HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Boeing and General Dynamics Land Systems have teamed up to build a short-range air defense system on a Stryker combat vehicle and plan to demonstrate the capability at a SHORAD shoot-off hosted by the Army next month.

The team brought its Manuever SHORAD Launcher (MSL) Stryker to the Space and Missile Defense Symposium on August 8 before it heads to White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, where the Army will host the shoot-out designed to inform the service’s way ahead for an interim SHORAD solution.
