This is just an update to the old Chappral (Sidewinder) anti-aircraft system of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.

Sounds like the military is returning to tank warfare. This configuration is used to defend tanks from aircraft attacks.

What is this, Back to the Future? lol

I led two Chaparral platoons back in the 70s. I've been out of the Army so long, the battalion I served in was deactivated at least 15 years ago.

Thanks for the ping and the link. It makes sense to update this old system.
