Honestly I don’t know. An AIM-9X popping out of the trees would certainly be a rude surprise though. :diablo: (this is what’s posted on militaryphotos.net)
“Not the Avenger or the HUMRAAM, but what looks to be a crossbreed of the two.
It can take a variety of weapons, including a 12,7mm GAU-19 rotary gun, the AMRAAM, the standard quad Stinger launcher and the AIM-9X (or is it RIM-72X now?).
Found the pic in the latest issue of “Stratigiki” magazine. I think it is called CADL. Any more photos and info welcome.”

I don’t speak Portuguese, but I guess it said that in the JLENS program, US Army tested the AIM-9X, AMRAAM and Stinger on an HMMWV Missile Tracking Mount (MTM) from Boeing.

JLENS refers to the sensor system, it has nothing to do with the SAM element.

Photoshop. Look at pictures of CLAWS or Derby on a HMMWV, the missiles on this picture are far too small and low mounted.
I don’t like that Jeep mounted air defense stuff. Too vulnarable against infantry weapons.
