The AN/TWQ Avenger is a short-range air defense system that was produced by the USA. It fires 8 FIM-8 MANPADS towards an aerial target. It uses an infrared camera, and is also armed with one .50 cal M2 Browning. My idea is this, arm a vehicle like the UAE Nimr which is light, and fast with 8 Anza Mk3s for SHORAD. This is the Hafeet 6x6, if Pakistan and the UAE did a JV this could be a successful SHORAD program for export as well as for Pakistan. My preposition is this, take off the cab near the two back wheels and add two pods of 4 Anza's as well as a place where the operator could sit in the middle and lock on and fire the missiles.
Nimr 6x6 armed with Mistrals and a machine gun.
The operator sits in the middle and the system is motorized to allow full traverse.
I think a system like this could for example engage Indian low flying jet which I don't think is an Su-30 due to lack of canards but it also could be other aircraft. They don't look like they are flying over a few thousand meters so able to engage any aircraft flying that low.
