Stinger Block 1
Group : Surface-to-Air Missiles
Status : Active
Also Known As : FIM-92 Stinger-RMP, FIM-92H
Origin : United States of America
Contractor : Raytheon
Initial Operational Capability (IOC) : 1989
Total Production : ?
Unitary Cost : USD $480,000
The Stinger-RMP (Reprogrammable Microprocessor) was deployed in 1989 correcting known operational deficiencies. The Stinger-RMP is a reprogrammable missile meaning that no hardware changes are required to change missile's software. The Stinger-RMP adds an improved IR-UV (Infrared and Ultraviolet) seeker, Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), improved range, improved maneuverability and best performance in IR countermeasures (IRCM) environments to the baseline Stinger missile.
The changes applied to the Singer-RMP missile were the result of operational deficiencies assessments and the need to counter emerging sophisticated air threats. Raytheon and the US Army are carrying out a Preplanned Product Improvement (P3I) program to add new hardware to the Stinger missile improving its military capabilities.
In May 2022, the US Army placed an order for 1,300 Stinger missiles worth $624 million. The deal was intended as replenishment of missiles sent to Ukraine.
