Redeye. The Redeye missile system, shown in Figure 2-55, is designed for use against low-flying aircraft. It
is a shoulder-fired weapon consisting of an M41-series missile sealed inside its launcher. It is issued as a
complete round, and is packaged in two configurations. One configuration is in an aluminum shipping container
(called a monopak). The other is in a polystyrene container (called a unipak). The Redeye uses infrared (heat-
sensitive) homing guidance. It has an impact warhead and a self-destruct backup. Its color code is an olive-drab
missile launcher with four 1-inch yellow squares placed 90 apart on the propulsion section and yellow markings.
