US Avenger Pedestal Mounted Stinger (PMS) Turret

The AN/TWQ-1 Avenger Air Defence System (commonly referred to by its core component, the Pedestal Mounted Stinger Turret, or PMS) is the U.S. Army's primary mobile, short-range air defence (SHORAD) platform, designed to protect ground forces from low-altitude aerial threats.

Recognisable by its distinctive, angular, gyro-stabilized turret it is designed to me mounted on a modified Heavy HMMWV (M1097/M998 Humvee series) chassis.

In service with the U.S. Army and National Guard since 1989, the system counters primary threats including helicopters, low-flying fixed-wing aircraft, cruise missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
