The US Army has refurbished 1,900 Stinger missiles once deemed “unserviceable.”
The effort saved approximately $50,000 per round and added 10 years to the anti-aircraft missile’s service life.
Moreover, the missile has been equipped with new technology to deal with unmanned aerial systems, “a threat that Stinger was not originally designed for decades ago,” the US Army said.
Well slightly used I suppose, how about deployed once but unfired, item will come in original packaging (packaging will be damaged) (minor imperfection (less than 1 foot) on front or side of item)
Is there such a thing as a used missile?
SpaceX comes to mind
I mean, sure, kinda. Not sure the engineering is quite the same, even if some of the results are.
In a sense, maybe you could call refurbished missiles “not new”:
