After 40 years or so, it's probably about time:
"The US Army Program Executive Office, Missiles and Space, Project Manager, Short and Intermediate Effectors for Layered Defense (SHIELD) is conducting research to identify potential interested sources with the capability to provide a new surface-to-air* missile, referred to as Maneuver Short Range Air Defense Increment 3 (M-SHORAD Inc. 3), to meet increasing demand and growing threat capability.
The Stinger- Reprogrammable Microprocessor (RMP) will become obsolete in fiscal year (FY) 2023 and Stinger Block I is undergoing a service life extension to extend its end of useful life. The current Stinger inventory is in decline. The Army plans to begin design, development, and test of a replacement missile in FY23 leading to the production of 10,000 M-SHORAD Inc. 3 missiles beginning in FY27."
