Capability of launching an anti-tank guided missile from an airborne platform, such as a helicopter or aircraft.

Fire-and-forget refers to a missile guidance system where the missile guides itself to its target after launch, requiring no further input from the operator.

A guidance system in ATGMs that uses infrared sensors to create a thermal image of the target for precise homing.

A guidance method that uses inertial navigation sensors together with satellite‑based GPS signals to determine a missile’s position and steer it toward a target.

Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light, used in missile guidance systems to detect and track targets based on heat signatures.

A proximity fuze is a detonation mechanism in ATGMs that triggers when the missile approaches within a set distance of a target, using sensors like radar or laser to detect proximity.

Enables real-time sharing of position, targeting, and sensor data among aircraft and platforms for coordinated combat operations.
