The Army's Stryker vehicle- A brilliant infantry carrier or big blunder?
In this video, we’ll learn about the specifications, armament, unit organization, and tactics of Stryker Brigade Combat Teams.
The Army is working overtime to slap two different 50-kilowatt laser weapons onto a pair of Stryker infantry fighting vehicles ahead of a shoot-off this coming spring, a major step forward for the service’s directed-energy ambitions.
The service announced last week that a “unique Army-industry team†is currently hard overtime in Huntsville, Alabama to outfit two of the armored vehicles with two distinct laser systems developed in a competition between defense contractors Northrop Grumman and Raytheon.
Once the two systems are integrated into their respective Strykers, the two vehicles will go head-to-head in a laser weapon shoot-off at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, sometime “this spring,†according to the Army.
