ANN's Daily Aero-Term (06.29.15): Man Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS)

The potential for MANPADS use against airborne aircraft is real and requires familiarity with the subject. Terrorists choose MANPADS because the weapons are low cost, highly mobile, require minimal set−up time, and are easy to use and maintain.
