For the first time, the Avenger, an Air Defense weapon system, is at the center of the Combined Arms Live Fire Exercise (CALFEX) at the West Point’s Cadet Summer Training.
The Avenger is a mobile missile system that provides protection for ground units against cruise missiles, aerial vehicles with no crew, and low-flying aircraft and helicopters that are fixed-winged.
West Point added air defense asset integration to the curriculum in 2018.
