The Initial Maneuver Short Range Air Defense System(IM-SHORAD) is a Stryker-based air defense platform to replace the ANTWQ-1 Avenger system. The M-SHORAD integrates existing 30 mm autocannon, missiles and sensors onto a Stryker A1 vehicle. The IM-SHORAD is more mobile, flexible, better protected, and according to the Soldiers, more comfortable to use that the Avenger.br br 00:00 - Drivers training on the M-SHORAD strykerbr 02:39 - Testing all the IM-SHORAD's defense systems during a safety trial on the rangebr br Credits: U.S. Army videos by Eugen Warkentin, John Hamiltonbr br Thumbnail Credit: U.S. Army photo by Capt.
