Avenger PIP
Abstract
The Avenger Air Defense System is a lightweight, ground-to-air missile and gun weapon system mounted on a High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle. The Avenger's mission is to protect fixed critical assets and Corps/Echelons above Corps Maneuver forces from Fixed Wing (FW) Aircraft, Rotary Wing (RW) Aircraft, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Cruise Missiles (CM). Avenger provides day/night adverse weather operations, shoot on the move capability, rapid target engagement, and remote firing capability. Avenger PIP consists of the ongoing Avenger Modification - Service Life Extension Program (MOD-SLEP). Avenger MOD-SLEP provides development and testing of six key components to ensure Avenger maintains operational capability through FY 2031. The six components are: Targeting Console (TC), .50 Caliber Machine Gun (M3P), Avenger Fire Control Computer (AFCC), Mode 5 Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), Vehicle Internal Communications (VIC-5) and the Environmental Control Unit/Prime Power Unit (ECU/PPU) governor and starter. FY 2020 Base dollars in the amount of $1.287 million supports activities to ensure the Avenger is viable and sustainable through FY 2031. The funding will complete the Materiel Release package for the AFCC, IFF, VIC-5 and ECU/PPU governor and starter.
