Showcasing AVENGER with Laser Weapon
At AUSA Global Force 2017, taking place this week in Huntsville, AL, Boeing is exhibiting its open architecture based on a universal weapons interface concept that enables integration of a variety of weapons providing multi-mission capability on a single platform: AVENGER.

This weapon system counters an array of threats facing the US Army today ranging from airborne Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Rocket/ Artillery/Mortar (RAM) to ground threats.

Boeing’s open architecture design is based on a universal weapons interface (UWI) concept that enables integration of a variety of weapons, i.e. it can be armed with a full range of weapons as STINGER HELLFIRE SIDEWINDER LONGBOW missiles, rockets, and is showcased in Huntsville with Boeing’s High Energy Laser.

This provides multi-mission capability on a single platform that is scalable to support various levels of modernisation. The UWI construct allows rapid conversion and supports a robust weapons mix that complements other weapon systems. The architecture is modular and can be installed at a component level or as an integrated turret.
