Here's How the Army Is Countering New Threats to Armored Units
The Stryker combat vehicle is getting updated to counter the threats of the 21st century.

Here's What You Need to Remember: All of this has required some minor adjustments within the Stryker vehicle in the realms of sensing, targeting, computing and fire control systems.
The Army Stryker is firing Hellfire missiles, fifty-kilowatt lasers and Stinger missiles to ensure maneuvering infantry in fast-advancing armored units are sufficiently protected from lethal enemy threats such as drones, helicopters and some fixed-wing aircraft.
It is all part of the Army’s ambitious and fast-moving Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) program intended to bring crucially needed air-defense technology to forces on the move in combat.
