So firstly what have we in the EU?
France - Mistral
Austria
Belgium
Estonia
Hungary
Cyprus
Spain
Germany?
UK (currently still a part) Starstreak
Poland - Grom
Lithuania?
Possibly Ukraine
Sweden - RBS-70
Czech
Ireland
Latvia
Lithuania?
USA and licensed to Germany - Stinger
Croatia
Denmark
Greece
Italy
Lithuania
Netherlands
Portugal
Slovenia
Russian - Igla
Bulgaria
Croatia?
Hungary?
Macedonia
Serbia
Slovenia
Slovakia
Bosnia-Herzogovinia
Ukraine
Sweden and Germany are working on somehow turning IRS-T into a MANPAD?
What happend to BAMSE?
So turning to the future.
What is lacking is a V-SHORAD/MANPAD that uses VLS obviating the need to 'point' roughly at the target and forcing the user to have to either shoulder the weapon or set up a mount.
I rather think there is scope here for such a system, which benefit from VLS and make it far easier to set up a mount for, potentially easing the readying of such a weapon and leaves just elements of the guidance system to actually 'point' in the direction of the target.
