Once fired, the Stinger uses proportional     navigation algorithms to guide the missile to a predicted intercept point.     The Stinger missile can be used as a man portable air defense system (MANPAD)     when the weapon is fired from the gunner’s shoulder, mounted aboard the Avenger     weapons system, or mounted in the light armored vehicle-air defense variant     (LAV-AD).[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Stinger is     a true “fire and forget” missile, requiring no inputs from the gunner     once the weapon is fired. This allows the gunner to take cover, move to an     alternate position, or engage additional targets. The Stinger also possesses     an integral identification, friend or foe (IFF) subsystem to assist the gunner     in identifying friendly aircraft.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The launch motor     ejects the missile from the launch tube. The missile coasts a safe distance     (about 9 meters) from the gunner before the dual thrust flight motor ignites     and provides a sustained 22 gravity acceleration that arms the missile. After     the gunner arms the missile, a sustained flight phase maintains missile velocity     until the propellant is consumed. Then the missile enters a free flight period     in which the motor has burned out, but the missile maintains a degree of     maneuverability prior to interception or self destruction.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The warhead consists     of a fuze assembly and the equivalent of one pound of high explosives encased     in a pyrophoric titanium cylinder. The fuze is extremely safe and makes the     missile exempt from any hazards of electromagnetic radiation to ordnance     conditions. The warhead can be detonated by penetrating the target, impacting     the target, or self-destruction. Self-destruction occurs 15 to 19 seconds     after launch.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Type: Short range     air-defense missile   Entered Army service: 1981   Propulsion: Dual thrust solid fuel rocket motor   Length: 5 feet (1.5 meters)   Width: 5.5 inches (13.96 centimeters)   Weight: 12.5 pounds (5.68 kilograms)   Weight fully armed: 34.5 pounds (15.66 kg)   Range: 1 to 8 kilometers   Ceiling 10,000 feet (3.046 kilometers)   Speed: Supersonic in flight   Crew: 2 enlisted   Guidance system: Fire-and-forget passive infrared seeker   Warheads: High explosive   Rate of fire: 1 missile every 3 to 7 seconds   Sensors: Passive infrared   Unit Replacement Cost $38,000   Inventory: About 13,400 missiles available in the Army and Marine Corps[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]M-252       Mortar[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<img src="http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/arfacts/m25.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The     M252 81mm Medium Extended Range Mortar is a crew-served, medium weight mortar     which is highly accurate and provides for a greater range (4,500 meters to     5,650 meters) and lethality than the previous 81mm mortar. The cannon has     a crew-removable breech plug and firing pin. The muzzle end has a short tapered     lead-in which acts as a blast attenuator device. The breech end is finned     for better cooling. This mortar also uses the standard M64 mortar sight of     the M-224 60mm mortar.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The M252 is an     adaptation of the standard British 81mm mortar developed in the 1970s. It     is mostly commonly found in the mortar platoon of an Army or Marine Corps     infantry battalion.         The M252 is ideally suited to support airborne, air assault, mountain and light   infantry units. The M-252 Mortar is used by the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine   Corps.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Type: 81mm mortar   Entered service: 1987   Caliber: 81mm   Barrel length:4 ft 6 in   Weight: 91 lbs   Range: 5,600 meters   Rate of fire: 15 rounds/min sustained[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]M-224       Lightweight Mortar[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<img src="http://usmilitary.about.com/library/weekly/images/m224mortar.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The     M224 60mm Lightweight Mortar is a smooth bore, muzzle loading, high-angle-of-fire     weapon. The cannon assembly is composed of the barrel, combination base cap,     and firing mechanism. The mount consists of a bipod and a base plate which     is provided with screw type elevating and traversing mechanisms to elevate/traverse     the mortar. The M64 sight unit is attached to the bipod mount via a standard     dovetail. An additional short range sight is attached to the base of the     cannon tube for firing the mortar on the move and during assaults. It has     a spring-type shock absorber to absorb the shock of recoil in firing.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The M224 replaced     the older (WWII era) M2 and M19, 60mm Mortars. These weapons only possessed     2,200 yards of effective range. The M224 was designed to fire all types of     the older ammunition, but its primary rounds are of the newer, longer-range     type. The weapon is used primary by the U.S. Marine Corps.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Length: 40 inches     (101.6 centimeters)   Weight: 46.5 pounds (21.11 kilograms)   Bore diameter: 60mm   Maximum effective range: 2.17 miles (3490 meters)   Rates of fire:   Maximum: 30 rounds/minute   Sustained: 20 rounds/minute   Unit Replacement Cost: $10,658[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]AT4 Anti-Armor       Weapon[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<img src="http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/marinefacts/at4.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The     M136 AT4 is the Army and Marine Corps's primary light anti-tank weapon. The     M136 AT4 is a recoilless rifle used primarily by Infantry Forces for engagement     and defeat of light armor. The recoilless rifle design permits accurate delivery     of an 84mm High Explosive Anti-Armor warhead, with negligible recoil. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The M136 AT4 is     a lightweight, self-contained, anti armor weapon consisting of a free-flight,     fin-stabilized, rocket-type cartridge packed in an expendable, one-piece,     fiberglass-wrapped tube. The M136 AT4 is man-portable and is fired from the     right shoulder only. The launcher is watertight for ease of transportation     and storage. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Though the M136     AT4 can be employed in limited visibility, the firer must be able to see     and identify the target and estimate the range to it. Subsequent to the initial     fielding of the weapon, a reusable night sight bracket was developed and     fielded. It permits utilization of standard night vision equipment. The system's     tactical engagement range is 250 meters and has been used in multiple combat     situations. The round of ammunition is self-contained in a disposable launch     tube. The system weighs 15 pounds and can be utilized effectively with minimal     training.

The launcher consists of a fiberglass     launch tube, a 9mm spotting rifle, an electro-mechanical firing mechanism,     open battle sights, and a mount for the MK42 Mod 0 optical and AN/PVS-4 night     sights. The High Explosive, Dual Purpose (HEDP) rocket is effective against     bunkers, masonry and concrete walls, and light armor. The High Explosive     Anti-Armor (HEAA) rocket is effective against current tanks without additional     armor. The 9mm spotting rounds are ballistically matched to the rockets and     increase the gunner's first round hit probability. Training is accomplished     with the MK7 Mod 0 encased common practice rocket and the MK213 Mod 0 noise     cartridge.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] The SMAW MK153     Mod 0 launcher is based on the Israeli B-300 and consists of the launch tube,     the spotting rifle, the firing mechanism, and mounting brackets. The launch     tube is fiberglass/epoxy with a gel coat on the bore. The spotting rifle     is a British design and is mounted on the right side of the launch tube.     The firing mechanism mechanically fires the spotting rifle and uses a magneto     to fire the rocket. The mounting brackets connect the components and provide     the means for boresighting the weapon. The encased rockets are loaded at     the rear of the launcher. The spotting cartridges are stored in a magazine     in the cap of the encased rocket.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Originally developed     as a unique weapon for the U.S. Marine Corps, during Desert Storm, 150 launchers     and 5,000 rockets were provided to the U.S. Army.

The weapon is also effective against hard targets such as bunkers     and field fortifications.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The warhead power     of Dragon makes it possible for a single Marine or soldier to defeat armored     vehicles, fortified bunkers, concrete gun emplacements, or other hard targets.     The launcher consists of a smoothbore fiberglass tube, breech/gas generator,     tracker and support, bipod, battery, sling, and forward and aft shock absorbers.     Non-integral day and night sights are required to utilize the Dragon.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] The complete     system consists of the launcher, the tracker and the missile, which is installed     in the launcher during final assembly and received by the military in a ready     to fire condition. The launch tube serves as the storage and carrying case     for the missile. The night tracker operates in the thermal energy range.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The first-generation     Dragon, a 1000-meter system requiring 11.2 seconds flight-to-target time,     was developed for the US Army and fielded in 1970. A product improvement     program (PIP) was initiated by the Marine Corps in 1985 and managed by NSWC     Dahlgren. The PIP, designated Dragon II, was designed to increase warhead     penetration effectiveness by 85%. The Dragon II missile is actually a retrofit     of warheads to the first generation missiles already in the Marine Corps     and Army inventory.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]TOW Missile       System[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<img src="http://usmilitary.about.com/library/weekly/images/towmissile.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The     tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided (TOW) missile is a crew-portable,     vehicle-mounted, heavy anti armor weapon system consisting of a launcher     and one of five versions of the TOW missile. It is designed to defeat armored     vehicles and other targets such as field fortifications from ranges up to     3,750 meters. After firing the missile, the gunner must keep the crosshairs     of the sight centered on the target to ensure a hit. The system will operate     in all weather conditions in which the gunner can see a target throughout     the missile flight by using either a day or night sight.   The TOW system is used on the high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV),   the M151 jeep, the armored personnel carrier, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle   (BFV), COBRA helicopters, the Improved Tow Vehicle (ITV), and the USMC light   armored vehicle. Three of the five TOW missile versions—Basic TOW, Improved   TOW, and TOW 2—are no longer being produced for U.S. forces. However,   these versions are used by 43 allied countries, and Switzerland co-produces   the missile system. In the late 1980s, Hughes Aircraft Company, prime contractor   for the TOW weapon system, began producing the TOW 2A which gave the system   the capability of defeating reactive armor. The TOW 2B provides additional   capability against future armored threats.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In May 1972, U.S.     soldiers used the TOW in combat during the Vietnam War. This was the very     first time that American troops had ever fired an American-made missile under     wartime conditions. The system has also seen action in various clashes between     Israel and Syria as well as during the Iran/Iraq war. The TOW was one of     the earliest missile systems to arrive in Southwest Asia and proved to be     highly effective throughout Operation Desert Storm.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /> [/FONT] </blockquote>
