It's interesting that Longbow Hellfire is being rolled into IM-SHORADS as an anti-aircraft weapon against helicopters and some fixed-wing aircraft, not just a secondary anti-armor capability. It's not fast like ADATS, but fast enough to be useful at least. JAGM may also pick up the same role.

Lockheed may repurpose its Joint Air-to-Ground Missile for air defense

The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile could be the next interceptor for the U.S. Army's European-deployed Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense capability, according to the U.S. defense giant.

IN an interesting update, it looks like Hellfire is being dropped from the MSHORAD vehicle in favor of a second Stinger pod. Seems Hellfire is too big to easily manhandle onto the vehicle.
