Name two common Army air defense weapon systems.

Two commonly used Army air defense weapon systems are Patriot and Avenger. Patriot is a long-range, highly capable system designed to detect and intercept aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles at extended distances and altitudes, forming the backbone of many units’ air defense. Avenger is a mobile, short-range system that mounts Stinger missiles on a Humvee, providing close-in, rapidly deployable protection for maneuver units and areas Patriot can’t reach quickly. Other options mix Navy-centric systems or non-U.S. assets, or emphasize a different threat profile, so Patriot paired with Avenger best fits the typical Army air defense lineup discussed in this context.
