Army Recognition
The development of the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Short-Range Interceptor (NGSRI) marks a significant technological shift in mobile short-range air defense, offering performance and capabilities far surpassing those of the legacy FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS portable air defense missile system. As part of the Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) Increment 3 modernization initiative, the NGSRI is being designed to counter a broad range of advanced aerial threats, including rotary-wing aircraft, drones, cruise missiles, and short-range hypersonic munitions. With integrated enhancements in speed, range, seeker performance, and propulsion, the NGSRI is poised to become a core component of the future U.S. Army’s layered air defense strategy.
