Can the Avenger system operate independently of other air defense systems?

The Avenger system is designed to provide air defense capabilities but it does operate more effectively when integrated with other air defense systems. In independent operations, while the Avenger can engage threats using its radar and missile systems, its overall effectiveness is diminished without the additional data and support that comes from a larger integrated defense network. This includes targets' tracking and identification provided by higher command or other supporting radar systems.

When operating independently, although the Avenger can still perform its intended role, its situational awareness and engagement range may be limited compared to an operation in conjunction with other systems, thus leading to reduced effectiveness. This highlights the importance of system integration in maximizing operational capabilities within air defense.
