Defense Feeds, Tucson – The U.S. Army NGSRI Missile Achieves Perfect Test Record milestone during the Army’s effort to replace the long-serving FIM-92 Stinger, successfully intercepting every target during its latest series of developmental tests. The achievement strengthens confidence in the Next Generation Short-Range Interceptor (NGSRI) program as the Army seeks a more capable air defense weapon able to counter modern aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and the rapidly expanding threat posed by unmanned aerial systems. The successful trials come as short-range air defense regains prominence across the world’s militaries. Recent conflicts have demonstrated that low-flying aerial threats can place frontline formations, logistics hubs and critical infrastructure at significant risk, increasing demand for faster and more adaptable interceptors.
