The Bradley M6 Linebacker is the US Army Air Defense Artillery's solution for divisional air defense. The Linebacker successfully integrates the combat proven Bradley Fighting Vehicle and Stinger missile systems. under the direction of Bradley Program and the Ft. Bliss SHORAD (Short range Air Defense) Program Manager, US Defense and Boeing are manufacturing the Bradley Linebacker to satisfy the Army's crucial demand for forward divisional air defense warfighting capabilities. Successful target tracking and live missile firings have demonstrated that the Bradley Linebacker provides superior levels of air defense performance against post Cold War air threats.
These threats include, Cruise type missiles, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Rotary Wing, and fixed wing aircraft. Low-cost modifications have been created to the prevailing Bradley turret using the Stinger fire control, Slew-to-Cue systems and the Sentinel Radar target acquisition subsystems, that provide Linebacker the ability to interact targets and fire the Stinger missile while on the move and below armor protection. The Bradley Linebacker provides the superior mobility, firepower and protection to assure completion of air defense missions, day or night.
The Linebacker's combined arms mission is to provide air defense force protection to forward space serious maneuver combat forces, combat support elements, and different crucial assets from attack by enemy Rotary Wing (RW), fixed Wing (FW), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and Cruise Missiles (CMs). Air Defense battalions in the heavy divisions employ the BL.
