FIM-92 Stinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The FIM-92 Stinger is a man portable infra-red homing surface-to-air missile developed in the United States and used by all the US armed services, with whom it entered service in 1981. FIM-43 Redeye, the missile the Stinger replaced in US service. The Stinger is launched by a small ejection motor that pushes it a safe distance from the operator before engaging the main solid-fuel two-stage motor which accelerates it to a maximum speed of Mach 2.2 (750 m/s). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/FIM-92_Stinger   (1274 words)

Stinger SAM The Stinger is only capable of locking on to large sources of heat, and may have trouble tracking some unorthodox types of craft. The Stinger is also unique in that it possesses the Target Adaptive Guidance (TAG) technique, which biases missile orientation toward vulnerable portions of the aircraft and assures maximized lethality. Stinger missiles are also mounted on modified Humvees and Bradley Assault Vehicles, as well as some helicopters for air-to-air combat. conspiracyx0.tripod.com /weapons3/Stinger.htm   (1387 words)

FIM-92 Stinger An air-to-air version of the Stinger, known as the AIM-92, is in use aboard helicopters such as the Army's AH-64D Longbow Apache and the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. The Stinger's 6.6lb (3kg) blast-fragmentation warhead is detonated by impact or proximity fuses. The Stinger, capable of all-aspect engagements (meaning it does not have to see the target's exhaust area to lock on), incorporates a proportional navigation system that allows it to plot and fly an intercept course. www.geocities.com /CapeCanaveral/Hangar/6846/fim-92.html   (558 words)

FIM-43 Redeye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia By November 1985 it had largely been replaced by the dramatically more successful FIM-92 Stinger missiles. The Redeye was withdrawn gradually between 1982 and 1995 as the Stinger was deployed. In 1948 the US Army began looking for new infantry air-defense weapons, as machine guns were proving ineffective against new fast jets. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/FIM-43_Redeye   (722 words)

Stinger ATAS (Air-to-Air Stinger): The U.S. Army is using the Stinger missile (mainly FIM-92C/D Stinger-RMP models) as a helicopter-launched air-to-air missile. The FIM-92 Stinger missile is a very versatile weapon, and is not only used in its original man-portable role, but also as the missile component of other air-defense systems. Therefore, the Stinger can be used on approaching aircraft, before these had a chance to drop their short-range ordnance or begin ground-strafing. www.astronautix.com /lvs/stinger.htm   (1487 words)

Light Armored Vehicle- Air Defense (LAV-AD) Stinger gunners and other Marines with Stinger backgrounds could be assigned to the light armored reconnaissance battalion to employ the LAV-AD. The.50 caliber machine gun was replaced by a 20 millimeter chain gun that provides antiair capabil-ity against aircraft within the inner launch boundary of a Stinger and a significant ground target engagement capability. It also outlines the planned table of organization that calls for an antiair warfare officer to command the LAV-AD company and Stinger staff noncommissioned officers and gunners to serve as crewmembers. www.globalsecurity.org /military/systems/ground/lav-ad.htm   (507 words)

USA Stinger FIM-92 The Stinger is a passive IR homing surface-to-air missile designed to counter low altitude, short range aircraft manufactured by Raytheon Missile Systems and also manufactured under license by Dornier.

Stinger is also the principal air weapon on the US Navy's fleet of special operations patrol boats. As a further increase to the effectiveness of Stinger, General Dynamics began development in September 1984 of what is essentially a fourth-generation man-portable SAM system. www.pakdef.info /pakmilitary/airforce/sam/stinger.html   (2928 words)

General Dynamics FIM-43 Redeye As early as 1967, studies for a significantly improved Redeye II system began, and in March 1972, this was renamed as FIM-92 Stinger, q.v. The FIM-43 Redeye was the first man-portable air defense system (MANPADS) fielded by the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps, and was the direct predecessor of today's widely-used FIM-92 Stinger missile. Beginning in 1982, the Redeye was gradually withdrawn from service, as the new Stinger was deployed. www.designation-systems.net /dusrm/m-43.html   (1073 words)

Venik's Aviation The FIM-92 "Stinger" SAM manufactured by the U.S. has a 1-kg PHE warhead is effective against targets 4.8 km away and 3800 m high (FIM-92 models "B" and "C"). Equally interesting is the fact that the introduction of the U.S.-made Stinger man-portable SAMs into the conflict had no significant impact on the number of downed Soviet aircraft. Second, it was considerably easier for the Soviet pilots and aircraft designers to combat relatively high-tech weapons, such as the "Stinger", than it was to deal with the threat of low-tech weapons, such as Soviet-made DShK-type high-caliber machine-guns and ZU/ZPU-type towed anti-aircraft artillery pieces. www.aeronautics.ru /news/news001/news048.htm   (4202 words)
