First prototypes are delivered to the Dutch army.


The jeep has a small radar with four launch tubes.
Its in use with the airmobile brigades anti-aircraft battery.

What would the Stinger need a Radar for? I thought th Stingers strenght was just the absence of radar guidance?

Quote
The "fire-and-forget" Stinger missile employs a passive infrared seeker to home in on its airborne target. A passive infrared seeker emits no radiation that a target aircraft can detect, and, instead, guides on the infrared energy (heat) emitted by the target. Because the Stinger employs a passive homing seeker, it is a "fire-and-forget" weapon that needs no guidance from the operator after firing, unlike other missiles that track the reflection of a designator beam, requiring the operator to maintain a lock on the target. This allows a Stinger operator to take cover, relocate, or engage other targets immediately after firing a Stinger.

My fault, the unit has a small battlefield radar, the radar is used to detect aircraft on time, in order to warn the firing unit.
Not the jeep itself.
The jeep can be used together with the Cheetah, ( former Gepard)
