The Mobile Surface-to-Air Missile Launchers such as the AN/TWQ-1 Avenger depicted below, provide mobile, medium-range air defense protection against advancing low-flying aircraft such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) and fixed-wing fighters. Incorporating a radar system which detects air, ground, and naval units, they are also effective against cruise missiles. They are capable of air assault as well as strategic airlift.
