General information

The Carrier Air Defense Missile System XM975 is a U.S. self-propelled missile defence (SAM) system based on the French Roland ground-to-air missile that was constructed on the Tracked Carrier - XM975. The U.S. Army evaluated the Roland missile system in the 1970s and early 1980s. The Roland ground-to-air missile launcher was mounted on the Tracked Carrier - XM975 (a weapon-tracked carrier that was also utilized on the M109 self-propelled howitzer). Overall, this SAM system had limited service, with only one prototype manufactured and approximately 27 units produced in total. It served in the U.S. Army for about 5 to 10 years before being phased out.

Introduced in Update "Winged Lions", the XM975 is a top-ranking U.S. Army ground forces SAM system, that clears the skies of potential enemy aircraft. This SAM system will be quite familiar to French Army ground personnel, as it uses the French Roland ground-to-air missile as its primary weapon. Unfortunately, it lacks additional armaments and only has two ready-to-fire missiles in the missile launcher, forcing the player to make every missile count.
