Could this new anti-aircraft vehicle be a competitive weapon systems for the BMP-T72 Russian ground support vehicle?
Stryker A1 Initial Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense (IM-SHORAD) system is being developed by General Dynamics Land Systems and Leonardo DRS for the US Army.
A prototype of the IM-SHORAD vehicle was unveiled at the 2019 Annual Meeting & Exposition of the Association of the US Army (AUSA) held in Washington.
The air defence platform is intended to provide air and missile defence against a range of low-altitude aerial threats such as rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, cruise missiles, as well as Group 1, 2 and 3 unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
IM-SHORAD will also offer protection against artillery, rockets and mortars as well as regional ballistic missile threats such as Patriot and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system.
IM-SHORAD is installed on General Dynamics’ Stryker A1 8×8 wheeled armoured vehicle that is outfitted with a 450hp Caterpillar C9 engine and a 60,000lb suspension system.
The double-V hull configuration of the Stryker A1 combat vehicle offers high survivability against mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The Stryker vehicle is also fitted with 910-amp alternator to provide electrical power and support in-vehicle network. It has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 63,000lb.
The vehicle has eight tires offering superior mobility and increased speed on all-terrain conditions.
The Stryker vehicle is equipped with identification friend or foe (IFF) antenna, as well as Rada’s multi-mission hemispheric radar (MHR) to provide tactical air surveillance. The MHR features an AESA (active electronically scanned array) antenna, pulse-doppler and software-defined radars used for detecting, locating, tracking both aerial, and surface targets. An L3Harris WESCAM’s MX-GCS electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sighting system is installed on the Stryker vehicle to provide the commander with 360° aerial surveillance as well as target identification and detection capabilities. The IM-SHORAD capability also incorporates an electronic warfare (EW) package to provide improved situational awareness.
