description: The M6 Linebacker short-range air defense system was developed by Boeing
|
|
to meet the US Army requirements. The new vehicle was intended to counter the threat
|
|
posed by low-flying aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles
|
|
to forward armored formations. Initial production Linebackers entered service with
|
|
the US Army in 1997. A total of 99 Bradley Linebackers were ordered, however in
|
|
2006 these were phased-out of service. The M6 is an all-weather system, capable
|
|
of operating in day/night and all weather conditions. It is based on the M2 Bradley
|
|
IFV and is equipped with a quadruple launcher with FIM-92 Stinger short-range surface-to-air
|
|
missiles instead of the TOW ATGW.
