📖 TERMS ON THIS PAGE8terms
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.
A guidance system where a missile receives mid-flight course corrections from an external source, such as ground control or satellite.
Launched from a ground-based platform, such as a vehicle or tripod, rather than an aircraft or other airborne system.
Launched from naval platforms, such as ships or submarines.
Sea‑skimming is a low‑altitude flight profile in which a missile or projectile flies close to the sea surface to minimize radar detection and increase survivability.
Enables real-time sharing of position, targeting, and sensor data among aircraft and platforms for coordinated combat operations.
A two-stage ATGM propulsion system where a booster stage initially accelerates the missile before a sustainer stage maintains flight velocity.
