The US Army is advancing its Stinger missile capabilities with the Red Wasp program, which employs solid fuel ramjet technology to significantly increase missile range. This development, aimed at improving air defense, follows successful test flights and focuses on allowing Stingers to engage threats such as uncrewed aerial systems more effectively. Historically operational since 1981, the Stinger missiles have undergone few upgrades, making this expansion a critical advancement for troops needing to address evolving airborne threats at greater distances.
The ramjet cycle thus greatly increases the engine's delivered performance and ultimately the missile's range.
With Red Wasp, we can reach out and touch them at greater distances.
