All components are contained in/on the vehicle. CLAWS has maximized use of government off-the-shelf (GOTS), commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), government furnished equipment (GFE) and non-developmental items (NDI). The system can be powered by internal and/or external power sources. It is manned by a crew of two Stinger Gunners from the Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) Battalion, who function as the vehicle commander/gunner and driver. The CLAWS will provide sufficient mobility to keep pace with supported maneuver elements, carry its own weapons and support equipment, and be capable of engaging targets within minutes.
