The Chaparral is a highly mobile, surface-to-air missile system fielded to protect stationary critical assets within the division against low-flying enemy aircraft. Chaparral is fielded in the self-propelled configuration only; however, the lauching station is a complete, self-contained weapon system and may be separated from the carrier and operated in a ground-emplaced mode. 1, record 1, English, - Chaparral
