Susektas Rapier is a variant of the Rapier surface-to-air missile system that uses a tracked vehicle as a launcher platform. It was developed by British Aerospace in the late 1970s for the Iranian Army, but after the Iranian Revolution, the order was cancelled and the system was adopted by the British Army instead. Tracked Rapier offered several advantages over the towed version, such as greater mobility, faster deployment, and increased missile capacity.
Susektas Rapier was used by the British Army of the Rhine and later by the RAF Regiment to provide low-altitude air defence against enemy aircraft. Tracked Rapier was also exported to several countries, including Oman, Malaysia, and Brunei.
