HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

The manual is divided into two parts. Part one provides you, thegunner, with operating instruction improvements resulting from the additionof UV detection and the reprogrammable module, normal maintenance requirementsfor the weapon round, field handling trainer, and IPF interrogator. Part twoprovides instructions for operating and servicing the IFF programmer/batterycharger.Portions of this manual which apply only to the Stinger-POST will bepreceded by (POST), portions which apply only to the Stinger with thereprogrammable microprocessor will be preceded by (RMP).

PART ONETEAM PROCEDURESCHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION

Section I. GENERAL

1-1. Purpose and Scope

Part one of this manual is for your use in operating andmaintaining the STINGER Intercept-Aerial Guided Missile System(weapon-round partial plus grip stock, hereafter weapon-round), Trainer,Handling, Guided Missile Launcher: M60 (field handling trainer), andInterrogator Set AN/PPX-3A and AN/PPX-3B (IFF interrogator).

1-1.1 Differences Between Models

Differences between models are contained in the following paragraphs:

a. Missile Rounds

(1) The Stinger-POST (Passive Optical Seeker Technique) has adifferent front window than the basic Stinger. The front window is

transparent, which permits IR and UV detections. In addition, the GuidanceAssembly has been improved to allow the gunner to track positive contrastIR and/or negative contrast Uv radiation, to provide greater backgrounddiscrimination than the basic Stinger.

(2) The Stinger RMP (Reprogrammable Microprocessor) retains allthe Stinger-POST improvements and also has additional improvements tothe guidance system. These improvements enable the weapon to reject morecomplex IRCM and provide greater black discrimination than the basicStinger or Stinger POST.

b. Weapon Rounds

In addition to the improvements to the missile round, an electronic housing has beenadded to the separable gripstock, to accommodate installation of an RMP module. TheRMP module allows reprogramming of missile software programs for enhancingperformance in different threat environments.

c. Gripstocks

Gripstocks without the RMP module may be used with the basic and POSTmissiles. RMP missiles without the RMP module will default and function asif they were POST missiles. Gripstocks with the RMP module may be used withall STINGER missiles.

d. Interrogators

The basic difference between the AN/PPX-3A and the AN/PPX-3B is the additionof an electronic day indicator activating switch and needed circuits on theAN/PPX-3B. For detailed information, refer to TM 11-5895-1194-24.

e. Training Set, Guided Missile System M134, M158, M160For information on the training sets and the caotuve flight trainerrefer to TM 9-6920-429-12

f. Field Handling Trainers M6O, XM148The XM 148 trainer uses the same dummy launch tube as the M60, without the gripstockand IFF interrogator. The M60 trainer must have the gas insert assembly removed prior touse with SVML. Refer to para. 2-10 for instructions for removal of the gas insertassembly.

TM 9-1425-429-12

1-2. Security Requirements

a. The weapon round, missile round, gripstock with the RMP

module installed, and IFF interrogator are classified CONFIDENTIAL forstorage, handling, and shipping. During shipment,the weapon round is splitinto two components,the weapon round partial and the gripstock. After arrivalat an ammunition supply point (ASP) or military unit,the gripstock may beplaced in the weaponround partial container. If the gripstock is placed inthe weapon round partial container, write the NSN number of the gripstockabove the existing NSN on the container, using china marker (Item 19, App.E).Be security unconscious when any of these items become your responsibility.Be sure that they never leave your sight. When you are not using the weaponor interrogator, be sure they are protected against unauthorized access,theft and sabotage.

b. In the event ofloss or theft of a weapon round, weapon-round partial,missile round, gripstock with RMP installed or IFF interrogator,notify your local commander immediately. The commander must take actionas prescribed in AR 210-10, AR 310-84, and AR 380-5 and must insure thatthe appropriate military and civilian law enforcement agencies arenotified promptly.

c. When the weapon is fired, and the missile launch and flight motorsfunction normally, classified components should be destroyed by warheaddetonation or ground impact. Whenever a missile malfunctions, or if there isreason to believe that classified components may not be destroyed,attempt to locate and destroy it as prescribed in para.6-2 of this manual

You must have the weapon round and BCU to have an operationalweapon. To have IFF capability, you must connect the IFF interrogator setto the weapon round using the interconnecting cable. Descriptions for theabove items as we11 as descriptions for the shipping and storage container,transport harness, and field handling trainers are provided in paras. 1-6through 1-7.

Figure 1-1. Stinger weapon-round and IFF interrogator

1-6. Weapon-Round Description

a. Missile-Round (Figure 1-2). The missile-round consists of two major parts:the missile and launch tube assembly.

(1) The missile is housed in the launch tube. The major componentsthat make up the missile are shown in Figure 1-2. The missile uses infrared(heat-sensitive) homing. It is ejected from the launch tube by the launchmotor and propelled in flight by the ffight motor. The launch motor isexpended and separated from the flight motor before the missile is out ofthe launch tube. The expended launch motor drops from the missile outsidethe launch tube at a safe distance from you. Also, at separation, a lanyardattached to the launch motor pulls the shorting plug from the flight motorignition circuit. After the missile coasts a safe distance from you, theflight motor fires. The missile will selfdestruct after a total of 17seconds of in-flight time shorting plug from the flight motor ignitioncircuit. After the missile coasts a safe distance from you, the flightmotor fires. The missile will self lestruct after a total of 17 seconds ofin-flight time.

Figure 1-2. Missile-round

(2) The launch tube is made of molded fiberglass with an lR windowin one end and a blowout disc in the other to seal the missile in the tubefrom moisture and foreign matter. A desiccant cartridge/humidity indicatorunit on the launch tube indicates whether moisture has entered the tube.

(3) The sight assembly is attached to the launch tube. You use this toaim the weapon, to estimate the target range, to superelevate to the properangle, and to correctly lead your target. Two acquisition indicators mountedon the sight assembly tell you IFF status and whether the missile is"locked on" the target. One of these indicators is a tiny speaker thatproduces various tones. The other indicator vibrates against your cheekbone,transmitting sound vibrations through the bones to the ear. Also attached tothe sight assembly is a clear plastic eyeshield to protect your left eye whenthe weapon-round is fired.

b. Separable Gripstock (Fig. 1-3). The separable gripstock attaches to theunderside of the missile-round with a latch mechanism. After firing a missile,the separable gripstock will be removed from the launch tube assembly forre-use. The separable gripstock consists of the gripstock assembly and theIFF antenna assembly. The gripstock assembly contains the safety and actuatordevice, uncaging switch, firing trigger, IFF interrogator switch and IFFinterrogator connector, and BCU receptacle. The IFF antenna assembly folds onthe side of the gripstock assembly when not in use. When it is unfolded andthe interrogator is connected to the weapon-round, aircraft can beinterrogated.

c. Battery Coolant Unit (BCU). The BCU screws into the batteryreceptacle on the underside of the separable gripstock. lt contains a thermalbattety and pressurized argon gas coolant. When you operate the safety andactuator device, the BCU then must be removed within 3 minutes to preventdamage to the gripstock.

Figure 1-3 Separable gripstock

----------------WARNING----------------

After it is activated, the BCU becomes very hot. Handle only by the insulatedcap when removing. After removal high pressure argon gas may still beflowing from the needle. Keep needle at least 1 inch away from skin.

CAUTION----------------

The BCU should not be placed in the separable gripstock prior to mating withthe missile round. To prevent coolant system contamination,the BCU must be discarded following removal from the gripstock assembly;this is necessary even if the BCU was never activated while installed in thegripstock.

1-6.1. M60 Field Handling Trainer (FHT) Description

The FHT (figure 1-3.1) is a dummy round which simulatesthe operation of a weapon round. It has no actual electronicsbut has all the external features of the tactical launch tube,gripstock, and sight assembly. It provides the gunner with realistic training,while allowing him to make errors without damage to more sensitive equipment.The FHT consists of a ballasted launch tube assembly, dummy separablegripstock, dummy BCU, and dummy IFF interrogator. The trainer providespractice in the basic skills of weapon handling to include transportation,procedures, reaction times, sighting, and ranging.

1-6.2. Field Handling Trainer XM148 Description

The XM 148 FHT (figure 1-3. 1) is also a dummy round, but has no gripstock,IFF interrogator, or BCUs.It is used to train crews in the handling of STINGERweapon rounds as part of the ATAS launch system.

1-7. IFF Interrogator Description

a. General. The IFF interrogator (figure 1-4), when connected tothe weapon round,helps you determine whether the sighted aircraft is friendlyor unknown. The interrogator is a battery-powered unit that attaches to yourweb belt, using the clip on the side of the case. The interrogator connectsto the weapon round using the interrogator cable assembly. The cableassembly connector end has a clamping device attached to the connector capby a lanyard cable. The clamp holds the interconnecting cable connector onthe operator's flak jacket allowing him to quickly remove it from theprotective cap and connect it to the gripstock assembly.

b. Functional Diagram

(1) The IFF interrogator operates in one of three programs; mode 3 (M3) onlyor mode 4 (M4) only, or M4/M3 automatic.

Figure 1-3.1. Field handling Trainers

Figure 1-4. Clamp assembly and interrogator assembly.

(2) When the tactical situations require the use of either M4 or automaticM4/M3 coding, you must return the IFF interrogator to section headquartersfor reprogramming at 1east every four days. When reprogrammed at headquartersthe reprogramming date is recorded on the top of the IFF Interrogator. Inaddition to the written date of programming, the AN/PPX-3B wi11 read out themode 4 day of code when the READ switch is pressed. The M4 and M4/M3 programsselected for the IFF interrogator operate for 4 days. After 4 days the IFFinterrogator automatically switches to the M3 only mode and remains in thatmode until it is reprogrammed.

(3) Let's assume that the M4/M3 program has been entered into your IFFinterrogator and you want to challenge an aircraft. The operation starts whenyou press the IFF interrogate switch on the gripstock and lasts about 2 seconds.During this period, numerous interrogations are transmitted by the antenna.If the correct replies for mode 4 are received, you get a half second "beep"then a half second later you get another "beep". This mode 4 tone positivelyidentifies a friendly aircraft. If correct mode 4 replies are not received,the interrogator automatically switches to mode 3 and interrogates again. Ifthe correct replies are received you will get a single one and a half second"beeeeeeep". If you don't get a reply you will hear a string of short "beeps"telling you that the target identity is unknown. Of course, if yourinterrogator had the M4 only program inserted, you would either get themode 4 friendly tone - two "beeps" or the unknown tone - a string of "beeps".If no tone is heard when you press the IFF interrogate switch, your IFF systemis defective.

1-8. Weapon-Round Principles of Operation.

Figure 1-5 is a sequential illustration describing the operation of theweapon-round using the IFF interrogator. Some of the steps in this series canbe performed at the same time. Also, the exact sequence of some steps mayvary depending on different tactical situations.

Figure 1-5. Weapon round principles of operation (sheet 1 of 6).






1-9. Shipping and Storge Containers (Figure 1-6)

a. Weapon-Round Containers.During shipment the weapon round is shippedin two containers, the weapon-round partial container and the Irripstockcontainer. Following arrival at an ammunition supply point or military unitthe gripstock may be placed in the weaponround partial container. Write theNSN of the gripstock above the existing NSN on the container, usingchinamarker (Item 19, App. E).

(1) Weapon-Round Partial Container/Ready Rack. This container providesprotection for one weapon round and up to five BCUs during shipping andstorage. The container has handles for two-man carry, four lid latches,a humidity indicator, and a pressure relief valve. The top corners of thecontainer are marked with 2V-inch yellow squares.

(2) Gripstock Container. Gripstocks are packed in Class Acontainers in accordance with the packaging data sheet.

b. Missile-Round Container. This container provides protection for one missileround and up to three BCUs during shipping and storage.

c. IFF Interrogator Container. This shipping and storage container providesprotection for one IFF interrogator, interrogator battery, andinterconnecting cable.

d. FHT Shipping Container. The shipping containers for the FHT M6O andXM 148 are similar in appearance to the weapon.round container. The top cornersare marked with 2 1/2-inch bronze-colored squares and the word dummy is marked intwo places. It provides protection for one field handling trainer duringshipping and storage.

1-10. Weapon-Round Container/Ready Rack and Transport Harness Description

The transport harness secures the containers to the M4 16 trailer in a mannerthat permits fast access to the weapon-rounds. Figure 1-7 shows how the M416trailer is used to transport four weapon rounds and two missile rounds. Thefour weapon-round containers are located along the sides of the trailer

(two stacked on each side)with latches facing outward. The two missile-roundcontainers are located in the center. The top two weapon-round containers areconverted to ready racks by releasing the latches to make the two weaponrounds available.

Section II. OPERATING PROCEDURES

2-2. Safety and Handling Precautions

----------------WARNINGS----------------

Before inserting the BCU, carefully inspect the entire weapon-round.To ensure that the seeker head can properly see the target, the blowout disccan shatter evenly, and over-pressures within the 1aunch tube are prevented,remove any caked dirt, mud, or ice from the IR window and the rear end of thelaunch tube. In addition, check that the desiccant cartridge/humidityindicator is securely installed. Prior to insertion of the BCU into thegripstock and as a safeguard against inadvertent missile firing orunintentiona1 battery discharge occurring when inserting the BCU into thegripstock, be sure that the firing trigger, uncaging switch, and the safetyand actuator device operate freely and are in the unpressed position.

----------------WARNING----------------

Weapons in containers that fall more than 84 inches are considered unsafe andshould only be handled by qualified personnel.

NOTE

Weapons in containers that fall 3 feet or less and weapons not in containersthat fall 2 feet or less are considered functionally operable. Weapons thatfa11 from a distance in excess of 3 feet (2 feet if not in a container) butless the 7 feet must be turned in to the depot for test and evaluation.

FIRING CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS

For you to be free to fire safely in any direction, the area around mustbe clear of any obstructions or personnel for a distance of 45 meters(150 feet).

All personnel within 125 meters (400 feet) must wear hearing protectiondevices. To minimize the possibility of injury from flying debris do not firewith the launcher elevated more than 65 degrees or 1ess than 10 degrees orwith the aft end of the launch tube closer than 30 inches to the ground.

HIGH PRESSURE/HIGH TEMPERATURE

Following activation, surface temperature of the BCU can riseto 400 degrees Fahrenheit within ten minutes. The heat so generated canboth burn bare hands and cause permanent deformation of the gripstock BCUreceptacle. To prevent such casualties, remove the BCU from the gripstockwithin three minutes following activation and discard.(In a trainingenvironment allow a 30-minute cool-down period before handling the discardedBCU.) Heat-caused casualties, however,are not the only consideration forconcern when removing the BCU. If the BCU is still discharging highpressure gas when it is removed from the gripstock, do not allow the topto come close to, or to point at, your body. The possibility of thehigh-pressure gas discharge puncturing your skin is a major safetyconsideration. In addition, the gas discharge can cause burns to your bodyeven if not close enough to puncture the skin.

TOXIC MATERIALS BASIC STINGER ONLY

Do not touch the vicinity of the missile seekerhead dome if it shatters,as mercury thallium liquid may be released. This material is toxic tounprotected skin. Avoid all contact with the released material unlessprotective equipment is being worn such as a respirator, imperviousprotective gloves, and chemical goggles. If the skin or eyes are exposedto the spilled material, immediately flush with copious quantities ofwater. Any person.exposed to the released material should be promptlyreferred to a physician.

BASIC STINGER, POST AND RMP

The missile exhaust contains amounts of HCI gas which may causeeye and/or throat irritation when personnel are exposed. To prevent anyirritation or exposure to potentially harmful concentrations of HCI in theexhaust plume, the gunner and assistant must hold their breaths until thetrigger is released and move away from the exhaust plume, if necessary,before breathing again.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

In addition to your helmet,you must use the plastic eyeshield installedon the weapon-round sight, and earplugs. The earplugs are in each weapon andmissile-round shipping and storage container.

For target acquisition you must have the target centered in the sight rangering. There are four major factors that limit range:target speed, IR/UV signal strength, the time it takes the missile to reachflight speed, and the time required for a target intercept. The sight rangeis used as an aid to determine when a target can be engaged. Proccdures forusing the range ring are found in (SNF) FM 44-1A. If the target is too closefor the missile to be launched effectively, you should keep tracking thetarget until it passes beyond minimum range before firing. In order to assureproper gyro performance and seeker head cooling before the missile is fired,the weapon-round must be activated at least 3 to 5 seconds before squeezingthe firing trigger.

2-4. Weapon-Round Operating Instructions

The following illustration sequence demonstrates the procedure used to prepare, aim andfire the weapon round.

CAUTION

When handling the weapon-round, be careful not to damage the launch motorigniter leads running lengthwise on the outside of the launch tube. Keep thefront cover in place until you make the weaponround ready for use. Alwaysplace the weapon-round on its side if you lay it down, never stand it on itsend.

NOTE

Remove the styrofoam cube behind the retaining clip of the bone vibratorprior to shouldering the weapon. Replace if weapon is not fired.

Figure 2-2 Weapon operating instructions (sheet 1 of 9)









2-5. Hangfires, Misfires and Duds

----------------WARNING----------------

For a hangfire, misfire, or dud missile, personnel should evacuate the areaaround the missile for a distance of 1200 feet. The missile must not beapproached for 3 hours. Death or injury may result.

a. Hangfires and Misfires. A hangfire is a delay in functioning ofthe explosive components caused by electronic malfunction, loose electricalconnections, faulty explosive devices, etc. The delay may be from a splitsecond to several minutes. A misfire is a complete failure to fire, but if themissile fails to fire, always assume it is a hangfire and perform thefollowing steps:(1) Continue to track the target for 3 more seconds, keeping boththe firing trigger and uncaging switch pressed.

----------------WARNING----------------

BCU gets extremely hot when activated. Grasp it only by heat-insulated capwhen removing it. Do not point top of BCU toward skin because high pressuregas may still be escaping. Do not handle BCU for 30 minutes after removal.

(2) If the missile has not ejected after 5 seconds. release thefiring trigger and gyro uncaging switch; then immediately remove IFF cableand BCU. Carefully place the weapen-round on a stand or on the ground, keepingboth ends of the launcher pointed away from personnel with the forward endslightly elevated (approximately 20 degrees). Leave the area immediately, donot cross in front of or behind the weapon. Hazardous conditon exists for 3

hours after trigger pull.

(3) Mark the location of the defective weapon-round. All personnelseek shelter and immediately notify the supporting Explosive OrdnanceDisposal (EOD) unit. Weapon should not be approached for at least 3 hours.Move to a safe position and keep the weapon round under surveillance.Since the weapon-round is classified, it must not be left unattended.

b. Duds. A dud missile situation occurs when the flight motor doesnot fire after the missile has ejected from the launch tube. Mark thelocation of the dud and immediately notify the supporting ExplosiveOrdnance Disposal (EOD) unit. Move to a safe position and keep the dudunder surveillance. Since the missile is classified, it must not be leftunattended.

c. The above dud procedure, and any exception to the hangfire/misfire procedures, require personnel with specialized training andequipment to handle those rounds.lf tactical situations do not allow the3-hour waiting period or specially trained personnel are not available,the round should be destroyed in accordance with the procedures inChapter 6.TM 9-1425-429-12

Section III. PREPARATION FOR MOVEMENT

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FORIFF PROGRAMMER/BATTERY CHARGER

Section I. GENERAL

4-1. Purpose and Scope

This section contains operating and maintenance instructions for theProgrammer, Interrogator Set AN/USX1 and AN/GS (IFF programmer/batterycharger) and Computer KIR-IA/TSEC (power supply mode1 ZAC A/1) with Code KeyKIK- 18/TSEC

4-2.Equipment Description.

a. In this chapter the programmer/battery charger will be identifiedas either the programmer or battery charger- depending upon which function isbeing described. The programmer is used to program the IFF interrogator andthe battery charger is used to charge up to six IFF interrogator batteries.After a charged battery is installed, the IFF interrogator can be programmedfor 4 days of operation in either mode 4 only or mode 4 and mode 3(automatic).

b. With the exception of the interrogator cable assembly, all cablesrequired for interconnection are stored in the upper compartment of theprogrammer/battery charger.

c. The computer supplies only mode 4 data, selected by the code keythrough the programmer to the interrogator. Mode 3 is built into theinterrogator, but it can also be programselected by the function switch onthe programmer. This switch selects the programming operation (M4 or M4/M3)made available to the interrogator. In the M4 position, the interrogator isprogrammed to operate in mode 4 only. In the M4/M3 position, the interrogatoris programmed to operate in mode 4 and then switch automatically to mode 3 ifthere is no mode 4 reply or if mode reply is improper. For either program, a4-day countdown period is started in the interrogator by the programmer.d. Another function of the programmer is to self-check theinterrogator. This check makes sure that the interrogator is operational.e. The battery charger can charge up to six batteries at one time.During the charging operation, each battery being charged can be checked tobe sure that the batteries are accepting the charge. It takes a minimum of4 hours to fully charge the batteries. Additional charge time on the chargerwill not damage the batteries.Section II. PROGRAMMER/BATTERY CHARGERCONTROLS AND INDICATORS4-3.

4-6. Operation Under Unusual Conditions

The test function is designed for one battery at a time.Testing or cold weather conditioning more than one batteryat a time can damage the test-discharge load resistor.

Battery cold weather conditioning is required when the IFFInterrogator is used in temperatures below 0 degreesFahrenheit (-25 degrees Celsius). To condition each battery fortemperatures below minus 25 degrees and above minus 40 degrees,it must be discharged approximately 10 percent after beingfully charged in accordance with section 4-5. The discharge isaccomplished by holding the battery test switch in the "test"position for approximately 60 seconds. If the operating temperatureis expected to be below -40 degrees F (-40 degreees C) thedischarge time should be doubled to approximately 2 minutes.

Dual control and indicator circuitry permit charging ofthe IFF batteries while programming the lFF interrogator.TM 9-1425-429-12

5-5. IFF Programmer/Battery Charger Parts Replacement

Figure MI421683

The parts that you can replace on the programmer/batterycharger are the indicator lamp and lens assemblies (6). Toreplace lamp unscrew lens assembly and remove and replacedefective lamp. When replacing the lens assembly make sureto replace with same color lens.TM 9-1425-429-12

6-1. Shipment and Storage

a. General. Use the appropriate shipping and storagecontainer for extended storage or shipping of theweapon-round, field handling trainer, missile-round,orIFF interrogator. The IFF programmer/battery charger ishoused in its own shipping and storage container. Forthe weapon-round and trainer, make sure the sight islowered and the antenna is folded. For the weapon-round, make sure that the BCU receptacle cap and thelFF connector cap are properly installed and that theIaunch tube cover is in place. The interconnectingcable must be disconnected and the battery must be

removed from the interrogator and rotated 180 forstorage. For the IFF programmer/battery charger makesure that the power cable W-2, programmer cable W-1.and computer cable W-3 with the dust cover in place arelocated in its cover compartment. All these items mustbe secured in place so that no damage will occur intransit.

b. Shipping Name and Classification. The DOTshipping name for the weapon-round and missile-round is"Rocket Ammunition with Explosive Projectile".Shipping hazard classification (DOT) is Class A. Motor vehiclestransporting weapons over public highways must have"EXPLOSIVE A" placards with letters at least 8 inches high,one each on the front, rear and sides.

c. Quantity-Distance and Limited Storage.

(1) See TM 9-1300-206 for quantity-distanceregulations. Storage of weapon rounds/missile rounds by theusing organization is normally limited to the basic Ioad issued tothe unit. Storage separation distances are the same whetherthe weapon rounds/missile-rounds are in unbarricaded areasor being stored on vehicles. The quantity listance class forthe tactical weapon is class 1.1, based upon the 0.87 totalweight of high explosives in the warhead. The storagecompatibility group is E. In no case will the separationdistances be less than that required by TM 9-1300-206 forClass 1.1 ammunition.

(2) Stored weapon-rounds/missile rounds whether onvehicles (except the 1/4 ton trailer), in magazines, or inopen storage, should be positioned with the nose ends of themissiles all facing in the same direction and in a directionthat would cause the least damage in case of accidentalignition. Since the weapon-round, missile-round, and IFFinterrogator are classified CONFIDENTlAL, they must belocated in an area that can be protected at all times.

(3) When stored in the open, place the shipping andstorage containers on heavy dunnage and protect them with acanvas cover. The cover should not rest on the containers,but must be raised enough to allow at least 12 inches of airspace around the stacks. Protect them from the weather asmuch as possible. Refer to TM 9-1300-206.

d. Storage Temperature Limit. The storage temperaturelimit for each end item as marked on its shipping and storagecontainers is 50 degrees F to + 160 degrees F. Weapon-roundsand missile-rounds exposed to temperatures outside this rangemust not be fired. Use DAForm 2415, as required by DA PAM 738-750,to report weapon - round and missile-round to the ASP for disposition,and provide full details for the reason for turn-in.

6-2. Demolition to Prevent Enemy Use

a. General.(1) Destruction of the STINGER items, when subject tocapture or abandonment in the combat zone, will beundertaken by the user when in the judgement of theunit commander, such action is necessary in accordancewith orders of, or policy established by, the Armycommander.

(2) The guided missile can best be destroyed by firingthe weapon-round. When the weapon-round cannot befired, destruction by other means is required. Theinformation that follows is for guidance only. Certainprocedures outlined require the use of explosives andincendiary grenades which may not be qauthorized itemsfor the STINGER system. The issue of these and relatedmaterials, and the conditions under which destructionwill be effected, are command decisions in each case.The final decision is based on the tactical situation.The most applicable means of destruction are:

(a) Burning. Destruction by burning requiresgasoline, oil, incendiary grenades, or other flammables.

(b) Demolition.Destruction by demolitionrequires suitable explosives or ammunition. Under somecircumstances hand grenades may be used.

(c) Gunfire. Destruction by gunfire includes artillery,rifles using grenades, or launchers using antitank rockets.

(3) In general,destruction of essential parts,followed by burning, will usually be sufficient to render the itemuseless. However, selection of the particular method ofdestruction requires imagination and resourcefulness in the use offacilities at hand under the existing conditions. Time is usuallycritical.

(4) Adequate destruction requires that all partsessential to the weapon-round operation be destroyed ordamaged beyond repair. However, when lack of time andpersonnel prevents destuction of all essential parts, priority isgiven to those parts most difficult to replace. The guided missileIFF interrogator and grindstock with RMP module installedmust receive top priority in destruction. Equally important,the same parts must be destroyed on all Iike materiel sothat the enemy cannot construct one complete unit fromseveral damaged ones.

(5) If destruction is directed, due consideration should begiven to:

(a) Selecting a point of destruction that will cause thegreatest obstruction to enemy movement and not create ahazard to friendly troops.

(b) Observing appropriate safety precautions.

(6) The trainer may also be destroyed by mechanicalmeans, such as an ax, pick, mallet, sledge, crowbar, orsimilar implement.

b. Destruction by Burning.

----------------WARNING----------------

The weapon-round or missile-round contains two rocket motorsand a high explosive (HE) warhead. This creates an extremehazard to personnel when a weapon is destroyed by burning.

(1) Heap all material to be burned if time orconditions permit.

(2) If available, place a sufficient nuniber of incendiarygrenades about the items.

----------------WARNING----------------

To prevent serious injury or burns to personnel, care must

be taken in the handling of highly volatile liquids.

(3) Douse the items with gasoline, oil, or otherflammable liquids.

(4) Using incendiary grenades fired from a safedistance,bursts from a flame thrower, combustibletrain, or other appropriate means, ignite the equipmentand immediately take cover. Elapsed time: about 7minutes.

c. Destruction by Demolition.

NOTE

For successful destruction of the items by explosives, all concernedpersonnel will be thoroughly familiar with the pertinentprovisions of FM 5-25. Training and careful planning are essential.

(1) If sufficient time permits, all guided missiles should bedestroyed first by firing them in a manner that will cause the greatestobstruction to enemy movement, but will not inflict damage upon friendlytroops. Otherwise, the guided missiles may be destroyed by explosives.

(2) Using sufficient amount of TNT or equivalent, prepare andstrategically place charges of explosives about the items.

(3) Determine whether electrical blasting cap and wire, ornonelectric blasting caps and safety fuzes will be used for priming anddetonating the explosive charges. If nonelectric caps are used,they mustbe crimped to at least 5 feet of safety fuze.

----------------WARNING----------------

Safety fuze burns at the rate of 1 foot in 30 to 40seconds; cut off and test a portion of the fuzebefore using.

NOTE

Safety fuze, which contains black powder, and blastingcaps must be protected from moisture at all times.

(4) Connect the charges with detonating cord as required to

effect their simultaneous detonation. Dual-prime the chargesto minimize the possibility of misfire.

----------------WARNING----------------

To prevent accidental detonation, the blasting caps,detonating cord, and safety fuzes must be kept separate fromthe charges until actually required for use.

(5) If the charges are primed with nonelectric blastingcaps, ignite the safety fuzes and take cover without delay.If the charges are primed with electric blasting caps, takecover before firing. Elapsed time: about 15 minutes.

d. Destructibn by Gunfire. This method can not be reliedupon to destroy the same parts on like equipment nor toproduce the same degree of destruction. If conditionsdisallow destruction by burning and/or demolition, destroythe items by gunfire in acoordance with the following:

----------------WARNING----------------

The presence of live rocket motors and HE warheads presentsan extreme hazard to personnel firing at the weapon-roundand missile-round from a distance of less than 500 yards. Ifpossible, the guided missile should be destroyed inacoordance with c (1) above.

(1) If possible, stack or pile the items and relatedequipment.

(2) Fire on the equipment from a safe distancewith rifles using rifle grenades, with launchers usingantitank rockets, or with artillery. Although one well-placed hit mayrender the equipment temporarily useless, several hits areusually required for its complete destruction unlessan intense fire is started in which case the materialmay be considered destroyed. Elapsed time: about 5 minutes.TM 9-1425-429-12
