FIM-92 Stinger

摘要

FIM-92 Stinger is a man-portable infrared-homing air defense missile designed to replace the earlier FIM-43 Redeye. It is manufactured by Raytheon's Hughes Missile Systems (formerly General Dynamics; Raytheon formerly was the second-source). A total of 15,669 FIM-92A and 600 FIM-92B Stinger POST were manufactured for US forces. The most recent version of the missile is the FIM-92C Stinger RMP (Reprogrammable Microprocessor). The US Army started accepting Stinger RMPs in 1988 and deployed them toward the end of 1989. The US Army had a requirement for 29,108 FIM-92C Stinger RMP, with the last procurement funding being provided in FY93.
