves as the battery CP. The THAAD fire control and
  communications component consists of a tactical operations station, launch control station, antenna support
  vehicle, cable support vehicle, 30-kilowatt power plant, and THAAD portable planner. The THAAD fire
  control and communications component supports engagement operations, force operations, embedded and
  netted embedded training, and interoperability. The fire control crew fights the air battle inside the tactical
  operations station and launch control station. The fire control section provides a THAAD portable planner to
  the CP for force operations and remotes a workstation into the CP for situational awareness of the air battle
  and system status.
  AVENGER
  B-10. The Avenger weapon system is a mobile lightweight, day or night, limited adverse weather fire unit
  used to counter enemy reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition efforts and low-level fixed- and
  rotary-wing threats. Avenger contains missile pods carrying Stinger infra-red homing, fire-and-forget
  missiles and a M3P .50 caliber machinegun mounted on a high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle (also
  known as HMMWV). It has on-board forward looking infra-red sensors to aid visual acquisition and
  identification of tracks. Avenger links to the forward area air defense (FAAD) C2 for air battle management,
  early warning and cueing, and aids for track identification. The Avenger system is air transportable by cargo
  helicopters (CH-47 and CH-53) and C-130, C-17, and C-5 aircraft. For more information on the Avenger
  system and Stinger see ATPs 3-01.64 and 3-01.18, respectively.
  B-11. Avengers are currently organized as battalions and batteries in Patriot/Avenger battalions,
  IFPC/Avenger battalions, and Avenger battalions and normally deploy as batteries or platoons. Avenger
  formations include the Avenger weapon system, Sentinel radars, and FAAD C2. Figure B-5 presents the
  Avenger system.
