Summary

Description
English: Stormer vehicle fring a Starstreak High Velocity Missile (HVM) on Ex Javelin.

Part of the 1 Yorkshire Regiment (1 York) Battlegroup during Ex Prairie Lightning. on Ex Prairie Storm 3 in British Army Training Area Suffield (BATUS), Alberta Canada.

Combat Service Support (CSS) Battle group is made up of 4 Royal Logistic Corp, 4 Battalion Royal Electrical Engineers (4 REME), 4 Mediical Regiment (4 Med Reg) and 174 Provo Company Royal Military Police.

The tracked Stormer vehicle provides a mobile platform for the Starstreak High Velocity Missile (HVM) system giving the detachment protection and excellent mobility with eight ready to fire missiles and a further nine stowed inside.

The HVM system is a low-level Close Air Defence system with a rapid engagement capacity optimised to counter the attack helicopter threat. This highly flexible system is also capable of being fired using the lightweight multiple launcher or from the shoulder. The missile employs a system of three dart type projectiles which can make multiple hits on the target. Each of these darts has an explosive warhead.

The system is fitted with a roof-mounted air defence alerting device, providing target detection and prioritisation. A panoramic weapon sight is located at the front of the vehicle.
