Say hello to my little friend – the Avenger now has Serious Firepower
I could think of a few more places to add some more weapons, like a Gatling-gun on the hood, but other than that, Boeing’s pitch for an upgraded Avenger air defence system has some serious firepower.
Not much has been done to the original Avenger since it came out in the 80’s, which was basically an eight stinger missile system mounted on a Humvee.
However, if Boeing gets their way, the new Avenger will have its weapons outfitted on an Oshkosh ATV that include, surface-to-air missiles, a Bushmaster chain gun, a laser, another secondary gun and what looks to be a T-shirt launcher.
The roid-monster has everything but the kitchen sink….oh never mind it has one of those to.
