  Short-Range Air Defense System Descriptions
  This appendix presents brief descriptions of SHORAD system capabilities: M-
  SHORAD, Avenger, Stinger, Sentinel, Land-based Phalanx Weapon System, and
  Forward Area Air Defense C2. SHORAD systems are generally considered to be
  tactical-level systems. However, this designation is scenario and situational dependent.
  Avenger defending the National Capital Region, for instance, is conducting a strategic
  mission.
  MANEUVER SHORT-RANGE AIR DEFENSE
  A-1. M-SHORAD (figure A-1) provides air defense protection of Stryker and Armor BCT maneuvering
  forces against fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and UASs throughout the range of military operations. It
  employs a mix of sensors and weapons. A mix of different sensors provides the capability to detect, identify
  and track a variety of aerial objects, including fast moving targets and small signature objects. A mix of
  different, selectable weapons enables the M-SHORAD gunner to precisely match munitions to targets,
  increasing efficiency and effectiveness against targets of all types.
  Figure A-1. Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense system
  A-2. The M-SHORAD system consists of a digitized Stinger Vehicle Universal Launcher, four Multi-
  Mission Hemispheric Radars, maneuver and Forward Area Air Defense C2 systems, and associated fire
  control, power generation, and related components on a Stryker vehicle. The launcher mounts four Stinger
  missiles, a 30-milimeter cannon, a 7.62-milimeter coaxial machine gun, and sensor system with electro-
  optical and infrared cameras for target acquisition and general situational awareness. The Multi-Mission
  Hemispheric Radars are small, fixed-position, active electronically-scanned array radars positioned on the
  front and back of the Stryker. The radars detect, track, and identify low-altitude air targets up to 360 degrees
