This it the Army's versatile surface-to-air guided missile, designed for protection against low altitude attack. Carrying a lethal warhead, this air defense weapon system is capable of destroying attackers flying at the lowest altitudes, at ranges insuring effective protection of defended areas. Highly mobile, the system is capable of being transported with a minimum number of vehicles on the highway, by helicopter, and by aircraft.]]> en]]> Postcards]]> Redstone Arsenal]]> Redstone Arsenal (Ala.)]]> Huntsville (Ala.)]]> Madison County (Ala.)]]> The massive domes house innumerable displays, individual listening devices describe and explain the functions of various Rockets and Missiles.
