📖 TERMS ON THIS PAGE6terms
Guidance system using onboard radar to actively emit and receive signals for target tracking and missile course correction.
Capability of launching an anti-tank guided missile from an airborne platform, such as a helicopter or aircraft.
The initial propulsion phase where a high-thrust motor accelerates the missile to operational velocity.
Launched from a ground-based platform, such as a vehicle or tripod, rather than an aircraft or other airborne system.
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.
