Definition

The Stinger (FIM-92) is a U.S. military man-portable air-defense missile system (MANPADS) designed to give small units rapid, close-in protection against low-altitude aerial threats. It is shoulder-fired by ground troops and uses an infrared-homing seeker to track and engage targets, providing a lightweight, self-contained capability that can be deployed quickly in the field.
