The Rhino Anti-IED Device is a key element of modern US military vehicles, introduced between 2006-2007, and widely used in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. The Rhino system is designed to detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at a safe distance in front of the vehicle, by emitting electromagnetic stimuli or making physical contact with roadside traps. It is complemented by specialized VHF/UHF antennas for effective communication and jamming remote detonators.

This upgrade set significantly increases the realism of a Stryker model replica, faithfully recreating all the distinctive details of contemporary military missions. We especially recommend it to advanced military modelers expecting historical accuracy and the highest level of detail, both for dioramas and individual vehicles.
